Written for: challenge100's "Shadows" challenge.
Notes: Fred's POV, before "Destiny." Part of my Spike/Fred series.

He stands spectrally in the shadows, watching everything that happens. He thinks he's hiding from me, as well...but I'm really the one hiding from him. He doesn't know that every time I look at him, my heart does this scary flip-flop, and my lungs have a hard time working. He doesn't know that his smile lights up the lab for me like no one else's does.

But it wouldn't do for him to know how I feel. He'd probably just laugh at me. Or, worse, give me a pitying look.

So, I stand in the shadows, too. Watching him.
