Buffy woke up to the smell of pancakes floating into her room. Sleepily she sat up and looked at her alarm clock, 9:00am. Early for either her mother or father to be up on a Sunday. Curious and hungry Buffy stood up and made her way down to the kitchen. She stumbled on a few stairs before finally entering the kitchen. To her surprise, it wasn't her mom or dad, or anyone in her family for that matter.

"Spike?" She asked, sitting on a stool.

"Last time I checked luv."

"You're making pancakes?" She laughed.

"Well if you don't want any . . ."

"I want some. Please Spike." She pouted.

"Here." He said, placing a plate of pancakes in front of her.

Buffy looked at them, then back up at Spike who was searching through the fridge looking for syrup. She stood up and went over to help him.

"There." She said, pointing to a maple syrup bottle in the back of the fridge.

"Thanks." He said and grabbed it. "Allow me." He poured some on her pancakes.

"Thank you." Buffy said and picked up a fork.

She ate her pancakes as Spike did the dishes. This was a side of him she'd never seen before, and she liked it. She liked his pancakes too, they were very delicious.

"Didn't know you were a good cook." Buffy said.

"You don't know a lot of things about me pet." He said, lifting his head up from the sink.

"Guess I don't." She said.

"What time do they get up?" He asked.

"I don't know, around now. Why?"

"I should clean up before they come down. Wouldn't want them to see me baking."

"I see. You go ahead. I'll clean up, wouldn't want them to see the other Spike." Buffy said, putting her dish in the sink.

"Owe you one." Spike said and disappeared up the stairs.

*Ring*Ring*

Buffy jumped up to get the phone.

"Hello." She said and Willow's voice could be heard on the other end.

'Hey Buffy, I was just wondering what was up?'

"Nothing, you? How was Friday night with Oz. You guys had big plans didn't you?"

'Yeah, it was amazing Buff. Oz is amazing.'

"I'm glad you guys are so happy together."

'Thanks. You know Skye really likes Spike.'

"Really?" Buffy laughed.

'They made out you know. She was all 'Spike and me made out'.'

"That's wonderful Will, I still don't get what this has to do with me."

'Well I just thought it might bug you.'

"Spike does what he wants with who he wants. I'm more concerned about Skye though, she just gives her heart to any guy that shows a bit of interest. Spike isn't one to give something so precious to."

"And why is that?"

Buffy jumped when she heard Spike's voice behind her.

"Uh Will, I'll call you later, bye." She said and hung up.

Spike walked into the living room and stood by Buffy. He looked at her and she stared at her hands.

"Yes?" She asked, like nothing happened.

"What were you saying? I'm not one to give something so precious to?"

"Oh, that. Yeah, it was nothing."

"I'd like to know pet."

"Um, okay. Willow just told me about how you and Skye made out and how Skye is like so in love with you now and I'm just concerned that one of my best friends is going to get hurt by a guy that is you."

He looked confused. 'She's in love with me? After one bloody kiss? Why wouldn't she be? I'm so irresistible I don't blame her.'

"Okay." He said. "So she's in love with me now, is she?"

"Appears to be that way. But if you break her heart . . ."

"I wont luv. Who even says I like her." He said and walked out.

"Conceited." Buffy said to herself.

"Buffy! Get your butt down here, you're going to be late!" Joyce yelled up the stairs.

Buffy came running down the steps in a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt with 69 on it in blue. She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek before running out to the car. Spike was waiting in it and took off just as Buffy closed her door.

~*~

They got to the school in no time and found Xander, Willow, Oz, Anya, Riley and Skye sitting outside.

"Hey guys." Buffy said as she approached her friends.

"Hi Spike." Skye said.

He nodded and looked around.

"So Buffy, why'd you have to go last night?" Willow asked. "You hung up so quick."

"Oh, uh, sorry about that Will, I thought the kitchen was on fire. Spike tried to cook." Buffy said.

"That's so cute." Skye said.

"Yeah, adorable. C'mon guys, school's in." Xander said and the eight headed into the school.

~*~

Willow, Skye and Buffy sat in the cafeteria waiting for the guys to find them. They all had gotten their lunch and found a table.

"Buffy, think I could come over tonight? We could study." Skye asked.

"And you could see Spike." Buffy added.

"Well, that too." Skye smiled. "But really? Willow could come too, and the whole gang. Oh I know, we could have a little party. Like watch movies and make food . . . Like the old days. Please Buff." Skye said.

"I guess so. My parents are out at some banquet . . ."

"You're the best!" Skye said and hugged Buffy.

Later that night, the girls were at Buffy's house sitting in the living room. Oz, Riley and Xander had gone out to get food and movies.

"I need some water. Anyone else?" Buffy asked, standing.

"No thanks." The three said in unison.

Buffy stood up and headed into the kitchen. She grabbed a glass and was pouring water into it when Spike came in the back door. She stopped and looked at him, he wreaked of alcohol.

"Spike, you're drunk aren't you?" She asked.

"Maybe a little." He said and almost fell.

"C'mon, I'll take you upstairs." Buffy said and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

The three were too busy in the living room to notice Buffy helping Spike upstairs. She made it to his room and sat him on his bed. He grabbed her waist and pulled her onto the bed.

"Spike, don't." She said and tried to get back up but he pulled her back down. "What?"

"You're pretty." He said.

"Thanks. Let me go." She said, motioning towards the arm wrapped around her waist.

"Why?" He asked. "Kiss me."

"Ew no." She said.

"Kiss me." He said again.

"Spike, I'm not going to kiss you. You're drunk." She said and looked in his eyes.

"Kiss me." He said again and bent his head downwards.

She saw his head moving towards hers but didn't stop it. She felt his lips press against hers in a soft kiss and kissed back. When she realized what she was doing, she pulled away.

"Go to sleep." She said and left.
