Notes: Written for a prompt over at Bite Sized Bits of Fic: author's choice, author's choice, getting dressed in the dark

 

Using his stealthiest commando moves so as not to wake Spike, Xander snuck off the bed. Standing naked in the darkness, he turned his head to look back over one shoulder. Yep, still fast asleep.


 

He'd tried to catalog where his clothes had flown to earlier in the evening as Spike had tossed them aside but, well, he'd been distracted. He'd found everything but his underwear before he finally gave up looking. He didn't want to take too much time.


 

He was just pulling on his Hawaiian shirt, he later thought it was the loudness of the monkeys with their bright, neon yellow bananas that had done it, when Spike flipped on the lights.


 

Xander gulped, loudly, and looked guilty. Shit, caught in the act.


 

“Going somewhere, pet? What'd you do? Forget to invite me?” Spike asked in that dead tone of voice he had when he was hurt.


 

Wait. What? “Going somewhere? Spike, I live here.”


 

Spike just glanced up and down at Xander, who was unshod but otherwise fully clothed, and then just tilted his head and waited.


 

Xander dropped his shoe. He blushed. “You usually come up with the games, the sex games I mean, and I thought I'd...” He stopped. He just couldn't get any more of it out.


 

“Leaving me isn't a game, Xander.”


 

“Leaving you? I wasn't leaving you! I was...”


 

“What?”


 

Xander took a deep breath and just let it all babble out of him. “I thought I'd get dressed and then wake you up. I'd be dressed and you wouldn't but then you could undress me and it was supposed to be sexy but now that I'm saying it out loud it just sounds stupid.” Xander hung his head.


 

“You said all that without breathing?” Spike sounded awed.


 

“Huh?” Xander asked with a confused expression as he looked back up.


 

Spike licked his lips as he looked Xander up and down. He stretched a bit, short-circuiting Xander's brain, before pulling the blanket aside. He was already hard.


 

“Think I'm liking this game,” Spike said as he rose off the bed. As he stalked across the room, he added, “Oh look, there's a human in my lair. No shoes though. He'll never be able to escape me. Whatever shall I do with him?”


 

As Spike wrapped his arms under Xander's Hawaiian shirt, Xander thought, not quite the game I had in mind. Spike brought his lips up to Xander's. Think I can work with it though.

"Aww" was the first thing I thought. What a sweet story.

Yeah, what can I say? It's just fun to be sweet with the boys.

Hee! Poor Spike, jumping to the wrong conclusions.

In Spike's defense, Xander really did look like he was getting ready to sneak out. Happily he's easily distracted by the thought of sex games. ;-)

Sweet! For such a short fic, you still managed to show both Xander and Spike's insecurities but managed to lead them to a happy conclusion.

Thank you. Insecurities are what make the characters interesting and, while I don't always go for the happy ending, I am a sucker for one.

I could definitely be converted to Spander. ;) I love their different ideas of what makes a good game.

Poor insecure Spike.

What can I say? Insecure is just fun to write.

Yeah, Spike's definitely complex.
Great icon btw.

Funny thing about this icon. I hadn't seen that season of Torchwood yet so I had no clue this was line from line from the tv show. I thought the icon maker had just come up with some clever lines. ;-)

I assume you've seen it now?
JM's delivery is perfect and I love how he played John Hart.

Have seen it. I always heard it with more of an umph or emphasis on the "very grateful" bit. Who doesn't love JM though?

Good thing Xander hadn't gotten his shoes on after all =)

Oh I don't know. He might have escaped the evil vampire that way... No, wait. Something not quite right there. ;-)

Spike was rather corny at the end there, wasn't he? They are so much fun to write.
