Lovely story!! I like how Spike's feelings towards Xander slowly develop. What a neat way to explore Xander's unhappiness with his body by using Spike's POV.
I adore this part, it's a very in character reaction for Spike, as well as being sexy: "I'm looking," Spike said huskily. He touched the deep dimple of a navel, let his fingers delve inside before drifting up the line dividing the smooth halves of Xander's chest. His hand splayed at the sternum, thumb straying irresistably towards a dusky nipple. "Like what I see."
I love how your fic shows that Xander is attractive during a time when many fans called him fat. I love all the incarnations of Xander, and particularly when he's bulkier.
