Morning broke, burning the night away on this sleepy summer day in Sunnydale. The darkness still lingered there, retreating into the shadows as the dawn grew brighter and warmer with each passing moment. A few birds chirping away in a shaggy brown nest in the large oak tree outside Alpert Crypt barely even disturbed the sleeping couple within.
First one eye and then the other opened as spike stirred from his peaceful slumber with a groggy sort of yawn and a quick, cat-like stretch. He smiled a small, pointy smile as he realized that his lover still lay comfortably draped in the cool embrace of his arms, her head still lingered against his chest, just where she had drifted off the night before.
Spike leaned forward a bit to softly kiss her forehead, his hands stroking through her long, dark mane of hair*

Buffy sighed with a smile of contentment as she walked barefoot through the cemetery, her glitter-jelly, Pink Panther flip flops in one hand, the other holding the bronze-lensed sunglasses she bought to bring out the honey tints in her skin. She had always loved this time of day, when the air still held a dense fog that hugged the ground in great fluffy clouds of grey and white and the grass on her patrol path was still dewey and cool beneath her bare feet. It was the perfect time of day, no cares, no worries, just a cool breeze and beautiful sunshine.
Buffy had walked through this cemetery almost every single morning since she was sixteen years old, sometimes out of necessity, sometimes for the pure pleasure that came with walking here, but today she had a purpose. Today she would finally make a decision about this Spike issue once and for all. Today she would finally return his affection.
This wasn't a decision the Slayer had rushed into with any sort of ease, she had spent countless hours, days even, of soul searching, asking herself the same questions over and over again - Why Spike? Why did she always seem to confide in him first, even when Riley and her mother were still in the picture? Why was she always more eager to spend time with Spike then she was with her best friends or even her sister? Why did she let Spike do the things he did to her sexually? Why did making love to him feel so.....right? It was more than lust, she knew that now. More than the elevation that comes with being wanted so very badly. The answer had been clear and simple, all she had to do was admit it to herself - she loved him.
It wasn't what she and Angel had shared, nor was it the sort of bond she'd had with Riley, but it was a sort of love just the same. She was even sure she could get passed his many flaws, which he wouldn't have for long because she could change that, she knew she could change HIM.
Yes she could be tolerent of his vulgarness, his drinking problems, his control issues and lack of self-control and, yes, she could even look the other way when it came to his disgusting smoking habit. Luckily Buffy had found that she could always be the bigger person and let these and other character flaws go without much subject-dwelling.
Buffy smiled to herself at the simple thought of how happy this single suprise visit would make the vampire who had spent almost three years, and who knows how long before that, pining over her day and night.
Buffy sighed as she finally came upon the ancient building, hesitating just a moment before pushing the heavy vaulted door to swing open and slipping quietly inside.
"Spike? Uh..." She corrected herself, feeling it better to use his real name for this particular meeting. "William? Are you her-...oh....oh my...god...!"
---------------------------------
Spike smiled down at the woman clutching to him adoringly, his fingertips gently stroking a few dark strands of hair from in front of her eyes.
"Mmmm.....'luv you, kitten...." He mumbled in a tender kiss against the smooth skin of her jaw as she opened her eyes*
With an adoring smile, Spike greeted his lover with a morning kiss, deep but tender, his hands caressing her soft skin as they slowly moved up her spine*
"Spike? Uh..." The two lovers were torn away from their gentle exploration by the shrill sound of Buffy's voice behind them "William? Are you her-...oh....oh my...god...!" Exclaimed the blonde Slayer, horrified and hurt at the scene before her.
"Buffy..." Spike mumbled in quiet shock, still clinging lovingly to his girl.
"What....what the helll is..." Buffy's words are becoming hard to understand as she tries to choke back her tears.
Spike couldn't help but lock even more shocked as Buffy began to back away, heading towards the crypt door....she had to get out of there.
"Buff....wait..." Buffy was halted in her tracks as the girl in Spike's embrace turned to look at her, enabling Buffy to now recognize her*
"Faith...?" Buffy angrily asked in disbelief. "FAITH?"
"Yeah, that'd be me.." With a sigh, Faith tried to answer light heartedly to the now psychotically pissed off Slayer in their midst. "Been a long time Buff...how ya bee-"
But Buffy cut her off, she wasn't about to let Faith put the charm whammy on her AGAIN. "Don't....alright? Just....don't..you shouldn't have come back Faith. Not now.....not in my town....this....ugh...big mistake.." With those parting words, Buffy slipped out of the crypt, slamming the door shut behind her, to sort of punctuate her evil.
"Oh....balls.." Spike sighed, glancing helplessly at the dingy, grey ceiling, coaxing Faith back into his arms. He knw all to well that they had a war on their hands....
TO BE CONTINUED.
