Capter7..................A night of comfort.
Ezra pulled her coat tightly around her small body, and wrapped her arms around her chest. She leet out a sigh and she could see her breath. She hated this. She was cold, and wet. She wanted to go home. To her forests. She missed the tall green trees, and the animals. And her friends. She didn't like it where she was. Here in this cold ally.
Aaron was sitting next to her on the cold pavement. He put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him, and they shared each others warmth. "It's okay linnie, we'll find shelter tomorrow" he told her. She cringed at the use of her old nick name.
"Don't call me that" she said.
"I will always call you that" he said. She smiled at him, and leaned her head on his shoulder. After a while they both fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spike closed the door behind him and Buffy. She handed him a White bath robe, "Here" she said, "You can where this while I dry your clothes" He took the robe from her.
She put her hand on his head and ruffled his hair, brushing some of the water out. "there's towels in the closet at the end of the hall. "I'm gonna take a shower, I'll only be a minute." she left her room and went into the bathroom.
After a moment he heard water running in the bathroom. He went to the end of the hall and grabbed a towel. He pulled off his shirt and started to dry himself off on his way back to Buffys room.
Dawn intercepted him in the hall, "Where's Buffy? is she up? Why are you wet" she poured the questions out at him.
"Buffy's taking a shower. We were wet because we were out side, now, I think you should go to bed now pigeon, want me to tuck you in?" He said to her.
Dawn gave him an incredibly annoyed look. "Spike, I'm fifteen, I don't need to be tucked in anymore" she said to him. Spike replied by putting an arm on her shoulder and pushing her towards her room.
When they got to the door Dawn wrapped her arms around his waist "Thanks Spike" Spike acwardly put his arms around her shoulders. He wasn't used to displaying affection. Dawn didn't seem to notice though. She let go of him and walked over to her bed. She pulled down the blankets and got in, "Send Buffy in when she gets out of the shower will you?" Dawn asked. Spike nodded and shut the door.
He went back to Buffys room and began to dry himself off again. Buffy walked in. She was wearing a pair of pink silk pajama pants, and a matching tank top. She looked at him for a long time, just starring at him.
She walked up to him and put a hand on his bare chest. She leaned into him and kissed his neck. Spike wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply and passionately on the mouth. She pulled away and looked him in the eyes. Her eyes sparkled with green light, "I love you Buffy" he said to her.
Buffy stared at him, for one horrible moment he thought she was going to pull away push him out of her life again, but she didn't. She opened her mouth to say something "Spike, I can't tell you I love you" she said. Spike flinched at her remark. He thought that she had realized that she loved him, "I don't know if I do" she went on, "But, I think that I could" She told him.
It wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear, but it was a start. He lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her. His kisses were no longer gentle, but full of passion and need. Buffy wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed him to lower her to the bed.
He kissed up and down her neck and she let him. For the first time in both of their lives, they both felt they belonged. Like they had finally found home. Buffy felt alive again, Spike felt warm for the first time in over a century. They had both found their family. And they took their comfort in each other. Taking all the other had to give.
The end.
A/N Okay, I know, this ending has like no closure. But, I am having trouble planing on how to write the rest, and I have an idea for another fanfic. Not Buffy sadly, but dark angel. I can promise however, that there will be a sequel. A nice long one. but not until I finish my next story. Well, lovies to you all
