AUTHOR'S NOTE: Post Blood Ties. Spike/Buffy. Lyrics from Celine Dion's All The Way cd.
Buffy practically skipped into the Magic Shop that day. She had aced the majorly huge, incredibly difficult exam that she had studied hours for, and also Dawn seemed to be dealing better.
She smiled affectionately when she saw Giles pretending to not hear the sex argument Anya and Xander were in engaged in. He was not pretending well. She could see the slightly traumatized look on his face. She then looked over to Willow and Tara who weren't even going to the trouble of pretending to ignore the couple. They looked slightly fascinated by the strange dispute between the lovers. "Hey guys!" she chirped. Everyone, save Xander and Anya turned towards her.
"Hey Buffy!" Willow replied, smiling her sweet, adorable little smile.
"Why, hello Buffy." Giles said. "I take it things are, well, better?"
"Of the good" Buffy answered.
"Where's Dawn?" Tara asked.
"Oh, her and mom are having some quality time today."
"That's good" Willow piped up. "Is she doing all right?"
"She's dealing very well."
"Anya, please, can not talk about this here?" Xander's voice rose up, catching everyone's interest.
"But we need to talk!" Anya protested.
"But not here. We can talk later, honey. You know, when we're alone?" Anya simply stared at him. "Please?"
"Fine" Anya gave in, rolling her eyes.
"Thank you" Xander turned his attention back to the others. "Hey Buff, when did you get here?"
"Just a couple minutes ago"
"Oh, didn't see you come in" Buffy's response was to smile knowingly at him.
After a moment of silence Buffy spoke up. "So, um, since things have been slow lately in the slaying department, not counting the bitch from hell, who I'm guessing won't try to mess with the powerful witch duo for a while," She smiled at Willow and Tara. "Maybe we could have a little fun tonight."
"Sounds good to me." Willow chimed in. "Unless anyone has objections..?"
"Not a one" Xander countered.
"This is probably going to be the only time we're going to be able to do non-demony stuff for a while though." Buffy said a slight sadness to her voice.
"Right, I hear ya, I'll be sure to bring my boogie shoes tonight." Xander assured.
"And Giles can even come if he wants" Buffy offered.
******
Buffy watched the two couples dancing to a slow song. Normally she would have been slightly depressed since she didn't have a honey at the time, but she was in too good of mood to let that get to her. She would have kind of liked to have someone to talk to, but Giles had wormed his way out of going. She smiled as thought back to earlier that day when she had told Giles he could come. He had looked like a deer in headlights, and after much babbling, he finally came up with a justification to why he could not join them.
She focused her thoughts back to her friends on the dance floor. *They look so happy* she thought with a sigh. *Like I used to be* She watched her friends sway to the music. She wasn't envious of them, far from, she was very pleased that they had all found each other. It wasn't like she was all gloomy and miserable either, she had her wonderful friends, she didn't need to have a man to be happy. *It would be nice though.*
"Hello, Slayer" A voice said, breaking her from her thoughts. She looked up, and rolled her eyes, sighing.
Spike.
"What are you doing here, Spike?" she asked.
"Same thing as you I imagine" He replied. "Having a little fun after a hard fight. Not to mention to escaping from the tremendous monotony of hanging around my crypt all the time."
*Ooooh big words for Spike* She thought to herself
"Okay, then why don't you go and pester someone else" She said, even though she didn't want him to leave. He was fun to banter with, with all his cockiness and little nicknames he came up with for her. And they had formed somewhat of a friendship, though she wouldn't admit that to him. She wouldn't tell him that she enjoyed having him around.
"Cuz' irritating you is my much loved hobby" he said sitting in the chair across from her, apparently trying to piss her off. It wasn't working. It was egging her on to fight with him.
"Excuse me, who said you could sit there?"
"I did."
"Since when did anything you say count for anything?" Buffy baited, trying to look stern and annoyed. It wasn't working too well. Spike could tell she was enjoying the playful fight as much as he was. "So go away" she added when he didn't budge.
"And since when did I ever listen to anything you say?"
"Since you stopped being big bad and started helping me" she replied smiling sweetly at him.
"Piss off"
"This is my table"
"So?"
"So you can 'Piss off '" She said, imitating his accent. She attempted again to be irritated, but it only ended up with her laughing.
"What's so amusing Slayer?"
"You're so.... stupid. And shutup, I ran out of names."
*****
The slow song had ended, and Xander, Anya, Willow, and Tara went back to the table.
"Hey, what is Spike doing at our table?" Xander said indicating the blond vampire.
"Xander, be nice, he's our friend" Anya said.
"Since when?" Xander inquired.
"Well, him and Buffy are talking aren't they?" Anya pointed out. The others approached the table. They WERE talking, and LAUGHING! Xander almost pissed his pants.
"What's going on?!? Why is HE sitting here?" Xander practically shouted. He got a startled, yet thoughtful look on his face before he turned to Willow. "Did you do another spell to brainwash them?"
"No!" Willow said defending herself.
"Xander, relax. What's the problem?" Buffy said looking up at Xander.
"The problem is Evil Dead sitting at our table"
"Oh, this bleached moron, don't mind him" Buffy said, not being able to resist goading Spike again.
"And you're one to talk." Spike reached over and showed Buffy a strand of her own hair. "This isn't natural either, luv" He settled back into his chair. He watched as Buffy did a very un-slayer like thing. She stuck her tongue out at him. He chuckled in response.
Her friends stared at Buffy with shock as they watched her teasingly throw an abandoned peanut at Spike. Buffy giggled when he growled.
"Will, do something about this" Xander griped in Willow's ear.
"Okay" she answered. "I have to go to the bathroom. Buffy come with me."
"K" Buffy got up and took the direction where she would have to pass behind Spike. She reached out and tousled his hair as she walked past.
"Bloody hell woman... "
*****
As soon as Buffy closed the bathroom door Willow pounced on her.
"What were you doing out there?" she demanded.
"What do you mean?"
"You and Spike talking, without you kicking his ass!"
"Maybe I like being around him" Buffy said finally confessing that one thing her friends totally didn't know about her.
"Since when?!?"
"You know, this is why I was never ever going to tell you guys that"
"What kind of feelings are you having for him?" Willow asked wearily.
"Will, he's fun to fight with, especially play fight with. He puts up with my shit and throws it right back at me, that's all"
"I don't know, you were acting kind of flirty. Him too, but mostly you"
"Will, there's absolutely nothing between us in that way" Buffy lied. She was unquestionably attracted to the blonde vampire. She would NEVER admit to that, not to anyone.
"Okay, just checking. Xander would have a heart attack." She declared with a slight laugh.
"I'm sure he still will when he finds out that I think of Spike in even a friendly way."
"Most likely"
"What do you think he'd do if I sat on Spike's lap?" Buffy wondered.
"Buffy!" Willow shrieked, gawking at her friend.
"Just kidding, Will"
******
When Buffy and Willow returned to the table, Anya and Spike were talking and Xander was making conversation with Tara, trying to ignore the vampire.
"Xander, aren't you going to talk to Spike?" Anya queried.
"I don't talk to blonde, English, annoying vampires, sorry"
Buffy and Willow sat down in their respective seats.
"I take it we're not getting along?" Buffy said, amused.
"Well no. Until all persons without a heartbeat GO AWAY, I'm pretty upset." Xander glowered, obviously getting quickly annoyed by the vampire.
"What happened to your boogie shoe philosophy?" Buffy questioned.
"You know, dancing is a good idea. Whose with me?" Willow, Tara, and Anya stood. "Okay ladies, ready to do some heavy duty dancing with Xand-man?" They all smiled at him. "What, the Buffster not in for some boogieing?" He said when he saw she wasn't standing.
"Nah, maybe later. I'll just talk to Spike." She held back a giggle as smoke practically came out of Xander's ears before he turned and stomped towards the dance floor, the girls in tow.
"I don't think he likes me very much, pet. I think you're the only one who hates me more than him."
"I... I don't hate you" Spike glanced at her. She was looking down at her lap, avoiding his gaze. She could feel his eyes burning into her. She slowly raised her head. "I mean, You've been around for a while now, and I guess what I'm trying to say is that we've become friends." She stared at him, pleading him with her eyes to tell her that he felt the same way.
"I guess we have" Buffy let out the breath she hadn't even realized she'd been holding and smiled shyly at him.
"So, uh, now that you're part of the gang, would you like to be my patrol buddy?" She asked, trying to jump away from the topic.
"Count me in"
******
Spike and Buffy had been sitting in silence for a few minutes, when a slow song came on. Buffy watched all the couples join and hold each other close as they swayed to the music.
Spike was also watching the couples on the dance floor. *If only the Slayer would let me hold her like that* . He would give anything for just one dance with her. He started trying to envision what it would be like to hold the petite, exquisite slayer close to him, when her voice brought him out of his fantasy.
"You know what, I haven't danced at all tonight. And that's something I don't get to do often"
"Oh, go ahead"
"Actually, I was going to ask you if you wanted to, well, you know dance " Buffy said hurriedly, getting it over with. Her palms began getting sweaty when he looked up at her. She couldn't believe she had asked him to dance with her, but she really, really wanted to. Just the thought of his body pressed up against hers made her tremble with anticipation.
"Alright" Spike managed. She had asked him to dance. He was shocked, suprised, excited, estatic, scared, panicked, and completely blissful all at once. He stood and let her guide him out to the dance floor.
"I wanna be the face to see when you close your eyes
I wanna be the touch you need every single night
I wanna be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between"
Buffy wrapped her arms around Spike's neck as his hands found their way around her waist. Buffy looked him straight in the eye as they swayed to the music that seemed to depict exactly how they felt.
"I want you to need me
Like the air that you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
I want you to need me, need me
Like I need you"
The music coursed through them as they got lost in each other's eyes, both searching for the same thing the other felt, yet not allowing their own feelings to be revealed , not wanting to be rejected.
"I wanna be the eyes that look deep into your soul
I wanna be the world to you I just want it all
I wanna be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish
And all you ever need"
Willow looked around the room and did a double take when she saw Spike and Buffy dancing close, too close for it to be just friendly, and gazing into each other's eyes, completely unconscious to the other people around them. *Sure Buffy, absolutely no attraction there*
"I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
I want you to need me, need me"
The second Xander saw Buffy dancing way, way too close to Spike, his first impulse was to charge over there and pull them apart. He couldn't though. He noticed the way they were staring at each other. They looked like they were thisclose to tearing each others clothing off *Its nauseating...*
"'Coz I need you more than you could know
And I need you to never never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are"
Buffy kept looking Spike in the eye, hoping against hope to find that he was attracted to her, yearning for her like she desired him. The words to the song explained exactly what she experienced at the moment, and it was really getting to her. *This is going to change things* she thought. But, she didn't mind, it was so perfect, their bodies seemed to mold together, like they were created for each other.
"I wanna be the face you see when you close your eyes
I wanna be the touch you need every single night
I wanna be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between.."
Spike wouldn't care if someone killed him right than and there, he would die happy. Buffy was letting him hold her close like he always had wanted to. Did she know how much he cherished her? She couldn't possibly, she most likely thought of the dance as merely friendly. He couldn't really decipher what she thought of it, her eyes were revealing nothing. But he stubbornly kept his gaze, trying to uncover something, anything.
"I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
'Coz baby I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
I want you to need me, need me
Like I need you"
The song ended and the blonde couple unwillingly pulled away from each other, not sure what do next. They stood there for an instant, avoiding each other's eyes, before deciding to make for their table. They both sat in their seats. Buffy folded her arms across her stomach, the silence making her uncomfortable.
"Hey, anybody want a drink?" the two looked up at the sound of Xander's voice.
"Um, actually, I'm going to go patrol" Buffy said, not wanting to handle what had just transpired. She knew that there was no way the others hadn't seen her dancing with Spike.
"I thought you were free of obligations tonight"
"It's in my blood" Buffy said simply.
"Do you want me to come with you?" She glanced over at Spike. She was getting tense around him, fast. "Uh, no, I, uh, just want to go alone tonight" He nodded and looked away. She said goodbye to the others and preceded to leave, sighing.
*****
Willow was fully aware what was going on between the Slayer and the blonde vampire. She scurried after Buffy, catching up with her. She gently seized her arm.
"Buffy, what's really going on with Spike? I saw you two dancing"
"We're just friends, Will, I told you already. It was just a dance."
Willow nodded and watched the Slayer leave the club. She knew her friend was lying. Willow didn't get why they didn't grasp the idea that they felt the same way about each other, even from dancing they way the had. She shrugged and headed back to the table.
