This week's challenge: an unintentional confession.

Unintentional Confession – AtS – Season 5 - Post Destiny – Angel & Spike/Buffy

1. Anger Management

Angel sat, back to the door, engrossed in his phone conversation. "How are you finding Rome? Enjoying a life of leisure? Nothing of interest to tell you about here, fighting evil, as always. Thanks for your new address."

Startled by a wadded up paper ball hitting him in the head, Angel turned and yelled, "Spike, I'm busy. Get out of here!" Oh, shit! "Buffy, I guess there's something you need to know…"

Pulled the receiver from his ear; the screaming loud and sharp. Looked for Spike to explain.

Vanished, along with Buffy's address.

Anger management, he thought. Look into it.

2. Pillow Talk

Warming breezes waft into the little room, scented with hints of bitter chocolate and rich coffee. Adds a pleasantness to the two vampires cuddled up together in bed, cocooned together under the coverlet.

Spike gently nuzzles into Drusilla's neck, making soft little snuffling sounds that bring a smile to her sleeping countenance. Strong hands move softly over long limbs, stroking and soothing even in sleep.

Spicy vanilla tang from the plantation downwind causes Spike to breathe deeply in his slumber, drawing Dru closer to his chest, spooning against her, tightly. "Mmmm, Buffy," he murmers.

He couldn't walk for a week.

3. Broken Hearts

She waited until he left the crypt that night, in no mood to face the vampire whose life she had destroyed on so many levels. Buffy stood silently amidst the wreckage of Spike's home. Such a staggering amount of damage caused by a little grenade. CDs and vinyl records, books, pictures and souvenirs of an unlifetime of over 120 years – charred and smashed.

"I'm sorry, Spike," she whispered into the empty crypt. "I've brought you nothing but misery and pain, and yet - you love me. If only I could give you my heart."

Outside the crypt, Spike heard, and smiled.
