Why I Love Him
By Salustra
From Spike's journal:
What I love about him (aside from the obvious. Mind out of the gutter, this is about love, not lust.)-
The way we argue for hours, passionately, about nothing.
The way we fight together, perfectly, like we were made to be at each other's side.
The little noises of frustration he makes when I do something completely outrageous that he secretly loves.
How he lets me get closer to him than anyone else, just get in his face, for any reason. It's unbelievably intimate.
How he never bitches when I step on the furniture or slouch suggestively.
How he always looks at me when I do things to catch his attention.
How he never ignores me, no matter how mad he gets.
How he listens patiently to my ramblings, especially when I'm drunk.
How he takes it for granted I will be there, right behind his shoulder.
The way he trusts me for the ugly jobs.
The way he always rises to the bait when I try to annoy him.
The memories we share-- even when we don't want to talk about them, they're always there.
How he called me a champion.
How he looks to me for reassurance when things are tough.
How he gives me reassurance when I need it.
How he touches me sometimes for no reason at all, just to let me know he's there.
He took a stake for me to save me from Illyria.
How he opens up to me when no one else is around.
How he understand what I mean without really saying it.
What he did to Pavayne…for me.
How he came to save me from Dana.
How he gave me another car even when I dropped the first one in the drink.
The history we share….
And how he always finds a way to fight. I'm there with him. To the end.
END
