Spike's Unlikely Return

But it's later now, much later, and Spike hasn't so much drifted out of Jet's life as embedded himself into it. And that was fine by Jet, who assumed that Spike would drift out of his life sooner rather than later. Spike had been very insistent, when he sobered up the next morning, that he wasn't interested in doing anything more than fucking. It had started in the most cliche way imaginable: with a kiss that tasted like cheap beer and a hand shoved down his pants.

As they navigated their complicated relationship, Spike's past came back to haunt him in ways he never could have imagined. The Red Dragon Crime Syndicate, once thought defeated, was rising again, and this time they had a personal vendetta against Jet. With the stakes higher than ever before, Spike knew that he couldn't abandon his partner, no matter how much he wanted to.

But as they fought to survive, Spike began to realize that their bond went far beyond mere convenience or obligation. He had grown to care for Jet in ways he never thought possible, and the thought of losing him was more than he could bear.

In the end, it was this newfound sense of purpose that drove Spike to make a choice that would change the course of his life forever. He chose to stay with Jet, to fight alongside him against the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate, and to build a future together, no matter how uncertain the road ahead might be.
