This is my first Buffy and Spike fan flic so review and give me some pointers on how I can improve. This story is set in season 7 a few days after the events of Showtime. Please read and review!
Buffy went down to the basement that was now Spike's bedroom. She often felt worried about him. Ever since she rescued him from the cave he hadn't been in the best condition. Sure he was healing well but she had often wondered what the first had done to him when he asked if this was dream.
Spike greeted her with the usual small smile. His face was still bruised pretty badly and one of his eyes was still closed shut. But other than that he was okay.
"Hi." Buffy greeted him when she reached the bottom steps and then sat herself on a wooded chair near his bed.
"Hello to you to." Spike answered.
"How are you feeling?"
"You're always asking me that. Ever since you dragged me out of that cave it has been spike how are u you? Are you hurt? Can I get you anything?"
"I'm just worried about you."
"Well as much as I appreciate that I would rather we talk about something else for once."
"Okay what do you want to talk about I'm listing."
"I do want to tell you that I have been feeling better and I do want thank you for all you have been doing for me even though you know you don't have to."
"I know but I want to and I need you to be strong if you're going to help fight the first with me."
"Buffy, I'll help you. You know I will."
Buffy smiled at that she felt like Spike was someone she could always depended on when she needed him.
"How is that eye?" Asked Buffy meaning the eye that was swollen shut.
"It's okay I just can't see anything out of it."
Buffy then moved her hand across the swollen eyelid. Spike flinched at the movement but didn't stop her from moving it up to try to look it."
"How does it look?" He asked.
"Okay, can you see me from it?"
"A bit but your face looks blurry."
At that comment Buffy let go of his eyelid. It lingered open for a second before going shut again.
"Overtime I 'm sure that eye will work again." Said Spike when Buffy's face looked worried again.
"Do have a fever." Asked Buffy.
"No, I don't have a bloody fever. In order for that to happen I would to be alive. Besides vampires can't get sick."
"You're going to hate me for saying this but one time Faith got Angel sick when she was evil. She shot him with an arrow that had poison in it. He got really sick to the point where he was dying and he did have a fever. The only cure was slayer blood so I did what I had to."
"Well the arrow must have been magical because never in my undead life have I gotten a bloody fever. But no I don't hate you for bringing Angle up it is just a reminder all always be second best."
"No, you're not Angle left and your still here. Besides it has been awhile since I've talked to him or seen him. I can always talk and see you when I need to."
"So if I'm not second best then what am I?"
"Your something I need and want in my life. But I'm not sure why I feel that way about you."
Spike smiled at that he loved to hear that the slayer needed him after what he had done to hurt her.
"I'm going to get some sleep it seems to help with the healing you can go. Or you can stay whatever you want."
"No, let me do something for you."
"But you've already done enough you rescued me from that cave when you could have left me there till I finally dusted."
"I could never do that. Otherwise you couldn't help me fight the first. What do you want? Do you want me to stay or do you want me to go?"
"I want you to stay."
"Then I will stay."
So Buffy stayed and sat on that woodened chair near where Spike slept in till he woke.
The end! I know it isn't very good but tell me what you think. More fan flics to come.
