Title: Complicated
Summary: --Sequel to "I Don't Want To Be Alone"-- Buffy's living in New York, sharing an apartment with her best friend from the foster home, Willow. Xander and Nikki live in the same building, a floor up from the two. All four attend NYU and life is starting to make sense again. Until someone returns from their past and shakes things up.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from BtVS or AtVS or anyone who belongs to someone else. You know who they are. I do own people such as Nikki.
.:a/n:. Thank you to Asert for the very kind review =o) I'm glad you like it. I hope you'll keep liking it, lol.

"This is so hard to believe," Buffy said, sitting down on Spike's bed. He sat down next to her and kept his gaze locked on her. "I'm sitting in the same room with the man that I couldn't live without. You were gone for so long. We were apart for so many years." She laughed. "I kept a picture of you. In my bedside drawer. Sometimes I just wished I could forget you, but every night I found myself looking at your picture. I probably sound really lame."
"Then that makes two of us," he said, nodding towards the small picture frame that held her and her family's photo. "Might sound stupid, but I thought if I stopped seeing you, that you'd disappear from my mind. I should've known that wouldn't happen. I could never forget you. You and all of our memories together."
"H-Have you . . . Do you have . . ."
"A girlfriend?" He shook his head. "Well, I did. But they never stayed long. Just didn't feel right. Not like when I was with you. And you? Do you have a special someone?"
"Me?" she asked. "Um . . . No. Not at the moment, no. I mean, I've had . . . But it never worked right. What with school, and the whole me not being over you."
"I missed you so much luv," he said, tracing the features of her face with his hand. She looked deep into his eyes and could feel herself feeling all the things she felt for him years ago returning. 'If they ever left,' she thought. His face drew nearer, and Buffy closed her eyes, waiting.
When his lips first touched hers, it was awkward. They hadn't kissed in three years; they hadn't seen one another in three years. How could it not be?
"If you want me to stop pet . . ." he said, looking into her eyes.
"SHH," Buffy said, placing two fingers on his lips. "I think you know me well enough to know, that if I want you to stop, I'll make you stop."
She brought his face down to hers and gently pressed her lips against his.
.:a/n:. I decided to stop it here, for now. I don't know whether to go into detail, or just some detail, enough to . . . Get the point, you know? So whoever's reading this, tell me what you want.
Oh yeah, and sorry for the short chapter. But I'm pretty busy lately, and I've tried writing in class and stuff, but I'm somewhat having a block. Thanks for reviewing!
