Dedication for the wonderful ruuger who stepped in to give me the great beta, and aschicca who gave me the prompt, Spike/Angel, Spike teasing Angel about his Barry Manilow obsession.
Setting season 5
Summary Angel looks for a quiet night in to relax.


The good thing about becoming head of an evil law firm were the gadgets that came with the package. At least it would have been if Angel had known how to use the controls. But he had been able to get the state of the art music system to work at least, that was all he needed.

Angel moved over to pick up a CD and took out his copy of Barry Manilow’s greatest hits. Putting it on to random, he sat back, his eyes closing already after a long day. That was when he heard it, That voice.

“Hey peaches, whatc’a listening to?” Spike appeared out of no-where. He often did, being the resident ghost in the building. Angel tried to tune Spike out, and just listen to the music.

Spike was able to touch things if he concentrated, so he picked up the CD and started to read the title.

“Only a poof like you would listen to this rubbish. Barry freaking Manilow?” Spike threw away the CD in disgust.

“Cos it is so much worse than your 70’s punk stuff?” Angel had to retort.

“Hey they were classics. The sound of the street, the mood of the young.” Spike stood with his hands on his hips, coat swingging back behind him.

Angel looked up, annoyed at the interruption of his quiet time. “Oh and you know so much about that?”

Spike looked levelly at Angel. “What are you getting at?”

“Come on Spike,” Angel challenged. “I remember you from before you were turned. Before the image. What would you know about the sound of the streets?”

“That was a long time ago, I did get to know the people who lived in the shadows. Unlike you and your pansy lifestyle and your Sires false claims to good breeding,” Spike shot back.

Angel winced at the memories of his time as Angelus when he and Darla had courted the society parties. In a fit of rage he tried to punch Spike, only to have his arm go through the apparition with no effect.

Spike moved towards Angel, his face intent. Angel watched as Spike pushed himself into his body space. Even though Spike was a ghost, Angel could feel his body close to his. Moving in, Angel was suddenly surprised to feel a ghostly kiss on his lips.

Angel stood back, looking intently at Spike. “First thing tomorrow morning I will get all of Wolfram & Hart to work on making you a solid again. Then we can finish what you started.”

I really love ghost!Spike stories. It's funny but the inability to touch always brought them closer together. Love these boys. :)

Yes with Spike tied to LA and W&H, they had so many opportunities to reach an understanding, but seemed to pass them by. Angel just had a hang up I guess about Spike having a soul. And their past as well. They could've been so good for each other.

*hugs*
