Setting – AU – Spike and Willow meet up with two very interesting women and possibly fall in love. Read more to find out. FanFic told from each characters POV.
Vamps and demons aren't the only ones attracted to the Hellmouth's powers…
"Damn, are all the people in Sunnydale this boring?" Kay said, looking out over the balcony railing at the other occupants of the Bronze. Although there were thirty or more bodies writhing around to the fast tempo of the local band, no one had yet caught her eye, or her attention.
"I thought this was supposed to be such a wild little town, what with the Hellmouth and all. We haven't even seen a fistfight since we got here, much less a Vamp." She threw herself back into the sofa, sulking at the lack of companionship they had found.
"Well, I guess the interesting types don't exactly hang out in the nightclubs, more likely the graveyards, or the slummier parts of town," Valerie drawled from the other end of the couch. Giving her blonde-trimmed front locks a flip back with one finger; she ran her other hand along her friend's shoulder to console her. "I tried to warn you."
"I know, but I just thought…Surely he comes in here at least once in a while. You heard what the demon said as well as I did. He swore that this is where Spike hangs out, right down to the balcony section he usually lurks in." Right now, she was heavily considering calling the bastard back up from hell so she could take out her anger on him firsthand for lying to them.
"Look, Kay, we knew when we invoked Toth that he was a lesser demon, and a weasely little shit at that. We knew it was a long shot and even if we do find him, he might not…." She cut the sentence short at the look on Kay's face, thinking better of once again pissing the younger girl off by not having enough faith in their quest. When they had set is plan into motion, months earlier, it hadn't sounded this hard. Spike was renowned for his many exploits, how tough could it be to track him down, turn him on, and let Kaylee have her way with him?
"Why don't we just head back to the hotel? Have a nice bath, little bit of something from that pizza place down the block, maybe a glass of wine and a cuddle before we turn in?" She felt sure the sooner her friend lost interest in this crazy Vamp hunt, the happier both of them would be. Kay, on the other hand was not convinced.
"We came 300 miles to find him, Val, why in hell are you dragging your feet about this?" Kay didn't look pleased that her girl was willing up give up so easily. The black-haired woman sighed and rose form her seat on the sofa, moving to stand behind the figure leaning on the railing and spread both arms around her slim waist. She brushed hair out of the way and placed a gentle kiss on the side of her neck, dragging the ball of her tongue stud up the length of the younger woman's aorta. Felt the small shiver go through her and smiled to herself. Still got it, girl, she thought. I might have a chance to save this evening yet. Now, if I can just get her to forget about chasing…
"Spike!" Kay practically squealed, wrenching herself from her lover's arms and running to the far end of the balcony. "I knew it! I knew he would show up here eventually if we hung around long enough!" As she jumped up and down excitedly, Valerie dropped her now-empty arms to her sides and hung her head in weary resignation. "Great, just when I'm about to talk some sense into her, the damn Vampire shows himself," she thought, disgusted. She watched as the platinum blonde let the back door of the club close behind him and raised his eyes to the spot where she stood; frowning slightly when he saw it was occupied. She frowned back, hoping against hope that he would find another section of the club to light or even better, turn and leave. No such luck. Instead, he started straight toward them, taking the winding staircase three steps in each long stride. Kay was practically beside herself by the time his wavy blonde locks showed at the top of the stairwell.
"Well ladies, it would seem as though you've found my favorite nest to set up housekeeping in," he rumbled in a low voice as he stopped at the landing, long black coat swirling around his slender legs. "Shame I'm going to have to ask you to leave it now." He crossed his arms over his chest and widened his stance, waiting for the two of them to simply slink away. Kay's face fell and she looked as though someone had just run over her puppy and kept driving without so much as a backward glance. Valerie would have been more than happy to oblige him, had it not been for his rude manner and the look on Kay's face.
"Who the hell do you think you are anyway," she challenged him, unconsciously mimicking his crossed-arm gesture and taking a step closer to his chest. "We were here first, waiting for your sorry ass, might I add." Instantly, she felt herself being jerked backward as Kaylee grabbed the collar of her blouse and yanked.
