ceruleancat who said, "does he wear socks to bed when he's cold?" and who likes fluff like a sheep.
He wears socks to bed, Giles does, especially when it's cold, because the blankets sometimes travel up a bit and his feet stay uncovered. It's not exactly the sexiest or most dignified solution, those thick woolly bits of fluff in various colours, but it serves the purpose. And anyway, who sees him in bed? He sleeps alone, he lives alone. He can be as ridiculous as he likes, padding to the bathroom in the morning still wearing the socks, before changing into a more respectable appearance. Who has he got to impress?
In the evening he gets ready to bed after a long day, pulling the socks up on his weary feet and he sighs with relief. It's silly, just how pleasant the socks are. He slips under the covers, pulling the blanket over his shoulder, and falls asleep.
Middle of the night, there are quiet noises and a body slips into bed with him, warm and familiar. Sleepy, he inhales the scent he knows so well, and doesn't even think about it until something extremely cold presses itself against his shins. Giles sits up in bed as if bitten.
"Ethan?"
"Yes?" Ever so innocent, as if it hasn't been years since they last saw each other.
Giles sighs. "Your toes are frozen."
The response is the same shocking cold, although by now somewhat warmer, sliding up against the thin fabric of his pyjamas, pressing up his thigh. The jump and hiss it causes are far less dramatic than the previous reaction, as the move was predictable.
"Bastard."
Ethan only grins and burrows further into Giles' blanket. Giles sighs and removes the covers, getting out of bed, and pads towards his wardrobe.
"Where are you going?" For just a moment, Ethan's voice almost betrays insecurity.
"I'm going to get you socks," Giles says.

That's very them. Or at least it seems that way to me.
