Heck, for a change of pace, I'm rating this R, for alluding to m/m sex.
Disclaimer: Characters don't belong to me. Joss and Co. owns them. Blah, blah, and blah. The song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," by Aerosmith, off the "Armageddon" soundtrack isn't mine either.
Distribution: SpikeNAngelFic archive and anyone else I've given permission to. All else, ask.
Spoilers: Basic Angel Season 1 spoilers, and BtVS Season 4.
Summary: Spike sings to Angel without Angel's knowledge. Almost.
Author's Notes: I don't know how this story happened. I was just listening to the song, and it popped into my head.
Dedicated to: Everyone who loves this song.
________________
Silence. It was silent in the apartment. There was no breathing noises, no creaky bedsprings, no hint of the activities that had been hosted not an half an hour earlier. The simulating activities that Spike and Angel had both been active participants in, as soon as they reached inside the door of Angel's apartment.
The secretary had gone, the demon hunter was elsewhere. All was quiet and still.
Including Spike, who was leaning on one arm, watching Angel sleep, their naked bodies resting comfortably together. He had rested in post-orgasmic bliss, but he never actually fell asleep like Angel had.
He was watching Angel's worry-free face, the wrinkles and lines that were there in everyday life had smoothed out, and Spike could find his old lover, Angelus, in the features. But he enjoyed Angel much more.
Spike very softly began to sing to Angel, brushing a stray piece of hair that was out of place away, and studied the face as he sang.
"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you're sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure"
Spike loved that he was reunited with Angel, 'cause after the week and a half of teasing, he was ready for a good, hard shag. He bet Angel had felt that way too. Or at least, that was the impression he got.
"Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Coz even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing"
Spike sang from the heart, bearing his feelings for Angel to the world more than he had before, expressing it through the emotions in his voice, and the tears threatening to fall down his face.
And he never cried.
"Laying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever"
When he sang that last bit, his fingers drifted over Angel's eyes, not enough to wake, but just to touch, and then he laid gentle feather kisses on Angel's peacefully shut eyelids.
He didn't do good with the thanking God part, but did thank the higher power that watched over him.
"I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Coz even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
"I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For the rest of time"
Rest of time. That's how long Spike wanted his new relationship with Angel to last. The rest of time. And the with whole Powers watching over the both of them, it was looking to be a good possibility.
"Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Coz even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
"I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Coz even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing"
He sang the last chorus with more passion, and Angel stirred next to him, cracking open his eyes to gaze at Spike.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" He asked sleepily, going to rub his eyes.
Spike reached for and held Angel's hand, and sang the next lines.
"Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep"
He released Angel, and Angel's sleepy brain recognized a song, and he relaxed, and was closing his eyes to go to sleep again, as Spike sang out the last line, settling down to lay his head on Angel's chest.
"I don't want to miss a thing."
