Challenge: #488 Twinkle

—

Buffy’s eyes twinkled with unshed tears when she finally found him, tied up in the lair of the now vanquished ubervamp.
Nobody seemed to understand her determination to find and rescue Spike. For once, she didn’t care—and she didn’t bother to explain. They wouldn’t understand the complexity of their relationship.
As she walked closer, her breath hitched at the sight of the cuts and bruises covering almost every inch of his exposed skin.
He dismissed her at first. Then, relief and awe twinkled in his gaze when she set him free.
Their eyes met. And it felt like coming home.
