Disclaimer: I'm only playing, don't sue.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Season 2.
Notes: This is from a CHALLENGE from my fellow nutter Blue Zen and our friend Heliona. We were each challenged to write a fic with a particular pair of people and use as many titles from a chosen music genre as we could in 1000 words. Heliona had to do W/S with punk rock music, Blue Zen had to use Wes and Giles with her David Bowie/Queen etc CD's and I had to do a C/A fic and raid my Offspring/Rage ATM/Type O Negative etc CDs...this is what I came up with! :)
Dedication: To my fellow Nutters of the Apocalypse Stevie-Jane, Kath and Chelle and to my luvly friends Helen and Laura cuz they're my inspiration. :)

"You think Wes looks like a platypus?"
"When he has a hang over, oh yeah...smells like one too."
"Cordy, how do you know what...you know what, I don't want to know." Angel removed a blood bag from the fridge.
"I think I finally figured you out." Cordelia continued.
"Figured me out?"
"Yeah, what it is that drives you. It's simple,
"So," he cleared his throat. "What's this really about?"
"Truth?

"So,
"I thought I had a job. Or are we fired again?"
"No!...I...I think I'll go get the paper."
"Yeah, in that sun, you could become a lovely fireball. Sorry Angel,
"I knew that...trust me."
"
Angel winced. He had hoped she would let it drop...well, prayed actually. He had known it would happen, he was just surprised she'd acted as if everything was fine until now. He only wished he could have told her...she shouldn't have found out the way she did...not from the bitches mouth.

"You did lie."
"Cordy, just...stay calm."
"Yeah,
"I'd only just got you back, I didn't want you to
"Yeah, and yet

"Hello,
"Look, my point is,
"Then you should have thought about that before you slept with your skanky ho of a sire."
"I'm sorry, Cordelia, I can't tell you how sorry I am."

"So,
"Okay." He smiled, "So...I can consider you my
"Geez, Angel, get with it.
"So we're together?"

"Who's who?"
Cordelia wagged her eyebrows at him, "Wouldn't you like to know. Now
