Rome 02: Stray Phone

Stray Phoneby Red Wolf

As Andrew let himself in, he heard an unfamiliar phone ringing. A quick rummage behind the cushions on the couch and he found the offending item and answered it.

"Andrew?"

"Angel?"

"Why are you answering Spike's phone?"

"Spike's phone?" Andrew echoed somewhat stupidly. He was still wondering why Angel was calling, the thought of getting his head around the phone belonging to Spike was still sinking in.

"Is Spike there?"

It sounded like Angel was grinding his teeth. If it got any louder, Andrew didn't think the phone he was calling from would survive the experience. "Not that I can see. Hang on a second." He looked in Buffy's room, then his own. He was a little disappointed not to find Spike waiting for him in bed. Naked. With a come hither look in his eyes. He sighed, a man could always dream.

He opened Dawn's bedroom door and was more than a little surprised to see she was not only in bed, but that she had company. Closing the door quietly, he walked through to the kitchen so he wouldn't disturb them. "Spike's here, but he's not available at the moment."

Andrew held the phone at arm's length and could still hear Angel's yelling quiet clearly. He didn't think it was possible to insert the phone in the manner that Angel was suggesting and some of those positions were not humanly possible. Perhaps vampires were more flexible, he'd have to remember to ask Giles.

When Angel's tantrum finally wound down, Andrew had a chance to reply. "I can't see any bag here, but the door was unlocked when I came in, so maybe somebody took it." Another round of very loud and inventive cursing spewed forth from the handset. "No, I am not going to disturb Spike. You can sort this out on your own. Goodbye Angel." He disconnected the call, turned the phone off and tossed in on the counter.

He may not have Spike, was he was happy that Dawn did, she needed someone in her life. Andrew smiled as he thought of the sight he found in Dawn's room, seeing Spike and Dawn wrapped around each other in sleep, they looked so cute together. Like puppies cuddling, but human and naked. Naked Spike... Andrew drifted off into a happy place. He wondered if there was an Italian version of Spike wandering about Rome with his name on him. Tattooed somewhere that only Andrew would ever see.

Picking up his keys, he headed out to pick up breakfast. Even if tortured he wouldn't have admitted it was because Roberto in the café up the street was hitting on him.

Blame the muse, it just wanted to write Andrew's perspective of this — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 15:09 AEST | #
Liked this lots. Andrew's crush on Spike is cute. :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Anne at 15.08.2004 15:10 AEST | #
The one thing I never got in this episode was Andrew going out with two girls when he spent season seven lusting after Spike and Xander. I'm sure he has lots of Spike fantasies kicking about in his fluffy little head — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 15:10 AEST | #
There were lots of problems in that episode. But yeah, Andrew going out with girls was pretty OOC. Especially, after his reunion with Spike in Damage — via LiveJournal — posted by Anne at 15.08.2004 15:11 AEST | #

Andrew was one of the three geeks who tried to kill Buffy is season six and got adopted by the Scoobies as a hostage / pet in season seven. He had a serious crush on Spike — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 15:14 AEST | #
excellent!! >:D — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 15.08.2004 15:15 AEST | #
As he grew in character and depth on the show, Andrew began to grow on me as well, especially during that last season. Very nicely done — via LiveJournal — posted by dreaming reality at 15.08.2004 15:24 AEST | #
He did with me too. He was comic relief from an otherwise dreary season was wonderful. Thanks for dropping by — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 15:25 AEST | #
That's it exactly. That and him trying to redeem himself after he realises that Jonathan was his real friend (but I always liked Jonathan... he was a nice minor recurring character) — via LiveJournal — posted by dreaming reality at 15.08.2004 15:31 AEST | #
Aww, the mental images that I formed as I read your ficlet made me smile. Loved the cuddling puppies comparison and Angel's rampaging impatience. Angel's part of the phone call was hilarious. As for Andrew, I like how nothing seems to faze him. Happy place indeed! :D — via LiveJournal — posted by Chessie at 15.08.2004 15:32 AEST | #
I think Andrew would have been more timid in a direct confrontation, but he did hold his own here. Must have been the distraction of naked Spike — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 15:40 AEST | #
Gay Andrew is kinda fun... — via fanfiction.net — posted by Pomegranate Queen at 15.08.2004 19:33 AEST | #
Now, I don't really like Spawn at all, but Andrew's "He was a little disappointed not to find Spike waiting for him in bed. Naked. With a come hither look in his eyes. He sighed, a man could always dream." was priceless — via fanfiction.net — posted by Culf at 29.08.2004 18:38 AEST | #
Come on update. Quick fast in a hurry... — via fanfiction.net — posted by jonnyg at 29.08.2004 19:13 AEST | #
Naked Spike... Andrew drifted off into a happy place. Ha ha! This is so funny and charming — via Forever Fandom — posted by Cress at 04.09.2004 18:12 AEST | #
That was good — but, then, everything I've read from you has that tendency. Weird; the bit at the beginning about Andrew answering Spike's phone is similar to something that happened to a friend of mine; he answered my guy's phone when I called, or something like that. :-)

I'm not actually all that familiar with Spike, Angel, etc., although I've heard of them. Luckily, your work's good enough for me to be able to forget to wonder who the hell these people are, lol! — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 22.11.2004 15:54 AEST | #
It's one to the best compliments that the stories make sense without being familiar with the fandom. Thanks — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 22.11.2004 15:55 AEST | #
Hey! I just discovered this from your post at open_on_sunday. Good stuff — via LiveJournal — posted by beadtific at 16.01.2006 10:16 AEST | #
Many thanks. Nice to hear you've enjoyed being led astray — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 16.01.2006 10:17 AEST | #
