Fourth Floor Common Room - Tuesday Morning

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean ushered Alec in and pushed him in the direction of the couch.

"Trust me," he said as he headed for the coffee pot. "You'll feel a lot better once you get some caffiene." He wasn't smirking at Alec's drowsiness, not at all.

Well, maybe a little.

Dean himself was not only wide awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed -- not literally although he did actually check this morning just in case -- but was so after less sleep than he usually got and with no caffiene. He couldn't figure out if he was grateful about this or disgusted.

Willow had no morning classes, but she did have a lunch date to get to.

Passing by the common room on her way out and into town, she saw the boys. "Hey, guys!"

"Willow!" Dean handed the mug of coffee he'd poured to Alec with a muttered, "Drink this," then turned his attention on Willow with a slightly evil smile. "Just the witch we're looking for."

Alec grumbled and sat down, yawning widely. "What do you do when you don't have caffiene?"

Alec peered at Willow, but settled for sipping coffee and waking up before being outwardly cranky.

"Yawn a lot," Dean replied with a grin. "Generally the only times I can't go stumble somewhere nearby for coffee, I'm being woken up by something that is adrenaline inducing, which works almost as well. Be glad we're going the coffee route and not the demon attack route."

"Everything go okay?" Willow guessed.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Another yawn, and then Alec glared at Dean - who was looking perky, dammit - while feeling like some sort of sleep zombie. "At least I'd be awake all at once."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"This way is better, trust me. And the coffee makes for longer lasting non-drowsy. With adrenaline you just crash and burn all the harder after the demon is gone."

"Not really." He pointed at himself. "This is Alec's body." He pointed at Alec. "That's Alec."

Willow blinked a few times. "Are you two having fun with the whole looking like each other thing? Because that's kinda mean to the unsuspecting."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I am instant gratification guy," Alec said, drinking coffee in slightly large gulps than one might usually drink it. "But I see your point."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"No, he means we've switched--" A yawn interrupted him and he scowled slightly as it ended, looking up at Willow. "We've switched bodies."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know you two could do that."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Instant gratification -- is that what you call it?" Dean asked, leaning back against the counter and smirking at Alec.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Not without magical balls of light being 'helpful' and doing it for us," Alec said. "So how do we switch it-- us back?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"When I'd like things to happen now rather than later?" Alec eyed Dean, cupping the hot coffee mug in both hands. "I'm pretty sure that is what it's called."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Explains why I had to give you and Jaye a cold shower anyway."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow gasped with shock. "I did this??"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Either that or it's the most incredible freaking coincidence in the history of conincidences," Dean said.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec snorted. "There was no had to. Purely your own decision."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"That's so great!" Willow said, looking inordinately pleased. "That's such an advanced spell! Wow. Go me!"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well," Dean smirked, "yeah. But it was still because of you and your need for 'instant gratification'."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"No!" Alec sat up, a little more awake, almost alarmed. "You go, but only if that means finding out how to change it back!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I can, I can!" Willow assured him. "Just... need to figure out what went wrong. Okay. Huh. Not that. Couldn't have been that. Definitely not - oh! Did either of you smell cinnamon?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Not that I can recall," Dean said. "Alec? You're the one who had the super senses."
