All You Wanted-Ch 2
Disclaimer: Please sue me. I really need to get rid of my Geology 101 book. They say they got a new edition. All college students unite!!!
Anyway, I'm not Michelle Branch and I don't own "All You Wanted" or Cowboy Bebop. But go ahead…sue me… I dare you!
Hey WashuGoddess, I was thinking the same thing. I was saying to myself, let me hurry up and post this before somebody else uses this song. Great minds think alike. I love this song. Shoot, go ahead and post yours. I'd love to see another songfic like this one with Spike and Faye. It just fits them really well. Oh yeah fic readers, when Washu does post her songfic…SHE DIDN'T COPY FROM ME!!! (that should set em straight) (smile)
Well, howdy everybody else. I'm taking time away from playing Devil May Cry to write this next part. (Dang it Dante is sooo sexy!!!!) Sorry…ahem…anyway, enjoy.
All You Wanted
Ch 2 "Save"
Spike watched the vixen better known as Faye leave the room. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled. When he realized that he was sitting in the middle of the couch smiling like a little kid who'd just stole something, he frowned. Hard.
Where the hell did he get off?
He shook his head and went over to the fridge. Ever since they'd been living alone together, the bounties had worked out kinda nicely. Here's a kicker. Faye actually worked. Wow. It's like she was really pulling her…
Once again…where the hell did he get off? Why the hell did Faye just have a friggin monopoly on his thoughts most of the time? Whoa.
Jet would call in a minute. Yeah, on his off time he gave the kids some spare info about new bounties. Black dog. Hmm… living the peaceful life. That would never do for Spike… He didn't want any part of the settlement.
Yeah right.
Spike's POV
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
You have what I have to keep me hangin on
When I'd come back I'd felt empty. Julia. Sometimes just thinking about her brought tears to these old eyes. Of all the people this universe needed to get rid of . Why her? Maybe angels weren't meant to walk this land. Wasn't good enough for her.
Jet had really tried to get me back to my old self. But how do you explain to somebody that when your hearts gone, the rest of you is dead? I can still hear his sage sayings.
"Speigal, don't let a broken heart break you," he replied philosophically.
Doesn't that just sound like him? Ole Jet Black. Spreadin his vast knowledge wherever he went. True cowboy.
But I really didn't feel like takin it. I really didn't care. All that mattered was that Julia, the perfect woman, was gone.
Somebody please tell me why that made me hate Faye?
Never mind.
I'll tell you why. I hated her because it wasn't fair. Tomboyish, thieving, dishonorable, cynical, slutty Faye. She was still alive. What kind of world would want a shallow tomboy when faced with an angel?
So I hurt her. Tried to hurt her as much as I could.
No. Wait a minute… You know what else made me hate Faye…
I don't know. The fact that she always thought she had me figured out or something. She couldn't have possibly known what it was like to love somebody that was no longer there. To love someone who…
…couldn't love you? Can't think about that right now. Too deep. Faye…love…
Too much. Can't think about that right now.
So I fell back on all I had. Me. My attitude. My carelessness. All that was nonchalant, cool, easy going Spike. Yeah whatever.
Okay, okay. I really didn't hate Faye.
Shit. I can be such an ass. Why did I wanna blame Faye for Julia's death? It's like I kept myself cold to Faye because I was afraid Faye was gonna make me forget about Julia.
How in the hell could she possibly do that? Yeah I wanna know too. But…
She did.
For a split second, as I threw a chop full of noodles in her face, I forgot.
For that single moment I laughed until tears came down my face. I forgot
For that one instant she chased me around this entire ship. I forgot.
I forgot to be miserable. I forgot to be in love with a dream. I forgot to hate the live I lived. I forgot that I wasn't supposed to laugh or smile. Just smirk in a cool nonchalant way. I forgot that I wasn't supposed to feel.
I forgot.
Faye did it.
But of course I can't let the shrew know that. She believes herself to be infatuated with me. She likes the cool, smoothness that's me. It draws her. Nope, I'm not being arrogant. Although I think she likes that too.
She thinks I hate her because she's not a real woman.
Maybe I hate her cause she is.
I could never love her.
Yeah.
I'm such an ass.
I can't give her any little string to let her hang by. She can't hope.
Damn. I'm even smiling now. Of all the things to smile about…
Wulongs, food, good sleep, Julia…
I smile about Faye.
Damn.
End Spike POV
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone…
Faye silently watched Spike from the shadows of the ships hall. He could sit in a room and not be there. It was amazing. She couldn't have guessed in a million years that he was thinking about her.
He running out of reasons to hate.
He needed a cigarette.
If you want me too
I can save you…
I can take you away from here,
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted was somebody who cared
Well that's it for this chapter. It's shorter than the other one. I know, I know this is probably still a little confusing. This fic probably has one more chapter to it. I'll probably keep doing continuations with more songs under the same idea after "All you wanted" is finished. Hey thanks for those who already reviewed. There's plenty of room for more though.
RRRRREEEEVVVIIIIEEEEWWW
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I decided to name my chapters too. Ch 1 is named "Like you…"
This chapter is called "Save"
