Pool teaching (for 6thseasonbuffy)

[letsdropin]

Yeah, it had taken Reid a bit of recon to find a place that was likely to be decent for making it possible to both play pool and relax, but then again, he had the whole of the day for it, and since he meant to enjoy things, he didn't do this bit casually, either.

Eventually, he liked a place - and no, it wasn't extremely cultured or anything. Just had a feel to it that rang true with Reid. That was enough - there was enough experience for him to trust that.

He texted the location to Tony. And then went to look around some more. No, he really hadn't been there before. So. It had to be explored, the place. Yes, it was big. No, that wasn't intimidating.

Eventually, he got home and rested a bit, because. And then he made his way to the pool place, settling with a beer to wait for the other guy to show up. Not that he had any idea where things were going to end up - maybe just a game, maybe an interesting conversation. Maybe longer hanging around would end up in them fighting, which he'd keep to civilized levels, because he'd learned, but still; and maybe they were going to have a different ending for the night altogether. Mmmm keeping an open mind.

It had been a typical day on set for Tony, which for him meant that his name got yelled every five seconds or was changed to "somebody", as in "somebody needs to climb up on that scaffolding and change the broken light bulb". Tony had learned pretty quickly that when he was working, "somebody" usually meant him. He'd been harassed by Brenda in wardrobe and by Mason, swapped stories with Everett and talked tattoos and bad script ideas with Amy. He'd also dropped something on his foot when Lee smiled at him, which was typical by no less embarrassing. One day Tony would be able to look at the handsome actor without blushing. Today was not that day.

He'd left the night shoot just as the midnight mass bells started ringing in the church outside the studio and checked his cell phone with the texted directions again. Some nice pool, a little drinking, and interesting conversation awaited.

He arrived at the place at little after one o'clock and searched the dimmed circles of light above the pool tables for Reid.
