A/n: Anya who? She just doesn't exist in this fic

Chapter two

It hadn't taken him long to figure it out; He had fallen for Spike. Sure he had hated him for two years, but that was before he really got to know him. He kinda grew on you. Like.....mold.

When they were hanging out in Hell's basement, Spike would show his sensitive and insecure side. He would give Xander these shy little smiles that made him all warm inside. When Spike slept, he would snore lightly and fidget in his sleep. Also, he would hook his index finger over the bridge of his nose whilst he slept. So adorable. Sometimes, work let out early and Xander would come home and watch Spike sleep.

Sometimes when They watched TV or talked, Xander would gently knead the back of Spike's neck. In response, Spike made this low purring noise. It made Xander weak in the knees. Wow he was in love with Spike.

He heard the door bell ring [ I have a doorbell!] and he got up off his couch [MY couch] And opened the door to see a grinning Spike on the other side

"Hey, Bleachboy!" Xander grinned.

Spike smiled back. "Gonna invite me in?" He waved his hands to indicate the invisible barrier at the threshold.

Xander smiled and stepped aside, "Come in Spike, it's your home too."

Spike returned the warm smile and stepped into their apartment carrying an expression akin to awe. Then he immediately began looking around the apartment. He noted the two Beds, two kitchen chairs, two night stands, the blood in the fridge and heavy curtains over every window. Two of everything.

He turned to Xander with shining eyes, who was standing in the background as Spike examined the bedroom. "You weren't kidding, Xan, I'm really living here."

Xander walked over to him and put his hand at the nape of Spike's neck. As soon as he began to massage, Spike began to purr.

"Of course you are."

"It's just..." Spike trailed off in embarrassment and looked away.

Xander smiled. This was turning into a mushy-gushy moment, and to tell the truth he didn't hate it.

"What is it, Baby?" Both sets of eyes went wide with shock at the endearment. Xander moved on. "Just what?"

Spike blinked as the shock wore off and sat on his new bed. "No one's ever...done this." He murmured so softly that Xander had to strain to hear it. He sat on the bed beside Spike, but remained at a safe distance. "Done what?"

A lone tear escaped Spike's blue orbs but he wiped it away. "Cared"

Xander fought the urge to tell Spike that he not only cared but loved him so much. That came later. Instead he scooted over so they were hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder. "I care." He leaned over and brushed Spike's lips with his own. Spike kissed him back and ran his cool tongue over Xander's lower lip, asking for entrance. Xander moaned and opened his mouth to let Spike's tongue slip inside.

Their tongues battled for dominance, Xander's hand massaging Spike's neck, making him purr into the kiss. Spike broke away and pushed Xander down on the mattress so he was on top. His blue eyes searched chocolate-brown eyes for an answer to the unspoken question.

[This is it] Xander had had one partner before this; Faith. And that was a disaster. He was inexperienced, and a virgin when it came to men. But there was a first time for everything. He nodded and Spike smiled as he unbuttoned Xander's plaid shirt. Once it was off, his pants followed. Along with his shoes and socks. He was so lost in the feeling of having Spike's eyes wandering over his naked body like it was chocolate bar, that he almost didn't notice Spike was naked as well. Almost. [Oh wow]

Spike put a hand on Xander's cheek. "Are you sure?"

Xander swallowed nervously. He had to get it out in the open. "I've never...With a guy."

Spike leaned in and kissed him gently and lovingly before Repeating the question. "Are you sure?"

Xander was quiet for a minute then he smiled. "Make love to me Spike."

Spike smiled huge and kissed Xander's forhead, nose, cheeks and lips.

"Done." and he did just that.
