Summary: Why does Angel hate Spike?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I think I've finally worked out why the poof hates me.
Shouldn't be thinking this when we're fighting to drink from the Cup of Eternal Torment - how the hell do you liquefy torment?
But all those weeks as a fucking ghost gave me lots of time to think. Nothing to do but think.
So yeah, I've finally worked out why the almighty Dark Avenger hates me.
He can't bloody stand looking at himself in the mirror - good thing that he doesn't have a reflection, eh?
He hates himself more than I hate brooding.
And trust me, I really, really hate brooding.
Hell, the sodding First and the soul made me brood for weeks in the bloody basement.
I'm William the Bloody, not William the Broody.
Getting a bit off track here, back to why the ponce hates me.
He hates me because I am him and I'm gonna tell him that.
Set the record straight and all.
"Cause every time you look at me."
God, my fist feels good colliding with his face.
"You see all the dirty little things I've done."
Since it felt good, might as well do it again.
"All the lives I've taken."
Time for the other cheek.
"Because of you! Drusilla sired me."
And one more time for good measure, after all, he took Dru away.
"But you.you made me a monster."
Think he'll be dazed for a bit - both from the punches and my words - I'd better get the cup.
Wait, fucking poof is trying to blame me. Me! Sprouting shit like "opening the door" and "let the real you out".
God, doesn't he get it?
Maybe he is that stupid. All the hair gel must have gotten to his tiny brain.
"You never knew the real me." I walk back to him, best to do this face to face.
"Too busy trying to see your own reflection. Praying there was someone as disgusting as you in the world, so you could stand to live with yourself."
And to find someone else to hate when the soul gets too heavy to bear.
He hates me because he hates himself.
"Take a long, hard look, hero."
Fucking hell, I'm not you, Angel! Stop hating me! Don't fucking hate me!
"I'm nothing like you."
Love me.
