This Isn't Me

Chapter 10
Buffy rolled over and looked at the clock next to Spikes bed. She quickly sat up when she realised it was after 1. Buffy scrambled out of bed preparing to yell at Spike, for letting her sleep. He said they would be able to train in the morning and she didn't want to waste time. Walking into the lounge room she noticed that he was still asleep on the couch. She walked over to him and poked him in the chest. When he didn't move Buffy decided to make them both something to eat. Although it was late Buffy decided that she still needed to eat breakfast. Opening the fridge Buffy pulled out a bag of blood for Spike and some milk for hot chocolate. Buffy went about making breakfast. In the end she had made two mugs of hot chocolate one with marshmallows in it for Spike, a plate of toast for herself and a mug of blood with weta bix in it. Buffy some how managed to carry the three cups and plate into the lounge and placed them on the coffee table before she sat herself on it. Buffy picked up the mug of blood and started waving it in front of Spikes face. Spikes eyes shot open, he then looked to his side and saw a smiling Buffy.
"Good morning sleepy head, well I should say afternoon"
Spike sat up and looked at her. Buffy handed him the mug of blood.
"Breakfast"
Spike took the mug and took a big gulp. He then started chocking on it.
"Oh shit sorry"
Spike recovered then looked down at his blood and saw lumpy bits in it.
"Weta bix" he asked smiling.
Buffy nodded "Yeah isn't that the way you like it"
"Yeah it is thanks," he said taking a smaller sip.
Buffy picked up her toast and began munching on it, only stopping to take a sip of her hot chocolate. Spike looked at her hot chocolate before returning to his blood. Buffy noticed this and smiled. He was just like a little kid.
"Here" she said offering him the other mug of chocolate "Be careful there's marshmallows in it"
Spike eagerly took the mug from her and quickly drank it down before returning to his blood.
"So luv what's with all the niceness"
Buffy looked at him shocked "What I cant be nice"
Spike raised his eyebrows.
"Well ok I figured if I made you breakfast we could start training start away"
"Ok" Spike said standing up "Get up so I can move some stuff out of the way, when you finish eating start to limber up, don't want you to pull a muscle do we"
Buffy shoved the rest of her toast into her mouth and scooped up the mugs while spike started moving the furniture around. Buffy left the dishes in the kitchen then sat on the floor getting her muscles ready. After a few minutes Buffy was ready and walked over to Spike for instructions.
"Well umm what do you usually do with your Watcher"
Buffy scrunched her nose up.
Spike laughed "I am guessing boring meditation stuff"
"Yeah some of that"
"So I am guessing you want to strait away fight"
Buffy nodded.
"Ok well lay it on me"
Buffy got in to her fighting stance and took a swing at spike. Spike easily avoided it and began to pace around the room. Buffy took another swing and missed again. Spike noticed that she didn't have the spark in her eyes that she usually had. Spike decided to piss her off that usually got her going.
"Come on Slayer, I bet you cant even kick my ass"
Buffy took another swing with a little more force but still missed. She still wasn't angry enough yet.
"Angelus said you were a bad lay"
Buffy stopped for a second and looked at him shocked. "What"
Spike could see that she was really hurt by that comment. "I was just trying to piss you off slayer"
"Oh ok" she said calming before hitting Spike square in the nose.
The fight was on. Soon Buffys movements became smooth and her fighting with Spike looked like some choreographed dance. Punch, punch, kick, jump, punch, duck. For an hour the pair fought before Buffy finally got the upper hand. She stepped on Spikes foot and when he looked down Buffy took the opportunity to swing around and kick him in the middle of the chest. This caused him to fly back and hit the wall. Buffy grimaced at the sound his body made when it hit the wall. She then noticed that he wasn't getting up.
"Spike come on get up," she said walking over to him.
When he didn't respond Buffy kicked him in the foot.
"Come on fang breath get up".
Spike still didn't move. Buffy crouched down by him and used a move she always used to use on Xander when he was pretending that he was sleeping, she tickled him. Spike still didn't respond and Buffy began to worry. She didn't think she had hit him that hard but then saw the red footmark imprinted on his chest.
"Shit" she whispered.
Buffy lowered Spikes body to the floor so he was lying down and felt the lump forming at the back of his head. Buffy grabbed Spike under the arms and began to drag him off towards the bedroom. She figured that his injuries weren't that bad and all he needed was some time to sleep it off. Dragging Spike into his room Buffy dropped the top half on his bed then went and lifted his legs on too. Buffy tucked him into bed then went round the other side and sat on the bed. He looked so peaceful laying there that Buffy scooted down the bed and decided to lay down for a few minutes to recover from the training. With in seconds Buffy was fast asleep.
Spike smiled as he felt the warmth of his blanket consume him. He pulled the blanket closer to him and snuggled up to it.
Buffy rolled over and hugged the pillow tighter to her body. She loved the way the cool pillow made her hot flesh tingle.
Spike and Buffy sat up in bed and gasped, they both looked at each other before scrambling to the edge of the bed.
"Sodden hell, what happened"
Buffy looked frantically between herself and Spike.
"Was I just holding you," he asked shocked.
Buffy nodded "Yeah and I think I was holding you"
Spike nodded then looked up at her strangely "Why?"
"I thought you were a pillow," she added hopefully.
"No why were we in bed together"
Buffys eyes widened "We weren't in bed together, well we were but not like that. You got hurt, I kicked you, you got knocked out so I put you in bed. I guess I fell asleep to, how's your head"
Spike placed his hands behind his head and winced when he felt the lump.
"Here let me look at that," she said walking over to him. Seeing that the lump had gone down a little made Buffy a little happier.
Spike heard the phone ring and quickly moved away from Buffy. Spike left the room and Buffy began tidying up the bed. Spike walked in and saw Buffy leaning over tucking the bed. He let out a small gasp which made Buffy turn around.
"Anything important" she asked
Spike looked at her confused, oh the phone "Umm yeah that was the Doc. He says hes been trying all day, he rambled something off in doctor language, but basically your going to be fine. It was just as he expected, mild sedative, you should be fine in a few days maybe load up on the vitamins"
"Umm well that's good right I should be good in a few days"
Spike was staring at Buffy he didn't realise how good she really did look in his boxers. Spike tried to think un sexy thoughts "Riley" he said
"What?" Buffy asked shocked.
"Umm Riley, your stuff I think we should go get it, you know that way you have no ties to him, that way we can get your divorce over with, you know you said you had accounts right"
Buffy was shocked "Umm ok yeah sure, I am not sure exactly where we were living though, it might take time to find it"
"That's ok, look go take a shower then we will go get your stuff, then go find some of my undead cousins for you to release you anger on instead of me" he said rubbing his chest.
"Umm ok sure" she said heading off to the shower.
Spike decided that it was time to clear out some of the stuff in the room. If Buffy was going to be living with him she needed a place for her stuff. Spike cleared out one side of his dresser and there was plenty of room in is cupboard seeing as the only thing that really hanged in there was his duster. Spike then went back into the lounge to put everything right and clean up a little. Angel was supposed to be coming the following night and he didn't want him to think Buffy was living in squalor. Spike turned when he saw Buffy leaving the bathroom in only a towel.
"You alright luv" he stuttered.
Buffy looked at him sheepishly "Yeah I left my clothes in the room"
Spike gulped "Umm just wait a second I'll get my clothes out first then you can change ok"
Buffy waited outside the door while Spike got his gear. "There's a few empty drawers for your clothes"
"Umm thanks" she said walking into the room.
"Be ready when I get out the shower ok," he said walking off. A long cold shower he thought.
Buffy walked over to the plastic bags that held her clothes. She pulled out a black pair of jeans, wanting to blend into the darkness in case they saw Riley. She walked over to the drawers and grabbed out another black shirt of Spikes then put the rest of her items in an empty one. Deciding that she better eat before she left Buffy quickly went into the kitchen and made herself a sandwich before sitting down on the couch. She noticed that the place looked a little cleaner and that the picture Spike and drawn of her was pinned on the wall underneath the ones of Angel and Drusilla. She didn't see it earlier as she was too busy kicking Spikes ass
"I hope you don't mind I put it up" Spike said coming into the room.
"Arr no just why did you put it up there I mean there your family"
"Yeah well I figured I'd brighten up the place a bit, come on we better go" he said heading to the door.
Buffy and Spike walked out and were startled when they heard some one calling them.
"Hello Buffy, William"
Spike smiled "Hello Mrs. Weaver, what are you doing out this time of night you know its not safe"
"Oh, I'll be alright, and don't you look like a cute couple all in black then"
"Oh were not a couple" Spike said rather quickly.
"Oh I know dear but you should see you two its sweet"
Spike rolled his eyes and Buffy laughed.
"Yeah well it was hard to find too many clothes at the store that wasn't black," Buffy said smiling.
"Oh yes dear since William came to town a lot of the girls like to wear black"
"Is that right"
"Come on Slayer get in the car"
"Well I better go other wise, he will get grumpy, you better get inside"
"Ok well bye dear"
