Lesson (Spike, William, Angelus)

Title:  Lesson

Author:  baudown

Characters:  Spike, William, Angelus

Disclaimer:  Don't own them

Written for:  open_on_sunday

Prompt:  Bottle

Word count:  100

Vampires can hold their liquor, none better than Spike.  A skill acquired of necessity, back in the day.

Angelus liked his drink, and someone to drink with; and William, his fallback companion.  Will was flattered, at first -- such an ignorant pup, craving Sire's attention, and acting the fool for a laugh, or a smile.  Never quite knowing when tipsy good humor would flare into whiskey-fueled rage.

Even if the prat had made you match him glass for glass, you needed your wits about you then.  A lesson learned early, the hard way.

Broken bottle in the gullet.

Good teacher, that.

I adore your drabbles! You are able to tell the whole story in 100 words.

Ouch, in so many ways.

Oh, that nasty Angelus.

Angelus' teaching certainly was effective... Great drabble. (Thanks to Sparrow2000 for the rec.)
