First, Happy Birthday
sufie58! Hope it's been a lovely day for you ::hugs::
I found out that it's way easier to do this meme for a pairing than a person and got a dozen plot bunnies and didn't want to stop.
Incoherent in places and totally off-the-cuff, but if Giles and Spike were ever in a relationship in Sunnydale, this is what they'd be like. Maybe...
My Giles/Spike
spend Sunday afternoons reading on the couch
... because they got drunk on Saturday night.
say they love each other more when they're drunk than when they're sober
...but they have to be really drunk to say it at all when they're fucking.
Argue less than you'd think about what music to listen to...
... but rarely find a book they both enjoy.
Know they don't have much time all things being equal...
...don't think about it much, but when they do they tend to go a little quiet.
Can spend hours getting each other worked up in their version of foreplay (insults, jeers and Giles has this incredibly irritating smile he likes to use and watch Spike splutter) and then fuck on the stairs because getting to the bed takes too long.
Don't care who's on top as long as they both have fun...
...but somehow, it's usually Giles.
Rarely touch in front of the Scoobies...
...unless they just can't help it.
Swap looks and grin for no apparent reason Xander can see.
Will sing to each other when they're really drunk but often forget the words and start to giggle.
Argue a lot but as soon as it gets physical they know they're sixty seconds away from naked and panting.
Never use the bathtub chains when they have sex...
...keep saying they will, one day... but Giles knows Spike would tickle him and he loves the way Spike wriggles and squirms too much to want him held down by more than Giles' hands around his wrists.
Have both done things in bed that would make the Scoobies gulp, blush and faint... not necessarily with each other.
Get intensely irritated with each other but can't work out why and when they give each other space they miss each other after a day. An hour.
Never mention Drusilla, Angel, Ethan or Jenny in bed. Ever.
Sometimes think about them though and when they do it can get messy or violent or hot. Or messy and violent and hot.
Dislike things about each other without wanting to change a hair on each other's head.
Spike:
writes poetry about Giles in his head and never, ever shares.
Is protective of Giles, hides it terribly badly, but thinks no-one knows.
Would only not torture someone who hurt Giles because he knows Giles wouldn't like it but wouldn't let them live on principle.
Would secretly be a little shocked if he found out that Giles gets off on knowing Spike would torture someone for him, although he'd stop him every time.
Loves being cuddled but they're going to have to find another word for it before he ever asks for it verbally.
Has never not wanted sex with Giles when Giles suggests it but sometimes pretends just to see what Giles will do.
(Giles usually shrugs agreeably and Spike jumps his bones five seconds later and misses Giles' smirk.)
Loves talking with Giles for hours and hours but it doesn't make up for all the times he never felt welcome at the Magic Box. Wishes he felt bad that Giles feels guilty about that now.
Totally gets off on Giles being dominating; loathes it when he's bossy.
Gets hard watching Giles read and knows the exact moment Giles realises he's being watched, because the book drops down to Giles' lap and it all gets NC17 rated really fast and the only time Giles ever spanked him in anger was when a page got torn...
... yeah. Of course they do that.
Giles:
Would, has, and would again, kill for Spike and never, ever forgets what he is, what he's done and that one day he might have to stake him.
Would never let anyone else kill Spike but him.
Wanted him on sight so much that he doesn't quite know how he hid it. Took months to fall in love with him but wouldn't fuck him for weeks after he realised he had.
Chained him up in the bath for many reasons not one of which had anything to do with the Initiative and Adam.
Wishes he didn't love him at least once a week but knows he can't stop.
Wishes he'd met Spike when he was younger, pictures what would have happened and shudders.
Wants Spike to bite him quite desperately.
Knows he never will.
Unless Giles begs.
Which he never will.
Can't go to sleep with Spike touching him –never could with anyone – but gets grumpy if he wakes up and he and Spike aren't snuggled up.
Would never even think the word 'snuggled' or 'cuddled'. Please.
Touches Spike more often than you'd expect, just because. Kisses him just to see Spike smile. Fucks him because he can't help it.
Has fucked Spike outside three times. Always in a cemetery. Doesn't think anyone saw them but at the time wouldn't have cared or stopped.
Is bothered by that but not enough to swear there'll never be a fourth time.
Gets hard watching Spike fight but doesn't let it distract him after that one time he did, nearly died, and Spike vanished for a week and then came back, stormed in and the only way Giles could calm him down was by going down on him, right there, until Spike stopped talking, apart from, 'God, yeah' and finished by fucking Giles against the sitting room wall, over the couch and wherever else he wanted until Giles begged for mercy.
Which he didn't get until he fucking apologised.
Took Giles three days to do that and by then they were shagged out, the stubborn gits.
