❛ oh? ❜ for a moment alex had to seriously consider whether or not she actually was interested. not that spending time with spike was terrible but — he seemed to attract trouble like no one’s business. 

❛ alright, i’m interested. ❜ 

^{the place in mind is only a walk away.  hearing her accept is like scraping gunk out of his ears that he never realized was there,  exposing himself to a new sort of sound.  maybe it’s because this is his first time asking in a long time.    “  you like trouble that much ?   i was expecting you to say no,  “   he looks pleased with himself but who can ever say if it’s genuine anymore, or how deep that feeling goes.      he starts to walk, hands in pockets.}
