Morning and Missing You



Disclaimer: I own nothing. No Buffy, no Spike, no nothing.

Buffy slowly woke to the sweet sound of silence. The house was still and quiet and her undead boyfriend lay next to her, not breathing. This was perfect. This was how she wanted it to be every morning.



"Buffy!"



With the exception of the screaming sister, this is how she wanted it to be every morning.



"Buffy!" Dawn yelled again from the top of the stairs. Buffy just rolled her eyes and placed he head back in Spike's lap. She wanted to see how long Dawn would continue before realizing that she wasn't going to move.



"Buffy!" It was more of a weak whine this time and Buffy began to feel guilty. She could just see the puppy dog eyes and pouty lip that got her every time.



"Buffy." Spike whispered softly into her ear. She looked up and smiled at the vampire lying next to her.



"Mornin' sleep head." Buffy whispered before giving him a kiss.



"Nibblet's callin' you." He said softly. "I think you should go see what she wants."



Buffy rolled over so she was facing him. She lazily drew circles with her finger on his chest and asked in an innocent voice "Do I have to? Cause there are more important things I'd rather be doing."



"Like what?' He asked more loudly this time, for now he was interested.



"Like this." She said softly as she pressed her lips to his. She parted from him and he just stared at her. She started back and bit her lower lip almost as if she was embarrassed. She drew back from him a bit but then he grabbed the back of her head and crushed his lips on hers.



Spike smiled as their tongues battled and his hands danced around her body as hers did his. Spike slowly ran his finger along her spine and she moaned a little as his other hand came up her thigh.



Buffy moved into a position where she was straddling Spike and she placed her hands on both sides of his face.



"I love you." She whispered. Spike's eyes lit up as if he had never heard her say those words before and he flipped her over so she was under him. Buffy laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.



"Say it again." He said wearing a grin on his face.



"I love you." She said, louder this time. "More than ever." She added quietly after nibbling his ear a bit.



"M-hmm." Spike said almost in a seductive way. He slowly began to unbutton her shirt and she wrapped her legs around his waist.



"Spike." She moaned a bit. "I want you."



"I know. I want you." He said quietly.



"No," she managed between kissed and moans from both her and Spike. "I- I want you to st---"

"Buffy!!" Dawn shouted.



Buffy and Spike both sighed in annoyance and fell limp, Spike's body loosely lying on hers.



"God!" Buffy yelled in annoyance. "I swear I am going to strangle her one of these days."



"S'alright, luv. Go see what she wants." He said while sitting up and buckling his pants.



"No. It's not all right. I mean, you've been home for what? A week and some? And we still haven't, well . . . y'know with the . . . we haven't---"



"I know, pet. It's okay. I have you for the rest of my life." He said with a smile on his face.



"Well aren't we the confident one." She laughed.



"Well, it's obvious you're nuts about me. And as long as you don't leave and I don't leave . . . "



" . . . then we'll be together." Buffy finished his sentence for him before heading towards the stairs. There, she found Dawn wrapped in a towel her hair soaked.



"What are you doing? And what do you want?" Buffy asked annoyed.



"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt your extremely rousing game of tonsil hockey with your undead Billy Idol wannabe boyfriend?" Dawn asked.



"No." Buffy said defensively after crossing her arms.



"Whatever. Look, I can't find the shampoo." Dawn said.



"You interrupted my extremely rousing game of tonsil hockey with my undead Billy Idol wanna boyfriend for that!?" Buffy shouted.



"Ha! I knew it." Dawn laughed.



"Under. The. Sink." Buffy said slowly. "Now go. You're dripping. Oh, and it's not Billy Idol," she leaned a bit forward and lowered her voice, "It's Billy Joel."



"Hey!" Spike shouted from the other room.



"Go, go." Buffy waved her arm at Dawn and Dawn quickly left.



"You promised." Spike said as he came up next to Buffy, shock and horror written across his face.



"Oh calm down." She said teasingly. "She already knows. She used to listen to your CD's while you were gone."



"Bloody just great." He muttered under his breath.



"Oh, it's no big deal. You've been caught with more embarrassing things. Remember the Buffy Bot?" Buffy asked.



"Trying to forget it." He replied. "Look, I better shove off. Got some work that needs to get done."



"O-oh." Buffy said, trying to hide her disappointment.



"I can stay if you want?" Spike asked.



"No, it's okay. You've been here for almost two days so just go back to your crypt. Ill, uh, I'll see you later."



"You sure, pet." He asked while he cupped her cheek in the palm of his hand.



"Yes." She kissed him tenderly and pushed him away from her slightly. "Now go before Mr. Pointy gets a little frisky."



"Ooooh. Scary." He said sarcastically. He threw his duster over his head, opened the door and left.



And he was gone. And she was alone, for now at least. She missed him already, kinda like one of those lovesick girls, from the movies, that can only live if they have a boyfriend. Ever since he had come back she couldn't bear to be away from him. Even for that first week when she had been pretending to be mad, she still needed him. He was too far away. She would have to do something about that, but for now she would have to settle for later.



Later couldn't come soon enough.

Sorry for the wait. Hey, it wasn't as long a wait as last time. I'm getting better at timing. Maybe? No? Okay.

Review! Please! Was the chapter okay? I kinda thought it was a little out of character for some Spike stuff.
