Goodnight-
"Ok it's settled." Buffy continued after they had decided they would have to go back to Sunnydale, open a portal to this dream dimension and go down there to fight this demon who was threatening to take over the world. "We go back to Sunnydale and Willow opens a portal to Phailen. Then I go down there and stop Lucidus."
"Whoa. What do you mean 'I go'?" Xander asked, quoting Buffy. "We are coming with you."
"No, you're not." Buffy said.
"But-" Xander started but was cut off by Buffy.
"No, you guys cant come. It's too dangerous." Buffy said, resolution in her voice.
"Oh, so we can fight the Firsts army of uber-vamps but we cant help you destroy a demon?" Dawn said sarcastically, the same resolution in her voice as in Buffy's.
"That was different," She answered.
"Yeah it was different, *that* was more dangerous!" Dawn started. The rest of the group could sense a Summers argument brewing.
"You fighting in *that* was necessary! This isn't. I can't risk you! Any of you." She said, hurt evident in her voice. Dawn backed down.
"Why don't we talk about this in the morning?" Giles said playing moderator.
"I think that's a good idea." Spike said. "Maybe we should get some sleep before blood is drawn." He stated, referring to the fight that was going to start between the two sisters. He sided with Buffy of course, not wanting to put Dawn at any risk, but he didn't feel like an argument now. He was too tired for a Dawn tantrum, although they *had* become less frequent.
"Fine. We'll talk about it in the morning." Dawn said even though she knew she wouldn't win.
"No we wont. There's nothing to talk about." Buffy replied.
"God, I can't believe that after everything we've been through you still treat me like a child!" Dawn said frustrated with her older sister.
"Ok! I'm going to leave now!" Xander said before either of the two girls could continue. "You coming Andrew?"
"Yeah I'm coming. I hope I can sleep tonight, all this talk of demons made me a little freaked. And kinda itchy." Andrew said as he followed closely behind Xander, still rambling about the forces of good never resting and something about James Bond and Star Wars...
"Bye guys" Xander said as he walked out of the house and headed for his car.
"Wait for me!" Willow said, as she grabbed her coat and laptop and headed for the door. "Bye everyone, see you tomorrow morning, we'll get started on finding a spell to open the portal." She said, mostly directed to Giles.
"Yes. Good idea." He said. "See you then." He closed the door, and turned around.
"Well I don't know about you, but *I'm* going to bed." He said as he walked up the stairs. "Goodnight."
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna catch a few Z's to." Dawn stated. "Well talk later" She said to Buffy. "Goodnight Spike" she finished before Buffy could say anything. And then Dawn to went upstairs leaving Buffy and Spike alone in an awkward silence.
"So..." Spike said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Where do I sleep?" He asked, expecting to be offered the couch, or the floor or something bloody uncomfortable like that. Buffy just leaned in and kissed him softly. She took his hand and led him upstairs to her room.
He got into her bed, and waited for her to get undressed and into bed beside him. She did, and got under the covers facing him.
She kissed his him on the lips and pulled away to look him in his deep blue eyes.
"What does this mean?" He asked. She simply kissed him again. He held her close, but pulled away after a while. "I need to hear you say it Buffy. If I can't have all of you..." He stopped as she put two fingers against his mouth.
"I love you, William. And I want to be with you. I want you to have all of me."
"Oh god Buffy, I love you so much." He said as he pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately and deep, his voice full of emotion. He got on top of her and kissed her neck all the way down her collarbone. She felt his cool touch and wanted more. "I need you Spike. Never leave me." She said.
"Never." He replied.
That night they didn't have sex; it wasn't hard and rough like they usually did it. That night they made love.
