Going through the motions of a search, sore. From thepowerplayers

Hittin’ Spike and knockin’ him senseless felt good, but when Angel dumped him in the garbage can, that was the icin’ on the cake. Man, that was wicked poetic justice.

Still, I didn’t like walkin’ around with my nose broken, and it was, and more then that, Spike had started the whole fight after givin’ me and Angel shit for havin’ sex when slayers were dead and the straw that broke the camel’s back was when he asked me as I joined the search party, if I had been tryin’ to get into B’s good graces after pissin’ her off with a search that I didn’t care about.

Who did he think he was to presume to know what I was thinkin’? Sure, B’ was mad at me, but it wasn’t exactly the first time that it had happened and it kinda made me not want to search for the kid. She was with Xander after all. It wasn’t like she was alone on the streets, and besides, there weren’t that many demons out anymore, anyway. They were all pretty much of the dead. Besides, Dawn had gone out because she wanted to. She was mad at B’ and me for chloroformin’ her before the big fight, and she was probably sad because Willow had died, slayers had died and probably needed to blow off some steam.

I knew the feelin’. Spike had me so wired and at the same time, if I got punched in the face again, I felt like my nose would explode.

Looked at Angel, as he was all doin’ the vamp thing, usin’ his nose, tryin’ to sense her, and we went into bars, both with abrasions and bruises and blood on our face because of Spike. After about the fifth bar, I was thinkin’ to myself that I should say somethin’ all along…but after the fifth bar, I made my feelin’s known. He was my man now, after all, and that’s what it was about.

“Angel, look, she probably needs to blow off some steam, and to be honest, I’m thinkin’ I should put some ice on my nose, because it’s broken. What do you say we give up the search? When Spike wake’s up from the beat down that he got, in the trash, I’m sure he’ll limp along, lookin’ out for her, anyway. Can’t we just go back to the hotel, baby? I look ridiculous right now and you have the blackest eye I’ve ever seen….”

Outside of Spike’s maybe, that is.

Angel wasn’t game for it and he was broodin’ again. Angel, the man was hot and good in the sack and reliable as hell in every way, but damn, now he was pushin’ this too far.

“Come on, lover. Don’t tell me that you’re still worried about Buffy bein’ mad at you. That’s already the case, and besides, Dawn went out with Xander on her own. Xander’s the one to blame here. We’ve looked like everywhere. I’m startin’ to think that they didn’t go to any bars at all. And please don’t tell me your mad at what we did to Spike. He was just askin’ for it and besides, he ended up in the garbage and gave it almost as good as he got it. The garbage was like the perfect place for him…”

He looked at me again and then pulled me inside of some club called d’abolique. He was lookin’ around like he had been here before, but when I looked around, all that I saw was that there was no Xander and no Dawn.

“Since we’re here, why don’t we toss back a couple of drinks, at least…?”
