I've just read a pretty bad fanfic, but it brought up an intersting question...how did Xander manage to get Spike tied to a chair every night in his basement? Did Spike just happily sit in the chair and hand him the ropes?
I can't speak for Spike, exactly, but I know there are a couple of people around here who would gladly let Xander tie them up! *cough FS Cough*
Spike jumped next to Xander on his foldout couch. Arms were folded behind his head and his legs were propped up on the table. "You're watching this? Change the channel. Passion is on soon."
Xander's eyes were beaming fire balls at Spike's legs. His burning eyes turned to the smug looking vampire. "What do you think you're doing?"
Spike raised an eyebrow. "Watching telly?"
"Get your feet off the table!" Xander yelled, shoving Spike's legs away. He looked back at the TV. The laughing audience irritated him more. "You know what, I'm done watching TV. Get up!" He literally pushed Spike away from the couch and started folding it out to a bed. He should get a real couch in the future.
"Is alright, I need my beauty sleep, too," Spike said, stretching. "A night in this trash hole sure makes a vamp all-in," he mumbled.
After Xander was done with the bed, Spike threw himself fully in the middle and pulled the blankets to cover his body.
"What? No, no, no, no, get up!" he yelled.
Spike looked at him, confused. "What?"
"You're not seriously considering sleeping in my bed."
"You're not gonna let me sleep on the floor, are you?"
"Why? Vamps are allergic to the floor?"
"No," Spike replied in ridicule. Then he pouted. "It's cold."
"Spike, you're cold." Xander glanced at his recliner chair, and without a thought, he decided, "You'll be sleeping on the chair."
"What? C'mon! It's not like I can bite you."
Xander regarded him with narrowed eyes. Sure, Spike couldn't hurt him. That didn't mean he wouldn't do something. 'Pranks' was the word that crossed his mind. Oh, no, Xander was not having any of that. He walked to his closet, searching for Anya's ropes. Feeling blood rushing to his cheeks when he found them, he remembered why they were here. Anya had promised to tie him up tonight and act all Mistress. Damn you, Giles!
Turning around and making the ropes visible to Spike, who grunted, "Oh, you're bloody kiddin' me!"
"On the chair," Xander ordered, picturing himself in a circus.
Spike looked like he wanted to protest but wisely shut his stupid mouth and sat on the chair. Xander tied him up, and mentally smirked at Spike's grumbles. At last, the roles were reversed.
Once he was finished, Xander turned off the lights. "Don't see why I have to be tied up," he heard Spike remark from behind him.
"It's just while I'm sleeping," he replied, gently.
Walking towards his bed, he heard Spike sneer from behind him, "Like I'd bite you, anyway."
Xander turned around to glare at him. "Oh, you would."
"Not bloody likely."
Turning off the lamb on the other side, Xander replied, "I'm very bitable, pal." He rested himself on the matters. "I'm moist and delicious." He closed his eyes, feeling sleep creeping on him.
He heard a scoff. "Oh, yeah, you're a nummy treat."
Pointing a defining finger at the vampire, Xander said, "And don't you forget it."
Maybe Buffy did it for him before she went home???
