SUMMARY: Spike asks a hard question and gets an unexpected response.
DEDICATION: To Maggie for all of her support and encouragement, and for reading this at the last minute! You are just the best, Maggie!
So, how can I do this without gettin' staked?
I can't bloody well just march up to him and ask that question, but she wants me to.. so ask, I will. Doesn't she realize how 'ard this is for me, how 'ard it is for any bloke, but *especially* me?
Well, she thinks of Giles as her surrogate father, so it didn't surprise me that she wanted 'im to be asked. That's why I'm standin' 'ere like a bloody fool poofter, in front o' his door, waitin' for 'im to respond to my knock.
Ok, he's openin' the door... I can feel my heart speed up and it doesn't even *beat*! I'm sure I'd be sweatin' bullets if I was still human.
"Mr. Giles, I need.. to ask.. you.. a very.. important... question," I stammer out as he opens the door.
"Spike, come in and what has gotten into you, why are you being so.. polite? Are you under some kind of spell?"
"No, sir.. no spell.. I'm here.. to.... request.. your... permission... for.... Buffy's... hand..... in.. marriage," I finally get out, only to see him faint dead away.
Bloody hell, I made my future father-in-law faint, but at *least* he didn't stake me! Always gotta look at the bright side...
~~The End~~ for now at least *grin*
