Summary: AtS Season 5. Fred and Spike at the W&H Christmas party.

After taking just one more sip of her wine, Fred was about to sit down when a hand grasped her firmly by the elbow.

"Floor's not the most comfortable of places, pet."

It was Spike. He was sprawled on the couch just a little to her right.

"Oh! Could've sworn there was a chair right here," she said, giggling. "This Christmas party's more fun than last Halloween, isn't it?"

"Why don't you have a seat, kitten?" Spike offered.

"Thanks, Spike. That's so sweet," Fred replied, then promptly sat herself on his lap.

Spike sat stunned for a second, before he grinned. "Never stop surprising me."
