WHO: Spike and Harmony.
WHAT: A reunion. Sort of.
WHEN: Evening.
WHERE: The Factory; Spike's personal area.
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: In progress.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. He was stupid. Why, oh why, did Spike always do this to himself? Always looking to impress the girl; sad thing was, he was going to be working to impress the wrong one and he knew it. He'd do this for Buffy, she'd be grateful, but when it came down to it Spike knew that she wasn't going to see all of this the same way that the Buffy he had grown close to would. She would have understood as to how difficult and headache inducing this entire thing was going to be for him. She would understand and accept that everything he was doing here and now was for her. This Buffy, on the other hand, would not. Which made Spike wonder why he even bothered in the first place. For the others? The good of the world? Puppies and Christmas? No. Fuck Christmas. He'd do it for...for, well, he wasn't quite certain yet, but he knew that he'd have to find some sort of excuse for his actions that didn't center on a certain Slayer he knew.

Except that was just it, wasn't it? No matter what he'd claim, it was all going to go back to her. He was loyal to her. Even if that meant that they'd never end up back where he wanted them to be, Spike still cared for her. That was who he was. It was what he did best.

"Fuck my life," he growled, shoving the bottle of whiskey he'd planted onto the table aside. He was sitting in the corner of the back room that he'd kept for himself, one hand gripping at the back of the spare chair behind him while his eyes gloomily set themselves on the door ahead. She'd be coming around soon. Begging for attention. Whining about how wonderful she was and about how he'd need to take her to France and - as he glanced down at the cardboard box at his feet - how he'd have to buy her more ceramic ponies. He'd wanted to smash them in the street the second that the salesperson had handed the package over to him, containing the ponies that Harmony had requested all carefully wrapped on the inside. Instead, he'd toted them back to The Factory, placed them on the floor, and had spent the past half hour drinking, glaring at the stupid box all the while as he fumed over everything that was going on.

Him. And Harmony. Together. In the same building. That was bad enough. But to actually have to pretend that he was keen on her as well? Spike reached for the bottle again and took a heavy swig. Fuck, yeah. He was going to need this.

Spike had already told the demon working at the bar up front to let Harmony into to back area as soon as she'd arrived. She'd be led to his room and then the beginnings of a very long and painful evening would very likely begin.

Harmony Bites was gonna get some amount of ratings out of this, a reunion, a touching reunion between the vampire couple of the millenium. It was gonna be beautiful, and the star of the show couldn't wait. They'd gotten to his club, and already the cameras were rolling.

"Spikey has a club, names changed to protect the patrons cause some people would kill these lovely friendly..."

She walked quickly away from a fight brewing outside the door the camera following her and not it.

"...friendly beings just for existing, just like they would to me. Harmony! Anyway we're going in now, there are fighting things like that Brad Pitt movie so like that we're not gonna talk about it, instead..."

Harmony waved wildly at a demon who looked more than a little spooked at the idea of the cameras and started scrubbing wildly at the bar, "Spike's in back, come on" he said, head down so low it almost hit the cloth he'd been scrubbing with he moved across the floor at a speed that impressed her.

"In there" he said pointing to a door and fleeing.

Harmony took a very deep breath she didn't need.

"Okay my fans, touching reunion time. All the history, all the drama, dorkzilla, the Slayer, oh yeah, a Slayer, one time we were playing dress up games and he made me... But thats not important right now, whats important is me, reuniting with my Blondie Bear knowing that finally, he's sorry for hurting me, sorry for all those nasty things he said. My Spikey loves me"

She knocked on the door adjusting her hair, camera crews ready and waiting to film the touching reunion and do profiles on Spike.

Having heard the knock at his door, Spike took another long swig from his bottle before moodily rising up and crossing over to where he'd likely find the root of all his misery. He yanked the door open, perhaps a little too roughly, and instantly found himself locked face-to-face with the vampire that he'd been dreading seeing all evening. She looked the same as ever. Nicely dressed, hair all perfect and in place. Real pretty. The only thing that had attracted Spike to her in the first place. Only being the key word in the matter.

A glimpse over her shoulder brought forth a few other figures that Spike hadn't been expecting to see. Lip curling in disgust, Spike glared directly into the faces of the crew and their stupid cameras. She'd brought her little team along. To record him. With her. Being...disgustingly cute, likely. Suppressing a growl, Spike forced his eyes back onto Harmony. A smile twisted it's way onto his face. It looked like forcing it on was hurting him. Physically.

"Harmony. Love. It's so wonderful to see you."

Arms wrapped around him, leg bent at the knee as Harmony immediatly pulled her Blondie Bear into an embrace.

"Spikey!" she squealed, more than a little over excited for this reunion and even more so that he was gonna declare his love for her to the world. He was amazing to admit to all the mistakes he'd made, all the hurt he'd caused her to endure.

"I missed youuu!" she exclaimed showering him with kisses and leaving a pretty pink trail of lipstick along his neck. She'd need to stop soon, or she'd jump him, and that way lay tacky porn tapes.

"They just want to stay for a little bit" she said, indicating the cameras "Get to know the real Spike, find out why you'd do something so lame as fall for a Slayer and what made you see the light?"

The cameraman turned the lens expectantly to Spike and waited.

Too much love. Too much love! Spike hunched over uncomfortably, looking gloomy. He forced a smile the second his session of hugs and kisses via Harmony ended and reached up to tug at the collar of his shirt. Fucking hell. Mad as they got, this one. The only satisfaction that he was getting out of all of this was knowing how easy it had been to get Harmony back where he wanted her to be. Or, by default, didn't want her to be, but had to have her so that he could help Buffy out.

"I missed you too," he started, voice sounding a bit off as he tried for a pleasant tone. It was difficult for him to manage. Repeatedly smashing his face into a frying pan would have been a more simple task for him to accomplish than to pretend being head over heels for someone like Harmony.

The camera swiveled toward him as Harmony started on and Spike suppressed the urge to lunge at the device. He wanted to toss it to the ground and stamp it to pieces. Instead, Spike opted for a blank expression. He stared the camera down. Spike really wasn't amused by this at all.

"Harmony was too much woman for me," he told the camera in a dull voice. "That's why I went skirt chasing after the Slayer. But I know better now. Harmony is going to make me into the kind of man she deserves. She's got the skill for it." He shrugged and looked away. He wanted to die. Again.

Too much woman for him, she'd always said, Better than Buffy or Dorkzilla. Thats why she'd shot him with a crossbow when he'd forgotten about her. He'd gotten worse after that, stupid Buffy, what had she got that Harmony herself didn't. Well it didn't matter now anyway. Spike loved her again and that was all that mattered

She didn't notice his tone, didn't really even consider the possibility that she was being played, that was just cruel and no one would do that.

"You heard it fans, Spike's sorry, he knows he did wrong don't you baby, and he knows he's got a whole lot of making up to do. I think it all started when Dorkzilla left him for a Chaos Demon...total insecurities right there, but I helped him through it. I was there all the way, every step of the way, and now, finally he sees it. Its just...unreal really, feels like I'm in some kind of dream"

She squealed happilly again as the camera swivelled back to Spike, Harmony attaching herself to him like some kind of limpet.

Drusilla. Her name was Drusilla. Biting his tongue, Spike looked away from the camera and scowled. He didn't look terribly pleased, but he knew that he'd later be able to blame it on the fact that he was camera shy. Harmony would believe it; the woman was daft enough to believe that he'd drop the Slayer for her, it seemed unlikely that she'd let something like his irritation get in the way of her twisted little fantasy. A fantasy that probably involved all of eternity stuck with her, a nice house, two point something or another vampire children, and a lot of pink ceramic unicorns. Spike's biggest nightmare, right there, without a doubt.

"It is a dream," Spike replied, eying the camera moodily. "A dream come true. She's forgiven me and I won't be letting that go to waste. Harmony is more than I could ever ask for and I'll be taking real good care of her from now on."

He still thought that killing her was the best option. There was nothing better than a good old stake to the heart - preferably not his own - to solve a problem as annoying as this one was.

That was all she needed to hear, Harmony showered him with kisses all over again, a little overcome, trying desperately to contain her passion for her Blondie Bear.

"Okay I um...I think thats all you guys need for today right, you can totally do a profile on him during the week. Maybe see can you get an interview with that Chaos demon or something."

She practicly pushed the crew back out into the club, pushing the door closed and turning back playing all sultry.

"That was the nicest thing you've ever done for me you know that" she told him, sliding her coat off and letting it drop to the floor as she walked toward him again. "I mean when you said that you were dumb to ever want that looser Slayer. That was just...well...I'd never have expected it from you. You're sorry you hurt me Spikey and that means so, so much to me."

She once again wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I knew I was the only one for you. I knew you were just lost and crazy. I just knew it"

Good riddance. Least he was partially rid of the annoying burden that he'd tossed up onto his shoulders. Honestly, Spike didn't need this bullshit in his life. He was supposed to be living wild and free and recklessly. That had been the plan. Spike certainly wasn't some enormous hero, he didn't have an almighty destiny to fulfill. He was just one vampire who wanted to live his life to the fullest. With beer. And sex. Lots and lots of sex. Now his plan was all screwed upside down and inside out. All because of Buffy. Why? WHY? Why did he do this to himself?

Spike tried to ease into a more comfortable position when Harmony threw her arms around him. Christ, he was going to need so much therapy after all of this was good and through. He did know a good demon for it...

"Lost and crazy, right," Spike chimed in, forcing another unbearable smile. "That'll not be happening again, love. It'll be you and me from here on out. Your Spikey is back and he's staying for good."

Slamming his head into the wall probably wasn't a good idea, was it?

Harmony was content, he'd said sorry in front of the entire world, pointed out picking the Slayer over her had been completely and utterly lame of him and now he was saying to her that he'd be here, for good. That was more than she'd ever expected.

"You're so lucky I decided to give you a second chance, cause really, I was thinking about it and I wasn't sure, all that hurt Spikey, it adds up, it eats at my soul...or would have if I had one, my heart?"

She kissed him again, a few short pecks before falling into a deep and entirely meaningful reunion kiss away from the glare of the media.

"Tell me again why you love me, and then go ahead and show me that you do!"

"You don't have much of a heart left either," he grumbled, "it's all withered and - forget it." Why would he ever bother trying to explain anything in detail to this one? It'd be a stupid thing to attempt, really. Terribly stupid indeed.

She was too perky. Cheerful. Maybe if someone found a way for her to suppress that a bit this all wouldn't be so horrible. Torture, it was, constantly being around someone who was all happy. Constantly demanding attention. She was a puppy. A poodle, to be downright specific. Spike hated poodles.

He gloomily took the annoying pecks to the face before, with much discomfort, he returned her kiss with one of his own. That done and out of the way, he pried himself from her arms and stumped back over to the corner of the room. "I love you because you're real," he said, trying to sound less bored of all of this as he really was, "you're real, you're true, and that's all a man like me needs." He nudged the box in the corner with his foot. "Here. That's for you." Stupid ponies.

"Ew"

She didn't need to know about her insides being all gross and dead. That was so a mood killer, though she wondered if that explained the veins.

Still, real and true, that was entirely her, true like some kinda lie detector, when he pulled himself away from her Harmony looked over with a pout, but that soon faded when she saw the box, and she knew, she just KNEW he'd come through for her.

She practicly ran at the box tearing it open and almost doing a dance upon seeing the entirely cute little unicorns inside.

"Oh my gosh Spike they're perfect!! They're just absolutely adoreable and you're so so proving yourself all over again. I might never have to fire another arrow at you ever again"

"Might?" Spike scowled. "How kind of you. Thank you, for offering to maybe not try and off me with another bleeding shard of wood." He rolled his eyes and flopped back into his chair, reaching for his alcohol. Christ, he really was going to need it. He really should have gotten drunk before inviting her on in. Talking to the cameras, watching her squee over her stupid unicorns. At least he'd be amused rather than downright miserable.

"What are you going to do with them then, eh? Play with them?" Drusilla liked to play with her toys. Spike really didn't know how grown women functioned with bits and pieces like those. Toys. Even Buffy had her stupid little pig and bears back in Sunnydale. Stuffed animals. Beat the ponies.
