Chocolate


Author's note: This is silly. But by all means, read it… the "mere drugs can make you go Angelus"-line is referring to season 1 episode 17; Eternity.
Sorry for the absurdity of it all… I just had to write it. Oo


"Now wait just a second!"

Angel made fruitless attempts to grab the chocolate bar Cordelia had just snatched from his hand. She avoided him nimbly.

"You can't expect me to let you eat that!"

"Cordelia, it's great that you care so much about whether I eat fattening products or not, but since when is what I eat really your concern?"

"Since about the time I was informed mere drugs can make you go Angelus on us," she snapped back at him, shoving the bar down into her pocket, where it was conveniently squished.

Angel's eyebrows seemed to have grown together momentarily. "Excuse me?"

"Everyone knows chocolate is the ticket to Happy Land," Cordelia retorted. "And I don't like the thought of you tying me up and forcing me to watch while you rip out my insides."

The two-hundred-and-a-couple-of-more-years old vampire rolled his eyes. "Rub it in, why don't you. Hello! On redemption mission here!"

"Still, better safe than sorry," Cordelia said sensibly. Then, she reached into her pocket, took out the bar again, and opened it slowly. "No reason for me to let it be spoiled, though. I'll just add a couple of minutes to my work-out this afternoon."

"That's right," Angel muttered, as he witnessed her devouring the chocolaty goodness. "Tempt me, Cordelia… just give me a reason to cross the line."
