Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

For Merrie

"Shut up, Spike!" Cordelia yelled at the bleached-blonde vampire. He sneered and continued singing, even louder than before.

"Come on, man," Gunn interjected. "The first time, it was funny; the second--okay, the fifth time you sang it, it was still funny. The fiftieth...well, it's gotten old."

Spike continued singing.

Fred giggled hysterically.

Wesley turned up the volume of his CD player. Thank God for headphones.

Cordelia, Gunn, and Wesley breathed sighs of relief as the singing suddenly stopped. Spike glared at Angel and tried to continue singing around the cookie stuffed in his mouth.

Fred giggled even harder as crumbs sprayed from Spike's mouth.

"Okay, I am so not cleaning that up," Cordelia muttered.

Spike swallowed what was left of the cookie. "What's the big idea, Scrooge? Didn't you like my singing?"

Angel just shook his head in disgust before heading to their room.

Spiked followed and watched as his lover collapsed on their bed. He studied the weary lines on the angelic face that he loved. It had been a trying year. Darla. Glory. Buffy. It's a wonder we 'aven't gone crazy...er He flopped down beside Angel with a sigh. Sneaking a peak, Spike noticed that he had garnered no reaction from his mate. He sighed again, dramatically. Still no reaction. The his lips quirked as an idea came to him.

Oof!

Spike's words turned into a grunt as he fell to the floor. He picked himself up indignantly, glaring at Angel's smirking face. "Stupid git," he muttered angrily, lying down again. He turned on his side, facing away from his lover. He stiffened as a silk-covered arm pulled him back into a hard body.

"Come on, Wil,"" Angel whispered into Spike's ear, "you know it was funny."

Spike tried to pull away, but Angel's arm kept him in place. "Was not."

"Was too."

"Was not."

"Was too!"

"S'not!"

"S'too!"

"Oh, wonderful. Now we're gonna run to the kitchen like a couple of kittens," Spike muttered angrily.

"What?"

"Nothin'." He relaxed as Angel's large hand stroked his stomach rhythmically. "Still not forgivin' you," he purred.

"Okay," They cuddled silently for a few minutes. "Wil?"

"Yeah, pet?"

"Sing to me?"

Spike thought about singing another of his crazy ditties, but decided against it. His pale hand covered Angel's as he began to sing.

As his voice faded, Spike smiled slightly. Hmm...this is nice.

"Love you, Wil."

"Love you, too."

"Merry Christmas."

" Merry Christmas."
