"Shift over, Xander."

Xander twitches, mumbling into his pillow.

"Xander."

Xander grunts, lurching upright. He's blinking, eyes rolling, not really awake. "Spike," he says, like it's an alien concept.

"In the flesh."

Xander smiles, a big, silly, sappy thing that eats up his whole face, only to get lost in an expansive yawn. "You're here." He curls his fingers over Spike's waistband and yanks him onto the bed.

"Bedhog," Spike grouches as Xander sprawls over him, solid warmth and heavy limbs, snuffling against Spike's skin.

"Missed you," Xander murmurs, already drifting.

Spike closes his eyes and breathes deep, finally home.

The end.
