There was only one bed!

Giles and Spike looked over the dingy hotel room. A pipe had burst in Giles’ apartment and the two were forced out while it was being repaired. And, unfortunately for Giles, no one else wanted to take Spike for the weekend.

“Well, I’m not sleeping in the bathtub again.”

“Well I have a backache.”

“So sleep on the floor, s’posed to be good for it!”

Giles glared, and Spike relented. Giles settled in on the bed, finding it made his back pain worse.

Spike was already making himself cozy on the floor. “No take backsies!”

Excellent. Totally Spike.

[ynyseira]

Thank you so much!

[nondenomifan]

Adorable, and very true to their relationship as roomies!

[ynyseira]

Thank you!!! I love their dynamic!

[nondenomifan]

Yeah, I love any love/hate relationship in any fandom. Spike and Giles (and Tony and James) especially shone in "Tabula Rasa" while their memories were absent!

[ynyseira]

Yes, that episode definitely has some of their best banter! And the best lines in general. "And you do inspire a, um, particular feeling of familiarity and -- disappointment."

Nice! :))

[ynyseira]

Thank you!

Giles should have known better! Never stay on a dirty, nasty, old, motel mattress. Best pull up a spot of floor, as well, Watcher!

Giles would definitely be better off on the floor or even in the bathtub himself.
