11 THINGS
SPIKE LOVES ABOUT XANDER
by
Camisha
Notes
-
The shirts. Because only Xander could find shirts god
awful enough to hide how delicious he is. But then,
Spike likes having Xander to himself.
-
The babble. Because Xander says the sweetest things
when he babbles that he would probably be too
embarrassed to say otherwise. And because when
Xander’s babbling, it’s easier for Spike to pretend
those things haven’t turned him into a not-so-big,
not-so-bad, pile of mush.
-
The moments when he can’t babble. Because nothing is
more flattering than being able to reduce your lover
to a series of barely articulate grunts and moans just
by leering or rolling your hips a bit. Or, you know,
making sure his mouth is full.
-
The bravery. Because how can someone get knocked down
as many times as Xander has and still be willing to
rush headlong into any fight? And because Xander
applies the same principle to love. After so many
relationships gone wrong, he still rushed headlong
into a relationship with Spike. And Spike intends to
be sure he never regrets it.
-
The innocence. Because how can you not want to corrupt
so much purity? And because even when Xander’s taking
it hard up the ass, covered in his own come and
swearing like a sailor while he begs for more… he’s
still the purest soul Spike’s ever seen.
-
The turn-around time. Because 19 is really a wonderful
age for boys—definitely legal but still randy as hell.
And because as annoying as Xander’s seemingly
boundless energy can be at certain times, it’s always
welcome in bed.
-
The loyalty. Because Spike admired it even when it was
toward the Scoobies and against him, but the day it
shifted to him and Xander actually defended Spike
against one of Buffy’s barbs, Spike knew he’d well and
truly fallen.
-
The eyes. And not because Xander can make him do
pretty much anything with those eyes, because that’s
just bloody annoying, though fortunately, Xander
doesn’t quite seem to realize this power. But because
Xander can’t keep what he feels out of those eyes and
lately Spike’s become addicted to what he sees
there.
-
The heat. Because lying skin to skin with Xander is
the sweetest kind of warmth Spike has ever known and
Spike wouldn’t trade it for all the Gems of Amara in
the world.
-
The humor. Because Spike has been alive long enough to
have done pretty much everything between the sheets
(or on the floor, or against the wall), but he’s never
laughed in bed (or out of it) like he does with
Xander.
-
The love. Because Spike’s never known a truly requited
love, one where the give and the take and the pleasure
and the pain are always mutual, and he suspects Xander
never has either.
