AN: Only a short installment, but I'm hoping to post the next little chunk later today. I couldn't wait because I wanted to show off my brand-new S/X icon. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] thenyxie for making it and to [livejournal.com profile] darcydodo for allowing me to adapt her Xander/Andrew icon.

TITLE: Cues and Balls
PAIRING: Spike/Xander
RATING: NC-17
SPOILERS: S7, set after LMPTM
SUMMARY: Xander, Spike, the Bronze
Older Parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.
Written for [livejournal.com profile] snoopygirll.


"Good one, Harris," Spike finally breaks the charged silence.

It takes Xander a moment to process Spike's remark. "Oh you mean my story about Larry? Nuh, yours was better," Xander tells him, in the same tone they used when discussing their kills after patrol.

"Oh? Is that so?" Spike asks softly.

"Yea. It's a good story. In fact, it's so good it--" Xander falls silent.

"--It should be true?" Spike finishes the sentence.

Xander nods.


Part 6

"Well, in that case…." Spike stops. Regards him. Then slips into his trademark leer. "In my story you snogged me in public so you shouldn't mind if I-"

Spike's eyes widen comically, when Xander shuts him up the only way he knows how: Without letting go of his cue stick, Xander grabs Spike by the lapels of his coat and kisses him. In public. In front of two hundred or so admittedly indifferent witnesses. On the mouth.

Lips! Cool. Masculine but soft. Inviting.

When Spike's lips part, Xander pulls back and lets go, smoothing the bunched up coat with a downward tug--nervous, not freaked. Okay, freaked too. But not overmuch. After all, nothing on earth could ever beat the intense mortification of suddenly standing in front of the whole chemistry class, butt naked. Or that unspeakable Oxnard incident.

They stare at each other.

"That took some balls," Spike finally states, a strange, almost awed look on his face, that quickly rearranges itself into a more cocky expression.

"Hey, is that a compliment? Cause it sure sounded like one," Xander babbles, feeling all hot, and hard, and goofy and yeah, hot. Banter is good. Banter is safe.

"No!" Spike scoffs, frowning. "'Sides, you left out that thing with your hands inside my pants. Not that I wanna be nitpicky or anything. Just sayin.'"

Which hands? Those hands? Xander's gaze drops to find that he's still holding on to the cue stick. He puts it on the table.

A moment later he's kissing Spike again. His hands seem to have developed a life of their own, because they are roaming underneath the folds of Spike's duster and cupping a firm ass, pulling him closer. Xander can feel Spike's dick against his thigh. It's as hard as his own. Oh god!

It's when he feels cool smooth skin underneath his fingers that he realizes that his fingers have found a way to sneak under the waistband of Spike's pants, their exploration stopped only by the edge of the pool table that's digging into Spike's behind. "Like that?" he mutters against Spike's mouth.

"Uh-huh," is the muffled reply.

This is so much fun. I love Spike being all ruffled by the kiss... and then Xander doing it again to get it right! :)

Thank you for picking out a few lines. The second half of that quote was a last minute spur of the moment addition. It's nice to see it works.
:-)
Glad you're enjoying this.

"Uh-huh" certainly is *my* muffled reply...

(Say-- *purely* theoretic, of course-- would it help if I fell to my knees and begged you for more? & ;-)

Cheers

It's helping already, because I'm not really here. I'm writing. This is just a quick break to peer at my feedback...
I'm *pretty* certain the next section will be finished in a few hours. :-)

Third unfinished part of Instincts

Guh! This suddenly went spiralling off into that happy place. Loved it, short but intense.

You think this is sudden!!! To me it feels like the two never shut up, yap yap yap. All talk. I'm so glad they're finally kissing. They needed a lot of convincing. *hides cattle prod behind back.*

Guh. This just... unh... gets me all soft and mushy feeling. You're such a tease. I'm so looking forward to the next bit.

From: [identity profile] estepheia.livejournal.com
Ooooh, I love being called a tease. *Smooch*
Also thank you for your 'one word,' that made me all soft and mushy feeling.
Next bit is in the pipeline.

You're welcome. I've responded to a few of these memes and yours was the first one that I didn't even think about. The word just came to me.

*whimper* Spike and Xander getting it on at the Bronze, in public. I'm ashamed to say that does things for me. lol

I eagerly await the next part. :)

You know, this is getting longer and longer. *grumbles* This was never meant to go on for such a long time. Oh well, it's fun to write. :-)

I'm glad you enjoy your story.
You just wait till I get them away from the public. :-)

Should have been posting my "Gah" from the begining but I'm trying desperately to get [livejournal.com profile] kitanotjames to spank me for being a bad, bad girl.

*pouts*

Oh well. Gives me something to look forward to. Just gotta find better ways to be... bad.

I'm loving this story! Props to you for having Xan make the first move. For some reason having him do so is pushing my buttons lately. He did in the story [livejournal.com profile] janedavitt did for me also.

Just like it when the underdog takes control of the reins I'm thinking.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

I guess I feel like in S7 the power has shifted. Xander is all growed up. :-)
Next chapter is almost finished. A bit schmoopier than I intended... oh well.

Don't 'ja just love it when the boys take over and insist on writing the story that THEY want.

After all, nothing on earth could ever beat the intense mortification of suddenly standing in front of the whole chemistry class, butt naked. Or that unspeakable Oxnard incident.

See--that's the trick. Xander's just gotta keep everything in perspective. ;p

LOL! Spike's just gotten the shock of his life, I think. AWESOME. He's entirely too smug, I believe. Love Xander knocking him off balance. You rock (as if there was any doubt).

More! Now!

Oh yeah, perspective is of the good. :-)
Spike really has no idea what he's gotten into. LOL.

More is on its way.

Thank you. I'm pigeonholing myself again. *sigh* But it's fun writing them. I guess I'm addicted. LOL.

I adore this story. I love the build up of intensity. I love that Xander is taking control of the situation and knocking Spike off balance by it.

Thank you, Mahaliem

I love the build up of intensity.
It's not really very linear, I build up tension and then the boys open their mouths and get into these stupid contests, and they start talking and talking, so it's a bit of a wavy curve...
*wags threatening finger at Spike and Xander*
Alas, they have a will of their own.

As for control, Spike is now trying to knock Xander off balance. Heee.
