What I Want

Chapter 9

Two weeks later

Buffy stared up at the sessions times at the Sunnydale movie complex. The gang was arguing behind her. This was the second week they had attended the cinemas and the second week they were all arguing. Buffy smiled at them. She had become close friends with them already. Willow and Tara were great, Anya was a little strange, Xander was funny and Spike was, well Buffy hadn't quite figured out what Spike was. He was really nice and sweet and hadn't made things awkward after the kisses at The Bronze. Dawn seemed to really love Spike and was always asking him to come over. She would then generally retreat to her room saying she had homework leaving, Buffy with Spike. Not that Buffy minded. Buffy turned her attention back to arguing friends.

"Xander I am not seeing some girly movie. I want to see Robotic Attractions," Anya complained.

"Anya we all have to decide on what we want to see."

"But Xander its got sex in it" Anya whined.

"We wanna see Robotic Attractions," Xander said jumping up and down.

Willow walked over to Buffy "So what do you want to see," Willow asked.

Buffy sighed. "Well I was thinking about seeing Glorified."

"Really what's that about?"

"A girl who's lost and trying to find her way home. Apparently it's like this huge metaphor for life and everyone can relate to it or something."

"That's sounds interesting," Willow said sarcastically.

Buffy sighed. "Why, what do you want to see?"

"The Werewolf in Oz, there's this really hot guy in it," Willow said excitably.

"And I suppose Tara wants to see it too, hey I thought you to were lesbians."

Willow nodded. "We are, we just want to look, not touch."

Buffy turned to the group. "So we decided what were going to see."

"I want to see Robotic Attractions" Anya whined.

"I am not seeing bloody Robotic Attractions," Spike complained. "I mean how pathetic is this guy, he's so in love with a girl who doesn't give him the time of day. Making a robot in her likeness and using her as a sex toy is not my kind of movie."

"But Xander I don't want to see anything else."

Buffy sighed. "Anya just go see the movie we will see something else and meet up later"

"Are you sure Buffy?" Anya asked

Buffy shrugged. "Hey it's not like we can talk in the movie anyway"

"Is that alright with you guys," Xander asked

Everyone else nodded; they didn't want to be exposed to sex capades of Anya and Xander in the cinemas.

"Cool so what are you guys going to see" Xander asked

"The Werewolf in Oz, its sounds great" Tara said excitably.

Spike shrugged. "Yeah I guess that will have to bloody do."

"Hey Spike why don't you see a movie with Buffy instead," Willow supplied. "She didn't want to see this movie anyway."

Spike shrugged. "What did you want to see Buffy?"

"Glorified, but you don't have to see it if you don't want to. I am sure The Werewolf in Oz will be thrilling."

Spike looked around and saw a Glorified poster with a not bad looking girl on the front.

"Nah I'll see it, it sounds good."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I wanted to see it anyway."

Buffy smiled "Really"

Spike nodded.

"Well umm we better get our tickets the movie starts in twenty minutes"

"Umm alright, guess I see you guys later, meet up at the pizza place"

Buffy and Spike walked off with the two couples watching. Spike turned and saw the gang giving him the thumbs up.

"Well that was a shock," Buffy said coming out of the cinemas two hours later.

Spike was laughing so hard his face was red. "I was expecting a chick flick; I wasn't excepting the chick to turn out to be a bloke."

"It was kinda sad. She, or should I say he, gets almost home, and then dies at the hands of a man who wasn't accepting of his situation."

"Yeah well I guess that teaches you not to pretend to be something you're not, you know don't hide your past."

"What's that supposed to mean," Buffy snapped.

"Hey I was talking about the movie, luv, there's no need to snap."

Buffy looked down embarrassed. "Sorry."

"That's ok, come on lets get some pizza into you."

Spike placed his hand on Buffys back and led her out of the cinema. That was about as close as Spike had got to Buffy the whole night. They had sat in a corner seat with no one sitting next to them, but Buffy had been too engrossed in the film to notice Spikes subtle hints of placing his arm above the seat and inching it down. Spike and Buffy walked into the pizza place and looked around.

"Can't see the gang luv," Spike said smiling. "Why don't you grab a table and I'll get us some pizza."

Buffy nodded then went to find a table. The only one big enough was a round booth so Buffy slid in and moved around to the middle. A few minutes later Spike came to the table holding two drinks in his hand and resting two plates on his right arm. Spike put one of the glasses down and took the plates off his arm.

"Thanks," Buffy said grabbing a plate and a glass.

Spike slid into the booth next to Buffy. Buffy and Spike then proceeded to pick the pineapple off Buffys pizza.

"Hey Buffy, hey Spike," Willow said sliding into the booth next to Buffy.

"Hello, is Xander with you," Buffy asked.

"Hi Buffy, you miss me," Xander said sliding in next to Spike.

Buffy waved, then continued to pick the pineapple off with Spike.

Xander and Willow looked at the pair. "Umm Buffy, why are you and Spike picking the pineapple off your pizza," Willow asked.

"Because I don't like pineapple on a pizza," Buffy said not looking up from her work.

"So why don't you order it without," Xander asked.

"Cause Spike likes the pineapple," Buffy said tipping the pineapple on to Spikes plate.

Willow and Xander looked at the pair surprised.

"What?" she asked looking up.

"Nothing" Willow asked

"How did you know Spike likes pineapple?" Xander asked. "We haven't had pizza before with you"

Buffy took a huge bite of her pizza. "Oh Spike came over last Friday. Giles and Joyce had a meeting"

"Really" Xander asked. "I thought you were grounded and you dad wouldn't let you out Spike. That's why you had to break our plans"

Buffy looked between Xander and Spike.

"Hey guys," Tara said sitting down at the table with Anya following. "What's up?"

Xander smiled. "Spike is just explaining why he was at Buffys house last Friday, when he told me he was grounded for smoking in the house again."

Everyone looked at Spike, including Buffy. "Well me dad grounded me, but then he didn't like the idea that Joyce wasn't home to so he sent me over."

Buffy smiled. "Isn't he the sweetest?" Buffy then tickled him in the ribs. Spike wasn't going to take that and began to tickle her back. The group looked at each other and raised their eyes brows.

"Wow you to seem close" Willow said breaking up there tickle fight.

The pair broke apart. What was Willow implying?

"Yeah well Spike here is practically my best friend," Buffy said giving him another a little tickle. "With you guys always making out, Spike and I always get through together."

Spike looked at Buffy in shock. "You really think of me as your best friend?"

Buffy suddenly felt embarrassed. "Umm yeah why, is that a big guy no, no?"

Spike shook his head. "No I was just surprised that's all."

"You shouldn't be. I mean to me, a best friend is someone who you hang out with heaps and have common interest. Your always at my house for one reason or another and we both have a common interest in not wanting to see them always kissing," she said pointing at the two couples kissing madly.

Spike smiled. "Well I guess we are best friends then."

Buffy nodded before going back to her Pineapple free pizza. When they had all, finished their dinner, they all bid farewell and began to make their way home. Spike, of course, took Buffy.

"Thanks for seeing Glorified with me," Buffy said when Spike pulled up to her house.

Spike shook his head. "Not a problem luv. I actually did enjoy it. I just can't get over the girl being a bloke; I actually thought she was hot."

Buffy laughed. "Well we know how bad your taste in women is."

Spike nodded in silent agreement.

"Well bye" Buffy said opening the car door. "Oh and thanks again," she said placing a light kiss on his cheek.

Buffy got out of the car and walked to her house, leaving Spike holding his cheek.

Spike stared at Buffys retreating form before starting the car. He waved goodbye to Buffy as she walked into the house then drove off quickly to his home. He needed to take a long cold shower. Buffy meanwhile had run up to her room and threw herself on her bed. Grabbing Mr. Gordo, Buffy hugged him tight, she had kissed spike.
