I don't need you: Red
"And his dummy's on the side in my room. There's blood in the fridge if he wants it but make sure it's warm enough or it'll irritate his fangs. If he feels sick then just call me and I'll be right here. In fact maybe I shouldn't go..."
"Higgy!" Red grabbed her friend's arm and steered her towards the door. "This is a very important meeting for both you and Angel. If you don't go and talk to the vampire council then Spike wont be recognised as a master vampire will he?"
"No...but..."
"No buts. We'll be fine I swear. Now go. Have fun. Do rituals. Look pretty. Just don't worry about us. We'll be fine. I can so deal with this." Red handed Higgy her bag and practically pushed her out of the door.
"Okay. We'll go. We'll have fun. We'll do the rituals and do I really look pretty?" Higgy spun around in the Carer ritual clothing of a black silk dress and silver shoes. Red nodded and Higgy continued. "And we won't worry about you guys... too much."
"Okay..."
"Oh and Red?"
"Yes?"
"Don't use the oven...or the microwave...you know what? Here's some money, order a pizza if you get hungry." Higgy handed over the green bills and straightened her dress before Red shoved her to the doorway again.
"Good. Go. ANGEL!" Red yelled back into the flat. A very flustered looking Angel came rushing out from the bathroom with Spike following behind. (A/N. NOT what you think you dirty people!) Angel was trying to do his sash correctly for the ritual. Red sighed and pushed him to the door. "Go on or you'll be late! Higgy'll do you sash...and your hair...and...well she'll make sure you look more presentable then you are right now. Now take your car keys and go!" she threw him the keys and waited for him to leave.
Angel paused and looked back at his childe. Spike was looking at the floor and Angel could see the tears in his eyes. "William?" Spike sniffed and a tear fell from his eye. He wiped it away and lifted his head to meet his sire's gaze. Angel sighed before going back in and taking Spike in his arms, purring softly. "What is it childe?"
"You're...you're leaving. Last time you left you didn't come back." Spike sniffed again and a few tears fell onto Angel's ritual clothing.
"William." Angel pulled back and took Spike's face in his hands. "I promise I'll come back to ye. I swear that to ye childe. My William." He smiled when Spike relaxed slightly. For some reason Spike always felt calmer when he heard Angel slip into his Irish brogue. Kissing Spike's brow gently Angel released him and left without another word.
Red grinned and slammed the door behind him before turning round to face Spike. "DL's helping the scoobies, Higgy and Angel have gone out of town. It's just you and me Spike. This is going to be fun!" She bounced on her toes and waited to see the vampire's reaction.
Spike just gulped.
"Are you sure this is safe?"
"Spike! Come on!" Red pouted and stood straight on the tabletop in the kitchen. "You're going to be a master vampire! Unlive a little bit." She watched the vampire chew on his bottom lip. "It'll be fun and you wont think about your fangs hurting will you? Plus you need attention and while I'm here, you'll get Red attention."
"I can't help but think that Red attention will end in detention." Spike muttered as Red pulled him up beside her and turned on the CD player she had got from her room. "Are you sure we can do this?"
"Spike. If you don't stop worrying than Higgy'll be home before we have any fun. Now come on take a deep breath and relax." She waited for the vampire to do so. "Besides Higgy wont care if it keeps you in high spirits." Red grinned and made sure the video camera was pointing at them. She waited for Busted to start singing before she 'busted' jumped from the sideboard onto the sofa holding Spike's hand so he had to do it too.
Red laughed as Spike nearly fell over and she steadied him before grabbing his hands and dancing. Spike grinned and joined in once he'd regained his footing. "What is this crap?" He yelled over all the noise. Red paused in her dancing and pushed him backwards onto the sofa.
"BUSTED!" she yelled and hit him with a pillow. Spike squeaked and tried to protect his head from the oncoming attack while Red squealed with laughter. However, it was soon silenced when Spike found another pillow and began hitting her as well. Since he was merely playing and not intentionally hurting Red, Spike found that the chip wouldn't go off. He began laughing when Red's pillow burst and feathers began floating everywhere.
Red giggled and blew a handful into Spike's face. He growled playfully and pounced on her. Soon the potential and vampire were rolling around on the floor in a heated wrestling match. "Give up chippy, you can't beat me!"
"Bloody well watch me woman!"
Red giggled and smirked evilly at Spike. "You know, Angel told me a little secret of yours yesterday..." Spike yelped as Red began tickling his ribs. He tried to curl up in a ball but it was to no avail, the girl was persistent in her attack. He shrieked and began thrashing about to try and knock the girl off but she wouldn't stop.
"Red...Red!" he gasped between unneeded breaths. "Stop...STOP IT!" He laid back when Red did stop and collapse in a similar fashion to him. "That was fun!" he laughed and had to lay back again when he found he couldn't breathe. Not that he needed to, it just felt nice to breathe sometimes. Red nodded from beside him and sat up.
"And now, we get to the best bit."
"There's more?"
"This is the best bit."
"It's been the best bit for the whole film!"
"But this is the best of the best bits."
Spike rolled his eyes and pulled the duvet they were sharing up to his chin. He and Red were curled up on the sofa watching 'Back to the Future'. The girl had insisted they have a sleep over in the living room and they were both in their pyjamas and were surrounded by popcorn they had failed to catch in their mouths. Spike wriggled again and Red just poked him. "What's up with you? That's the fifth time you've wriggled since Marty put on the tux."
"Nothing." Spike mumbled and tried to ignore the constant itching in his fangs. He didn't want to ruin the perfect day by acting like a baby. They had had the best time. After the pillow fight, they had played on the PS2, taken photos of each other and stuck them on DL's bedroom wall, hidden Angel's hair gel, after the sun had gone down they had gone paddling in the sea before killing a few demons and heading home. Overall it had been a good day and Spike wasn't going to ruin it.
"You want your dummy?"
Okay maybe this wouldn't ruin it. "Yes please." He screwed up his eyes and tried to block out the tingles of pain that were running through his fangs. They were beginning to bleed again and he was determined not to show Red what a baby he was. When Red appeared from Higgy's room with the dummy in hand, he quickly took it and began chewing on the teat. Hopefully it would work this time.
However, after ten minutes of feeling like someone was pulling out his fangs he whimpered slightly and felt Red's hand encircle his. "Spike? You want me to help?"
"How?" He closed his eyes and tried not to picture a nearly master vampire asking for help from a girl.
"Here." She took the dummy from his mouth and went into the kitchen. Spike focused on the slight padding of her bare feet on the cold tiles to distract himself form the burning feeling he was the victim of. "Open up." When she was back Spike opened his mouth obediently and was surprised when the feeling almost completely disappeared. He chewed on the dummy and savoured the blackcurrant flavour he could taste.
"'S nice." He mumbled as he felt his eyelids droop. What ever it was it was good and he wanted to sleep now. Curl up here on the warm sofa with his head on Red's shoulder and dream of nice things.
"It's called Tyxilix." Red smiled as she felt Spike drop off to sleep. "It's what parents use to get their kids to sleep in England." Spike simply purred.
