Christmas Will *Never* Be The Same
Chapter One: Till You Find Your Soul Mate
"Is that *supposed* to do that?" asked Xander innocently. Willow shook her head.
"No. Well- actually I'm not sure. It seemed like it would have been fun to perform a Christmas-Miracle spell on the mistletoe- at the time." Replied Willow shrugging.
"Umm- Willow I hate to point out you where drunk when you did it last night." Said Xander.
"Well- yah. Everything looks good when you're drunk on eggnog and it's not my fault he walked into the magic circle. Anyway I'm afraid its stuck there until Spike's soul mate kiss's him." Said Willow her brows drawing together cutely.
Spike frowned.
"What do you mean its stuck there?! Magic it away!" growled Spike gesturing to the enchanted mistletoe above his head. Giles sighed and took off his glasses for a nervous cleaning. Hopeful that the fuming vampire wouldn't take his anger out on the shop.
"Its not that easy Spike. You heard what Willow said- It wont go away until your soul mate kiss's you." replied Giles grimacing.
"This is all you fault Red!!! What where you thinking messing with Christmas Miracles?!!" roared Spike. He wasn't going to walk around with this thing hanging above his head the rest of his life.
"Hold on fang-less! If you yell at Willow like that again- we will all play a game of pin the stake on the vampire! Besides- I thought vampires didn't have souls?" questioned Buffy.
"Buffy it's a figure of speech. Basically everyone has their own destined other half. They just have to be lucky enough to find and recognize them before their respective life or un-life ends." Giles explained setting his glasses back on his nose.
Buffy sighed dreamily.
"That's so romantic! You sure know a lot Giles. Maybe there's a side of you we've never seen." Teased Buffy. Giles blushed and started to clean his glasses again.
"It can Bloody well stay un-seen! Remember me with the problem above my head?!" Said an irritated Spike.
"There seems to be a problem in it to." Muttered Xander. Spike shoot him a glare from across the room.
"All I need to do is kiss my soul mate-" Spike trailed off and eyed a victim.
"No way Spike- I have blind folds." Said Buffy waving the wooden stake suggestively.
"Kinky" replied Spike smirking. Buffy frowned but reframed from bashing his face in.
"I-I hate to say it but- y-you guys did have a something- and- and- itwouldnthurttotry-" Stuttered Tara who had remained quite through the whole thing. As soon as she saw the look Buffy shoot her she squeaked in fear and tried to hide in the couch cushiness unsuccessfully.
Willow sighed.
"She has a point Buffy- you're his best shoot besides Dru." Said Willow honestly. Buffy looked panicked.
"Why can't we do Dru first?! There's no hurry! Lets find Dru- we can. Right?" said Buffy hopefully. Spike winced every time his old lovers name was said. If he only could kill the slayer he would have.
"Don't bother. She's gone-" Mumbled Spike.
"What?! Where?! I thought she was with that chaos demon? Isn't she?" questioned Buffy.
"No Slayer. I heard a month ago that- she took it into her little pretty head to go dancing in the sun one day. I knew she couldn't last long with out me." Said Spike his voice and face didn't betray his feelings but his eyes did. Truthfully he would miss her. She was his first real love and his only so far- but he did however have his eye on a certain chocolate-eyed brunet.
He never thought about the Slayer's White Knight that way until he stayed at his house. After time he came to respect Xander and like him a lot. The Whelp fought beside the others even though he had no special powers. Just a mean right hook and a hell lot of courage. Xander was something special in his own way.
Spike always had some level of interest of him even when he was chip-less he thought he was a 'Yummy Treat'. Especially after he got that construction job. It really filled him out nicely. Spike had to restrain himself when ever he got home from work since he was stuck with Vampire- Babysitting-Duty.
It was the same everyday- he came home and Xander would come in the front door all sweaty and dirty in his construction worker outfit (Tool-belt and all). Spike would hold on to the chair he was sitting in for dear life and try to ignore the sexy man walking across the apartment to the shower. The day would of course fallow through with suppressed urges fueling his irritable character- but it did help him hide his want for the boy. So to Xander he would just seem as another Pissed-off Vampire.
Back to the present-
"Well that's good. One less vampire." Said Buffy cheerfully. That of course was not a nice thing to say. Tara whimpered and hid behind Willow foreseeing the effects as bad. Spike clenched his fists and got up.
"I DON'T NEED YOUR RUDY HELP SLAYER! I'LL GET RID OF IT ON MY OWN!!!" with that yelled Spike turned with a flourish and stomped out into the night.
"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!!" Yelled Buffy after Spike who didn't hear.
Silence.
"Wow- Buffy-" said Willow sounding a little disappointed.
"That was harsh Buffy. Even for Spike." Said Xander looking shocked and a little sad.
"What?! Are you guys all against me now?" cried Buffy looking at each one of the group in turn. They all said nothing. "Fine! I'm going patrolling!" said Buffy stalking out unhappy.
"I'll go with her." Said Willow fallowing Buffy. Tara went with Willow clutching her arm. Giles and Xander watched them leave.
"Xander are you leaving to? Because I'd like to close shop and clean up the mess Willow made last night," Said Giles. Xander sighed.
"Yah. I'll leave G-man." Said Xander getting up.
"Don't call me that." Said Giles. "Oh and Xander? Find Spike. It's your turn to watch him this week. I'm sorry where dumping him on you the night before Christmas Eve."
"Its alright G-man. Merry Christmas." Said Xander going out the door into the cold air.
"Merry Christmas" said Giles with a sigh.
***
Spike sat on a gravestone near his old crypt silently brooding about many things. Of course the current magical floating mistletoe problem wasn't helping.
"You know if you keep that up you might get stuck in Angel mode." Said voice behind him. Spike didn't have to turn around to know the owner of the voice was Xander. He could hear his heart beating and his scent coming from a block away. Living with him made it easy to recognize when he was near and what mood he was in.
Xander sat next to him on the neighboring gravestone and Spike turned to look at him. His eyes had a deep chocolaty serious look to them. Xander was in one of his many rare serious modes known only through legends.
"The last thing I need is to turn into that pouf. What's with the serious face Knight?" asked Spike. Xander didn't spare a moment to wonder why Spike called him Knight and not Whelp or something else with less respect in it.
"I'm sorry" apologized Xander.
"For what?" asked Spike looking a little shocked. Xander knew his true feelings were showing a little. That didn't stop him thou.
"For everything. The Chip, Willow's Spell, Buffy, Dru-" Xander trailed-off.
"Don't apologize for them." Said Spike.
"Why not?" asked Xander.
"Your to good for that Knight" said Spike.
Silence last for a few minutes while each thought.
"Are we having a 'Party Of Five' moment?" asked Xander. Spike allowed him self a small snort of laughter.
"We are. Aren't we?" asked Spike.
"Yup. Come on lets go to my apartment before we it last any longer." Said Xander standing. Spike looked up.
"Its finally your turn already?" asked Spike. Xander raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. It looks like we'll be spending Christmas together. Coming." Asked Xander. Spike nodded. Getting up to fallow floating Mistletoe with him.
"What about your family? Wont you be spending Christmas together?" asked Spike. Xander didn't answer. In fact he didn't say anything else the rest of the night or the next morning before he went to work.
(A/N: I've split up the fanfic into four or less parts since it was so long. So don't kill me^^ Please R/R/ and Don't Flame!)
