The Burial of the little niblet...of Dawn.
Was stuck here with Xander and Anya. Wasn't something that I would call especially confortable, especially considering the fact that in a moment of drunken weakness, Anya and I had committed to something that was spawned by me being shunned by the slaya, and her being stood up at the alter by monkey boy, when we had shagged...when I had shagged her
( Read more... )
I wanted to strangle her, but as long as Buffy wasn't here, I was okay with her knowing. Of course she knew. Coming back after monkey boy had stood her up at the wedding with a lot of demon in her, again, she could sense these kinds of things, but I had forgotten about that. Now, they would tell Buffy and I wanted to be the one to tell her when I was ready, considering what I had done to her before I left...or what I supposedly tried to do to her.
"How did you get it?"
"Got it in a box of lucky charms. Those little leprechauns have quite the sense of humor let me tell you."
She wasn't buying it. Xander, as always, was clueless.
"Okay, he has something and the fact that you know it, Ahn, seems to be pissing him off. Since we seem not to be talking about Giles and this latest spell, why don't those in the room who know what Anya is talking about fill in the only human left in the room?"
Wasn't going to be the one to tell him. Wouldn't make a difference, anyway. Best of my recollection, he didn't exactly take to Angel having one, and I didn't get it for him, anyway. Not only that, but he was looking at me like I had just shagged Anya, again, and I swear, if I didn't have this chip and a soul now, I would bite the blighter. Okay, no I wouldn't. All of the blood in the world gone and him the only one left and I still wouldn't bite him.
"You can start talking at anytime. Either of you."
"Ex-fiancee is talking about me getting my rocks back, monkey boy. Yeah, went away, met a nice girl and now we have a relationship that tops all relationships. She's quite the little dominatrix. Really a hoot. You should meet her."

I ignored what Xander said. Sure, he was going to be mad, but I had to know where Spike got his soul. It was a complete shock to me. That he would do this. That he would for Buffy. At least that's what it seemed like.
"Got it in a box of lucky charms. Those little leprechauns have quite the sense of humor let me tell you."
Spike thought he was funny. I, for one, didn't think he was funny. "Yeah, sure. That's why you were gone so long. What did you have to do to get it?" My eyes perked with interest. Xander began to huff and puff. I looked over at him, and he looked really annoyed.
"Ex-fiancee is talking about me getting my rocks back, monkey boy. Yeah, went away, met a nice girl and now we have a relationship that tops all relationships. She's quite the little dominatrix. Really a hoot. You should meet her."
I crossed my arms over my chest. "Rocks back? Spike, you hardly have any rocks if you're keeping this a secret." He looked at me. If looks could kill, I might be dead. "Oh, wait. You're waiting to tell her. I guess I don't blame you. She'll definitely be surprised, but what if it doesn't change anything? She might still think you're a pathetic excuse for a vampire and blow you off. Then, you'll be stuck with that thing forever. Stuck with everything you've done in your undead life." Xander looked more confused than anything. I could spill the beans on Spike, but I decided to stay quiet. Besides, I put him in a tight spot. My job was almost done. I couldn't help but smile.

Now, I was just getting irritated. Dawn had to be buried, and we were talking about something mysterious that Spike had picked up, and worst of all, it was probably something stupid.
"Yeah, sure. That's why you were gone so long. What did you have to do to get it?"
Okay. Had just about enough of this stupid biplay, by now. Dawn was dead in front of us, and we didn't have time for this.

"Rocks back? Spike, you hardly have any rocks if you're keeping this a secret."
"Okay. I'm a little tired of the cryptic and just tired period. Dawn's dead. We need to plan her burial, which is a little freaksome. I need the two of you acting crazier then the both of you already are like I need a hole in the head."
"Oh, wait. You're waiting to tell her. I guess I don't blame you. She'll definitely be surprised, but what if it doesn't change anything?

I threw my hands up in the air.
"Spike! What the hell did you get for christ's sake?"

Anya was not telling Xander, and monkey boy was getting irritated with it. Guess that I can understand where he was coming from, with Dawn all dead and all in front of us, but pissing him off gave me a tickle that was almost indescribable. Anya wouldn't be put off by this. She was a little more demon then met the eye, now, so I couldn't fool her. She could sense the soul.

Didn't see what my stones had to do with holding this secret in, but apparently, for being so old, Anya didn't understand what rocks were.

What was the still all about? "First of all, Buffy never thought that I was pathetic. Second of all, it might be for her, but it was something that I wanted. So...sod off with the remarks, Anya."
"Spike! What the hell did you get for christ's sake?"
To tell or not to tell? Bloody why not? Bird that he left at the alter would eventually tell him anyway. "Nothing like Angel here, Harris, but went on a quest and beat a bunch of demons up, and a mojoman put a soul into my chest."

My head cocked to the side. "Me, sod off? Yeah, that'll happen. I'm just being honest, Spike." To think I slept with him. He's not even man enough to think he's pathetic.
Speaking of pathetic, Xander was getting a little too bent out of shape for his own good. He gets all cranky if he doesn't know something, everybody else knows.
"Spike! What the hell did you get for christ's sake?"
I rolled my eyes. "Xander, you think anyone would tell you what's going on, if you yell at them? It's obvious what I'm talking about. How can you not know?" Xander looked at me with a glare. I glared back at him. It's not my fault he can't figure it out.
"Nothing like Angel here, Harris, but went on a quest and beat a bunch of demons up, and a mojoman put a soul into my chest."
Well, well. Spike decided to tell Xander. Maybe, he wasn't that pathetic, after all. I looked him over. "No, you're not like Angel. Angel had the tall, dark, mysterious thing going for him. He has a lovely scowl. I don't know, maybe it's the protruding forehead. It's very unique." I smiled as Spike and Xander looked at me with disgust.
