A Book Lover's Love
Angel, Wes/Spike, Spike must help Wes with research - Wes is surprised that Spike enjoys reading
Wes expects Spike to moan and mumble and mutter and curse, instead, Spike slides silently to the bookcase, settles his hand on the curve of a spine, and plops onto the floor. It takes a moment for Wes to reason out that Spike isn't playing a game with him, where he'll pounce and start kissing - that he's not pretending to enjoy himself, that he really is doing what Wes sees, what he was asked. Wes finds himself falling a little bit more in love.
