On the road again...

Continued from here.

Spike shifted slightly to try to see more of Wesley's face. "We could leave your car and take the new one, but that wouldn't make much sense. Would you feel better if I promised not to stop off at any bars on the way back to your flat?"

Wesley thought that it ought to make him feel better, knowing that Spike had set aside his own wants for what Drusilla had wanted in the same way he seemed inclined to set them aside for Wesley, but he wasn't sure if it did.

"At least it took up less space than all of her sodding dolls," Spike said, readjusting his position on the carpeted but not particularly comfortable floor.

About to apologize again for the fact that Spike was obviously far from comfortable on the floor of the car, Wesley was suddenly struck by the memory of lying in the park across from his flat after Justine had cut his throat. He brought his hand up to his neck to reassure himself, then tried to shake off the memory by continuing the conversation. "It's nice to know that you can love someone despite the occasional annoying trait."

"The 'annoying traits' are what keep things from getting dull." Spike gave up for the moment on trying to see Wesley's face and shut his eyes. "They don't bother me."

Wesley understood that on one level. "Good."

Spike wondered if the feeling was reciprocated, but he suspected that Wesley was happiest when everything was going exactly to his plan instead of appreciating the quirks of the people around him, even when they interfered. "So what do you need at the mall?" he asked, not wanting to dwell on that subject.

Wesley glanced back, but he couldn't really see Spike. "Isn't there always something? I thought that was the whole reason behind the concept of a mall."

"I never figured you for a recreational shopper," Spike said with a slight grin.
