And Mondays (Spike/Xander)

Title:  And Mondays
Author:  baudown
Pairing:  Spike/Xander
Disclaimer:  Don't own them
Written for:  open_on_sunday
Prompt:  "Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck."
Word count:  100



The rent was due.  He was sixty-eight dollars short.

Willow didn't show up for coffee.  He called, worried.  "That was definite?" she asked.

Karl, the day manager, informed him that HotdogHaven no longer required his services.

They'd planned on meeting for patrol, but Buffy decided she felt like going solo.


In the basement, Spike stepped out of the bathroom, hair curling damply from the shower.  He was wearing nothing but a pair of clinging, cut-off sweatpants, smiling up at Xander, face beautiful and bright.

"There you are," Spike said.


Very occasionally, if you paid really close attention, life didn't suck.

Perfect! I should have thought of writing Spander for this quote! *kicks self* ;-)

No! Because your drabble on this prompt was great.

*blushes* Thank you.

How do you do this. It's completely redundant for me to tell you that this is just great and you are so good at doing much with little, but consider it said anyway.

"There you are." Uh-mazing.

I'm just gonna go ahead and bookmark every drabble you post, okay? Okay.

Okay! And as always, thank you so much.

This quote really jumped out at me, because I could hear Xander saying it in my head. Which I guess makes sense, since Joss says that he is Xander.

Love can make so much other stuff bearable. This was a wonderful example of that.

Yes -- just looking at someone's face and knowing that he/she is happy to see you makes all the difference. Um, particularly if that face belongs to Spike.

Thank you!
