A/N- Buffy is not coming back

       They arrived at Angel Investigations around 11:30 that night. They pulled up and grabbed their bags out of the back of Spike's car. When they reached the door Spike stopped and stared at it. After a minute Dawn asked, "So, aren't we going to go in? They do know we're coming right?"

        "Yeah," Spike answered still staring at the door.

       "Then why aren't we going in?"

       "We're going to go in. I'm just getting prepped," Spike said rolling his head from side to side.

       "Oh. For what?"

       "Well, it's been a while since I last saw Angel,"

       "And," Dawn said impatiently.

       "And," Spike said annoyed, "it didn't go over well." He gave a side-glance at Dawn.

       "It never seems to go over well does it," Dawn said as she looked over at Spike with a smile.

       "Ha, ha very funny," he said as he knocked on the door.

       "I thought it was."

The door opened to reveal Angel standing there with a big smile on his face. "Dawn! Happy Birthday!" Angel said as he wrapped his arms around her and swung her around in a circle. "How are you?"

"Ok, and you?"

"Been good. So do you feel any older?"

"Nope."

Angel looked at Spike and nodded at him, "Spike."

"Angel," Spike said doing the same, " So where should we put our stuff?"

"'Our' stuff?" Angel asked confused, "I thought only Dawn was staying."

"No. We both we're staying."

"So you're telling me that you're staying also," he looked at Dawn, "Please tell me this is some kind of joke."

"No Angel, it's not, we're both staying," Dawn told him, " I guess you didn't get the message. Oh well."

"'Oh well', that's it?"

"Look I'm tired, so just show me to my room and I can get some sleep," Dawn said.

"Ok, it's all ready for you up stairs. Let's put your bags up there and we'll get you all set up." Angel headed for the stairs with Dawn following him while Spike stood where he was.

"Well where do I sleep?" Spike asked.

Before Angel could answer Dawn said, "You can sleep in my room, if you want."

"Wait a second. He can not sleep in your room!"

"Why not? He can sleep there tonight and we can set up another room tomorrow for him."

"Because it's not right!" Angel answered.

 Angel really didn't like the idea of Spike and Dawn sharing a room and Spike knew this. So to drive him crazy Spike accepted Dawn's offer. "It's fine with me, Bit. So let's all get our bags up stairs and the two of us get some sleep."

They carried the bags up the stairs to the room that had been prepared for Dawn. When they got there and had put everything they brought in the room Angel walked out to the hallway. "Well, I guess," but the rest of his sentence was cut off when Spike shutthe door in his face. "If anything happens in there Spike you're dust!" Angel yelled through the door then went back down stairs.

Inside the room Spike and Dawn were setting up to get ready to sleep. "What did he mean by that?" Dawn asked.

       "I think he means if I try to attack, Nibblet."

       "Oh. And you would do that, why?"

       "I don't know. I can't attack you very well anyway with this soddin' chip."

Dawn went into the bathroom to change and brush her teeth. Spike took the opportunity to strip down and change into a pair of sweat pants. When Dawn came back out, wearing a pair of shorts and old t-shirt, he was in bed already waiting for her.

       Dawn climbed into bed turned her back to Spike and shut the light off. Spike did the same and soon after they both were asleep. 

Some time in the middle of the night Spike half asleep rolled further into the warmth that was at his side and Dawn cuddled closer to Spike. By the next morning their bodies were intertwined, and they slowly began to wake up. Dawn was first and started to burry her head further under Spike's chin when she realized who it was. She jerked back, but was held in place by Spike's grip around her.

While she tried to push him away he held her tighter and tried to pull her closer to him. When he wasn't making any progress he woke up and his eyes went wide.

They both jerked away from each other and jumped out of the bed. They were shocked by what had happened and what made it worse for them was that they both had enjoyed it.

Dawn was the first to move. She quickly headed for the bathroom to get her shower and dress. Spike was still to shocked to do anything, he had let it happen and he had enjoyed it and hadn't wanted it to end. He shouldn't be thinking about Dawn in that way. It was wrong and it was a good way to go about getting staked.
