Hello! This idea got stuck in my head, so I wrote it down. Here it is! Please R / R!!!
Spoilers: For Angel season three and Buffy season six... probably other seasons too. It's two AM. I can't tell anymore.
:) lol
Enjoy! At least, I hope you do.
Valentine's Day Blues
" This sucks," Buffy proclaimed, tossing a piece of popcorn into her mouth as she walked out of the theatre.
" Yeah. It really does." Willow grimaced after taking a long swig of coke. High calorie, extra-large movie theater coke. Bad. Very bad news for her hips.
The two best friends were at the Sun Cinema, trying to bond. Sadly enough, the upcoming holiday was too great a disappointment to forget. With Willow and Tara broken up and Buffy and Spike... well, not screwing every five seconds, for one thing - no one had anyone and everyone was upset.
" Valentines' Day is a masochistic holiday, used to sell chocolates and flowers," Buffy stated, trying to be resolute, but it came out as if she were trying to reassure herself.
"Yeah," Willow replied, just as unconvincingly.
The girls' sighed.
Buffy gathered herself. " Well, I guess we're staying in tomorrow night. Hey, what say we have a little party? Screw the boys." She realized who she was talking to. " And girls," she amended quickly. Willow thought it over. She shrugged. " It'll take my mind off of Tara, and using magick. Deal. I'm in." They shook on it.
They turned the corner onto Revello Drive.
" Do you know that everyone else has dates?!? Xander and Anya, of course, but get this: Dawn has a date, too. My little sister, out-dating me! So unfair."
"But didn't Spike ask you - "
"Of course he did. But I'm trying to keep that whole thing under wraps. Although, he did want to take me to a restaurant in Los Angeles for tomorrow... and then he was going to take me to this club to dance..." she realized she was getting too dreamy-eyed. "And he always will ask me. Hell, he'd probably try to take me out for Arbor Day!" Willow snickered. " Never knew Spike loved his trees." Buffy shot back, " I think he likes them best when they're cut down and sharpened to the tips: you know, my weapon of trade?" Willow laughed.
Buffy continued. " Then again, he usually wants to stay in, if you get my drift. And there is no way in any dimension that I will go back to that bar with Spike for him to play kitten poker!"
They reached Buffys' house. " No. There is no way we are ever doing that again."
*****
"There is no way - we are ever - doing this - again!" Buffy moaned as Spike trailed kisses all over her neck. She motioned for him to quiet. " Sshh! Willow and Dawn are - " Buffy's voice rose an octave higher as Spike moved *ahem* lower. Buffy bit her lip. "Home!"
Spike straightened up slowly and stared into Buffy's defiant green eyes with his own piercing ice blue ones. He purred into her ear, " Come on, luv. Not like they don't know we've been doing this for a while now, anyway. All the noise you made the other week pretty much destroyed any chance of your Scooby Gang not knowing," he said smirking. Buffy pushed him away in disgust. "Go away." She turned to face her wall, arms crossed. Spike sighed.
"Buffy..." he hesitated, " You know I'm right. Just one more time? Think of it as a last goodbye," he said as he wrapped his arms around her. She flinched under his touch. His eyes narrowed in anger. He snorted. "So you want to play it like that, is it?" He got in close and ran his fingers through her recently-shorn hair. " Fine. But just you wait. I won't have to ask you next time. You'll come to me." He turned to the window and climbed onto the roof. With one last look at Buffy, he said softly, " I love you. Why do you fight me?" Then he was gone.
Buffy sat down, her head spinning with a thousand emotions running through her. Though she constantly denied it, she did feel something for Spike - even though she wasn't sure what that ' something ' was. She knew he thought he loved her. And who knew? Maybe he did. But she was normal. She was human, she always had been. Spike had been putting the thought that she was demon into her head, but it wasn't her, never her. Spike was evil, she reasoned. She was good. That's all there was to it. That was all. Buffy resolutely turned out the light and tried to sleep.
*****
"Um...Buffy?"
"I'm coming, Willow!"
Buffy ran the brush through her hair one last time, then looked over her outfit. Some outfit, she thought. My sushi pajamas. Big wow. She started to dash out the door, then on second thought smeared on some tinted lip gloss. Suddenly, a weird feeling hit her, the one she only got when...
That's impossible, Buffy thought. He's not here. She turned and went down the stairs.
At the bottom next to a nervous-looking Willow she met a familiar face. "Angel? What are you..." she looked at her ex-boyfriend questioningly. He smiled at her and pulled out a bouquet of white roses from behind his back. " Buffy. I wanted to see how you were, actually. Thought I might brighten your evening with flowers. I had a night off from work. No visions from Cordy." He looked at her closely. " Unless you're going somewhere in your sushi pajamas..." he grinned at her. Strangely, Buffy smiled back. Angel was different, somehow. He seemed happier.
Angel was thinking too. Buffy wasn't as bright as she had been once, even since they had met the first time since she was resurrected. She seemed dull, almost lifeless. Her smile before had seemed empty and forced, but the one she gave him now was real. The little half-smile that always had seemed just for him. But Buffy felt comfortable with him, not like how she felt with Spike. She felt safe with Angel, like Spike, and all that he represented, couldn't hurt her.
She didn't want him to leave, not now, when she finally felt the vacant lot in her heart filling.
She asked playfully, " Were you planning on joining us on our evening in? We're watching that movie, Valentine. You know, the scary one?" Willow chimed in. " Yeah. Oohh, it's the one with the guy who looks like Angel, Buffy!" Buffy smiled up at him. "Now you have to watch it with us. Okay?"
He let her lead him into the living room. " I wouldn't have it any other way..." he murmered. He praised God that Connor was safe with Fred Lorne, and Cordy at home. He liked seeing Buffy again.

Spike took a deep breath. He straightened his open-collar shirt and fiddled with the chocolate box in his hands. "Damn!" he cursed as he almost dropped the big red teddy bear he was balancing with his other arm. He dusted it off as he stood straight. He was at Buffy's front door tonight on Valentine's, not at her window. There was a black plymouth parked down in front of the house, but he just figured the neighbors' were having a little party, like they always did, and brushed it off. Okay, Spike, he thought. Just... try to show her you love her, okay?
He raised his hand to knock.
REVIEW! Please! I love them. I also need to decide who Buffy should end up with at the end of the story, which you guys can tell me and I will take them into consideration. I just want to say that Cordy and Angel? Nuh-uh. Never. I just don't want Angel with anyone except for Buffy, but seeing as that isn't likely anymore :( no. Buffy and Spike are good though, too.... :) Ok. I'm done rambling. Please review my story. I'll luv you forever.... ;)
