Title: To Tell Her
Author: Hieiko
Fandom: Angel the Series
Pairing: Spike/Fred
Notes: Written for the livejournal community tv100's "Self-Expression" challenge.
Summary: AtS Season 5. Spike and Fred. Spike's POV.

Spike knew, the first time he laid eyes on Fred, that he could trust her. So he went to her when he felt damnation calling for him, because she'd help him even if nobody else would.

Even when he'd become corporeal again, he still came to the lab, just to tease Fred, and see her indignant expression whenever he toyed with the equipment. But her scolding face would soon soften into a smile, enough to make him forget being nearly sucked into hell.

Oh God. He was falling in love with the science girl.

He had no idea how to tell her.
