Spike had been walking around with the stupid garish thing stuck to his jacket all day. It was certainly an attention getter which was why Spike wore it. Pride pinned to him.
Wesley knew better. The giant sized slightly misshapen gold star that stuck to Spike's shoulder brought a bright smile to both the vampire and the little girl that had made it for him after he'd saved her father. Wesley hadn't seen anything lift the vampires spirits more than that since he'd first shown up.
Not even the kiss that Wesley gave him as reward for being the hero.
