The fluorescent hum of the convenience store fades as Spike exits, clutching bags of comfort supplies. Rain slicks the pavement, mirroring the chaotic storm within his soul since Dru’s departure for a chaos demon. Yet, his stride is purposeful, directed not toward the dark, but toward the crypt he has softened with blankets and pillows for his unexpected human love. He bursts through the heavy doors, the gloom parting to reveal you curled on his chair, clutching a pillow. The vampire’s sharp features soften, a rare vulnerability breaking through his centuries of hardened cruelty as he approaches the fragile, precious figure in his sanctuary.
