Human?
By PassionFish
Part One
Buffy sat frowning at Spike, who sat across from her. Spike was watching the watcher who was walking back and forth from the table and his office bringing various books with him including the Codex and several Watchers Diaries. The peroxide blonde turned his head back to the slayer and frowned at her frown.
"What?" He asked, absently looking up as Giles dumped yet another book on the table.
"What? What? This is way wiggy and not just in a small way." Spike rolled his eyes as the slayer began to rant once again, as she paced the room, about how this was ruining her already askew view of the crazy world she lives in.
"Hey! Its not like I asked to become human." The ex-vampire argued.
Buffy stopped suddenly and turned back to him, a questioning look on her face. "So you're just human?"
"Haven't we already covered that?" Spike snapped.
"I mean..." Buffy began, unfazed by his tone. "What about strength and skill and stuff...well, not that you had much skill anyway."
"Thanks so much, pet. But yes, I still got it." Spike replied, flashing her a sexy grin, which caused her to blush slightly.
"So Giles what are we doing with all the books?" Buffy said slightly desperately, in an attempt to get the spot light off her. *Why the hell do I give that reaction when he does that...its SPIKE for God's sake!* She mentally scolded herself as Giles answered her question.
"Well, we're uh, going to have to go through them I suppose. Maybe there's some reference to a male slayer..."
"Hey now, wait a minute, I never said I'd help you..." Spike interrupted, just to be interrupted by the slayer.
"If you got your strength and you want our help you can help us."
"What's the matter, love? Slaying getting too much for you in your old age?" Spike asked snidely.
"If it is, can you make it all better?" Buffy asked sweetly, batting her widened eyes dramatically at the blonde.
"Uh-hum," Giles coughed politely, not quite liking the direction of the conversation. "I think it would be beneficial to test the full capacity of your predicament if you were to patrol with Buffy."
"Hold on, Giles. Why does he have to patrol with me? Can't he go with..." Buffy protested.
"Buffy you can hold your own so if there were to be a problem..." Giles interrupted.
"But..." Buffy tried again.
"No, that is final!" Her watcher snapped, ignoring her murderous scowl.
"Looks like you're stuck with me, love!" Spike sniggered.
"Joy!" Buffy muttered. A bell rang in the background and Buffy looked up at the clock. "Shit, I'm gonna be late!" She exclaimed, grabbing her bag. She looked back at her watcher. "I'll be back with the others after P.E, Giles."
"Okay Buffy." Giles said, moving back into his office.
Buffy turned to go but Spike's voice halted her, "Don't I get a goodbye, love?"
She looked up a mocking look on her face and tilting her head to the side, stuck her middle finger up at him, "Goodbye, love." With that she left the library to Spike's chuckle.
The peroxide blonde watched the slayer's swaying ass as she left the library and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
