Xander was injured patrolling again. Not seriously, but enough to warrant me being stuck as his sodding baby sitter. He was on some pretty strong pain killers. This was going to be a real treat. Xander was nearly intolerable while he was babbling stone sober, but now under the influence, he was bound to be bloody Socrates.
“Blondie I can’t tell you how much it means that you’re here for me.”
“Didn’t have much choice did I? Your friends have lives apparently. Miss the demon Bint, she was always good to patch you up and let me have my alone time”
Xander gave off the most unmanly giggle I had ever heard, then proceeded to flash me a dazzling smile. “I personally am glad you’re here and not anyone else. I like it when I get you to myself”.
“Since when, have you gone round the bend? You almost as much time snarking at me as the Slayer spends beating me up. I feel like I should make a sodding blow up doll for you lot.”
“Aw, didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. I was just joking around. They say you always hurt the ones you love.”
(Do your thang honey)
I could feel it from the start
Couldn't stand to be apart
Something ‘bout you caught my eye
Something moved me deep inside
I don't know what you did boy but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since
“Easy, people are going to start thinking you are batting for the other team”. The kid obviously must have popped an extra pain killer because he was caned. Seriously if you looked sideways at his comment he was saying he loved me.
“That’s okay everyone already knows that I have a big manly gay crush on you. Even Anya.”
I did a spit take at that.
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
Told the others, my lovers from past and present tense
That every time I see you everything starts making sense
(Do your thang honey)
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
“Oh, yeah around the time of the Buffy Bot when we all thought Buffy was sleeping with you. I told her no one would judge her because you were such a hottie. Plus you go around saving my life a lot. Easy for me to get with the mushy feelings over here.”
“I don’t know if I should take you to the clinic for an overdose, or if I should tape this and play it back when you sober up.”
“I’m not that loopy. Well, okay I am. But I’m not making this up. Just confessy what with the lowered inhibitions”.
Never thought I'd be alright, no no no
?Til you came and changed my life, yeah yeah yeah
What was cloudy now is clear, yeah yeah
You're the light that I needed
You got what I want boy and I want it
So keep on givin' it up
“Hottie? What are you a 12 year old teen?”
“Who couldn’t appreciate the cheek bones, the steel blue eyes, that whole creature of the night vibe. I bet people walking more firmly on the straight side of life would admit you’re a hottie.”
“Can you stop saying that. You are making someone who has seen 200 years on this forsaken planet uncomfortable.”
So tell your mother, your brother, your sister and your friends
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
“Listen, you can either get with the wiggins and get out, or you can come to terms with this and we can have some horizontal fun. The girls have been nagging me for weeks to make a move. If I don’t tell them we resolved some of the serious UST tonight, I am afraid Anya will tie you to my bed and tape us.”
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
(Break it down now)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other other
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover
Ain't no other, I-I-I need no other
Ain't no other man but you
“That’s it I am calling Giles and Buffy. This has to be a side effect of the demon or another haywire from Red.”
“It’s not that hard to believe when you think about it, you have been there through some of my worst moments and you still come out and play pool with me. We haven’t paid you in weeks and you still fight with us. Your insults have even lost a lot of the nastiness. Face it Spike we’re friends.”
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
“Friends is one thing. Doesn’t mean I am going to drop my drawers because you have the stones to admit you can see how obviously great I am.”
“Sure you will, I’m a nummy treat remember.”
Bullocks.
