Spuffy Drabble
Icons tomorrow! Promise. With LJ down all weekend for me, I've got a ton of stuff to do! Like posting this drabble from whedonland. The prompts were "Are you there?", First Encounters, and Waking Up. A lot of people had the same idea I did for how to use the prompts.

Prompt: "Are you there?" and Waking up at whedonland
Characters/Pairing (if any): Buffy/Spike
She reaches across the expanse of the bed, body screaming at her. It’s starting to feel the effects of the job now. She pats the empty space, the firm mattress instead of the dent from a body that has been resting there for years. In the last bits of sleep, of a waking dream, she’s forgotten he hasn’t slept next to her, held her, for years. Not since Sunnydale. Not since he burned.
Her hand stops halfway to the phone. It always does. She never dials the number Andrew had given her, never asks the question.
“Spike? Are you there?”
