Chapter 1: Sleeping Nude?!?

Past

Buffy and Spike were on their way back to Buffy's house. The night had dragged out into a longer evening then it had been thought. It was almost dawn as the couple walked into the door. Willow and Dawn were fast asleep on the couch. Buffy bit back a laugh. Willow was almost falling off of the couch as Dawn had he feet pushing agasint the couch. Spike couldn't help himself.

"'Ey! What's this then Slayer?" She shushed him and pointed upstairs.

He nodded and followed her.

"Willow, will wake up in a few minutes. I swear she has it programmed into her body. Sun's up! Willow's Wake-up time."

"Yeah, and Vampire's bedtime." He said unsuccessfully covering a yawn. She smiled at him.

"Same here." They walked into her room. She took a quick look at the clock. She walked over to the window and pulled the blinds shut. "I guess you can stand here for the day. I'll take to floor or I'll go to Dawn's room." He shook his head.

"You have the bed Luv, I'll just take the floor." She smiled and yawned.

"Just lock the door we don't want anyone getting the wrong idea." She said nervously. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"And how is locking ourselves in your room not goin to give them that idea?" She blushed and Spike was mentally kicking himself. She nodded.

"You're right maybe...I...should just go-"

"Don't finish that sentence." Her eyes wide with surprise meet his. "We are both grown adults." She snorted at this, he smirked at her. "And I think we can be in the same room together and not jump each other's bones." She nodded almost too much.

"Right I mean...you are a vampire."

"And you're the slayer. I imagine that Dawn will want to use her room as it's the weekend and if you go else where you won't get any sleep. I promise to be a good little Vampire and keep me hands to my self...and fangs." He said as an after thought.

Once again Buffy blushed and was damning the fact that she was thinking about what Spike could do with those hands. Bad thoughts...Bad thoughts. her mind screamed at her. She shrugged and twirled her finger to motion for him to turn around. He grinned at her as he saw that he was positioned in front of the mirror, he watched as she slowly got undressed and rooted around for a nighty. She took of her bra and slipped it over her head. She did all this pain-staking slow as if she knew he was watching. He thanked the Powers that be that he didn't have a heartbeat. If he had she would have heard it. He looked down and groaned. The rest of his body was clearly enjoying the show.

"You can turn around now." She said as she walked over to her bed. She tossed a pillow to him. He caught it with one hand and lowered it in front of himself. He shifted uncomfortably.

"Do I get a blanket?" He asked. She frowned.

"Why? It's not like you need it." He held the area around his heart a pained look on his face.

"Ouch Luv, I like to sleep in the nude," again with the blushing he notes. "I don't think that you would like to see me like that." Her eyes widen.

'Oh, Yes I would!' Buffy thought to herself. She sighed and pulled her top sheet off and tossed it to him.

"Thanks Luv." He said. She nodded and mubbled something that he couldn't make out and turned to face the window. She smiled as she remembered the peep show she had given him just a few seconds ago. Even thought her mind was screaming at her that sleeping in the same room with Spike was a bad idea, her body was pushing her in a different way. She rolled onto her back and watched Spike as he undress out of the corner of her eye. She smiled as he did in fact sleep in the nude. Her mind began to wander as she watched him lie down on the floor.

"Night Buffy!" He said.

"Night Spike." She replied without even thinking. She drifted to sleep with a smile on her face as he had used her real name...not a pet one like she hated.

Future

Apart the pair were just two vampires that meant nothing to the world. But when they were together...that's a different story all together. They moved as one as they raced towards their house. The sun at their heels as they dove for the sheltered area. They smiled at one another as they made it. The sun making it uncomfortable for them to stand there. They push the door open and walk in. No need to lock the door if they are the only ones around. They are both so tired that they don't even see the woman and man walk in front of the driveway. They watch wearily as the couple disappear into a small house that use to house the slayer and her family.

Past

Willow groaned as she slowly came to. She was uncomfortable to say the least. She laughed as she finally woke-up. She was literally hanging onto the edge of the couch as Dawn stretched out on the rest. She sighed and got up. She wondered if Buffy got home okay and thought it best if she went up to check. She stretched wincing at the small action. She wasn't looking forward to climbing the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and set the coffee maker on. Then she walked up the stairs and down to Buffy's room. She twisted the door to open but nothing happen. She frowned. Buffy usually didn't lock her door. What was going on. She raised her hand and knocked.

"Buffy? Are you okay?" She called. She heard moaned and movement in the room then the door was pulled open to reveal a very tired looking Slayer.

"Willow? What time is it?" She asked.

"Early." She replied. "I was just wondering if you got home okay." She nodded her attendance only half with Willow. She must be really tired, Willow thought. "Big fight last night?" She asked. Buffy shook her head.

"I think I'm coming down with something. The flu or something. Think you can call work for me?" She asked. Willow nodded.

"No problem. You want me to call the others?" The slayer once again shook her head.

"No, I just need some sleep. Wake me up around dusk." Willow nodded. As she walked down towards the washroom she heard some whispering coming from Buffy's room and the door re-locking. Hurt Willow turned the shower on and after stripping got in. What was so important that Buffy couldn't share with her?

TBC.....
