Unwelcome Visitors
Part two
Tinkling bells echoed around the seemingly deserted shop as Spike ducked through the door. Pulling his slightly smoking duster off his head he scowled at the cheerful sound, muttering under his breath about poncy shopkeepers and bleedin bells. Carefully avoiding the late afternoon sun slanting through the window he threw his duster back over his shoulders.
"Oi , where is everyone"
Xander's head popped into view from behind the stacks of books piled on the counter, dark hair falling into his eyes. Leaning around them towards the door, he shouted out in a cheerful voice.
"Giles we have company the semi evil undead have come a calling"
"What's the matter whelp, need a hand with those"
Spike eyed the piles of books warily, rocking back on his heels as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets. Xander watched him, his brown eyes narrowing,
"No Spike I'm not paying you to help - I don't get paid so neither do you"
Spike looked crestfallen, but Xander could see mirth lurking in the clear blue eyes
"I'm shattered that you think me so shallow pet, my heart will never be the same"
He even laid his hand over said heart for effect, Xander smiled fondly at him and Spikes world tilted at the radiant sight before him.
*Gods he's beautiful and he doesn't even know it *
" Spike your an evil undead vampire, you don't have a heart"
Spikes eyes dimmed a little at the calmly spoken words, even said as a joke it hurt him.
* If you only knew Xanpet, Okay pull yourself together Will, you've been waitin for a chance to get the boy alone, now do something. *
Sidling over to the counter Spike moved quietly behind it, Xander drew in a sharp breath as Spike invaded his personal space. His chocolate brown eyes wide as Spike stopped so close he felt his breath on his face. Looking down he took Xander's nerveless hand in his and placed it over his heart. Lifting his head, sky blue eyes pierced Xander to the core.
"Oh I have a heart pet or I wouldn't be doin this"
His other hand snaked around Xander's neck pulling him slowly down to his lips. Xander's eyes fluttered closed as he felt cool lips touch his own warm ones, a tongue gently questing over his bottom lip and he opened his mouth without thought, lost in the moment. Spike groaned and slid his tongue into incredible warmth, soft..wet.. warmth, exploring gently while his hand tangled in the silken strands of Xander's hair.
*Oh godohgodohgodohgodthis is so goooood* Xander's hand clutched at Spikes shirt,
*Ohmygod think brain, this is a guy, your kissing a guy * The kiss deepened his body surging with blood, all of which decided to go to his head
*ohhhhhhyeaahhhhhhanditfeelssoooogood * His other head, as he felt his free hand find Spike's hip and pull him closer.
* moremoremoreneedmoreofhimmorespikemorewill *
Spike moaned as the movement rubbed his growing erection against Xander's, the sharp shock of desire making the mortal whimper into Spikes mouth. For a moment they strained against each other mindlessly, Spike was delighted as Xander not only let himself be kissed but actively participated. It seemed that for the boy rational thought had not only left him but it had and taken his inhibitions on holiday with it.
" Umm.. Ahem " a loud noise of someone clearing their throat caused Xander's eyes to snap open and he jumped back. His hand going to his bruised lips, eyes wide and terrified, Spike growled in frustration
* I'm gonna rip that watcher a bloody new one * then he gentled his features, concentrating on calming his boy.
"Are you okay pet"
"No, no,no.and again no.... I am so.. not okay, I can not stress that enough. Do I look okay, I was just kissing a guy, and not just any guy but an evil undead guy, and I am soooooo not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that, but no, no I, um, I um, gotta go now so bye" babbling all the way Xander managed to inch past a reluctant Spike and flee out the door. The blonde moved to follow him but found his path blocked by an irate watcher.
"Spike what did you think you were doing, Xander is very young and I sincerely doubt if he's ever had thoughts about men in that way. Its not fair of you to play with him like that"
Giles took off his glasses and polished them absently, a ritual that always calmed him, while regarding the strangely quiet vampire before him. Even though Spike was one of them now but he was still a demon and as such had to be treated ... carefully. In the past months a lot of the vampires obnoxious personality had toned down as he got used to having real friends, human friends. His constant need to be the centre of attention had settled, Giles often thought of him as he would a toddler. Not that he'd ever dare to say that to Spike but the blonde vampire had become family to them all. Buffy and Spike still spat and clawed at each other but what brother and sister didn't. Willow, Tara and Dawn adored him, as he often went out of his way to do things for them that he would never admit to doing, but which they all knew he did. Xander and Spike had also become close friends, as the bleached one helped the young man cope with the pain of Anya leaving him at the alter. Giles could see Spike was attracted to Xander, blind freddy could have seen it, but he never thought Xander would see Spike that way.
"Sod off Rupert, 'm not playin with him, I .." he pulled up sharply as Giles put his glasses back on and stared at him. His mouth dropped open as he realised what Spike meant, not that he thought that the vampire was incapable of love, but rather that he might admit to it.
"You have feelings for him, Spike, are you an idiot, he's still not over Anya leaving him. How do you know he even feels anything for you at all?"
Spike dropped his eyes, but not before Giles saw the sadness in them, gently he reached out and put his hand on Spikes leather clad shoulder.
"Spike, your not in love with him are you?"
"snunoyorbusiness" came the reply as Spike refused to meet his eyes. Giles squeezed his shoulder and released him
" Just go slowly then, Xander's never had a stable relationship, let alone a gay relationship. Are you prepared if he doesn't want to be with you that way."
Spike raised his head, his usual cocky expression in place, eyes suspiciously bright "S'ok watcher I'll be right, I can only hope can't I"
"Yes Spike you can hope"
