Spike shrugged slightly, not wanting to dislodge Wesley from his grasp. "The way all the health nuts around here talk about them, couldn't've hurt. Not that they sound particularly good, even compared with boiled meat."

Kissing Wesley's temple again, Spike smiled and said, "Thanks, pet. Enough people have liked how I look that I believe them. It's only a problem when someone thinks he's too heavy for me."

"It's not as though I want to," Wesley said.
