The Roof, Wednesday Evening [9.2]

[icecoldfrost]

After handwavily indulging in cigars last night after the broadcast, Emma wasn't craving a smoke right now. Still, she liked the roof, and had taken her AP Algebra textbook up with her to get out of her room for a bit. Hank had somehow arranged for her to take a correspondence class for credit, so that she'd have more 'traditional' classes on her transcripts. She would have preferred statistics, honestly, but algebra wasn't too painful.

And if she kept twirling a cigarette between her fingers as she worked on her assignment, well, she'd need a break soon anyway.

[open roof is open!]

"She does seem less insane than the other teachers I've had here," Chuck agreed. "But her class was one I signed up for because I liked the subject. The whole religion thing has been interesting me lately."

"You're converting?" Jack asked casually. He thought he remembered Chuck saying something about being Christian in class; he didn't entirely trust religious Christians. The ones at home never seemed to think much of Jews.

"Not really. I don't think I could ever be the whole bible-quoting, baptized type of of religious person," Chuck said. "I've just been finding myself going to church a lot lately. I like hearing the angel there talk."

Also he thought the whole religion thing was hot.

"I'm not much for angels," Jack said, half apologetic. "I would say I didn't believe in them, but that's rather insulting to your friend in town."

"I think he's used to people not believing in angels," Chuck said, smirking. "He certainly doesn't play into the halo wearing, harp playing, totally personable angel you see on TV."

[bitten_notshy]

"So what is he like?" Jack wondered. "If he isn't ... angelic."

"Castiel is pretty much the last person I'd go to for a hug. He's not into expressing emotion," Chuck explained. "I also think he's incapable of giving a straight answer. But he still manages to get his point across, if you're listening closely."

"... I think you just got me to church, Chuck," Jack said, since all of that sounded interesting. "Once the play is over, anyhow. Be impressed with yourself. I'm not Christian."

"Wow, seriously? I am impressed with myself," Chuck said with a grin. "...you said you were Jewish in class, right?"

See, he had been paying attention. Well. Paying attention to people he liked talking to, anyway.

Jack nodded. "I'm not incredibly faithful, but yes."

"Far be it for me to chastise someone for not being faithful," he said with a smirk. Because, really, this was Chuck Bass speaking. He couldn't chastise anybody for anything. "I can't say I know too much about Judaism."

Chuck barely knew anything about his own damn religion.

"I'm not the best person to ask," Jack said. "I was adopted and my guardian isn't. I know the basics and what I read in books, not as much as people who were raised entirely in it know."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"That's understandable," he said with a nod. "Honestly, I barely know anything about Christianity. But I guess that's what the class is for, right?"
