Heliotropism
by flaming muse

Spike seeks out the sun. Whenever Wesley visits Spike's office, the vampire is bathed in sunlight. He might be angry or absorbed in work, but as the sun moves so does he.

Angel, in contrast, keeps his curtains closed. When Fred opens them one glorious morning, Angel runs the meeting with his back to the windows. Darkness returns before Wesley reaches the hallway.

Alone at night, Wesley reflects upon one souled vampire who feels he doesn't deserve the light and the other who basks in it as though hoping some of its brightness might cling to him in the dark.
