First Time Drabbles

Connor - Post NFA - Sad Reflections

First times are supposed to be sweet, awkward, maybe even a little desperate. What they’re not supposed to be is fiery pain from broken ribs, tears and bucket loads of pity. They aren’t supposed to be some twisted perversion of love, a rutting done for a purpose.

I will never know if I truly had any feelings for Cordy. Years later, all I’m left with is a hollow ache inside me when I think about it and anger. It might not have been her fault but sometimes, in the dark of night, I can’t help blaming her.


Giles - S4 - Bleed to Love you

The first time he played guitar it hurt and his fingers bled and Giles swore he’d never play it again. Of course that was not an option. His father wouldn’t allow for quitting though once Rupert had abandoned classical guitar for rock and roll, the elder Giles probably wished he had. Giles had never regretted learning to play, learning to create. And playing in the band had gotten him into all those knickers, so who was he to complain? Now when he played at the coffee houses, his wild days sadly behind him, Giles felt the beauty of the music.
