ANGELS
OFFICE, MORNING:
Aston stumbled
into Angel's office, not seeing the CEO Boss anywhere so decided to take a
little look round.
He took a
close look at the paintings, the vases, the books, the furniture and decided
that everything was in much better quality in
"So are
you done judging my office or can we get down to business Mr. Collins"
Angels bored tone broke through Aston thoughts and as he turned and faced Angel
the first thought he had was 'Rude'.
"I just
wanted to have a look at the sort of environment I will be working in"
"Yes well
we'll see about the 'will' bit. Now, tell me where you've came from, what
organisation did you work in before?" Aston decided that Angel was way too
arrogant for his liking and inwardly grinned, he'd fix that.
"I have
come over from the new Wolfram and Hart Law Firm in
"I am the
CEO of this Wolfram and Hart, not them in
"We shall
see Angel. I have been assigned to basically help you out with problems, sort
out distressed clients since, I hear, you're terrible at demonic languages,
other things as well. I'm here to keep order and run the firm with you. You are
still the legal Boss of L.A Wolfram and Hart but I am merely an
associate to
you." Aston and Angel stared at each other; both incredibly angered by the
others' attitude and were only pulled apart from each other's gazes by the door
bursting open.
"Hey
Peaches Harmony said something about you wanting to see me." Spike, who
had yet to meet Aston, was giving Aston an appreciative gaze who was then doing
the same to him.
"I think
I'm gonna like this place" Aston smiled at Spike who sent one back.
Unfortunately
Angel was not blind to the looks they were giving and growled under his breath.
"I need
you to check out a demon by the name of Hyamunt'la, She's a powerful demon who
has hold of a rare book that she stole from Wolfram and Hart and I'm sending
you to retrieve it." Angel glared at Aston who was now grinning at Spike
and moving, closer to him.
"So
you're this Spike fellow, Harmony's told me about you but I thought she was
over exaggerating. Its great to finally meet you" Aston held out his hand
which was gladly taken into Spikes'
"Well
mate, I'm sure we'll get on fine and us being English we'll have a lot to talk
about." Spike released his hand, after holding it way too long for a
simple greeting.
Angel didn't miss
that either and was by now fuming.
"Spike!
Will you just go and check out that demon, I don't have time for this! It's
barely
"Now
Angel I'm sure we can just send out the 'troops' for this sort of action. I've
read that those sorts of demons are very hard to handle. They can distract the
demon while grabbing the book. Simple and effective without anyone getting hurt
and, especially, without Spike getting killed. I'm quite shocked you would send
your own childe out into battle without protection, that's not what a sire
would usually do"
Aston was
simply intoxicated by Spike. His lean form, agile body and beautiful features
had him looking like a magnificent God. His blue eyes could cut through steel
and was also sending little electrical charges to his heart making it skip
beats, if it did beat that is. His sire, the man who TURNED him, wanted to send
him out without protection to fight a lethal demon and ruin his gorgeous
features, He's not a proper sire.
Angel looked
abashed, "It's not like that, its just Spike said he needed some action
and I'd thought I'd let him get a piece of it." Angel spoke angrily,
"Well
since I am working with you I am ordering the troops to get the book. You do
your paper work and ignore Spike that's how the day usually goes by doesn't it?
I'm going to spend some time with Spike to get to know him, Bye Angel"
After Aston said his piece he sent a self-righteous grin Angel's way.
Spike didn't
seem to mind the proceedings and grinned happily.
"Good! I
could go for some good company. We'll leave Angel like everyone usually does
and I'll let you get to know everyone a bit better, Later Peaches!" With
that said, Spike and Aston both walked out of the room talking animatedly about
the mother country while Angel stood in the middle room looking distressed.
As soon as the
doors closed, Angel gave an almighty growl and trashed his office. The table
went flying across the room, all of the vases smashed, the windows were broken
where chairs were thrown through them, Harmony had a stack of papers thrown at
her and in the end it was basically, a right mess.
Angel sat at
his still standing desk chair and buzzed Harmony.
"I'm
going to need my office refurnished within 2 hours tops. I want everything
replaced and everything valuable fixed, got that?"
"Sure
thing Boss! Right away!" Harmony's bubbly voice chirped back.
Angel sat in
his desk while the room was refurnished, he couldn't hear them and he didn't
want to. He was at a loss of what to do. He had pushed Spike away because he
didn't want to hurt him and by doing that had sent him into the arms of another
man who apparently 'Puts him to Shame'. The workers came and went. 4 hours
later (
Well he was
going to try. He did love him after all.
..
PUB (BAR),
Aston and Spike
both sat laughing, drinking their Jack Daniels and reminiscing of times gone
by. They had been in the bar for over three hours after spending just over an
hour for Aston to meet the others properly. They were both by now, tipsy but
not drunk, they could both still see straight and knew what they were doing.
"That
"Yeah
well don't think about it. So what are you into?" Spike asked,
"BOYS!"
Aston yelled.
Spike sighed,
"Well I know that! I mean what do you like to do in your free time?"
"Oh
well
I sometimes do boys. Well used to but not for a while now. I watch television,
I still find it amazing that they invented that little do hicky, and I drink
alcohol, bore people with my smartness and make people anxious. People think
I'm freaky. What about you?" Aston then became increasingly interested
with Spike's lips.
"I now
swim in Wolfram and Harts pool, protected on the roof ever since Angel came
aboard. I think he knew that I liked swimming so sun proofed it. I also watch
telly and drink alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol! I sometimes-"
Spike was cut
of when Aston's lips met his in a kiss; he was so shocked he didn't move.
"-Read
books when I'm bored" Spike finished when the kiss broke then gave a nervous
laugh.
"Wow you
taste good" Aston leaned in closer to Spike again before he was held at a
distance by Spike.
"Listen
mate, I'm sorry if I led you on but I don't like you in that way. I already
love someone"
"Yeah
Angel, the one who completely ignores you and couldn't care less if you
existed. Yeah that's love for ya(!)" Aston said sarcastically.
Spike looked
annoyed, "I can't help who I love but I love Angel, yes its not going to
happen but that's the way it is. I'm not going to get together with someone I
don't love and I'm not really into one-night stands anymore. I'm sorry yeah,
I'm better go" Spike then got up from his seat and left the bar. Aston
squeezed his bottle so hard it smashed under his hands. He watched it heal
itself. Overcome with jealousy, Aston came up with a plan to make Spike his
forever. He smirked and left the pub heading towards the laboratory in Wolfram
and Hart.
