Dirty Dishes & Community Service.
I don't own any of these characters….* yawn * oh, I can't be arsed, just read okay?
"Spike? What're you doing?"
The blonde vampire stood infront of the sink, in Giles' kitchen, soapsuds up to his elbows.
"Community service…"
He waited for a vaguely intelligent answer, Xander looked blank.
"Washing dishes, you Pillock! What does it look like?"
Spike returned to the soap-filled basin, he carefully placed a clean dish on the rack to dry. Xander looked into the greasy water,
"But why?"
" I was bored, and they were just piled up on the unit…I might as well be useful…ish."
The human nodded his approval,
"Makes a change from smart-ass remarks anyway."
Spike looked reproachful,
"When have I * ever * made a smart-arse remark?!"
"About a minute ago, y'know, the whole Community Service thing."
The soapy demon shrugged,
"Depends which way you look at it….I'm washing dishes for Giles. See? Community Service."
Xander poured himself a drink,
"Yeah, but you're a strictly no-soul vampire, so no matter which way you look at it, it was a smart-ass remark."
Spike tossed him a dishcloth,
"Here, I wash, you dry."
Giles walked into his kitchen to find Spike and Xander washing his dishes,
"What it this? Community Service?"
Spike elbowed Xander,
"See?! I * told * you!!"
Xander shrugged and handed Giles a stack of dry dishes,
"Here, Spike washes, I dry, you put away."
Willow came to ask Giles for help, she found Spike, Xander and Giles doing the dishes.
"What're you guys doing?"
She giggled as all 3 of them turned to face her and said in unison,
"Community Service!"
Xander elbowed Spike,
"I * still * think it was a smart-ass remark!"
Willow made herself a sandwich, using a plate from the cupboard. Spike blew up,
"Put that * back *!! I've just washed that!!"
All humans occupying the room burst out laughing. Spike growled,
"It's * not * funny!! When I clean dishes, I expect them to * stay * clean!!"
Giles stifled a laugh,
"Spike, we need to eat off them! They're * dishes * for God's sake!"
The grumpy vampire pouted,
"You could at least wait till they'd gathered a little dust!…… and don't blaspheme!"
Everyone was gobsmacked, had they heard him right?
"I'm a vampire, * I * can blaspheme. You're humans, you can't. S'not proper."
