Love In Battle Chapter 10
Connor and Faith fell through Buffy's front door in a heap laughing. The entire gang was there. Xander looked up in resentment. Connor and Faith were bad influences. Spike sniffed the air and stopped to look Connor directly in the face, standing over him as Connor realising looked up at his elder in curiosity showing no resentment or concealing to the blond nightwalker. They held this stare for a second. Before Spike moved away and Connor came to his feet, playfully as Faith pulled herself up but pushed him down.
The entire gang was perplexed. Buffy put her hands on her hips: "Oh, decided to come back," she asked, she sounded bossy. But she had worried about the two confused young warriors. Faith walked to Buffy and spoke to her in a friendly tone: "Yeah, but just for a bit, me and Connor got a hotel room for a few nights so we can...you know get some privacy." She couldn't hide a guilty happy smile when she said that. "And you know, so we won't annoy you guys, we can
still hunt and stuff." Buffy was shocked: "What? Where did you get the money?" she asked. "Connor paid" "Connor?" Buffy turned her gaze to him, and noticed for a second how much his presence felt like his father's, a feeling of love and resentment washed over her. Connor simply looked back. Was something wrong? God this world was complicated...women where complicated.
"You get a big allowance or somethin'?" Xander asked in surprise. "No, I, uh, I get a salary." "Huh?" the rest besides Faith said in unison. "Yeah, um, you know, if I help my Dad on case, but no more than five a week, he's kinda uptight about me in danger. Sometimes they can't really pay, but it doesn't bother me...you now...I usually get like eighty a week." "Eighty?" Dawn said, looking at Buffy in shock, she wanted eighty a week. "Well, my Dad makes much more," Connor said. "I knew danger wasn't his whore!" Anya chirped excited. "Huh??" Connor said. "I don't-" "Oh no, not you, sweety. Spiderman. See, heroes can be paid," she said triumphantly gesturing towards Connor. Connor look pleadingly at Faith, his
eyes cried for help. She smiled: "Weird, huh? Listen, we're gonna go-" "No your not!" Dawn yelled. Not realising how much passion she'd done that with until it was out. Everyone looked at her. She looked at Connor who looked confused beyond belief which forced a sexy pout. If they went now, they'd so do it. She hated that idea. She was powerfully jealous. "It's just um...we gotta hunt come on this is important!" "An excellent point Dawn," Giles praised, she relaxed a little. "But under the circumstances of recent events I think its best Connor not go." "Huh?" Connor said. Him, not hunt? "Yeah," Spike said, wrapping an arm around Connor's neck. "I wanted to spend some time with you anyway, kid". He gestured to a whiskey bottle in his pocket. No one else saw. "Okay," Connor smiled. (Good boy) "Okay, but, um, be careful, I'll call Angel must be worried out of his mind," Giles said. Connor felt a shiver up his spine. (Does that make you feel guilty? Got you under his thumb hasn't he? Can you
drink?)
(Later at the pub)
"Bloody...bloody.hell you look like your mum, Junior, I mean...Peaches is in there, but dammit.these peanuts are great...blood gets all crunchy." Normally, Connor would have grimaced under such a remark, but now nearly fell off his stool laughing. "Geez! You're so cool! I mean I'm cool, but you're like wow! Seven different kinds of screwed up attitude" Connor laughed. He noticed a vamp leaving a side door, female, kinda sexy. He got up: "Careful now, you're drunk," Spike laughed. Connor laughed: "I'm not as think as you drunk I am, wait a minute...wait a minute...I got that wrong...your not as thinking that I'm drunk." Spike continued sitting.
Connor stumbled into the dark alley where the sexy vampire was waiting. She
had dark hair, kinda young, deep red lips. She was so attractive. He stumbled towards her. (Now where have I seen this before) She was so beautiful he touched her. She fell to dust. But she wasn't Faith, he dropped the stake and rested on the wall. Since when did alleys spin anyways? (Figures)
"Man, you look drunk," a young man came from the shadows. "Oh...hey man." Connor laughed happily. "You wanna come in for a drink I got this Uncle and he's-" "Shhhh....." he surveyed Connor's body and face slowly from feet to face paying close attention to his crotch. "Very nice," he hummed. Connor was really confused. Was this happening? Who put that bin there? Do windows always spin? How come his legs felt so funny?
The young man grabbed Connor and kissed him. Forcing his tongue onto Connor's. Connor spluttered what the?? He broke free. "Spiiikkke!!! Spike!! Spiike!" he yelled. Spike knocked the door down and looked around he saw Connor on the ground throwing-up in the darkness and rain. No-one else. Poor kid. He lifted Connor up and took him to the bathroom.
