Drabble for [livejournal.com profile] wordoftheday100 LJ Community

Title: Practice Makes Perfect
Fandom: Angel
Rating: G
Words: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, they're Whedon's. *sob*
Written for: [livejournal.com profile] wordoftheday100's "Comely" and "Braggadocio" challenge
Notes: Another in my Spike/Fred series.


They sat in the cafeteria, Spike with a mug of pig and otter blood, Fred with a humongous taco salad. Spike watched her dreamily as she nattered on about string theory and how it related to alternate dimensions, wondering how the hell she ate so much and still managed to stay such a rail-thin, comely bird. Practice, he supposed. Or an unbelievable metabolism.

For her part, Fred's mouth was on autopilot, while she wondered how Spike hid such a tender interior under a veneer of braggadocio and snark--how he camouflaged the poet under the pop-culture junkie. Practice, she supposed.
