Getting dressed! Maybe for real!

"Neither do I," Wesley said, although he thought he might have a vague memory of it. He moved over closer to Spike, looking at the options. "I like the red. But don't wear anything you hate. You wouldn't, would you?"

Spike was impressed that Wesley didn't drop anything, but, then, he reflected, he probably had a lot of practice doing that very move. "I've always liked it," he said, smiling his thanks. "Can't imagine why."

Flicking the button on the coffee machine to 'on,' Wesley set the book on a clean, seemingly dry spot of countertop and got out the bread he'd bought the other day. "Toast?"

"Yeah, why not?" Spike said, strolling closer.

Two slices of bread went into the toaster, and Wesley pushed the button down. He closed the bread wrapper and put the loaf back, then he went to the refrigerator for butter and jam. "I don't think the spell's likely to be a problem," he said.

Keeping out of the way of Wesley's preparations by sitting down at the table, Spike said, "That's good news. What's the catch?"

Wesley glanced up at Spike, silently chiding himself for being surprised. "What makes you think there's a catch?"

"Isn't there always one?" Spike asked.

"Just about," Wesley agreed. He took out two small plates and two knives, carrying them over to the table. "It's not a serious one in this case -- at least, I don't think so. Just a few spell components that we'll need, one of which might be a bit challenging to find. But I'm not too worried."

"Good." Spike fidgeted briefly with the knife Wesley had placed in front of him. "You think it'll work?" he asked seriously.

"Do I think the spell will work? That depends on whether or not Angel was telling the truth, doesn't it." Wesley brought the butter and jam to the table as well, then he realized his mistake and picked the two plates back up, returning them to the countertop next to the toaster.
