Chapter 1

Willow, Buffy and Xander were driving up to L.A. they defeated the first losing two of their own in the process, Anya and Spike. Xander sat in the back seat staring out the window, and he had lost two people who had meant a lot to him. Anya everyone knew he cared for her then there was Spike. Xander had been in love with the blonde vampire for two years. He didn't let anyone know. How could he tell Spike he loved him? The blonde probably would have laughed at him. True the two had grown to be very good friends, but Spike was still Spike. He was the big bad man. Xander sighed.

"Xan you ok?" Willow asked looking at him.

"Yea." Xander said continuing to look out the window.

Two hours later they made it to the Hotel. They grabbed their bag and headed for the door. They walked in and saw Angel, Cordy and Doyle.

"Hi Angel." Willow said as they walked into the lobby.

"Willow, Buffy, Xander what are you doing here?" Angel asked walking over.

"We defeated the first. Sunny Dale is all gone. Giles went back to England, and we came here." Buffy explained.

"Where is Spike and Anya?" Cordy asked. Xander put his head down.

"They didn't make it." Willow said putting her hand on Xander's back.

"Xander I'm sorry." Doyle said.

"I just want to go to bed." Xander said and made his way up stairs.

It was a month later everyone but Buffy were sitting in the kitchen. Buffy hadn't really been around since they got there.

"Xander how are you doing?" Cordy asked. He hadn't really talked or eaten since they got there.

"I don't know." Xander answered playing with the food in front of him.

"Talk to us." Willow said putting her hand on his.

Xander sighed, they could see he was thinking of telling them.

"Ok." He started, "I am in love with Spike. I never told him, and now I will never have the chance to."

"Oh Xander." Cordy said. She and Willow went and hugged him.

"There is no way in Hell that my friend is in love with that monster!" Buffy said storming into the kitchen.

"Buffy, Spike was a good guy!" Willow said.

"No! He has always been a demon!" Buffy said.

Xander stood and walked out of the kitchen. Willow stood up and punched Buffy in the face before walking out the rest following her.

"What?" Buffy asked to herself.

Angel and Willow were sitting in his room.

"Will Xander be ok?" Angel asked.

"I think in time he will be." Willow said sadly. She still couldn't believe what Buffy had done.

Xander was in bed crying. He had cried himself to sleep every night since he had lost Spike. There was a bright light he was blinded for a few seconds. When he could see again he saw the blonde vampire that he has been dreaming about for the last month standing at the bottom of his bed.

"Spike?" Xander asked sitting up.

"Hi pet." Spike replied.

"Is it really you? Is this another dream?" Xander asked tears in his eyes.

"It's really me." Spike answered.

Xander jumped into Spike's arms. "Oh my God I thought I would never see you again." Spike held onto the boy. Xander pulled back and look Spike in the eye. "Spike I have to tell you something. If I don't know I will always regret it."

"What is it pet?" Spike asked.

"I love you Spike. I have for so long." Xander said then he kissed him long and passionate. He only pulled back when he needed to breathe. He saw Spike smiling.

"I love you to pet. Have for a long time." Spike said and kissed him again. Spike pulled back and looked at him, "You been eating?"

"No." Xander said shaking his head. "I couldn't I had no appetite."

"Well tomorrow I am going to make you a big breakfast." Spike said, "Can't have you wasting away now can we?" he winked.

"Okay." Xander said blushing.

"Now it is time for bed." Spike said pulling the boy to the bed. They both lay down and Xander wrapped him arms around Spike afraid he would disappear.
