AN: Written in response to Week 20's Dribs, Drabs & Doggy Tales challenge - more situation-centric than my usual work. That's also why it's so short. 999 words to be exact.
Nightfall
Spike's heavy footsteps echoed through the ship as he made his exit, his hands stuffed in his pockets and his hunch in its usual place. His mind was in a hundred places and although he was not sure what his odds were of coming back alive, he never entertained the thought of staying. His thoughts were about to propel his body into numbness when he heard the click of a cocking hammer.
"Where are you going?" Faye asked, her metal barrel aimed towards the center of his head. "Why are you going?" Her face was contorted in anger as she dropped the firearm to her side. "You told me once to forget the past, because it doesn't matter. But you're the one still tied to the past, Spike!"
"Look at my eyes, Faye." He leaned just before her face, "One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other." She felt a chill run down her spine. He never spoke to her about his past and he never talked so candidly. She knew that he was not afraid of her gun; she would never shoot him. Still, she had to stop him somehow; if he left, she would probably never see him again and now, with her memory back, she realized that the Bebop was all that she had left. Now night was beginning to fall and he would slip into the darkness. She had to move.
Without memory of making the effort, she found her lips pressed against his and her arms wound around his neck for life support. She was not going to let herself live knowing that she let the one thing she had just walk out of her life. She braced herself to hold on with all her strength as she shut her eyes, scalding tears sliding down her cheeks. It was liberating to finally give herself to her emotions and to trust someone for once, but it was also terrifying.
Instead of rejecting her, Spike scooped her up into his arms and returned her affection. He pressed her body against the steel wall with his own and relished in the taste of her lips. He wondered when the last time he had kissed a woman had been and a painful memory stabbed at his chest. He let it fade into the darkness of the night as he pulled back just enough to kiss her again. Her arms squeezed tightly as he did, making her need for him to stay into a physical gesture.
His body was alive, heated by a renewed desire as the flesh craves a last meal. He thought to take her to his room, but the thought was burned away in his pyre of lust as he planted hot kisses on her exposed neck. Her fingers made quick work of his belt and within seconds his pants hit the floor. She began to open his jacket, but his hands pushed hers away as his fingers worked on the straps from her shorts, unclipping them before sliding the minimal yellow fabric down her thighs along with her skimpy stringy underwear.
She felt a rush at being exposed in the middle of the Bebop, but it was nothing compared to having Spike do it for her. She kicked off her clothes as he slipped his boxers down, revealing his manhood. She looked back into his eyes and his lips recaptured hers, his flame burning strong. He claimed her mouth again and again with messy, hot kisses as he lifted her against the wall, pulling her legs on either side of himself. She was more than ready as he entered her, their heads side by side as Spike's need translated into a pistoning motion, a matching set of grunts gaining gusto as their movements reached their crescendo.
Faye cried out and squeezed tightly with her thighs as she felt his warmth spill into her body. As Spike withdrew, his forehead stained with sweat, he tried to stand Faye against the wall, but she just slid down until her bare backside was touching the cold metal floor. Spike pulled his underwear and boxers up, buckling his pants before taking a seat next to her, panting as he lit his cigarette, casting a flickering flame into the darkness. He made a questioning noise in his throat as he felt her lean against him and he smiled, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as he leaned his head against the wall.
"Thanks." His sound came awkwardly as he spoke with the smoke between his lips. Faye smacked his chest.
"Don't thank me, I'm not a public servant performing a duty." She laughed.
He smiled again, closing his eyes. He would never have guessed this outcome, but his body felt alive and ready to do his bidding. He needed the release more than he had anticipated. They sat in silence for several moments."You're still leaving." The words came without tone as Faye realized the truth. Spike put his cigarette out as he stood.
"Yeah." She looked up at him, still naked from the waist down. She had nothing left to say as she felt the warmth she had just kindled extinguish back into the cold dread from moments prior. She got to her feet and looked him in the eye for a long moment before dropping her gaze. She had given him everything she could. He turned to walk out and, when he got to be old enough, Faye would always tell her son that he looked handsome even as he walked into the night for the final time and, while she missed him, she would be consoled, for he bore his father's looks.
"Take care, Faye." The words sounded as empty as ever to him, but he knew she would understand; she was a Gypsy, after all, and knew the ways of wandering.
"See you, Space Cowboy."
