Size Matters

Ahem! Okay, the reason for the marmalade question. A while back I posted some pictures and promised the first person to spot a particular bird in one of the pictures (the bird was very far off) a drabble of their choice. dwyld got there first, and requested Spike/Giles and marmalade. Or maybe it was Spike, Giles and marmalade? Not sure.

Anyway, here it is. Once again, should probably say that drabbles really aren't my forte.

Setting: One of those fan-fic Buffyverse Never-neverlands (post-season 4)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Spike/Giles

Size Matters



"Fine cut," Giles insisted. "Better for the digestion."

"Bollocks! Spike sneered. "Was fine cut at that poncy public school of yours, I bet. Easier to spoon-feed."

"We were not spoon-fed. Besides, everyone knows you went to public school too, Spike."

"Did not!" Spike shot back. "Was tutored at home like a good little nancy boy. And stop changin' the subject. Thick cut, so you can curl your tongue around it and lick…"

"Eww!" Buffy covered her ears. "It's gross enough you guys are dating. Do you have to compare your p-"

Spike interrupted, smirking. "You don't like marmalade, then, Slayer?"

Silly girl. How can you doubt your skill, when you've changed my view of William's education, expanded my understanding of marmalade, and made me grin, all in the space of 100 words? *marvels* Perfectly perfect.

:) Thank you. I've toyed with the notion of Spike as a former public school boy - probably even written him as one. Then I decided he was possibly 'delicate' and had been educated by a tutor at home.

I don't know that I'll be able to look at marmalade in quite the same way ever again. *g*

Great drabble.

Thank you. :)

I've actually done worse than this with marmalade in fanfic, but I won't elaborate.

Hee!

Evil, but very funny. Trust Buffy to miss the cultural capital associated with marmalade!

An easy mistake to make. :)

Heh, like a good American girl I, too, had no idea what they were talking about :D

:) Really? I did do some research first, but I admit I'm rather relying on the fact that Buffy can be a bit dense sometimes.
