For a friend!

This is a drabble I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] enigmaticblues The idea was to write a drabble to cheer her up... but the muse had other ideas... and wrote this sad little piece instead.

A visit with a friend

Spike hesitated, he didn’t know why he was nervous—she was really the only one of the Scoobies who had treated him like something more than a monster, had treated him like a man—so he was fairly sure she wouldn’t mind him visiting.

Steeling himself he stepped slowly forward, “’lo, luv. ‘m sorry I haven’t been to see you sooner, been out of town for a bit. I brought you these.” he laid the flowers down, a beautiful spray of wildflowers that reminded him of her, free of spirit and beautiful in a natural, uncultivated way. “Miss you, pet.”

Thank you! I don't know why the muse wanted to go in that direction... but I always find it best not to argue with him!

As fickles as muses are, I find that it is best to never argue with them :-)

Exactly!!! The last time I argued with mine he left home for over a month! I was heartbroken! Now I just do whatever he wants!

Nope, don't apologize. I know how the muse works. Every time I try to write fluff, I get great, big plotty angst. Go figure. :)

Thank you! And YES we really should have been allowed to see Spike dealing with Tara's loss in some way or another!

That was sad, and so wonderful.

LoL, I feel so dumb because I hadn't realized you were talking about tara until the third time. Then my heart sank. Beautiful.
