Unbounded (Spike/Xander)

Title: Unbounded
Author: baudown
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Disclaimer: Don't own them
Written for:  open_on_sunday
Word count: 100
Prompt: French

Xander finds the vampire upstairs, doing his prowling routine.

"What's this?"  Spike asks.

This is his mother's snow-globe collection.  Miniature cities, mementos of all the places she's never been.

Spike shakes one, lightly.  White flakes swirl around a tiny Eiffel Tower.

"Paris, pet," he murmurs.  "Could go there, someday."

Suddenly, Xander believes it.  They could eat snails, and drink wine, and run laughing through cobblestone streets.  They could kiss on a bridge, in the light of a foreign moon.

He can have any life that he chooses.

"Someday," he says, and Spike smiles back, as if promised a glittering prize.

*g*. I think I wrote this one because I felt guilty about the last one.

And so you should feel guilty about the last one! *g*

This one was lovely and cuddly to make up for it... :)

Thanks, hon.

It is the last line that makes a drabble, isn't it? And that one makes a treat.

Here again on a rec by Sparrow2000... Loved the drabble. A dream captured in a snow globe!

Thanks again! And if you like drabbles, there are a bunch more listed on the sidebar on the right, or in my memories. No pressure though!

More is better -- I'll be checking them out when I have time!
