Disclaimer: I lured Spike in with buffalo wings, tied him up and hid him in
the closet. The show may not be mine but I'm going to keep Spike....even if
it is by force....
A/N: Howdy all...welcome to the next installment of "Something Wrong" You wanted Riley bashing...I give you Riley bashing....my favorite combination of words...Riley bashing.. We all know Riley's a jerk, so I'm just portraying him the way he is in my story. This one's in Buffy's pov (for the most part) need to know what she's thinking.
One more thing. I LOVE U JOSH!!! He's the one that thought I should use the Kylie Minogue song called "Please Stay".. That also is not mine..All I own is my mind.
Ok, with that said.on to the story!
*~*~*~*~*
The force of Riley's blow knocked Spike to the ground. He looked up at the towering man, fire flashing in his eyes.
In a flash Spike was up, giving Riley's gut a hard punch, leaving them both in pain. Buffy held Riley back after Spike had fallen to the floor, his face in his hands.
"Why didn't you let me fight him?" Riley asked in a huff. Starting to feel slightly worried at his girlfriends actions.
"Riley, he's defenseless, and it really isn't your place to decide whether or not Spike dies." Riley looked at her sharply, not believing the words coming out of her mouth.
"Why are you protecting him?" He asked, bending down to look her in the face. She sighed.
"Riley, could we not fight here. Fighting with you in front of my friends doesn't rate high on a happiness scale. Or comfort scale."
"Fine.you don't want to discuss it? You know where to find me.." Riley glanced across the room to all its occupants, giving them a hard stare, turned, and left through the front door, nearly giving Spike a sun burn.
"Oi! Watch it." Spike yelled to no one in particular, dodging the harmful rays of sunlight.
The group all looked at each other, uncomfortable looks were flashed to one another.
"So.did you guys break up?" Always could count on Anya to make the noise even more uncomfortable than the silence.
"No, Anya, it was just a fight." She looked pointedly at Spike, "You all right?" She asked him, concern etched into her face.
"Right as rain, pet. Only thing that's hurt in 'm pride." He smiled kindly at her, probably the nicest smile any of the Scoobies had ever seen from him. You could practically see all the female's hearts melt.
"That's.ummm..good." Buffy turned quickly, hiding the rising color in her cheeks.
"Shall we get back to the research? We've had enough interruptions for one day and we still have a demon to find."
Everyone nodded in agreement at Giles' statement, the lives of kitties were at stake.
The rest of the afternoon was spent searching the books for a bio matching the description of a demon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Buffy stared at the book in front of her, the words blurred together in tangle of boringness.
Sighs filled the room, each person wanting to be rid of the books and have some fun. Hell, it didn't have to be fun, noise would do.
"That's it..I can't do this anymore. I vote that we do something different." Xander was the only one with the guts to penetrate the silence. Giles looked at him over the rim of his glasses, a slight glare sent Xander's way.
"Finding this demon is more important that having adolescent fun. People's lives could be at risk for all we know. When the demon is found then you may have your fun." Giles pushed his glasses further up his nose and began searching through pages once more.
"Well, maybe I should patrol. Maybe I'll see him again, or something." Buffy looked desperately at Giles, she was more of an action kind of girl. Giles looked up from his books.
"That sounds like a good idea Buffy," she smiled brightly and stood up quickly, wanting to leave before he changed his mind, "and bring Spike with you."
Buffy turned around and looked into the room. Giles was looking at her expectantly, Willow with sympathy, Xander with apprehension, Anya who's expression gave away nothing. She probably didn't really know what was happening. And last she looked at Spike. A crooked smile was plastered across his face, he was obviously happy at the prospect of killing things, even if they were demon.
Buffy groaned.
"You coming?" She asked Spike, turning once more to the door. Spike smirked, barely holding the comment for an innuendo in his mouth. "Yeah." He slurred to her, following her out into the dark night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The vampire exploded into dust. A lazy, but pleased smile, fell across Spike's face. Buffy looked annoyed.
"Glad you're having fun." She grumbled, she hated giving up a night on patrolling. Her original plan had been to stop by Riley's house and apologize for yelling at him about Spike. Instead she was walking around with said vampire, searching for a demon that didn't want to be found.
"As I recall, Slayer, it was your idea to be out here in the first place. I was jus' doin' as the Watcher asked." Buffy sighed and rolled her eyes. "What? This isn't the perfect evening for you? Killing demons with a demon? 'M disappointed, Summers." He quipped sarcastically, not really appreciating the eye roll.
Buffy stopped in her tracks and looked at him harshly.
"Do you think this is fun for me? Having to work. And this isn't even normal work. I'm a college girl, I should be worrying about term papers and boyfriends. And whether or not I'll get a job after college."
Spike looked at her with amusement.
"It's not funny Spike."
"Never said it was, pet." He looked at her with sympathy, "tell you what, instead of patrolling we can go to the Bronze for a while. I can get me some of those Buffalo Wings and you can dance your pretty head off."
"Who said that I wanted to go with you?"
"Was jus' offerin', but if you don't want to go."
"And Giles won't find out.that I skipped patrol."
"I won't tell 'm."
Buffy smiled gratefully and turned to go towards the Bronze, Spike following close behind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Bronze was full of people. The DJ played a song with a deep beat, vibrating through everyone's bodies.
Buffy and Spike sat across from each other, Spike, shoveling buffalo wings into his mouth. Buffy staring off into the crowd drinking a diet soda.
"You just going to sit there the whole night?" Spike had expected her to leave him as soon as they had gotten to the Bronze. No such thing happened. They'd been sitting there for nearly two hours.
"Was thinking about it."
"Why don't you dance?"
"Maybe because I have no one to dance with!"
A new song came out of the speakers, sounds from a Spanish guitar filled the club.
"Dance with me." Spike told her sincerely. She looked up at him, about to decline when she saw a hopeful look on his face.
"Just one." He took her hand and led her to the floor, pulling her into a tight embrace.
***
*I fell in love with you The moment that we met And till the end of time I never will forget I lose it every time I'm close to you Under your spell you know there's nothing I can do*
***
They swayed softly to the music, just a friendly dance between two people slowly becoming friends. At least that's what Buffy told herself.
***
* Please stay my babe Who knows when we'll dance again No matter what to no regret I'll do all that I can just to get you To stay my babe Who knows when we'll dance again And I don't want to say goodbye But who knows where we'll be after tonight*
***
His hands began drawing random patterns on her back, sending shivers up and down her spine. Her face was in his neck, breathing in his musky scent.
***
* There's nothing stopping us You don't have to go The night is young for us There's more we need to know I lose it every time I'm close to you Under your spell you know there's nothing I can do*
***
Spike softly kissed her temple and held her a little tighter, she never wanted him to let go.
***
* Please stay my babe Who knows when we'll dance again No matter what to no regret I'll do all that I can just to get you To stay my babe Who knows when we'll dance again And I don't want to say goodbye But who knows where we'll be after tonight*
***
She hugged his torso a little tighter, her head on his shoulder. *I can never put my head on Riley's shoulder* She thought to herself.
***

As the song came to an end, Buffy pulled away slightly and looked up into his bright blue eyes. She smiled at him and he began to lean in for a kiss.
"Buffy?! What the hell are you doing?!" The voice of Riley Finn screeched at her, interrupting the moment.
Buffy pulled away quickly from Spike looking very guilty.
"Buffy, I think we need to talk." Riley seethed, shooting daggers over to Spike. Buffy nodded solemnly, glancing over at Spike.
Without saying anything he knew what she was asking.
..Don't tell them we came to the Bronze...
...Tell them we found Riley while on patrol and that's where I am...
And that's what Spike would tell them. He ate one last buffalo wing as Riley pulled Buffy from the bronze.
