Spikes hand had been stained rainbow so much they were almost brown. The area around his mouth was coloured an assortment of colours ranging from red to purple. Littered at his feet were multiple packets of skittles.
Buffy had known for some time about his addiction but had failed to broach the subject on the account of, that it creeped her out.
It had started last June at Dawn's 17th birthday party. As Dawn had not had many friends, she only had invited the Scoobies. They had stayed up late that night watching chick-flicks and eating popcorn.
Both Xander and Spike had made many complaints on the subject of Mean Girls, and soon after Mean Girls 2. But Buffy suspected they both actually love the movie and were just trying to seem manly.
About half way through the second movie they ran out of popcorn, Willow found a bag of skittles in the pantry. She poured them into a bowl and set them on a coffee table.
Dawn jumped at the idea of more candy, she grabbed for the bowl as soon as it was set down. As the rest of the scoobies tucked into the sweet candy Dawn noticed that spike was holding back.
"Spike have you never had skittles?" She asked holding the bowl out to him.
After that, Spike's obsession began. He ate so many skittles he almost forgot to drink blood.
Buffy burst into Spike's crypt in all her blazing glory. Her eyes promised a storm. Spike attempted to hide the skittles but he failed magnificently.
"Spike this is ridiculous, you need to stop eating skittles!" Buffy yelled.
Something orange flew through the air and hit her on the head, it was a skittle.
"Taste the rainbow bitch!"
AN: Did I write an entire story just to make Spike say "Taste the rainbow bitch!"? Yes, yes I did.
