" What ya' looking at?" Buffy said coming up behind Spike on his bed and wrapping her arms around his waist. Spike was holding a rectangular picture frame in his hands. She couldn't get a glimpse at what the picture was though.
" Oh, er..nothing. It's nothing." Spike said getting up and sliding it back in a drawer. Buffy looked confused, but decided not to push it.
" Okay. So what are you doing down here, all by your lonesome?" Buffy asked smirking as he came by her side.
" Not alone anymore am I?" Spike asked kissing her bare shoulder.
" Nope. Buffy to the rescue. See if you were alone, you might of actually been thinking." Buffy said attempting a fake gasp.
" I always think when your with me...my thoughts,however are-" Spike replied smiling. Buffy nudged him in the shoulder.
" Stop there. I don't want to know." Buffy said playfully wrapping her arms around him into a hug.
" Hey are you doing anything tonight?" Spike asked as she pulled away to meet his eyes.
" Well I have scheduled in a rousing game of peanuckle, but I guess I could push that over just for you." She said sarcastically making him smile.
" Good because I um..thought I could show you somewhere. It's a surprise." Spike said more seriously.
" Sure. It's either that or watching a re-run of Nash Bridges with your dad." Buffy said laughing with him.
" Dear old da' could use the company..." Spike said teasingly recievign a punch in the shoulder from Buffy.
" Don't you dare!" Buffy screamed tackling him back on the bed.
" Well we got some time to kill. What do you suggest we do?" Spike asked kissing her gently on the lips.
" Oh I could think of a few things.." Buffy said capturing his lips again more fiercely.
----------------------
"Buffy! Hurry up!" Spike screamed up the stairs a little while later. Just then Giles emerged from the corner of the room, smiling at his son.
" Ello' William. Taking Buffy out?" Giles asked putting a hand on his sons shoulder.
" Its Spike, and yes." Spike confirmed gently. Giles took off his glasses.
" Your my son, and I refuse to call you anything then the name your mother gave you." Giles retorted a bit angry form his sons stubbornness.
" Mum is dead. Get used to it, I have." Spike said backing away from his father. Giles' face looked a hurt form his sons outburst.
" Yes she is. I have to er, work." Giles said heading up the stairs passing Buffy.
" Mr. Giles." Buffy said to him. He gave a slight nod. When she reached the bottom of the stairs Spikes attention snapped up form the floor where he hid his tears to her. He quickly wiped them away and stared at her. She was lovely.
" Ready William?" Buffy joked as he took her hand.
" Ready Elizabeth." Spike smirked as they headed out of the quiet house.
-----------------------------
" Wow. This place is...amazing." Buffy breathed as she took her seat on the blanket next to Spike.
They were sitting on top of a hill, and the view was spectacular. They could see the whole town and miles to come. City lights, and streetlamps were shining. The stars were brighter then she ever remembered seeing them, and she was sitting next to Spike on a blanket, watching all over as if the world were theirs and it was waiting for them to taste all of its wonders. And as he held her to him, it all seemed....perfect.
"What a view, ey luv?" Spike whispered taking in all of his surroundings.
" How did you find this place?" Buffy asked slowly.
" I come up here to think, or be alone. When my mom died I needed to get out of the house. Go somewhere...anywhere but there. So I got in my car and drove until I couldn't see it was so dark out. Guess' the Powers That Be led me here. I sat here all night crying and thinking. And if you tell anyone about that I'll deny." Spike said in a serious tone of matter. Buffy hung on every last detail.
"Thinking about what?" Buffy asked dumbly. She knew it was his mom, but she felt she needed to ask.
" Everything. Why me? Why my mum? How is my da' going to be? I started hating not only myself, but everyone around me. I kept away from my da'. Thought it be too painful to be around him. I blockaded myself from the world." Spike said his voice breaking as he went on. Buffy wrapped her arms arounnd him more, as if gesturing to go on.
" What happened?" Buffy asked, she knew it was hard for him to tell this. He gave her a slight smile.
" I started to change. Changed my appearence, attitude, the people I hung around with, and the things I did. Changed it all. I guess I kind of felt if they didn't know me, the real me, they wouldn't care. I wouldn't care. Suppose you can say I turned badass over night." Spike smirked at that last sentence. Buffy was listening intently.
" Your dad didn't care that you changed? And what you did?" Buffy asked hardly believing that. Mr. Giles seemed the responsible, ro-model type of father.
" No, not at first. Ya' see, after mum died, he started working more, finding things to do, filling up his schedule so he didn't have to be home a lot. I guess I reminded him of her, and it was hard. I figured, that he thought having something to do every second of the day meant no time for crying, or thinking about her...or me." Spike said harshly. Buffy could see his ice blue eyes watering and hugged him more. He was sharing his life story, why he was the way he was.
" I'm sure he loves you very much. But loosing someone made it harder." Buffy tried to comfort him but only made him look in disgust.
" I know he loves me. I guess I blamed him for what happened. So I started acting out." Spike said getting a confused look from Buffy.
" Acting out? How?" She asked not really sure of what he was going to say.
" Started hanging out with my new mates, they were into stealing, smoking, drinking, partying. Anything. You name it, we did it. Thats how I met Dru." Spike said thinking of the memories.
" Oh. So you didn't pick her up at the Adams Family Reunion convention?" Buffy joked, but Spike just continued on with his story.
" I thought she was wonderful. What a magnificent creature she was. Entranced me with her every word, every movement. A sure black rose she was." Spike said getting lost in his words.
" Are you sure were talking about the same Drusilla?" Buffy laughed inside.
" I wanted to learn more about everything. She held the wonders of the earth in her palms. Sure I knew she was a bit loose in the nut, guess thats why my mates didn't take to her too well. I didn't care, I wanted to be with her..always be with her. She embraced me. It was a feeling of rush and energy. I couldn't get enough of it." Spike explained shaking his head off now and then.
" So what happened?" Buffy sounded very interested, her gaze never leaving his.
" Now Dru, was into bad boys. I guess I took to that category, since I you know, changed. I felt obligated to do more. I started stealing more, took up smoking, getting drunk and partying with her right there. Once, I was so depressed thinking about mum, that I went to Dru. We got drunk, and she started rambling on about a city in flames." Spike began, she noticed his eyes were glistening when he mentioned the word 'flames'.
" City in flames? What did-" Buffy began confused but Spike cut her off.
" City in flames is like fire in hell Dru whispered to me. I gave her what she wanted. I lit a building on fire with my lighter. I didn't care who died, didn't care if I died. I wanted to see it burn, see it all burn. Stupid git I was. Police came, took me in for the night." Spike smiled at that last part. Only, it was a mysterious smile, devilicous.
" And Dru?" Buffy asked concentrating.
" She said it was me, all me. Helpless duck she was. Ha! So I went in alone. A night in there opened my eyes a bit." Spike breathed showing her a scar on his brow.
" Couldn't your dad bail you out?" Buffy asked.
" He could of. If he wasn't 'working'. When I got out, broke up with Dru. Gave up stealing, partying a lot. Grant you, I have a drink and party here and there. But not like before. Thought it was too high risk and not enough reward. I didn't want to ruin my life again. She wasn't worth it. But I can never escape my rep. Guess' I'm a badboy at heart." Spike smirked ending his tale.
" I don't think so. I think thats what you want people to think so they don't see the real you. Don't see your pain and past. But I like you either way." Buffy said giving him a peck on the lips.
" English badboy has its perks. What about you?" Spike asked shifting the conversation her way.
" Nah. More of an American sweetheart here. I like to stay on the other side of the law." Buffy joked nudging him in the side.
" What side is that pet?" Spike asked gripping her close to him.
" The side without the bars." Buffy joked laughing with him.
" So tell me more about you. I know your mum, do you have a dad?" As soon as Spike spoke these words Buffy became serious and edgy.
" No..well yes, techniqually. I wouldn't consider him one though. Never calls, I don't think he even saw me once in the last three years. I don't really think he cares. Him and my mom got divorced a year ago. Said it wasn't my fault, but I never fully believed it." Buffy said clinging onto him.
" Some people are just not meant for eachother luv. Its not your fault." Spike whispered in her ear.
" Maybe, maybe not. I kept thinking, if I were smarter, righter, behaved more, athletic. This and that, maybe they would of stayed together. But I knew I was fooling myself." Buffy said fighting back tears.
" Its okay. It wasn't your fault, pet. Your perfect the way you are." Spike said holding her.
" So I moved to Sunnydale with my mom, while he stayed in L.A I met new friends, and started a new life. It was cool for a while but everything started to get...boring, stupid, artificial." Buffy spoike the words hatefully.
" What do you mean?" Spike asked.
" Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, my family, my life there. But here its so...good, new, exciting, real. It feels right here. I don't want to go back knowing I need to act some way that isn't me, act the way they want me to. I want to stay here with you." Buffy said clasping her eyes shut.
" New things get old fast, luv. I want you to stay too." Spike said but knew it couldn't be.
" I don't want to leave you." Buffy whispered to him.
" Who knows? Maybe we'll see eachother soon. Make a wish." Spike said lowering his gaze.
" I hope so." Buffy said secretly wishing on a star.
" Yeah. Sooner then you think, kitten." Spike whispered looking up at the sky.
