Spuffy Drabble

[xlivvielockex]

Icons tomorrow! Promise. With LJ down all weekend for me, I've got a ton of stuff to do! Like posting this drabble from whedonland. The prompts were "Are you there?", First Encounters, and Waking Up. A lot of people had the same idea I did for how to use the prompts.

Prompt: "Are you there?" and Waking up at whedonland
Characters/Pairing (if any): Buffy/Spike

She reaches across the expanse of the bed, body screaming at her. It’s starting to feel the effects of the job now. She pats the empty space, the firm mattress instead of the dent from a body that has been resting there for years. In the last bits of sleep, of a waking dream, she’s forgotten he hasn’t slept next to her, held her, for years. Not since Sunnydale. Not since he burned.

Her hand stops halfway to the phone. It always does. She never dials the number Andrew had given her, never asks the question.

“Spike? Are you there?”

Whenever I write Spuffy, it always turns out so angsty and sad. I don't know why! Thank you though!

Oh! Just... oh. So achey. And godsdamnit he better be making an appearance in s8!!

I hope so but I'm not holding my breath. Although with all this "spike?" shit in the last issue, I think he HAS to. That was like a giant giant foreshadowing.

Oh, I know! The thing is I have to go back to the beginning YAY!TRADES! cos this one month wait for what happens next is killing me! I'm so glad I've only ever really really watched/paid attention to Buffy & Angel when they were on DVDs cos I couldn'tve done it as it aired. I'd go batty.
