Opening the heavy door with the kick of his foot, Spike walked into Faye's room. 'Only if this were part of the light room…' He thought as he trudged over to her bed and laid Faye down on her back placing her on her back and pulling the blankets over her body covering everything except her neck and head.
Staring at her for a moment or two, Spike looked gazed a Faye, wondering what had shaken her up so much. "Don't leave me… You can't go yet, don't leave me!"
Faye screamed sitting up tears falling from her closed eyes as she grabbed a hold of Spike's arm and dragged him down with her as she flopped back down. "What the, get off of me woman!" He hissed trying his hardest not to wake her up. Spike had managed to roll over top of her and onto the bed unharmed except for the fact that Faye had a death grip on his arm and refused to let go. 'This isn't what I need today…' Spike groaned falling onto his back and giving up. He let his hand run through his green mop of hair quickly, before looking back at Faye. She was crying in her sleep. Spike frowned and looked away trying to ignore it, but for some reason, he hated to admit it, he was being drawn to her…
Spike rolled onto his side and Faye murmured something, the tears still not subsiding. Looking at her with questioning eyes he watched her cry. Placing his right arm on her head he let his fingers run through her slightly damp locks. He yawned and felt his eyes growing heavy. 'No, I can't fall asleep, sleep is bad, and I will not fall asleep!' Spike widened his eyes trying to stay awake, but sleep soon took over and with a little sigh he drifted off his free hand falling onto her stomach and his head slightly onto her left upper shoulder… 'I… I won't fall asleep.'

"It's time Faye got a lesson from the Red Dragons…" Michael staggered through the dark hall. The passage was almost pitch-black except from the fire red tip of his cigarette placed in his mouth.
"Ha, yes;" Nathan faked a laugh, seeming to be amused. "Or not Michael. You should go to bed and let little brother take charge tonight; I think you've one too many…" Nathan's face was blank except for his cold distant eyes.
"Will you shud` up already?! Do this do that is that all you got to say to me?! I'm your big brother damn it, and it's time you treat me as such!" Michael felt his vision blur as he fell to the ground in a heap passing out.
"I warned you didn't I?" Nathan smiled clapping his hands together. A signal to the help. Three men came, picked up Nathan's brother, and carried him to his room.
--------------
"Don't…" Faye mumbled again before waking up. Keeping her eyes closed she noted the fact that something didn't feel right. 'When did I suddenly grow another arm?!' Faye opened her eyes to find her head resting on top of an open hand. Slightly disturbed she jerked upwards only to find another on her stomach just below her ribcage. She closed her green eyes again and swallowed the lump in her throat afraid, yet at the same time wanting to know what was sleeping next to her. Opening one eye she slowly turned and faced a blob of green hair and a tanned face sleeping ever so soundly next to her.
Faye inhaled a breath in shock when she noticed it was the green haired lunk-head. Anger boiling inside her she slapped him in the face waking him up with a scare. "What the hell?!" Spike shouted placing his hand to his cheek. "Uh!" Spike's jaw dropped when he noticed it was Faye who had struck him. "Oh crap, I fell asleep?!" Spike was at the moment confused and making Faye almost feel the same way.
"What, you just wanted to watch me sleep?!" Faye looked at Spike with a disgusted look on her face.
"I, no! You're the one who started screaming and crying in her sleep. You did the death grip thing on my arm which you found so nice to sleep on, and would not move in the least. Thanks to you I don't know weather I will ever regain feeling in my arm… You were crying, I thought I'd just let you sleep it off. I didn't mean to nod off." Spike sighed as he felt the pins and needles in his arm begin to pain his arm.
"Out… Get out now Spike." Faye's hands began to tremble as she felt the hot tears begin to form in her eyes again.
"Can't you at least let me talk?" Spike crawled over Faye without a fight and stood by her bedside.
"What is there to talk about? You know nothing about me and you expect me to open up to you like a flower in the morning sun?! Get out of here this is my room!" Faye let the tears fall over her eyes pain aching in her heart.
"For one this is not your ship, and two what if I said I wasn't going to leave?" Spike smirked flopping down to the hard, chilled floor and crossed his legs.
"Why you persistent little—"
"Go ahead babe, say all you want, but I'm not going to budge from this spot. Kick me, shoot me, and do what you want with me… I'm not leaving and that's that." Spike smiled brightly, contented with himself.
Faye gritted her teeth together. 'Fine, you want to play with fire? Let's play with fire.' Faye sighed pouting. "I… Oh Spike, I'm sorry!" She flew off the bed wrapping her arms around his neck and sending him onto his back flinching in pain. "It's just I couldn't take it anymore. You have to save me." Faye looked into Spike's eyes sending a chill down his spine as she drew her face towards his neck and ear. "Protect me… Be… My hero." Faye pushed her body against his frame making him tense up before pushing her hand into his face and stepping on him. Smirking as he shouted in pain she stood up and walked out of the room into the kitchen to ask Jet for a bite to eat.
"You…" Spike clenched his fists together. 'Why'd I let my guard down? That demon was able to slip away from my grasp because of it!' Spike sighed letting his head fall back as he pictured it again in his mind. 'Protect me… More like I'm the one who needs to be protected.'
-------------
Faye smiled still content as she walked into the cramped kitchen. "Ummm…" She looked around.
"Yes?" Jet poked his head in from the living room.
"Do you have anything to eat?" Faye walked over to the kitchen and opened it only to find a gun and some expired milk.
"There might be some noodles still in the pot. Where is Spike?" Jet smirked as he turned on the news.
"Oh, him. Uhh, he's recovering from his injuries…" Faye smirked again only to find a shadowed figure behind her.
"Boo…" Spike growled.
"I mean, here he is…" Faye smiled lightly patting him on the head as she scooped some noodles into a bowl by the pot. "Would you be able to take me to my apartment tomorrow? We'd have to go underwater, but this big rig can pull it off. It was designed for the water to begin with after all."
"We haven't done that yet, but I guess we'll be able to pull it off so you can grab some of your belongings." Jet smiled as Spike stomped into the room and flopped down on the couch.
"I refuse to be apart of this." Spike scuffed sticking his nose into the air and looking away from Faye.
"Really cowboy… Because when we were in my room you were singing a different tune." Faye smirked as she walked around the other side of the couch and let her index finger twirl though a lock of his hair.
"Oh, you little!" Spike growled sending him after her his plate falling to the ground.
"Eiiahh!" Faye screamed handing Jet her plate and bolting for the nearest room with a door.
'Hmmm… No, you don't like her; you're just obsessing over everything she says…' Jet sighed and turned the chancel to find Hot Shots. A show showing the bounties on people and how much their wreath.
"Stop it!" Faye screamed laughing as she slammed her door shut and locking it. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth quickly and went to the corner of her room hiding. 'I can't… He'll kill them; if he knew that I was even happy he'd kill them…' Faye let the tears well up again as Spike managed to get her door.
"That's it!" Spike laughed for once then silenced himself again when he noticed she was crying. 'What the hell did I do, I didn't scare her that bad did I?'
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, he'll, he'll kill all of us!" Faye brought her knees to her chest and rocked back and forth holding back the pain inside.
Spike's nose crinkled up and he cocked his head to one side in question still confused. 'How the hell will whoever know we were laughing?!' Spike walked over and bent down next to Faye and looked at her with an emotionless face. "I stopped." Spike whispered tilting his head to one side again.
Faye looked up at Spike starring into his two toned brown eyes.
"I lost it in an accident…" Spike murmured when he noticed her staring in confusion. "They couldn't match them up exactly so one eye is lighter then the other.
Faye's cheeks reddened lightly in embarrassment when Spike had noticed her starring. "I… I'm—"
"No need to be sorry, I'd stare at you too." Spike smirked shaking his head. "It's almost ten, you're probably tired, get some rest, we'll get your things in the morning." Spike offered her his hand and helped her stand up before giving her one more quick glance and walking out of her room closing the door behind him.
"Goodnight…" Faye sighed before she crawled into bed and drifted off into a dream filled sleep.
'Be my hero? Who the hell says lame things like that anyway?!' Spike suddenly dawned on Faye's words earlier. "Hero… Ha, that's a laugh." Spike leaned against Faye's door cracking his neck with the effortless move his shoulder.
