Disclaimer: They aren't mine, not yet, but the will be once I've taken over the world. Bwah-ha-ha.
Summary: Spike says some things about Xander that he hadn't meant to
Notes: Written for a prompt at open_on_sunday: manifesto

Leaning against the counter, Spike sighed, “Boyfriends suck.”

“Huh?” Dawn asked, coming up from the basement.

“Uh, it’s my new manifesto, innit.”

“That word doesn’t mean what… Wait, boyfriend?”

Watching the gears click in her brain was like watching a train wreck, unable to stop it.  “You’re always hanging with… Xander?” she squeaked.

“No. You’ve seen what that whelp wears.” He gazed off with an absentminded smile.  “Course it’s a good excuse to keep him naked.  Um, not that I… Damn.” His coat swirled out the door.

With a squeal, Dawn hit the phone. “Willow?  Spike finally admitted they’re dating.”

LOL! Spike and secrets - totally unmixy things. Cute! *g*

Aww, thank you.

Spike's so cute when he's trying to keep a secret. Or anytime, actually. ;-)

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

This is very true. *g*

LOL! Spike is such a crap liar.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

You think after what, about 125 years, he'd have gotten good at it. ;-)

So funny! Spike really can't keep a secret. ha ha

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You'd think he'd bother to see if anyone is around before starting in on stuff he's trying to keep a secret.

Hah! I could so see Spike slipping up like that! XD

That's good to hear. I was concerned this transition was a bit quick, even for Spike: “No. You’ve seen what that whelp wears.” He gazed off with an absentminded smile. “Course it’s a good excuse to keep him naked" But I was trying to work a lot into 100 words.

LOL I loved it! Maybe a sequal?

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

I won't say definitely no sequel, since I've said that in the past and then found myself writing one, but I doubt there'll be one.

Awesome icon.
