A Man Walks Into A Bar (Spike/Xander)

Title: A Man Walks Into A Bar
Author: baudown
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Disclaimer: Don't own or profit from them
Written for: open_on_sunday
Word count: 100
Prompt: Dance

His hair is longer -- brown, not blonde -- and the coat is nowhere in sight.  Still, there's no mistaking him.  It's the way he moves: feet flying, hips rolling, head tossing.  Xander's never seen him dance before, but he's seen him fight, and it's just the same.  Graceful.  Joyful.  Primal.

Back then, Xander never let it register -- what he felt, sometimes, watching Spike.  But lying to himself is a habit long broken.

Spike's eyes are closed, lost in the music, when Xander steps into his space.

"It's you," Spike says, and he takes Xander's hand, and at last, they're dancing together.

Spike's instant understanding is lovely.

He's nothing if not emotionally intuitive.

Thanks!

Perhaps you will, if I ever manage to write more than 100 words again.

Thank you!

Spike. Dancing. Yum!

Can't blame Xander for approaching him. ;)
