Title: Secret Loves
Warnings: Spike and a guitar
Disclaimers: I still own nothing! Not the songs, not the show, and I am
still broke O.O
SECRET LOVES Opening one eye, Spike scanned the room looking for any signs of his shipmates. Finally after several minutes, he confirmed to himself that no one was there. Getting up he went to his cabin, and pushed a red button that sealed the steel door behind him. The bounty hunter walked over to his bed; there he waited for a few seconds, listening for any sounds. After five minutes of pure silence, Spike dropped to the floor, and stretched his long arms under the bed. His hands brushed over the chrome floor until they came into contact with something that was not the floor. He grinned as he eased it out from his bed, and cradled it in his arms. Its smooth surface sent waves of old memories through him. Shifting its weight in his arms, his long fingers danced over the strings of the old guitar. Music of a song he had memorized long ago danced delicately in the stale air of the ship. Closing his brown eyes, he hummed along to his guitar's music. He felt as though he hadn't played in years, but his fingers still knew where to go and what cords to hit.
"Mmm, Baby took a limo to Memphis, seemed like the thing to do, Baby took a limo to Memphis, She did it Cause She Wanted tooooo, yea" Spike's voice flowed out smoothly, and rolled around the sounds of the 6 string guitar. Something didn't sound right though. Frowning a bit he stopped to tune it. After tightening the right cords and several tests later, he plucked a few cords and smiled with satisfaction and began once more to play another song. His fingers moved faster, and the song got wilder. He didn't realize that he had drawn a small crowd. Faye, Ed, and Jet sat there smiling. When Spike had finished his little performance, the three audience members clapped the approval. Spike eye's darted up to see his shipmates and friends.
"I should have known you come in when I was in the middle song. So now you know my secret love." Spike looked fondly down at the guitar in his hands. Faye smiled.
"I didn't know you knew how to play the guitar. You really good you know that." She brushed a strand of hair out of her face. "It's the one thing I can do better than looking for bounties." Spike said with a small smile.
"And you aren't very good at being a bounty hunter." Jet grinned.
"And did you get your mark?" Spike asked looking at his old friend.
" Shut up Spike. Now you don't get dinner." The older man huffed, and turned his back on the lanky, green haired man.
"I thought so, and let me guess, there is nothing for dinner to begin with." Spike's smirk grew.
"No, we still have Ed's mushrooms!" Jet replied walking away, while Spike and Faye nearly fell over backwards.
"Ooooo MUSHROOMS! Ed loves Mushrooms! Mushy, mushy, gushy, mushrooms." Ed sang as she marched out after Jet.
