So now there was Drusilla dragging them toward the back exit and considering various people they meet while muttering insults to herself and giggling. She didn't find anyone she wanted Spike to fight, so they just pushed out through the back doors and Drusilla put her arms around Spike's neck so she could lean back against the wall and be kissed. She stopped pretty much mid-make-out when someone arrived on a motorcycle, long blond hair, leather jacket and actually noticing her looking long enough to spare her an admittedly dazzling smile. Apparently he didn't much care that she was literally in the arms of another man.
"Him? Your wish, my command. Though God knows why," Spike turned and looked, raising an eyebrow. He looked awfully strong and a little off putting but he definitely smiled and looked a little too long at Dru. With a smirk, he kissed Drusilla deeply before he pulled away, a mischievous smirk on his face as he pulled away and stalked forward, heading after him with a determined look. He had never been much of a fight, hell he always got his ass kicked in school, that was just how it had always been. Until he met Dru. Until he started fighting physically with Angel every other night and having to see off the various blokes Dru dragged home. He found it made him tougher, stronger and he did fight very dirty.
"Oi, you little prick! You smiled at my Dru. That's not very nice of you, that's very rude. See, she's mine and she didn't appreciate it," Spike smirked and raised his fists, moving in to throw a punch. "I'm going to teach you some manners, mate."
So Lestat hadn't expected to be attacked, but that didn't stop him from defending himself immediately. He didn't fight back right away, but that lasted all of one second. Then he threw himself into it and he definitely knew how to fight as well. People around them were moving away, but Lestat didn't care. He only paused when he had managed to pin Spike face forward against a wall, taking the time to smile at Drusilla again.
In an outstanding show of support, Drusilla blushed and laughed and then just kissed the man currently winning a fight against her boyfriend.Loyalty had never been her best trait.
It was at that moment that Nicolas walked out of the building, headphones over his ears and cigarette in his hand, although not yet lit. And there he saw his boyfriend kiss the girlfriend of rude guy, while rude guy was being held against the wall.
"What the fuck even... Leave him alone, Lestat, I don't even want to know."
Lestat did let go, with another shove, immediately explaining how innocent he was to Nicolas in rapid French, but he only shrugged and rolled his eyes. It was Lestat, what did he expect? He pulled the blond behind himself, looking Spike over. Drusilla was absently patting Spike's head, but her attention was all on Lestat and she might be cooing.
Drusilla knew how to fight, she could have done something, even ask him nicely. But no, they were just making out over him. When he was finally free, he lashed his arm out at Lestat, trying to get him far away.
"Why do you get me to fight this sodding people if you're just going to take their bloody side," Spike snarled as he rubbed the side of his face, his skin bleeding from the rough brick he'd been forced into and his side aching from the hits it had gotten. And Lestat? Well, he had a slightly bleeding lip. That counted for something, right? With a frustrated hiss, he wanted to keep yelling at Dru but then she'd cry or get upset and he'd have a night of grovelling ahead.
He ruffled his hair and spat on the floor in disgust at Lestat, on the verge of lashing out again. Spike may have been smart but he never was that smart when it came to his pride. Same reason why he took that cigarette way back when even though he didn't smoke, he didn't like to look like he couldn't do something. Like win a fight.
"You better watch yourself! If you touch her again, I'm going to knock that smug smirk off your face. Don't think I can't, I was holding back," Spike huffed in annoyance and yanked Dru away from his line of sight, giving Nicolas a sideways look. "We're fine, piss off."
Fumbling with his pocket and pulling out his cigarette, he slipped it in his mouth and gave Lestat his best warning look.
"Right." What a twat. Nicolas looked at him a bit longer than he meant to anyway, then he turned to walk off to Lestat's bike, shrugging him off when he tried to wrap his arms around him and make nice. He knew Lestat would do what and who he wanted to do, but he'd gotten quite enough random abuse for one night. He lit his cigarette and leaned against the bike, turning his head to the side when Lestat leaned in to kiss him. Made Lestat sulk very ostentatiously, but the hell with it.
Drusilla was still in a good mood, taking Spike's hand as if nothing had happened. "I just wanted to see who'd win. He's strong." It was hot. But she got on her toes anyway to kiss the side of Spike's face softly. "You fought very well though."
Nicolas had a boyfriend. A boyfriend. He was gay and he had a boyfriend. Why the hell did that burn a hole in his stomach. He felt such hopelessness inside and he didn't even know why. Nicolas had barely been in his life, came and gone and clearly didn't take that much notice of him. Granted he'd changed but there was nothing, not even a flicker. With a sigh, he turned to Dru and bit back all of his anger at her, instead kissing her softly and letting his chin rest against her shoulder. "I wish you'd take my side more, pet. You know I love you more than any of those blokes ever will. Why isn't it ever enough?"
He didn't know why he even tried. She'd never love him like he loved her. One day he'd just have to face it and more on. "Eh, doesn't matter. As long as you don't leave me."
Nicolas leaned his head back to blow out the smoke, finally allowing Lestat to kiss his neck. Might as well. However, his mind was still dealing with something else and as he played with his lighter in his pocket it finally clicked. "William?!"
Lestat was understandably confused, but Nicolas wasn't paying any attention to him right now. He just looked over at the man who was being snuggled by his girlfriend, trying to be certain. Had to be him, didn't it? Effulgent. And he'd come to seek him out.
Spike didn't acknowledge the cry, he just suddenly looked at Dru like she was way more worth his time than Nicolas because hell, he had wanted this a minute ago but hearing that name almost made him wince. Shit, why did he want this again? Oh, right, because he was an idiot. "Dru, pet, don't respond to either of them. Pretend they're not there. We'll head in to find Angel in a sec, okay? Just ignore them."
Spike lit up his cigarette and took a deep inhale, more interested in that then even so much as owning up to being that idiot boy in the music room. Nope, no, he was not going back to that. Though it was kind of nice. To be remembered.
"Ready, William," Drusilla agreed with a smile, but it wasn't as if either of the two could hear them. She just couldn't resist the teasing. But this made her ever so curious now anyway, so while she walked away with Spike, she did question him. "Tell me all about him." She liked a good story. Not necessarily true stories, but interesting ones.
Nicolas had watched him carefully for a reaction, but now he was just the guy calling out random men's names while being kissed by his boyfriend. Luckily it was Lestat, so he could care less, especially once Nicki was finally kissing him properly.
"About him? He was someone I knew at school, is all. He was nice to me. I liked him," Crushed on him hard, turned up at the music room to hide behind the piano and listen to him play. Still kept that plectrum, still smoked, still kept on writing though it wasn't poetry now, it was music. Lyrics. He was vastly better at that, especially not he'd cut back talking like a sodding thesaurus. He supposed that after college and after the loss of his mother, he had lost a lot of his motivations to write. Dru has resparked that in him. "I was nothing back then so it doesn't matter if I liked him or not. He must have been a daft wanker to like an idiot like me."
He liked the way he was now, preferred it. Dru had picked out his hair colour and Angel had found his clothes. Between them, they made shy William into Spike, he didn't ever want to go back to what he was. He liked this life. "Let's not dwell on the past, love. Let's just go home."
