"'You always hurt the one you love.'"

A Badge of Honour

- Spuffy

- Hellcheer

Have we forgotten the ancient texts? Spike making biscuits while Buffy feeds him in Giles' bathtub, Spike pushing a beaker off the counter just to watch it smash to the ground. Also his early s5 arc, once he's finally aware of his feelings for Buffy but doesn't know how to approach her, is just him continuously bringing her dead mice and wondering why she doesn't appreciate them. And Buffy just seems like someone who thinks of herself as a dog-person but accidentally starts feeding the stray cats in her neighborhood so they all flock to her (the stray cats being Spike and Faith obviously).
