Back with exhaustion and S/X drabble!

Vacation was great.

Coming home was...not so great. It is nice (understatement!!) to have internet again, and I think I may finally have caught up on my flist, more or less - but the repairs the landlord was supposed to have made still haven't been done, and there's a ton of work and stuff I have to catch up on.

So of course, I decided instead to write a drabble for the Batpack Birthday Drabble Tree. S/X, PG.


Flicks

“I thought you’d pick something else, all right?”

Spike tried to look hurt. The smirk made this difficult.

“You said I got to pick the movie if you got to pick the beer.”

“My point exactly! This is guy movie night, with beer!”

“Movie, check. Beer, check. What’s the problem?”

“The problem?” Xander spluttered. “The problem is I expect explosions! Monsters! Car chases, or space battles, or Carrie-Ann Moss in PVC! Who hijacked your brain in the video store?!”

“Yeah, but you actually watch those movies.”

“That makes…no sense.”

Spike leered. “I like what happens when the movie bores you.”

Welcome back!! *hugs* I'm sorry to hear that coming back from vacation wasn't great. But yay for having your computer again!!!!!

Love the drabble!!! I love Spike trying to look hurt. This is a great Xander line:
“The problem?” Xander spluttered. “The problem is I expect explosions! Monsters! Car chases, or space battles, or Carrie-Ann Moss in PVC! Who hijacked your brain in the video store?!” heee!

And I adore why Spike got the movie that bores Xander - ah, that Spike, smarter than he seems. I also thought it was cool that the movie's title was never said. *g*

Hee! I couldn't decide what it was! Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Ten Commandments, Das Boot, Out of Africa, Shakespeare in Love? The list goes on; take your pick. :)

Oh, it's good to be home, really. It's just...I hate how you end up paying for vacation by having an extra-nuts time when you get back, it uses up the relaxed feeling so quickly! Also, I'm still kinda jet-lagged and grumpy.

Spike is smart. Not always wise, or organized, but smart. ;)

*hugs*

Oh, very smart, getting the movie that Xander won't pay attention to! Go Spike!

He's got his priorities straight! After all, which would you rather have, a good movie or a fidgety Xander? ;)

Very funny. Got to love Machiavellian Spike

Yes. Yes, you do. I certainly do. :D

Thanks! Glad you liked.

LOL. Trust Spike to get a crappy movie just so they could make out/have sex/do hot naughty stuff to each other b/c he knows what happens when Xander gets bored.

And welcome back to the Internets!

A plan that might actually work! *gasp*

Thanks! :)

Great! I loved this one! It's really funny

Thanks!

I like imagining what happens when the movie is boring, so we're all happy here. ;)

BWAHAHA! Spike with a plan that he's actually thought through! *pets the clever vamp*

Yes, this one has a >50% chance of working, which puts it way in the lead!

Movie was Bonfire of the Vanities. Bet Xander and Spike had a great time. :) Excellent drabble.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up! *g* The boys refused to tell me.

Spike knows how to get what he wants! Awesome. =)

He knows his Xander. *g*

Who hijacked your brain in the video store?!

LOL!

that was perfect, a typical Spike-plan

[identity profile] electricalgwen.livejournal.com 2007-02-02 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Not all his plans are doomed to fail! ;)
