Leverage/SPN, Eliot/Dean, Pool

Eliot couldn’t remember the phrase that went along with the game of pool. Was it “the game of kings”? That might have been golf. Was it “a game for a man’s man”? Maybe that was it, maybe it wasn’t. It didn’t really matter. When it came right down to it, Eliot could play pool, but it wasn’t really his game. Sometimes it was just more fun to watch.

Dean was fun to watch.

Dean really enjoyed playing pool. Even more than that, Dean enjoyed playing the suckers and making them believe he didn’t know how to play, and then taking them for all the money in their wallets. That wasn’t just fun to watch, it was mesmerizing.

Eliot had the advantage of knowing what he was looking at; it was a real pleasure watching a master at work. Because they’d spent time playing together when Dean didn’t feel the need to hold back, Eliot knew that Dean had mathematical vision – he could see all the balls and all the angles in a way most people couldn’t fathom. So watching him flub those early shots and pretend to be genuinely frustrated was funny.

But what Eliot liked best was the moment when Dean made the transition from “vulnerable tourist” to “Paul Newman in The Hustler”, because it was so subtle. It was all about how he stood, how he held the cue, how he looked at the table. It wasn’t a showy change, nothing grand enough to get the mark’s attention and make him start screaming, “Bastard! You cheated!” There was definitely a power shift, and Eliot liked the way Dean could draw it around himself.

But the best part of watching Dean play pool was watching him bend that fine ass over the table and imagining all the ways he’d make his own power play once he got Dean all to himself.
