Buffy was walking through the streets of sunnydale on patrol. It was about 11 pm so the streets were quite except for a few part goers the people of sunnydale normally kept inside during the night because of the rummers that fly around sunnydale about evil beings and strange deaths. Of course none of them knew that they was on a hell mouth that drew in vampires and other evils from around the world. Buffy sighed she was so bored she had only saw two vampires tonight and she has quickly slayed both of them. She walked down a small alley that normally was a hot spot of the dark and annoying. There stood in the middle of the alley the very famillar blonde haired vampire "Hey love fancy seeing you hear" He smirked his Spike smirk and walked over to her. Without her permetion her eyes ran over his body and his leather coat blowing in the wind. She shook her head and forced her eyes back to his handsome face "What are you doing hanging around in the dark at this time of night Spike?" She asked him trying to keep her voice steady. He grinned as he stopped in front of her "I am just waiting for you pet. I know you can't keep away from me" He smirked again at her. Buffy sighed and started to back away from him "I can't do this anymore" She mumbled and then turned to walk away. Spike grabbed her arm and turned her around "I have a soul now that changes things" He told her. She smiled and nodded "It does but last night was a wonderful mistake but it can't happen again it just can't" She told him trying to sound strong but he could hear that she was trying to convince herself more of that fact then him. "I dont belive you" He said placing his hand on her cheek and she closed her eyes and leaned into his hand "Stop please" She said opening her eyes and trying to look like she means what she is saying "We both know we wont work we have proved that and you have only had your soul for about a month. Also last week you was crazy in the basement guy" Spike wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him "I know what i want and that is you. You can trust me and you depend on me love" He told her showing his soft side. Buffy smiled at him and nodded slightly "I know but i need to be strong and i need you to be strong as we ignore what we feel for eachother" She mumbled biting her lip and then learned up and kisses him softly.
Just then a vampire walked into the alley with a young woman that he was planning to make his late night dinner. Buffy and Spike broke apart as they both sensed the vampire. The vampire grinned at Buffy then looked at Spike "Well it seems we can dine together" He said knowing that Spike was a vampire by his scent. Buffy took a few steps forward and laughed "Didn't someone ever tell you it isn't nice to interupt?" She asked as she dropped into her ready to fight pose. The vampire laughed and grabbed his victim's arm "Well who are you?" He asked looking at Buffy as Spike walked forward and stood next to her "She is what vampire's have nightmares about and i am who you should be scared of" The vampire laughed loudly and stepped forward letting go of the girl "I guess it is your lucky night" The girl ran off down the alley as fast as she could. Buffy grinned widely looking at the vampire standing in front of them "Well you are not lucky at all" Spike shifted into game face and moved forward. The vampire came running at them aiming for Buffy as he got to them she punched him in the face and sent him flying backwards. It took all of two minutes for Buffy to stake the vampire. "Wow that was actually fun" She beamed to herself and then turned to face Spike who was standing a few feet back from her "You do know that is very impressive when you do that but it is also very very scary" BUffy burst out laughing and flipped her hair back "Well it would be as you are a vampire" She told him and took of down the alley and on with her patrol.
Buffy smiled as she felt that Spike was following her in the darkness "I thought that you was over your stalking" She said quietly but still loud enough for him to hear. There was a chuckle out of the darkness then she felt arms wrap around her waist "I am helping love. It is what i do" He whispered in her ear in a way that made her eyes roll back in her head and her lick her lips. Spike could hear that her heart rate had speeded up "Mmmm that sounds good pet" Buffy grabbed his hands and pulled them off her. She quickly turned to face him "Please don't make this hard. We can work together but that is it like i have said before" She turned around and headed for the cemertry. "Fine but slayer i am telling you now that you are lying and you want me the way i want you" She sighed and turned to face him once more "What if i do? What if i admit to you that i want you like i have never wanted anymore ever? What if i admit to you that i love you more than i thought possible? What would that change huh? Nothing because no one wants to see us together and all we seem to be able to do is hurt eachother . I don't want that" She said as her eyes filled up with tears. She took a deep breath and held the tears in. Spike slowly walked over to her "I know you are scared but it will be better this time and we both know we are ment to be. Anyway Niblet wants to see us together and even though i hate them with a passion your friends want to see you happy and i think that you will be happy with me" Buffy smiled slightly and placed a hand on his chest "I know they do but i know they wont be best pleased" They stood there for a few moments just staring at eachother in the eyes "I love you Buffy" He whispered to her "I know" Was all she said but they both could tell that she wanted to say more. "We better get back to patrol" She told him and he nodded. "Yes there are always the evil things that go bump in the night to kill" Spike smiled that smile that he saved specialy for Buffy. He hated to seem weak and human in front of anyone else but he couldn't help it when around Buffy as she could see straight through all the lies and all the fronts that he put up around other people. She saw the man he was inside and she loved him all of him monster and all.
