To Be A Friend
Buffy pulled herself away from his lips, kissing him was so nice but she couldn't, she shouldn't. Spike was looking at her joy filling his features, this was the moment he had waited for.
When they had their little fling he loved it, but he knew, deep down he knew that her ending it was the only thing that gave them a chance for the future. He had tried to make her love him, it hadn't worked, only time would give them a chance.
Buffy fumbled with her shirt, "Spike I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that."
She watched the pain come into his eyes, why was she doing this again. The pain suddenly turned to anger, "So we're back to that are we."
Buffy knew what he was talking about but she really didn't want to get into it, "Leave it Spike we're friends and that's it."
"Sorry love but that's not it. I love you. There I said it I've been holding it back for six bloody years and now I've said it again. You kiss me and then you want me to forget. I always told you I'd stick around and I have," He stoppped for an breath that wasn't needed, "I have stayed to be a friend, your firends are now my friend they have come to accept me. There's nothing holding us back. Just please tell me what you feel for me."
Buffy was taken back, that little rant had seemed to come out of nowhere but she could tell he had been thinking it from the night she left him.
"I er Spike, you. God I don't know." She left the the kitchen, Spike followed.
She felt his arm spin her around. He said nothing he just looked right into her eyes.
"So then Buffy Summers you want to go on a date with me?" Spike asked hoping that she wouldn't laugh at him. He could see her thinking about it. Thinking about every possible concesquence of her saying yes.
"Ok one date, but remember I go on dates all the time and never want to bother with the guy again."
Spike was so tempted to say that it was only because no-one could compare to him but he thought better of it, she only slap him.

Spike was on cloud nine, he had been waiting all day to go and see the Nibblet and little Will and now he was there. Dawn knew straight away when she saw them that something had happened.
"Well then are you going to tell me what's happened to make you all smilely then?" Dawn asked eyeing her favourite big brother.
"Nope" Spike answered, his mood was so good that he felt like he should annoy someone.
"Please Spike." She pouted the same pout that Buffy always used to get her own way with him.
"Fine but don't go blabbing, I'm taking Buffy on a date."
Dawn let out a shriek, the baby in her arms started to cry at the sound of his mothers joy.
Spike instictively took the baby from her and rocked the little bundle in his arms as he paced the room. Dawn noticed how great he looked with the baby, all the love he felt for William already.
Dawn also noticed her sister stood at the door spying through the window. Buffy was gazing at Spike, she knew that it didn't matter how the date went they would be together. All the love in Buffy's eyes watching Spike rock her nephew in his arms cooing gently. With or without a soul, Spike was one hell of a man.
Buffy pushed the door to the room, she hadn't wanted to disturb the scene before her but she couldn't wait to get a hold for herself.
~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy made her way out of the room, Spike had left about half an hour ago wanting to give the sisters some time alone.
"Hey I thought you'd gone home?" She asked finding Spike sat outside Dawn's room.
"I thought that I should make sure you were ok to drive." Trying to hide the fact that he was pained to leave her.
"Yeah I'm fine that sleep before did me the world of good." She told him, "But thanks for offering." She added tring not to hurt his feeling, which she knew when it came to her could be easily damaged.
"Ok night pet." Spike said making his way out of the doors.
"Er Spike, how's tomorrow for you, say 8 o'clock?" Buffy asked coyly.
Spike grinned, she hadn't just said yes to shut him up, she wanted to go, "I'll pick you up love. Goodnight."
With that he went off into the night, leather duster blowing in the wind and Buffy got caught up in her thoughts of how sexy he really was.
