A/N: I'm starting a new fic, because I have no idea what to do next with Scar Tissue. But don't worry, I'll get back to it. I'll be taking a little break, or a long one from writing. I have a lot of reading to do. Honors English sucks =(. But anyway, enough about my HW, here's a short little fic about Faye and Spike on the Bebop, ALONE. Haha.

Disclaimer: I don't own CB



Tension





Whiz, whiz, whiz - The fan in the "living room" spun to keep the Bebop as cool as possible. But all the antifreeze was gone, and it was muggy. It hadn't been this hot since Faye went to Callisto and sucked all the antifreeze from the cooling system. It was the same scene; Spike laying on the couch, trying to sleep but Faye was actually here. Jet and Ed had gone on a bounty hunt. So it was just the two tired bounty hunters, trying to lay back in the heat.



Faye was taking for the first time, a cold bath, on purpose. She lay there, lazily. Too hot to think, too hot to read a book, too hot to just relax. She sighed and submerged herself, just so that her nose was above the water. She watched the poor lighting reflect on the water around her. Faye lifted her hand out of the water. It poured out through her fingers until it dripped and made little ripples in the tub. Drip. 'The water...' Drip. 'Is...' Drip 'Warm...' Faye sighed sunk all the way down in the tub.



Spike rose from the couch, the seat was just as hot as he was. His skin was sticking to the material and made noises as he tried to part from it. He looked at all the red lines on his skin from lying down the couch for too long. Spike grimaced at the sight; it wasn't very pretty. He shuffled, hunched over, to the refrigerator, with his hands dangling effortlessly in front of him. He opened the door and scanned the fridge up and down. He looked past the only can of Guava juice to find nothing else. He took it out and stared at it. 'Guava juice... First time for everything I guess.' Spike opened the can and hesitated to drink. He pursed his lips as he drew closer to the can. Finally, taking a sip, he swallowed some bravely while leaving some in his mouth. It was like he were a child, not wanting to take medicine. 'Euh. It's warm... But its not that bad.' He chugged the rest down. And with the last mouth full of juice, he looked at the can. The expiration date was a week ago. Spike swallowed the rest, and frowned.



Faye got up from the tub, not bothering to towel off. 'I'm probably going to be dry a few minutes from now.' And yes, that's how hot it was. She slipped on her green robe and tied it loosely. She stepped out of the bathroom, leaving a trail moist footprints and water drops on the floor.



The noise of moist skin parting from the floor came from behind Spike's ears. The noise made its way to the kitchen, accompanied by the fridge door's creaking. A frown began to form at Faye's lips, as she found absolutely nothing in the fridge. She slammed the door shut in annoyance. Spike just smirked.



Faye rested her hands on her hips, "And just what is so funny, Spike?"



Spike's smirk became a smile. "Nothing, nothing at all" He was grinning now. 'Maybe I should have left her some guava juice... Nah'



Her eyebrow twitched from Spike's trademark grin. She gave up and sat down next to him.



"Excuse me, but this spot is taken."



"What? By who? Might I ask, Spike."



"Me." He grinned again and put his feet up on Faye's lap.



Faye made a face at his sweaty, callused feet on top of her favorite, her only robe in fact. She stared in disgust and finally stood up, making the feet slide off her robe, but unfortunately hitting her own feet.



"Ow!"



"Hey, it's not my fault. You're the one who wouldn't move." He defended.



Her fist curled up in frustration. He had really done it now; she was pissed, really pissed. The heat was one thing - she didn't need Spike to annoy her now.



Spike laughed as Faye turned red with anger. Faye lost it and put her weight on Spike then grabbed him by his collar. She glared furiously. Then an idea suddenly came into her mind. Her expression quickly changed from a snake about strike to well... uh a seductive snake, about to strike. Spike cocked an eyebrow at her sudden mood change. Her grip loosened and she slowly let him fall back. She was fully on top of him. Her body heat drove him mad. She stared at him, with her snake eyes. More sweat beads began to form at Spike's forehead. She smirked slightly and moved her head near Spike's ear. "Want to have a little fun, Cowboy?" Spike swallowed hard, he could see down her robe as she whispered in his ear. Spike shook his head. Damn was this hard to resist. Faye toyed with his ear, tracing circles on the edge. "Well?"



Faye felt something tightening near her lower thigh. It was Spike. Faye went back to looking Spike in his eyes. "You're like a rock" Faye held back her laughter. Spike fought the urge to blush and tried to glare as much as he could. She began to unbutton Spike's yellow shirt. "Resistance is futile, Spike" Spike lay there, helpless. Faye was a wolf and Spike was her prey.



Spike snapped out of it. And turned over, so that she was under him. Faye was caught off guard and began to wonder what he was planning. 'Is he serious???' Spike smirked slightly. He lowered himself near her neck. "Funny thing is, Faye... if you wanted this a long time ago, you would have gotten it." She cocked an eyebrow at his words. "Because now..." his voice was a low tenor. He smiled at Faye's pleasant discomfort. "It's too late!" he said in a normal joking voice and began to laugh hilariously. She glared at him then roughly pushed him off of her. Spike didn't seem to care. He just kept laughing. Faye towered over him, with her arms folded and her eyebrows titled downwards near the eyes. The laughing continued until Spike coughed and coughed and finally regained seriousness.



"Hey you know what Faye... You did have me cornered for a while, I have to admit." His voice was serious.



Faye began to smile "Oh really?"



Spike stood up too and looked her in her eyes "Do you really want to know?"



Faye realized what he was doing. 'That little...' "Yes Spike, I do." She said seriously. She grabbed him viciously and pressed him against the wall. "The thing is Spike," she pressed harder against him "Are you ready?"



Spike became short of breath. Faye laughed at his expression. "Ha! I got you back!" Spike lightened up when he realized she was just joking, too. They both continued to laugh. They poked fun at each other like playful children. The other one would make fun while the other one would glare and vise versa. The play fighting continued until the laughter subsided and it became uncomfortably silent.



"Alright, I'm gonna go lay down for a while. I'm pooped."



"Okay then. Too bad I wont be there to keep you company" Spike poked more fun.



"Yeah, you wish." She smiled. It had been fun.



She began to walk away, just then an idea popped into Spike's mind. "Uh, hey Faye"



"Yeah?" She swirled around elegantly.



"I just wanted to... uh... Gee, how do I say this" he put on the most timid and shy look as possible.



He took slow steps towards her and for some reason she didn't back away. Spike stood there, staring down at her. He lowered his head a bit, so their lips matched. He could feel her breathing, and it was getting quicker. 'Alright... now just stick to the damn plan.' Spike closed his eyes serenely and Faye moved in for the kiss as well. Suddenly, Spike moved up, kissing her forehead like a mother to a child. Faye stood there bewildered, while Spike taunted her. "Good night!" he laughed all the way down the hall while skipping.



Faye glared as she saw him merrily skip away from her. "Lunkhead!" she yelled. A smile suddenly played across her face. 'He never gives up.'



'What if... What if we didn't kid around with each other...' She shook the thought away as she closed the door to her room. 'Tch, yeah right. Me with Spike? Ha!'



Spike began to practice his Jeet Kune Do. 'I wonder what would have happened if I didn't stop her. Or if she didn't stop me... Nah I wouldn't have let that happen. Psh, I mean, with Faye? Yeah right.'







See You Space Cowboy...





A/N: How was it? Was it a little too much? I have a dirty mind. Shame, shame on me. Don't forget to review! Eh... Now I have to do homework... =( Sorry but that was my last fic before I take a break. But I'll hurry back as soon as I can and work on Scar Tissue.
