Set after Storyteller.

The Idiot Box

He'd asked for the tape yesterday. Andrew had given it to him easily enough, even hooked everything up so that he could watch it.

Then the boy had left, knowing for once when he wasn't needed.

Spike stared at the tv, stared at his face looking back.

He looked older than he remembered, which should be impossible. Maybe that was the soul's doing.

He looked lost. Looked so very old, and yet not at all wise. Just old and foolish, as he'd once been young and foolish.

He pressed play, watched himself posture at the camera.

He couldn't recognize himself.

It's short but it hints at so much.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it, Spike was just whispering in my ear this morning. Pushy git.

Thanks. And yeah, Spike is kinda... *waves hand* with the possibilities.

*freezes in horror*

Spike is cuddle-worthy in this fic? But he isn't cuddle-worthy in my head.

Damn my ability to be objective in fic!

*giggles*

Spike and I appreciate the feedback.

He's sad 'cause he's old and doesn't recognize himself. Also, I would probably hug Spike if he'd just eaten JC. Because I'm weird like that ;)
