"How the fuck did I miss the heart? You two make it look so bloody easy." Spike lay on the floor, his head hurt and the world was a little spinny right now but nothing he couldn't handle. It was a bit like when he had too much to drink and reached that point in the night when he just had to lie down and be in pain. And here he was, doing just that. He lifted a hand and covered his eyes, exhaling in frustration. "I'm fine, just pissed off. I know, I know, you don't have to tell me off, I know I fucked it up."
He knew he'd been a total idiot and if Buffy had been here, she would have kicked his arse now but hell, what was he supposed to do? Stand on the sideline uselessly? No, he couldn't do that. He wasn't that kind of person, experience or not, he had to join in.
"But I knew those girls. Didn't like 'em much but I knew them. See their mates at school every day and one of their mom's teaches at school. How could I ever look any of them in the eye if I stood there and didn't help? Had to save the girls, it's how it is." And at least he did that almost competently. Pain in his head aside, he regretted nothing.
