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.

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.
