Fred picked up the phone. "Hello? Oh, hi, Mama." Her accent deepened somehow, when she was talking to her parents. "No, everything's fine, just been real busy... What a thing to ask! Well, I guess I have met a guy...he's English--Oh, not Wesley, he doesn't feel that way about me. His name is Spike, and he's really sweet, and funny, and he saved my life... Yes, Mama, Spike. He works with us at Wolfram and Hart. He's a vampire, but he's got a soul, like Angel--"

"I'm nothing like Angel!" came the outraged exclamation from the next room.

Drabble for open_on_sunday LJ Community - "Ring" challenge

Title: Temptation
Fandom: Angel
Rating: PG

Written for: open_on_sunday's "Ring" challenge.
Notes: Takes place in Season 1, during "In the Dark."

The ring was beautifully beguiling, Angel thought. To walk in the sun again, to not have to worry about some overzealous enemy with a lucky crossbow... Surely the Powers wouldn't begrudge him this?

They wouldn't. But his soul would. It'll make your life too easy, it whispered. You don't deserve it.

No, he didn't. He knew Cordy and Doyle would debate that. They'd say he'd earned some time in the light, out of the shadows. They'd argue that he could help more people than ever now.

Seduction took many forms. This was just one more to resist, before his redemption.

He'd lost so much over the past seven years. Jesse, his best bud. No chance to say goodbye, only time to kill the thing his friend had become.

Cordelia. His first real girlfriend. Lost through betrayal. She'd left town...and now she was in a coma. No chance to say goodbye to her, either.

He'd just started patching things up with Anya. And she had been killed. No goodbye, take three.

And so he'd lost his mind. Catatonic, in the back of the bus, he wandered among the corridors of his soul with his fallen comrades. It was better there.
