Surprise Visits, Surprise Kisses

"Hey Dawnie," Buffy called up the stairs, "You wanna go out?"
"To one of your boring seminars? No way."
Buffy rolled her eyes. "No, I was thinking more along the lines of Spike's crypt?"
"Really!? Well, in that case," Dawn hopped down the stair all a flutter, "count me in." Buffy smirked at Dawn who just rolled her eyes.
It had been two weeks since Buffy and Spike had kissed, argued, and then made up. Their friendship was even better than before. They would train together a bit, back at Spike's crypt, but mostly spent their time talking. She never would have guessed that he was a funny guy. She remembered the time he made her laugh so hard, for several minutes. He had just sat there and watched her laugh, admiring her every move with a peaceful smile on his perfect face. They also had their little ways of showing each other how much they really cared about one another. Small looks from across the room, a small comforting smile, sometimes maybe a little peck on the cheek, or forehead. Those were her favorites; he was really good at dishing them out. But as great as things were, she thought it now best to take Dawn before something happened between her and Spike. The more and more their skin touched, or hair brushed up against someone' cheek, the more the electricity built. It was becoming unbearable. She had no idea what was stopping her though; part of her didn't want to find out.
"Ok, let's go." Dawn smiled and led the way out the door.

Spike waited anxiously sitting in his chair in front of the television. Buffy would be coming soon, and he looked forward to it more than he could bear. Sometimes it was hard having her around, but most of the time it was amazing. He acted different around her, though, and he knew it. It wasn't a bad different, but it definitely wasn't doing his 'Big Bad' reputation any good. Didn't bother him though, he had had his glory days.
Spike impatiently got up from his chair. Buffy was close, he could sense her. She was warm and soft. He could just imagine her smooth hair smelling of lilac and some other very distinct scent that he couldn't quite place his finger on. It was amazing though, nothing else like it in the world. ]
He heard her open the door and smiled. "Hi Buffy."
"Hey you." She smiled back. He had never noticed how much brighter the room got when she was around.
"Any stories from the deep hell that is Scoobydom? I-, Wait, Nibblet?"
"Hey Spike!" Dawn appeared behind Buffy, glowing with joy. Spike felt himself sink a little. As much as he loved the little bit, he loved being alone with Buffy even more. He ignored the sinking feeling in his stomach and smirked.
"Long time no see Little Bit?"
"Well, y'know, there is school and, well, school." She smiled.
"Y- yeah." He said. He caught a glance at Buffy who was smiling with her hand to her mouth. He shook his head.
"Slayer, should we train?" Spike asked.
"Sounds like a plan." She told him.
"Ok, Nibblet, make yourself at home. The telly is well, right there. If it gives you any trouble, just smack it." He smiled and Dawn laughed.
Buffy watched Spike climb down the ladder, then followed. She felt his arms around her waist as she neared the bottom. She didn't need help getting down, but she let him help anyway. She turned to face him, his eyes locked on hers, arms still around her waist. She smiled a bit, remembering their first kiss. They were almost in the exact same position. She continued to smile, their eyes still locked on each other's. She wasn't exactly sure how long this would go on, so she looked down smiling. As soon as she did, he lifted her chin, smiled, and kissed her. It was soft, but passionate, full of so much love. She felt her knees turn weak. She let everything go, enveloped in his cool touch. His arms gripped her even more tightly and she wrapped her arms around his neck, allowing her fingers to flow freely through his hair. Her heart was pounding. He tasted sweet, not like tobacco or alcohol. It was a light flavor, cold but sweet and it danced around in her mouth as their tongues met.
He felt it. He felt her wanting him, this time he was sure of it. He ran his hands up and through her hair, letting the softness of it caress his fingertips. He tongue was warm and sweet. It was indescribable. This was Buffy. The ways she moved, the ways he tasted. His world was spinning. It was so far from reality. He couldn't concentrate on anything else but-
"Buffy!?" Dawn yelled.
They broke apart suddenly. She was going to kill Dawn for this. She smiled and felt herself blush suddenly.
He rolled his eyes. He was going to kill Dawn for this.
Buffy smiled and felt herself blush suddenly. She looked at Spike who unwillingly motioned her to go. She turned around, but turned back to give him a soft kiss. She smiled and went up the ladder, which she had just climbed down a minute ago.
Spike watched Buffy climb the ladder. He turned around and out of pure happiness kick a wooden crate that was a few feet away. He climbed the ladder a few minutes after Buffy. He arrived upstairs to find Dawn and Buffy arguing.
"And that is why you interrupted me!?"
"Yeesh. Overreact much? You were just training, and with Spike," Spike rolled his eyes as Dawn continued, "nothing different than what you do day after day, after day, after day."
"Uh, no to interrupt, but uh, if you want a dead man's opinion," he glanced a Buffy who laughed a little and continued, "feel free to fill me in luv." Spike told Dawn.
"Ok, I called Buffy up here because Coyote Ugly was on Pay Per View."
"Uh, no offense Bit, but that is pretty stupid. And, what is this "Coyote Ugly" and- hey, I get Pay Per View?" Spike walked over to his television in a trance.
Buffy snickered at his immaturity, then looked back a Dawn, who was rolling her eyes.
"What do you know about it anyway Spike?" Spike looked up a bit from his television, waved his hand in a quick 'forget about it' motion, then started back at his TV. "Whatever, it is not a big deal." Dawn started to walk towards the door.
"Dawn? Wait. What is wrong?" Buffy asked.
"I-it's nothing really. Just, we never really do anything anymore, ever, and I kinda thought of that movie as our movie. It is the first thing we did together in a long time, and I had fun doing it."
"You slept through the whole thing!"
"Yeah, and so did you. I got to rest my head on your shoulder and fall asleep with a movie playing. For the first time in a while, I felt like I had a mother."
Buffy's heart fell and she hugged Dawn. "Ok, listen. How about we go home. And we can go shopping, and oh! We can go to the zoo!" Dawn made a face, but gave in.
Dawn laughed a bit. "Ok."
"Good, just, let's stay away from the hyena cage."
"Why, what happened?"
Buffy put her arm around Dawn and started walking towards the door. "I'll tell you all about it."
Spike watched as the two girls walked past.
"Uh, Buffy?" Spike asked, a bit confused. He didn't know how she was going to react again to him kissing her, but he wanted to find out.
Buffy let Dawn continue walking home, promising to catch up in a few minutes. She walked towards Spike.
"What are w-"
"Shhh," Buffy put her two fingers over his lips, and she felt him tremble. She quickly replaced her fingers with her lips, but only for a second. "I'll be back later."
Spike smiled and watched her leave, only to return to his telly once she was gone. He looked at the door, then at what was on the television.
"This, is going to be interesting." He smiled, and sank down in his chair.

Do you like? Review? How about that whole "this is going to be interesting". He could be referring to the movie, or to his relationship with Buffy. Hmmmmm. And the world will never know.
