A/N- I am taking the Chris thing from 'Charmed' out. It just wouldn't fit, obviously. But everything from Buffy still remains intact. Compassion
They all trudged wearily back to the Halliwell house. Spike said a quick good bye to the girls and headed back up to his own house. He threw his duster on the chair in the foyer and put the axe back in the chest. He was worn out and didn't even know if he could make it up the stairs. He slumped down in the nearest chair, and without even realizing it had orbed himself upstairs. He layed down on the bed and fell asleep and dreamed of a certain golden haired girl.
He woke up with a jolt as the last moments of his last life played before his eyes. The last two nights had been the same, it always ended when their hands had parted. He sighed and got out of bed slowly shrugging into his clothes. Not much action had happened the last couple days.
They had staked a few vamps here and there. A few demons were vanquished, but nothing of the big variety. The youngest Halliwell sister had started to explain to him this whole 'vanquishing' thing. Although he much preferred the old sword through the stomach, he had to admit that these potions did come in handy.
He left his house and walked back over to the Halliwell Manor. He knocked on the door and Phoebe answered.
"C'mon" she said as she grabbed her purse and closed the door behind her.
"Wait, What?" he said as she grabbed his arm with her other hand and led him down the walk.
"I told you we were going shopping and plus Piper is on a cleaning freak out and believe me you don't want to be there when that happens" she said as she smiled up at him.
He laughed a little as he went over to the passenger side of Phoebe's car. He slid in and Phoebe started the car up.
He couldn't believe he was about to go shopping with a 20something woman that he had only met a few days ago.
He never went shopping.
He looked over at Phoebe who was tapping her fingers against the steering wheel to the beat of the music that was blaring from the radio.
He thought about this past week, overall he had most connected with Phoebe, she seemed fun and energetic and well someone who he thought maybe he could tell his secrets to.
But he wasn't allowed. Leo had told him that no one should find out, but also to show that he wasn't hiding anything from the three sisters. Leo had explained that they were curious to the point of being outright nosy. This was the hardest part, he already suspected that three already knew. But Piper didn't seem to give a lick what his story was. So there was no problem there.
They ended up outside some big department store he really wasn't paying attention to what it was called. What he was trying to do was make any sense out of what the little witch was chattering on about.
Something about Jason who happened to be her boss and her ex boyfriend. But beyond that he couldn't understand it.
He ended up following her like a little puppy as she pulled shirt after shirt off the rack and handed them to him.
A few he deemed good enough but the others eventually found themselves back on the rack when Phoebe wasn't looking.
She was trying to explain to him the importance of having at least 3 silk shirts when they were interrupted. A young man was standing there, he was looking strangely at them, Spike more specifically.
Spike looked at him.
The guy realized that he was staring.
"Oh...um... sorry... It's just uh, Don't I know you?" the guy said to Spike.
Spike looked at the guy closer, it didn't spark any memory chords.
"Sorry, mate I think you got the wrong guy" Spike said as he turned back to the rack.
Yet the guy still didn't leave.
"No, no I'm sure of it" the guy said again laughing a little. Spike again looked up questioningly at the man. Phoebe watched the exchange with interest.
"It was at the party, must have been about a year and a half ago, you were there" he said.
Spike thought. Party? With a human? Not likely.
Spike was about to say something else when the guy started talking again.
"Xander brought me, You know Xander Harris?" he said.
Spike's eyes widened.
"Who was the birthday girl again, Betty.No. Oh yea Buffy" he said with a smile as if pleased with himself that he remembered her name.
Spike thought he was going to faint, literally. He grabbed the rack to help compose himself. He did not need this, not now.
"I'm sure it was you, I mean you were a little more beat up but your hair is hard to forget" he said.
Phoebe laughed. Oh God, Spike had forgotten she was there. Leo was going to kill him.
The guy was still prattling on. He had to stop him.
"Yea I remember, sort of" Spike said.
He held out his hand "Richard" he said as Spike shook his hand.
"Spike" he said.
"Man wasn't that a helluva party" Richard said reminiscing. "Really weird though, what with the unable to leave among other things, So how did you end up in San Fran?"
Man this guy can talk Spike thought. Spike made up some lame excuse. He felt a sudden pain in his ribs.
'Ow' he was about to say but then he looked down at Phoebe who was the one who elbowed him. She hissed at him.
"Introduce us" she said still trying to keep her smile perfect.
Oh God, as if meeting this guy wasn't enough he now had to play matchmaker for Phoebe?!
"Um, Richard this is my friend Phoebe" Spike said awkwardly.
Phoebe gave Richard a dazzling smile.
"Hi" she said.
"Hello" he said kind of shyly. The two began a conversation completely ignoring that Spike was present.
Spike took the time to look over this Rich. In a way he reminded Spike of Riley. That whole wholesome boy thing. Defiantly not Spike's thing. He turned around and looked at the racks.
He listened to the conversation with his vampire hearing. It was sweetening to the point that it was almost sickening. They eventually stopped talking and exchanged phone numbers.
Richard waved goodbye to the both of them and Phoebe came over to Spike.
"Wow you know some good people" she said as she slipped the number into her purse. She smiled happily up at him. They headed out with a few purchases and one jubilant girl.
They got into the car. Spike sat in silence and wondered what would happen on account of this little encounter.
"You're awfully quiet" Phoebe said. "Of course it's not that much of change, did anyone ever tell you that you brood way too much?"
That snapped Spike out of it. "I DO NOT brood!" he said insistently.
Phoebe gave him an odd look that soon broke into a smile. "Sure, you brood, never" she said sarcastically.
"I do not BROOD!" he said even louder this time.
It took all Phoebe had to stop from bursting out laughing. The rest of the way home was quiet.
Spike left to his own house with a quick nod and a thank you. Phoebe sighed, picked up the bags and went into the house. Preparing herself to face the wrath of Piper. Instead she found a locked door. She opened it with her key and the lights were off. She wandered into the kitchen and turned a light on. She dropped the bags by the doorway and saw the note on the counter.
Phoebe,
Me and Paige went to P3. Wyatt is with his nanny over at her
house. Join us if you can. If not we will probably be home round
2.
Love,
Piper
Phoebe put the letter back down and walked over to the cabinet and took out a glass. She poured herself some wine and wandered back into the living room. She left all the lights out except for the small lamp on the corner table. She then popped in a cd.
A sad song sounded from the speakers. Phoebe sighed as she put her glass down and sat on the couch, she curled her feet under her. Her eyes gained a faraway glaze to them as if remembering.
Spike was outside the Halliwell house. He knocked and no one answered he tried again, still no answer.
He thought maybe something had happened to Phoebe, he opened the door widely and found what he could only describe as. depressing.
"I hope I am not interrupting incredibly saddening" he said, she looked over at him.
"Oh. um. No. Wait what are you doing here?" she said, all in a big word jumble.
"Left my purchases with you" he said with a little smirk.
"Oh" she said she nodded over to the kitchen. He found them and came back to Phoebe.
"Well, then I'll be going" he said with a compassionate smile.
He was almost to the door when Phoebe spoke up.
"Hey um, Spike. Would you like some wine?" she said in a small voice. Spike knew that was her way of asking him to stay. He nodded and Phoebe went to the kitchen and retrieved another glass while Spike sat in a chair apposite the couch Phoebe was on. She handed the glass to him and sat back down.
The song changed. And the first beats and lyrics thrummed out.
Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand.
Phoebe's eyes again glazed over as she listened, this was her sad song cd, the thing she listened to when she missed him the most.
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or Is this burning an eternal flame...
'Huh' Spike thought as he listened to the lyrics. Obviously the lyrics were for an emotional state of burning but for him it was well. Well literal.
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Spike's chest tightened as he listened. The only thing he could think of was Buffy. He suddenly felt an overwhelming need for her.
Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Phoebe soon realized that she was crying as she thought of Cole. Sometimes she missed him so much that she wanted to call him up from the underworld. But, hey besides impossible, it was also wrong. Their relationship was obviously ill fated from the beginning. But although they may not be meant to be together it didn't mean she couldn't miss him.
The song ended and Phoebe still cried, she didn't want to let him go, but she had to.
She was aware that a hand was patting her back. Phoebe looked over and saw Spike. His look told volumes. it showed understanding and compassion. She gave him a watery smile and they came to a mutual understanding. So they sat and listened to the continuing songs each thinking of the things they had lost.
A/N- Song is 'Eternal Flame' by the Divynals. Sorry if the chap seems kind of sappy to some (
