Spike pulled away, and a wave of silence fell over him and Faye as he stared at her with that spark in his eyes. But this time it didn't go away. It just became more and more intense. Faye still couldn't believe it. She was mixed with anger, and then the urge just to fall into his warm embrace and never leave his side again.
Spike closed his eyes and smiled. "Let's go." He murmured taking a hold of Faye's hand and guiding her back into the room.
--------------
"You've got a pretty nasty cut on your arm sir… But you'll be fine." Waters bandaged Vicious's arm.
"Hmmm… I slid up against the wall when I was falling." Vicious grimaced as he pictured the scene again. He was so close to killing Faye when Jet had burst into the picture.
"Try to be more careful next time; we can't afford to pay for a funeral…"
--------------
'I kissed her.' Spike lit up a cigarette as they crossed the street.
'He kissed me.' Faye let her hand touch her lips as she looked at Spike out of the corner of her eye.
'What did he do now?' Jet shook his head. 'Don't get involved, you're just going to end up regretting it.'
"Jet… Why are Spike and Faye-Faye all quite?" Ed whispered into Jet's ear.
"Never mind that it's nothing… If Spike decides he is going to spend more time with Faye," Jet tried to think how he should put this. "Just, come and sleep in Spike's bed, alright?"
"Uh huh, uh huh." Ed laughed happily. "Jet has my computer anyways."
--------------------
Spike stood talking to his friend when he heard the beep of his father's car. "Uhh… Got to go, I'll talk to you later Vicious!" Spike waved as he jumped into the car.
"See ya!" Vicious gestured a goodbye wave and went with a few other guys from school.
"So how was school?" His father smiled.
"Hmm… It was fine I guess." Spike smiled, pulling out his test in math. "Another hundred." Spike laughed handing his father the paper as he drove down the street.
"That's great son!" He looked down and then back up quickly making sure there was nothing in the rode and looked down again.
"Yeah, Vicious got a fifty," Spike mumbled as a car pulled out quickly in front of their car. "Dad!" Spike yelled as his dad dropped the test paper swerving the car to the right jumping the guardrail.
--------------
The elevator opened and Spike and Faye walked out quickly. Jet and Ed slightly ahead of them. Faye stopped at her door and fumbled for the key. Jet looked at Spike quickly guiding Ed into the other room and handing her, her lap top.
Spike stopped in front of Faye. She stopped moving, and turned around looking into his eyes. One slightly lighter then the other. "Things are getting weird aren't they?" Spike looked at her blankly.
Faye just closed her eyes as a small smile formed on her lips. "Is it such a bad thing?" Spike pushed her against the door and kissed her full on the lips, as the old woman walked by with her husband again.
"How rude!" She shouted as her husband pushed her along.
"Yes Harriet."
Faye's hand fumbled for the room door as Spike caressed her neck and wrapped his arm around her waist and opened the door with other. "Faye?" Spike pulled away for a moment.
"Hmm?" Faye looked with a dazed perplexity in her eyes.
"Are we going to regret this?" Spike let his hand sweep over her face.
"I won't…" She said coyly. "You owe me two hundred by the way Spiegal."
Spike chuckled. "Darn and I thought I would get out of it." He teased as he closed the door with a kick of his foot and walked Faye over to her bed, and whispered words that Faye never thought would leave his lips. "I love you…" Spike kissed her again as his hand hit the light switch.
"Spike…" Faye whispered.
-------------
Sun came through a window and lit up the once dark room. Faye lay asleep, her head resting on Spike's chest her one arm draping over him. Spike opened his eyes and blinked a few times getting used to his surroundings. He looked down at Faye and smiled. 'I don't regret it…' He gingerly put her arm back and got out of bed without disturbing her and got dressed after taking a quick shower. "I'll be back in a bit…" Spike mumbled.
Faye murmured Spike's name and rolled over hugging her pillow. 'I won't ever leave you…' He thought brushing a stray hair away from her eyes.
Hanging by a Moment
By: Lifehouse
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I Started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
Now.. I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing left to fight
There's nothing in the world that can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I Started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
I don't know what I'm driving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment..
Hanging by a moment...
Just hanging by a moment here with you…

"No damn it! Let me see him!" Tears streamed down Spike's face as two men held Spike back.
"We, can't he's in to critical of a state!" A woman came out of the room. "We'll be done with the tests in an hour, you can see him then, alright?"
Spike glared at the woman. "They never let me see my mother either, and when they did, she was already dead!" Spike was about to blow a gasket.
"Listen, I've done all I can… I can ashore you though that he will still be alive when you get to see him. How much longer… I don't know if he'll make it through the night." The woman sighed. "You're what, fourteen?"
"Fifteen." Spike said flatly.
"You're old enough to call the people you want to come and see your father, even if it's after visiting hours… Why don't you call some family and friends over and you can talk to them, okay?"
"Yeah…" Spike pulled away from the men. "If I had any family left… My uncle jumped off a building blaming himself for my mother's death, my grandparents all died in the gate incidents. I have no brothers or sisters. I'm all alone now!" Spike screamed falling to his knees. Vicious pushed passed a guard and ran over to Spike.
"Are you alright?!"
"Vicious?" Spike looked up at his friend.
"Samantha told me what happened just a little while ago," Vicious saw the gash on Spike's far head. "How bad is he?"
Spike flinched. "Not good."
Vicious frowned and hugged his best friend. "I'm sure he'll be alright man, he's always alright." Vicious smiled messing up Spike's hair.
--------------
"Have fun?" Jet grimaced at Spike as he came into the room.
Spike just hummed to himself quietly as he grabbed his wallet. "You want anything? I'm going to go buy some food."
"With what? You spent all of the money practically!"
"Yeah, not all of it." Spike laughed.
"Spike!" Jet shouted waking up Ed, and Ein.
"I'll make sure to get you something!"
"Ed wants Danish!"
"Sure thing!" Spike shouted and ran out of the room closing the door behind him.
'I can't believe it…' Jet shook his head. "Who knew he'd fall head over for Faye?"
------------
Faye groaned slightly as the sun fell on her face. She turned away and opened her eyes. "Hmm… Spike?" She looked around and he was no where in sight. "Where'd he go?" She fell back and sighed slightly. "It was going to be just a bet, but… Now I want it to be something more." Faye sat back up and rubbed her face with her hands feebly as she stood up and took a shower.
I love you… The words echoed though Faye's mind. 'Does he really? What if we do end up regretting it?' Faye let the warm water run over her body. She pictured him with her. Forever. Never being apart. Really, they did already fight like an old couple. She could still feel the warmth of his body against hers. Holding her… "I'm in love with him." Faye's eyes opened as someone's head popped into the bathroom.
"Oh, sorry Faye-Faye…" Ed closed the door quickly shut.
---------------
"Samurai bakery?" Spike looked at the place blankly and then decided what the heck. In the store was what appeared to be a man with blonde hair and had a navy kimono on…
"Hello, may I help you?" The man turned around and Spike's world came to a crashing halt."
"ANDY?!"
"YOU?!" Andy pointed and the neighing of a horse was heard in the background.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Spike was still shocked.
"I told you I wasn't going to be a cowboy… So instead I'm a samurai."
"That owns a bakery?" Spike mumbled.
"I… So I like to cook!" Andy shouted back. "And my name is Moshashi! Not Andy."
Spike held back spits of laughter. "Moo… Moshashi?!" He couldn't hold it in any more and almost died from laughter. "The getup's bad enough, but Moshashi?!"
"Erra! Who asked you?! Now, stop or get out of my store!" There was a deadly silence and then Spike finally stood up.
"What's your best?"
"The Karate bun." Andy smiled proud of his work on the first shelf.
"Alright… I will take three Danish, six donates, and three coffees, and one orange juice to go." Spike red off the list.
"God, your going to eat all that?!"
"It's not just for me MOOOshashi." Spike glared.
"Who is it for?!"
"Faye, Jet, Ed, Ein, and I!"
--------------
"Sir, the camera's outside Faye's room picked up something interesting last night…" Water's put the disk in the recorder and played the events. Spike kissing Faye…
The veins on Vicious's neck seemed to pop out as he watched the film, the old people passing by and them slamming the door shut. "Well, we know Spike's weak spot for sure now… The bitch."
"Yes, sir. What are we going to do about it?"
"I'll tell you in a little while." Vicious rewound the tape and played it over and over again.
--------------
Spike walked over to Faye's door and knocked gently and entered. 'Hope I didn't wake her up…' Faye wasn't in her bed. Then he heard the sound of running water. 'Hmm, shower.' Spike placed the bag of food on what was Ed's bed and flopped down, turning on the Clear Screen.
"Early yesterday morning three bodies were still unidentified, but today our UIB's have names. They are, James Maglochlan, John Hackmon, and we seem to have a no last namer here folks, the woman was identified just as Julia."
Spike frowned and quickly changed the canal and started watching some horror movie witch later turned of to be Jason sixty… 'Didn't they start making these movies way before my great grandparents were alive?'
Faye stepped out of the bathroom in a towel to see Spike watching some movie on the CS. "Hey." Faye smiled as he turned around blushing when he saw her. She walked over and sat next to him as he sat up. "Where'd you go?"
"Oh, the bakery… Uhh it's a long story."
"I've got you wrapped around my finger already do I?"
"Hmm…" He smiled leaning forward and kissing her again. "Guess who owns it."
"How should I know?"
"He has a horse. Had his own brand of stew…"
"Oh my god! ANDY?!" Faye screeched as she held the towel around her with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
"Yeah, except he goes my Moshashi now…" Spike started to laugh again.
"You're kidding? He changed his name?"
"And opened a bakery…" Spike pointed to the bag.
"Samurai Bakery!" Faye stood up and walked over opening the bag. "It smells like its safe."
"Yeah, I thought I'd let you try it first, make sure it's safe."
"Oh thanks…" Faye smugly remarked.
"Look both love birds are awake…" Jet smiled as he walked into the room then noticing Faye only in a towel turned around. "Uhh… Could you get dressed?"
"Eii!" She ran into the bathroom grabbing what she needed first.
"She lets you see her in a towel too now… Well, I guess things are going to be a little harder now." Jet moaned again.
"Shouldn't you be slightly happy for me?"
"No, you fell in love with a partner. Now whenever you two go after a bounty you'll be more worried about her then you will the bounty!" Jet let go of what was bothering him. "That's why I've been in a crappy mood, and that's why I'm not God damn happy for you kid!"
Spike just stared at Jet. He was right, in a way. Faye always had away to get out of things though, and a way to get him out of things… "Hmmm… Just let fate take its course Jet, if things change, then they'll change. Do you want to keep being a bounty hunter your whole life? I know that's not what I had in plan." Spike stood up and walked over to a window. 'I didn't plan on falling for Faye either… But.'
"No, I didn't plan on that. I planed to go to Earth. Live there, maybe even find someone of my own." Spike's eyes widened slightly. But he acted cool and flopped back down on the bed. "But not now, I was thinking about it though. Maybe I'll go in a year or two. Who knows…?"
"True…" Spike's mind suddenly blanked on Julia. "You know, we should do funeral arrangements today." Spike mumbled as Faye came out.
"Yeah." Jet said taking his donate.
"Hmm, all I know is I'm hungry, and Spike wanted me to be the poison tester. At least I would die happy." She turned to Spike and smiled slightly. All he did was give her that distant look again. The kind that cuts right though you. 'Spike, you've got to get yourself out of this. Guess I hit a nerve with the death stuff…' She frowned and took a bight of the Apple Danish she fell upon. "Hey, you okay? I was just joking, see I'm fine." She brushed her hand against his cheek and looked at him worriedly.
"Hmm… I know." Spike smiled slightly. "Hey, before we go to make arrangements, you want to stop and see my mom and dad?" Spike looked at her and smiled.
"I…" She thought that over for a moment. "Sure." Faye's face brightened. "What are you eating?"
"Just grab me a Danish."
"Ed wants one too!" She laughed chasing after Ein.
'Well, those two have changed… A lot.' Jet smiled giving up.
--------------
Three hours had past. The sun hung over the musty sky lingering its heat over the population of Mars. Tempters rose to over a hounded degrees. Spike put the air on full as Faye and he were squeezed into the Swordfish two. "Could you move your butt?" Spike mumbled being pushed to one side.
"I can't, I'll fall." Faye whined.
"Ooo… Will you? Let me give you a push…" Spike teased her as they landed in a nearby parking spot.
"Hey!" Faye yelled. Hitting Spike across the head. "It's not my fault Jet hasn't fixed my ship yet!
"Oh, ouch the immense pain, I think I'm going to die." Spike said flatly with no expression on his face.
"Hmm…" Faye mumbled shaking her head.
Spike set the ship down and popped open the hatch. Spike hopped out quickly gasping for breath. "Air, air…"
"I feel like I'm going to be sick… And my back kills." Faye moaned.
"At least my butt wasn't in your face pushing me against a window!" Spike grimaced.
"You liked it, and you know it…" Faye taunted as he stood up and wrapped an arm around her.
"Hmm…" He murmured not really giving Faye an answer.
"So, when do we get to go meet your other family members?" Faye looked up at him happily. Her face fading when his went cold.
"Never, their all dead." Spike said flatly.
"Didn't you have any other family?"
"My uncle. My mother's older brother… He killed himself soon after my mother died blaming himself for her death. She had liver cancer, he was her doctor. One night he took a whole bottle of pain killers and was so out of it… He threw himself out of the eighteenth floor of the hospital."
"Spike." Faye's eyes filled with tears. As she turned and hugged him.
"I'm alright with it Faye. Besides I've got you now, don't I?" He smiled and looked down at her; pulling her closer to him and kissed her gently, whipping away her tears.
"Yeah you do, and I'll never let you go. I love you." Faye said leaning her head against his chest as he held her close to his body.
-- So how was it?! I hope you liked this chapter! ^-^' Hee… I be doing a flash back thing probably through the rest of the story, telling my version of Spike's past. --
-- The fan art contest has yet to end, in fact it won't end until the END of the story! ::loud cheers:: Yes, I know I said other wise before, but you know, there weren't many Spike/Faye moments, or anything really good to draw at the moment!--
G2G! Toodles always,
