The Bird

Rated-PG

Disclaimer- Joss owns all.

A/N- I was watching season 2 and this story popped into my head. It's short and stupid.

Summary- Takes place during S2. What happens if Spike had gotten Drusilla a new bird like he promised.

       One day when it was still light out Spike woke up hungry. He rolled over toward Drusilla and wrapped his arms around her trying to go back to sleep. After a few minutes he couldn't fall back to sleep and his hunger was really beginning to bother him.

He rolled out of bed and grabbed a pair of pants to put on. He walked to the table and sat in one of the chairs. He decided he wasn't going to go out for food unless he didn't plan on making it back. He looked around the room and saw, the bird.

The crow sat in the cage tilting its head to the side looking at Spike. Spike had recently caught the bird for Drusilla after she killed the one before it from not taking proper care of it. But right now all he saw it as was a potential meal. He was really hungry and his choices were either eat the bird and get Dru another one or starve and wait till later.

He jumped up and moved toward the cage. He ripped opened the cage door and grabbed the bird around the middle to hold down its wings. He brought it up to his mouth and just as he was about to bite down something slammed against his head and he fell to the floor.

When he recovered he noticed the bird wasn't in his hands anymore. "Bloody Hell," he said as he rubbed his head. He stood up and looked to see Drusilla putting the bird back in its cage. She turned and walked toward him. "Spike, what were you doing you?" she asked beginning to sound mad.

"Well, I was hungry, pet. There was nothing else to eat," he whined.

"So you wanted to eat Feathers?" she said loudly becoming upset.

"I was going to get you new bird afterwards," he explained calmly. She turned away from him and made a little yelp noise as she walked over to the cage. She stuck her fingers in between the bars and pet the crow. "Oh Dru," he walked toward her and put his hands on her shoulders and leaned near her ear, "I'm sorry, I'm a very bad man," he kissed her cheek, "I'll never try to eat your bird again."

Dru turned around and Spike saw her eyes light up with happiness. "Promise?" she squealed.

"I promise." He pulled her to him and kissed her deeply.

"We'll go out tonight and we'll have a feast!" she told him excitedly with a smile.

"Yes we will, but now," he looked at the door to the warehouse and saw light pouring into a crack in the door, "lets go back to bed." He took her hand and led her back to the bed. Dru laughed as she fallowed him.

A/N II- I hoped you liked it. Like I said before short and stupid with maybe a little bit of funny.
