owned them, there would be only spuffiness.

A/N: I'm so pissed after reading some Angel spoilers. I usually don't read them but I was curious to find out what was going to happen on Angel this season with Spike being a regular cast member and all. Arrgh, Joss is really evil. He loves to play around with the characters and torture the fans. Apparently there might be some kind of Spike and Fred romance. Eww, that's just wrong. I wish they would just pick a guy for Fred either Wesley or Gunn but no Spike. Definitely NO SPIKE. Spike just can't get over Buffy that quickly, it's just wrong. He's done so much to try to get her to love him and just to throw it all away for Fred, that's just plain stupid. I knew there was a reason I didn't want Spike to be on Angel next season. Don't get me wrong, I love Spike and would like to see him on Angel, but not with any type of Fred romance. But the problem is that these writers just love to make a mess out of these characters. Okay, sorry for this little rant, I just hope it doesn't happen, but those damned spoilers always have a way of being the truth. Sorry again, enjoy the chapter that's what you're hear for anyway.
What did he just say? He cared about me? That's good right? No, maybe it means he only cares about me as a friend, not something more. Buffy thought as she looked at Spike surprised for the money and his admission of caring for her.
"W-what?" she stammered once again.
Spike took in an unneeded breath and said, "Don't act like this is new. You know how I feel 'bout you. You've known this for years now. Don't get why you're acting all surprised."
"I just didn't think, you felt the same way you did. It's been a year or more since you said that you l-loved me. I thought you were over me." Buffy explained, suddenly finding the surface of the table interesting.
Spike watched as she touched the table, examining it for the dust. He knew there was something about this conversation that was making her uncomfortable. 'Must be 'cause she hates talking about the way I feel for her, knowing that she could never feel the say thing back to me,' Spike thought.
" I never stopped loving you.. 'll always love you, don't you forget that. Thought you knew that by now," Spike stated, making Buffy remember the speech he said back when she was feeling down after being kicked out by her friends, when they were still dealing with the First. She would never forget that speech, it was the most wonderful thing someone ever told her.
" Well, it's just that you haven't acted like you and you never say it anymore and I, well you know what I mean."
"I know what you mean. Well, didn't want to keep remindin' you 'bout that. After all, I thought we were just bein' friends s'all. Didn't want to ruin what we were starting to have. I knew you didn't want to be more than so that's why I stopped mentionin' how I feel 'bout you."
" I get that. You didn't want to ruin our friendship. I appreciate it you know. This past year has been great. No more worrying about slaying and just hanging out. I never thought we'd be friends. It's weird, me slayer you vampire well kinda former vamp and slayer 'cause you know I don't really do slaying and you don't kill, and we just watch movies and hangout like old pals," Buffy laughed.
Spike chuckled at the her thoughts then muttered, " Fallin' in love with a Slayer is even weirder."
"I heard that. Yeah, it is weird. Falling in love with a vampire is weird too, especially if you're the Slayer."
"Yeah, you and the poof. Have you talked to 'im recently by the way? If you do call 'im tell him I sent him my worst wishes. Lots of my wishes involve his death you know," Spike smirked.
Buffy rolled her eyes and said, " No, I haven't talked to him. I haven't talked to him in a while and it just goes to prove that we don't belong in each other's worlds anymore. I don't need him and he doesn't need me."
"Just like you don't need me. What I'm good for? Takin' up space in your home s'all I'm doin'. 'm thinking of movin' out, buyin' a home of my own."
"What? You're wrong Spike. I do need you." Buffy said, surprising herself. She hadn't really thought out the words, when they just went out her mouth.
"Really why's that?"
"B-b-because, I care about you," she blurted out. She waited for Spike's expression. His face was expressionless, unmoving.
A/N: I'll try to update real soon, like later in the week. Sorry if I didn't do a real good job with the characters. I'm not that good with characterization.
