By: Stephy Rated PG-13 (might go up) Disclaimer- As you probably already know, I own nothing! They all belong to Joss( *Set during AU season 4 after 'Something Blue' Ever wonder why Buffy choice "Wind Beneath My Wings" for her wedding song? Spuffyness!! Feedback pretty please~!~

Buffy wandered back into Giles's apartment after explaining about her sudden "marriage" to Riley. She was incredibly relieved when Riley bought her lame excuse. 'Damn that was close, almost lost a great, sexy college guy because of the stupid spell! Stupid spell!' "Hey Buff! How did it go with cutie Riley?"

A satisfied smile began to curl on Buffy's lips has she turned to her red- headed friend. "It's all fixed and peachy keen. He's gonna call me tomorrow so we can make plans,"

The slayer whipped her head to turn to the groaning sound coming from the bleached vampire, who was still securely tie to the chair.

"What is your issue bleach moron?" The words came out harsh as she strolled towards the vampire, placing herself in front of him with her hands upon her hips.

Spike rolled his eyes, "Name calling ey'? Now that's not very mature, now is it pet?" His cocky smile never leaving his face as he sarcastically replied.

"Shut-up Spike, don't you have 'Passions' to watch or something. God, how can you even watch that crap Mr. 'Big Bad'?" Buffy started to walk back towards Willow, but came to a halt at the sound of Spike's sneering voice.

"This is coming from the bint who wanted 'Wind Beneath My Wings' for a soddin' wedding song? And I thought as the bloody slayer you ave' a bit of better taste."

Buffy was beyond indignant. She narrowed her emerald eyes and stormed towards the irritating vamp staring him straight in the face. " I have great taste! And as I said before it was the spell! So shut your mouth before I make you into a pretty little dust pile!"

Just then Willow came over towards the feuding pair, trying her best not to make anyone more pissed off then they already are. "Umm, Buffy? I kind of have to meet Giles at the Magic Box to help him load up on supplies. Do you think you can Spike-sit for a couple of hours?"

"I don't need a bleedin' babysitter!" Spike yelled from his spot.

"Fine! I'll watch the soulless jerk. Just please hurry back, or I just might kill him." The blonde slayer groaned as she plopped herself on the couch. Willow gave her a sympathetic smile and exited out the door.

The vampire eyed Buffy as he shot daggers with his icy blues, "What's the matter? Don't want to spend some quality time with your 'Fiancée'? He stressed the last word as a smug smile appeared on is face.

Buffy pursed her lips together, as she dangerously glared at him. "Shut-up, before I make you shut-up" Retorted the angry slayer.

Spike's smirk never left his face. His mouth then took up singing stance as he began to sing. "Did you ever know that you're my hero."

Annoyed, Buffy got up and ventured towards the kitchen, while kicking Spike on the leg as she made her way.

"Bloody hell, slayer! That was very unnecessary."

"Then stop singing, it will save you the pain and abuse!"

"Honestly slayer, out of every soddin' song, why must you pick the most dumb one? Are you insane? You stupid chit. I know it wasn't the bleedin' 'Will Be Done' spell."

A slightly embarrassed expression was painted on Buffy's face. She knew he was right. "You really want to know why I picked the cheesiest song in the whole world?" Spike nodded. "Fine, but you have to promise not to laugh."

The vamp began simpered, "Cross my unbeatin' heart."

The blonde slayer rolled her eyes and took a deep breath before she started to speak. "It was my parent's wedding song." Spike gave her a 'so what' look, which motivated her to continue.

"Before my dad became a two-timing bastard, every anniversary they had shared, he would do something so phenomenal and no matter what he did he always had that song."

Buffy started to stare and fiddle with her hands as she began to remember one of the most glowing moments she has ever witnessed.

" I remember one year for their 10th anniversary, dad decorated the whole apartment with rose petals, made the most gorgeous dinner I've ever seen, and placed a variety of candles in different places of the apartment. Then when mom came home, she open the door with me standing right behind her and all of a sudden dad came slowly walking down the stairs, with 'Wind Beneath My Wings' playing on surround sound."

While Spike was listing, he notices so much emotion swimming in Buffy's eyes. As he gazed closer, he noticed a single tear falling from her hope filled eyes. 'Slayers don't cry. They never cry.' Spike thought to himself in pure bewilderment.

"I gave my mom a kiss and walked out of the building, wishing them a happy anniversary. As I headed off to my friend Kirsten's house, all I could think was, when I grow-up, I hope I find love like my parents' share. Every time I hear that song, I think of the amazing heartfelt glory love can bring. And I guess while I was under Will's spell, I wanted to feel that with you."

Spike gaped into Buffy's now tear stained face. He could have been utterly cruel, but he couldn't bring himself to it. He felt warm feeling in the pit of his stomach, thinking of how Buffy wanted to share something so special with him. Even though it was just the effects of the spell. He was snapped from his daze as the slayer got up and began to talk. "I know, I know. It's incredibly girly and stupid. Please spare me the mockery and just forget the whole thing." She wiped her eyes and made her way into the kitchen. I can't believed I just shared that with Spike! He is never going to let me live it down. Buffy sat down at the table and began to munch on marshmallows, as she awaited Willow and Giles arrival. She wanted to leave more then ever. 'How could I have been so vulnerable in front of an evil vampire?'

Back in the living room, Spike was contemplating what he had heard. Suddenly, he was hit with fear of a certain unwanted emotion towards the blonde heroine. 'Bloody hell!' .

So what did ya think? Should I continue?
