Spike felt it, almost from the start -- that need in the boy, circling, shark-like, just beneath the surface.  Bided his time, because that's what was called for -- a lesson he'd learned at the other end of the leash.  Spike could be patient, if a thing was worth it, despite what people thought.  And it had been worth it, worth every hour of forbearance, to see the boy yield, the euphoric first moment of breaking.

Xander kneels, forehead pressed to Spike's feet, whispering, heartsick, please.

A gift to them both, the anguish, the hope, this body that begs to be bound.

Sigh, that was an epic in miniature - just exquisite.

Beautiful! It's a complicated relationship, isn't it?

[baudown.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes -- there are always so many layers with them, and so many possibilities.

Ooof, "heartsick," that's the one that got me.

[baudown.livejournal.com]

I love that word. Lovesick, too.

As always so many pictures in so few words. :D

I'm glad you liked that line -- I think his history with Angelus is such a huge part of his make-up.
