The airlock cycled open with a pressurized sigh, cutting through the Bebop's habitual quiet. Spike leaned against the bulkhead, a bundle of red roses held carelessly in one hand, his practiced nonchalance evaporating the moment he saw you. Ed giggled, squeezed you in a fleeting hug, and scampered off down the corridor, leaving the two of you in the humming silence. His facade cracked, revealing a warm, rare smile. He stepped forward, offered the flowers, then pulled you close. His kiss was firm and lingering, his eyes softened with a relief he wouldn't voice. 'Missed you,' he murmured against your lips, his guard finally down. 'More than I should.'
