Xander studied the list, frowning. It was decidedly unbalanced.

In the minus column:

Uses up hot water, shampoo

Blood -- doesn't wash mugs, leaves rings, microwave FOUL

TV -- stolen cable (arrest, jail?), bogarts remote, soccer football boring!!!

Gross smells -- peroxide, nail polish, cigarettes, blood

Constant flirting (big ho)

Evil

Weirdly possessive

Annoying

Stupid British slang

Bad moods -- like a fucking toxic cloud

Bad temper -- broken furniture, holes in wall

Friends (tell them!!!???) -- Willow (wigged?) Giles (disgusted?) Buffy (stakeage?)

In the plus column:

SPIKE

Behind him, husky-voiced: "Come to bed, pet."

Xander crumpled the list into a ball.

Pretty much a no-brainer.
