Daily Drabble #2 - Game For Anything, PG-13, Buffy - Spike/Xander

First commenter on the day's drabble(ish) gets to provide pairing and prompt for the next one. You can choose from Spike/Xander, John/Rodney and Sam/Dean or choose one of them as a solo character. Give me a word, or mood, or something to think on and I'll see what I can do. I may expand the possible selection if this works and I actually get my mojo firing on all cylinders. (Nobody gets two drabbles in a row. If you get one today, you don't get to have one tomorrow, even if your comment is up first.)

The laptop's screen went blank as the hard drive wheezed to an unexpected halt.

Xander stared blankly at the now black LCD, his fingers still splayed out on the keyboard in optimum gaming formation.

It took him a moment to shift his consciousness from Norrath to Sunnydale, to his apartment, to his kitchen, to the vampire draped naked across the other end of his kitchen table, idly twirling a power lead in one black-nailed hand.

"Spi-ike!"

Spike tossed the cable to one side and leaned in closer, subtle hints of demon rippling rapidly across his pale features.

"Xan-der!"

"Dammit, what did you do that for? We've just bought a team of horses and we were gonna take the…"

The final words of Xander's sentence were muffled by Spike's hand clamping tight across his mouth.

"I've been waiting here, naked and horny, for over an hour, Xander, and every time I've asked if you're coming to bed you've said you'll just be a few more minutes, just have to check your email once more, just need to do one last thing before you log off. Well, consider yourself logged off, love, at least until you can convince me why I should let you log-" Spike paused, and blinked. "A team of horses?"

Spike had never played anything like Everquest before and the concept of Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games took some explaining, but he was a fast learner and soon had a good portion of the resident gamers quaking at the sight of his feline-featured exuberantly evil avatar.

Xander resigned himself to buying a second home PC, and to scheduling regular sex breaks into their gaming time.
