AU buffy spike season 6 after dead things before as you were
Summary: Buffy needs saving when Riley returns with his merry men to capture the slayer. And Guess who has to save her.
Buffy walked quietly lost in thought through the fourth cemetery of the night. The decrease in demonic activity weighed on her mind but not nearly as much as her arch-enemy, who she knew was following along on her patrols but staying far away enough that he thought she hadn't noticed. The bleach must getting to his brain if he thinks I haven't noticed that he's been following me since I got back In truth though she knew she didn't mind that he came along, she just wished he be up front about it. Just like a demon to sneak around in the dark and hide when you look their way.
As she continued through the deserted rows of graves Buffy groaned inwardly thinking about all the things shed have to do the next day before going to work at the Double meat. arghhh, why can't the world just acknowledge 'slayer' as a profession? They could even file it under 'She who saves our asses every six months' Buffy thought bitterly. She was so lost in thought that she failed to see the freshly dug grave and walked right into it landing face first in the mud. "Great, it's not like I didn't have enough to do; now I have to add laundry to my list of things to do after saving the world?!" Buffy exclaimed as she pushed herself up out of the mud to lean back onto one of the walls of the grave.
"All right down there luv?" said the telltale voice of her own personal vampire stalker. "You should be more careful, something nasty could'a gotten a taste of you while you were off in dream land." Spike towered over her on the edge of the grave a moment before gracefully landing at her feet. "Luv?" he asked again. "Luv, you in there?" he said while waving a hand in front of her eyes.
Too tired to play his games Buffy just smiled at his frightened face and reached out to him, a signal Spike was starting to understand. Spike pulled Buffy into his lap and wrapped his coat around her. When Buffy started to laugh he looked at her in confusion and said "you'll catch cold luv, need to keep my slayer healthy if I want to be getting my arse properly kicked." "No, Spike, it's just you know, you follow me around all night, and I don't mind, but it's just funny to think of the Big Bad helping the slayer out when she falls face first in the mud." Spike grumbled and stood up, pulling Buffy up along with him.
Suddenly serious Spike took her chin in his hand and said, "Can't lose you again, wouldn't be able to live with m'self. And the 'bit, what would I tell her when I failed to save you the second time around?" Buffy just held him tighter and tucked her head under his chin. "Spike, I'll be ok. The last time wasn't your fault, you know that. Nobody blames you but yourself. As for me, I'm right here, right here with you." Spike sighed at that and kissed her hair. "But for how long, luv? How long will you be with me? Have you even told Dawn about us yet?"
At this Buffy backed up and her posture turn rigid. Why does he always have to push. Stupid vampire, things were going good. "Not now spike, I just can't deal with that yet." Spike silently turned around and climbed out of the grave reaching back to pull Buffy out. "Go home to niblit, luv. She misses you. You know where to find me when you're ready." With that Spike kissed her cheek and walked off in the direction of his crypt. He's just gonna follow me home anyway, Don't know why he pretends like he's not Buffy thought as she watched him walk away. Watched him leave her like all the rest. Spike won't leave you, she told herself. He's the one you can't get rid of Buffy thought with a smirk.
With that she took off towards home and a big bed with her name on it till morning.

"Did you see that sir? She was just talking to hostile 17."
"Yea I see" Riley said as he seethed in fury. I leave that bitch and she runs right to him, to that worthless demon. Well, I'll show her what we do with demon lovers in the initiative.
"Should we follow sir? …Sir?"
"No, I think I've I mean we've seen enough for one night. Pack up and head out."
"Yesir"
I'm gonna show that bitch once and for all Riley said as he left his men to clean up all traces of their stake out.
