A/N: I'm so happy, I think I'll dance in circles. Or maybe give Spike a
hug. Or give Greg Smith a hug.though you all don't know who that is. (He's
the star football, b-ball, and baseball player at my high school. If you
ever saw him you'd want to hug him too.) And the Home Shopping Network
thing? Well, Fearless Leader and I are convinced that there's some secret
code for males only. What is up with guys liking the Home Shopping Network
anyway? I don't understand the fascination..
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy and Willow walked hand in hand as they made their way down the dark sidewalk to Giles' house.
It had become their hang out spot as of late. There weren't any baddies to research tonight. So Buffy and Willow both thought it'd be fun to turn this night into a movie night. They had called Xander and told him to bring one too.
When they got there Xander was just pulling in, Anya in the seat next to him. The both got out of the car, though only Xander had a movie. But that was ok, everyone was just a little scared of what Anya would bring anyway.
The four of them entered Giles' house to find Spike and Giles lounging on the couch. Each with some form of alcohol in hand and watching the Home Shopping Network. Xander got a 'kid in a candy store' look on his face and sat himself down next to Giles., watching the screen intently.
The man on the screen was holding up a butterfly made of glass. Their eyes were glazed over.
"I need this." Spike announced. Every male in the room nodded at this.
"I have so many places I could put this." Giles reasoned with himself, trying to memorize the phone number on the screen.
"And its so pretty." Xander finally said. The Watcher and the Vampire nodded at this as well.
Buffy, Willow, and Anya exchanged glances.
Anya picked up the remote and turned off the TV. Gasps from the men filled the room.
"Bloody hell! I was watching that." Giles stood, looking slightly peeved.
"You didn't even let us find out about the 'New Wonder Clock' they were going to show next." Spike pouted. Buffy realized that she liked it when Spike pouted.
Xander was still watching the TV, it was almost like he had been hypnotized.
"Xander...Woooo... Hooooo.." Anya waved a hand in front of his face.
That was enough to snap him out of his trance. He shook his head and looked around the room. A confused expression covered his face.
"What happened?"
Anya hugged Xander tightly.
"It'll be all right."
Xander hugged her back, still confused but decided not to say any more.
Willow held up the movie she brought.
"Anyone feel up to watching "When Harry Met Sally"?"
Everyone settled into comfortable positions.
Giles moved over to the chair.
Xander and Anya were on the floor in front of the couch.
Willow was at one end of the couch, all snuggled up with a blanket.
That left only one other blanket.
And both Spike and Buffy wanted to use it.
Spike already had it wrapped around himself. When he saw Buffy give him a annoyed look and then shiver slightly, he lifted up the blanket and motioned for her to join him.
Buffy smiled and snuggled up next to Spike. She was happy for the excuse to do so.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The movie had been great. They laughed.they cried..there was so much greatness.
Giles looked at everyone in the room to find them all asleep. Apparently he had been the only one to stay awake for the whole thing. He turned off the movie and then the TV.
He took one last group and went up the stairs to his room.
Willow was still snuggled up in her blanket on her end of the couch.
Xander and Anya were leaning against each other on the floor.
Buffy and Spike still under their shared blanket. Buffy was practically in his lap, her face oh his shoulder.
It was a great night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The morning, however, was not so much so.
Riley had barged though the door. Which was breaking and entering, mind you.
This had awoken Willow, Anya, and for the most part Xander. He was still confused from just having woken up in another place besides his bed.
When Riley saw Buffy sleeping on Spike's lap, he almost had a stroke.
"What the HELL is THIS????!!!!" He screeched, waking them both up and making dogs bark with in a one mile vicinity. He pointed and Buffy and Spike.
Buffy jumped out of Spike's lap looking very guilty. Spike just looked frustrated. And he felt cold after the warm body of Buffy had left him.
"That wasn't what it looked like." Buffy pleaded.
"Then what was it?" Riley demanded, crossing his arms in front of him.
"Well, we watched a movie and Spike and I both wanted the blanket and he offered to share."
"And you couldn't have shared with Willow?" He gestured to the blanket that Willow held around herself.
"It isn't big enough for two." Willow said sheepishly, not really helping all that much.
"So you're cheating on me?" Riley said calmly, his eyes were cold
"Now you're jumping to conclusions." Buffy said back to him.
"Am I?"
"What about you with your 'Sorry I can't make it.I have other things to do'.and all your changing of plans at the last second. That used to never happen before."
"Well, things have gotten a but busier at the Initiative lately. I haven't had much time."
"Since when does getting sucked on by whore vamps become Initiative work ?" Spike finally said, looking at Riley with hatred.
"WHAT?!" Buffy yelled...her thinking that he had been cheating on her hadn't been too far off.
Xander and Willow looked at each other and then at the front door longingly.
"I have found that being bitten by a vampire in the height of sexual release is most gratifying." Anya nodded thoughtfully. Xander grimaced
"Well, what else could I do? You weren't doing anything for me. So I found what I could."
Buffy gave Riley a cold, angry, and disgusted look all at once.
"Get out." Buffy couldn't look at him anymore.
Riley did just the opposite and got into her face.
"Though you would've realized that something was wrong if you hadn't been so busy fucking Spike." Riley said in a hushed tone. Even though it had been a whisper, everyone in the room had heard.
That was probably because everyone else in the room was holding their breath.
Buffy punched him in the stomach, and when his head was in the right position she punched in the nose. He flew back from the momentum. He clutched the bleeding nose with his hands.
"You bitch." He seethed through his hands.
"And you're a whore Riley. Get out.I don't want to see you ever again. Don't talk to me, don't talk to my friends. And stay the hell away from Spike." Buffy turned around and looked at Spike. He smiled encouragingly.
Riley scowled and walked out the door and out of Buffy's life.
Giles walked down the steps after a good night's sleep. He noticed the angry looks on all their faces.
"What'd I miss?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: That was fun. Riley and Buffy should break up more often. Be happy.Give Spike a hug
