Buffy, I could see. Willow, I could respect. Even Giles, I could eventually forgive. Ripper's not a bad sort, once you get to know him.

But sharing a roster with Wyndam-Ponce? Not exactly what I had in mind. We've been together, what? Few years now. Think it might have earned me a bit of fair warning before inviting him in.

No, but you're right. Least it wasn't Mr. Broodypants himself.

And your indignation and superiority have nothing whatsoever to do with jealousy issues or attempts to vie for mun attention at all, I'm sure.

Hey, you think it's easy, living with Captain Kirk and Tony Fucking Stark in here? Do you hear me complaining, though?

Wesley's not even cool. How could someone who likes me like him?

[slay]

[ there's a look of confusion there for a long moment, because lbr the real question is how can someone who likes spike also like kirk and tony stark. he's not half as cool as he thinks he is. but buffy will catch up and realize that he ... sure really thinks he is. ]

... Right. Obviously. Because your company is much better served with a billionaire superhero and a starship captain. [ beat. ] A starship captain who captains actual people and not bugs. [ there's an unconvincing nod. ] Of course.

[idolstolemylook]

Well, yeah. Better than a bluestocking in trousers who--

Wait.

Bugs?

[slay]

Wesley's blue? [ no one is understanding anything here. she raises a hand to wave it off. ] Never mind. Don't wanna know. Point is, believe me when I say nobody who likes you likes you because of your cool factor, Spike. [ and she's most certainly not admitting that she's one of them because she'd rather pull his pigtails tbh. ]

[idolstolemylook]

How would you know?

[slay]

Must be my keen sense of intuition.

[ex_chamomiles197]

[ Enjoy this one, William. Enjoy it hard, because it'll be a dark day in hell before it happens again. ]

I may have to agree with you there.

[idolstolemylook]

What makes you think I trust you to even know what's cool?

[slay]

How about my even keener sense of fashion - which, unlike yours, has been updated since 1978.

[idolstolemylook]

Yeah, yeah, tear me down, black is white, I know this bloody tune, Watcher, I--

What?

[idolstolemylook]

Tell me again, how old were you in 1978?

[slay]

Century and a half and still no one's clued you in that it's rude to ask a lady her age, huh?

[idolstolemylook]

I was born clued in. Luckily, it didn't last.

[ex_chamomiles197]

It's an, er, rather bothersome situation. You act as if you're the only one who's ever had to share space with him.

This all depends on when, exactly, he's been ripped from our reality, of course. I've been told he got tolerable in the future.

[slay]

Shame.

So, let me get this straight. You've actually managed to leap over the incredible hurdle of sharing your headspace with very needy candidates, but yet you're going all full-stop judgy on Wesley just because he doesn't meet the minimum cool requirements for your little boys' club? [ scoff ] What is this, Heathers?

[idolstolemylook]

Don't particularly want to tolerate him, Rupert. Said yourself it's not a good spot to be in.

[idolstolemylook]

You realize I'm Christian Slater in Heathers, right?

And yes. Want to know why? I'll tell you why. Because he heard stories from you lot about me. The Captain's too busy shagging left an' right to care, an' Stark's aiming in the bloody dark, but Wesley's a bit of home I don't need.

[ex_chamomiles197]

Nonetheless, there is worse company. At least he doesn't make his way through the contents of your fridge like a wounded buffalo.

[ Still bitter about that time. Yup. ]

[slay]

[ there's a harsh choke of a laugh as she quickly rushes out - ] You are not Christian Slater. [ she cut out way too many of his pictures from magazines for spike to be christian slater. and really this is the important part of all that. she'll get back on topic in a moment, ok, allow her this. ]

[idolstolemylook]

For a tiny thing, that Slayer sure can eat.

[idolstolemylook]

Well I'm not Winona Ryder. And I'm sure as hell not Shannen Doherty.

[slay]

I dunno. You do kinda have the crooked eyes going on a little bit. [ she's just messing with him at this point. ]

[ex_chamomiles197]

That's not who I was referring to, Spike.

[hamshotfirst]

I sympathize with your plight, good sir. I myself must consort with Andrew Jackson. Jackson! Why is he worth twenty dollars???
