Christmas present #1

[hils]

authoressnebula wanted a drabble where there's a fight and Buffy chooses Spike over Angel.

It's more of a mini ficlet than a drabble. I got a bit carried away. LOL


Spike knew he should have left as soon as Buffy and Angel started to kiss. She’d clearly made her choice and he was an idiot to think she might have even thought about choosing him. The night they’d spent together had been perfect for him, but it hadn’t meant anything to her. She’d needed someone and he’d been there, just as he always was. He seemed almost surprised to find his feet moving him towards the couple instead of away from them, and the punch came without him even thinking about it.

Angel reacted quickly, hitting back before even fully processing who his attacker was. Buffy on the other hand seemed rooted to the spot as the watched the two souled vampires lashing out at each other.

“I’m bloody sick of you taking all the women I love,” Spike snarled as he moved in for another punch.

“Love?” Buffy and Angel spoke the word at the same time, stunned, surprised and in Angel’s case horrified.

Spike used Angel’s momentary distraction to his advantage, dealing him one final punch before turning to face Buffy.

“I’m not an idiot, Buffy. I never expected you to choose me. I just…”

His sentence trailed off, the words he wanted to express just failing to come.

Buffy looked at him intently. “Spike, you are an idiot. You don’t know anything about how I feel.”

“I know Buffy, and-“

He was cut off as she kissed him, long and hard, only pulling back when she finally needed to breathe.

“I choose you.”
