Hey guys! I'm so so so sorry for not updating for damn long time! I'm such a slacker lately. My life is again crazy buzy with studying and stuff. I have a college interview and English oral exam on March 4th, (which is the last college exam I'll take!) and I have to study for it. And I was also working on my new story with Angelus/William/Liam pairing for a couple of weeks. I've written almost 4300 words on that one but it's still far from done and I'm kinda stuck right now. So I decided to write this chap of Lifeblood first. This chap is really short 'cause I have a big plan for the next chap! You'll know what it is when you read this chap. I hope you guys like this chap as well and tell me what you think!

LIFEBLOOD

CHAPTER 10

"Come on in, baby," Angel said, holding the front door of his apartment with his hand. His other arm was loosely circling the younger boy's waist.

Spike gave Angel a weak smile and walked in. When they both entered in the apartment and Angel closed the door, Spike turned around and circled his arms around the brunette's neck. He placed a soft kiss on Angel's lips and asked unsurely, "Angel?"

"Yes, Spike?" Angel asked with a sweet smile on his face, gazing into the boy's blue orbs.

"Will you... Will you make love to me?" the blonde asked hesitantly. He looked down and averted his gaze from the older man. His cheeks were blushing bright red.

Angel placed his fingers under the blonde's chin and made him looked up so he could see him eye-to-eye. He stared down at him for a while and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Angel. I'm sure. I want you to be my first," Spike stated firmly with a huge smile on his face. He had never been so sure about anything in his life. He wanted Angel to touch him and feel the fire building inside him.

"I..." Angel hesitated. "Baby, I do love you and want to show you how much. But I can't take advantage of you when you're upset. I don't want you to regret it later." Angel did not want to hurt the boy any more than he already had. He could not deny that the idea was appealing but he did not think he could go on if he saw Spike regretting his actions the morning after. He wanted the boy to be really sure about the decision since the first experience would be a huge step for him. He wanted to make it absolutely perfect.

"Angel, I'm not gonna regret it. I love you, and I wanna feel you and you to feel me," Spike said persuasively. The words were true to his heart and he was sure Angel would be gentle and take care of him.

Angel stared at the blonde intently and said, "Alright, Spike. But not today. You've been out all night and you need a good rest. And don't argue with me, baby." Right now, he was too worried about Spike's health since he had spent the night in the park to think about having sex with him. Well, that was a lie but it was true that he did not want Spike to get sick or anything.

Spike stuck his lips out in a small pout and made sad-puppy-eyes. But he saw the other guy's expression was still determined and said, "Fine. I'll get some sleep, but will you come to bed with me?"

"Of course. But let me call Wes first, Ok? I gotta tell him that you're alright. Go to the bedroom and wait for me," Angel said sweetly and placed a soft peck on the blonde's forehead.

"OK," The blonde boy said with a grin on his face. He released his hold around Angel's neck and walked into the bedroom.

When Angel saw the boy disappear into his bedroom, he picked up his cell phone from his pocket and dialed his friend's number.

"Wes? It's me, Angel. I found him," he said, running his fingers through his brunette spikes.

"Oh, thank God! Is he alright?" the other man said, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, he's fine. He got lost and spent the night in the West Park," the brunette said, glancing toward the open bedroom door. He could not help thinking how scared Spike had been, being in a huge city like LA and not knowing where his home was. He cursed himself mentally.

"I'm glad he didn't end up in a bad neighborhood. LA can be really dangerous in the night. So... should I come and get him?" Wesley asked, not wanting to bother his friend any more.

"Nah. It's fine, Wes. He's sleeping right now and we really shouldn't disturb him. The boy needs some good peaceful sleep, and you should have some rest too," Angel suggested. Maybe Spike should sleep in his own home, but the brunette did not want to be separated from the boy right now. He needed to hold him and show him that he was safe in his arms.

"Yes. I suppose. I'll call the others and go home to get some sleep before going for work. Angel, thank you for taking care of him. He's very fond of you. I bet he'd rather spend time with you than here with me," Wes said, chuckling lightly.

"You know what, man? I like having him here, too. He's really a nice kid. Call me anytime when you want me to look after him, like when you wanna spend some time alone with Fred," Angel suggested as casually as possible. He hoped the other man would not suspect anything.

"Well, to be honest, Fred is coming over this weekend and uh... you know. I guess it'd be wonderful if he could stay over at your place for a night," Wes said with some embarrassment in his voice.

"Sure, no prob. Have fun with her. Well, I think I better go to bed myself. Thank God, I don't have to work today. Don't worry about Spike, alright? I'll be with him today and takes him home when he gets up," Angel said reassuringly. He was more than willing to take good care of the blonde teen.

"Thank you. I really appreciate it. Uh... Angel?" Wesley asked abruptly in an uneasy voice.

"Yeah?" Angel asked lightly.

"Oh, nothing. It's nothing. Really. Don't worry about it," Wesley said a bit strangely.

"You alright, Wes?" Angel asked, a worried frown on his face.

"Yes. I'm fine. Guess I'm just tired," Wesley said, laughing weakly.

"Well, then we'll talk later. Get some sleep," Angel said and hung up the phone. He sighed deeply and walked to the bedroom. When he stepped in, he saw Spike lying on the huge bed, wide awake.

The blonde was only in pair of boxers. A smile crept over his features when he saw the older man. "Hey, Angel."

"Hey, baby," Angel walked over to him and placed a peck on his full red lips, with his hand brushing blonde curls away from the boy's face. "You should go to sleep. Get some rest."

"I didn't want to. I wanted you to hold me when I fell asleep," Spike said shyly, blushing light red.

Angel gave him a sweet smile. He removed his shirt and pants, and climbed into the bed. He laid down on his side next to the blonde boy and embraced him around his waist. He asked gently, "Is this better?"

"Much better," Spike said, beaming at him. He also turned over on his side so that his back pressed against the brunette's hard chest. He felt so safe being held by his boyfriend. He never wanted to get out of the hold of Angel's strong arms.

Angel smiled at the boy's response and kissed his shoulder blade gently. "Now go to sleep, baby."

Ten minutes later, Spike asked in a soft, unsure voice, "Angel? You still awake?"

"Yeah?" Angel asked, tightening his arms around the blonde teen.

"The thing we talked about today... you know, I was serious. I really want you to make love to me," the smaller blonde said shyly.

Angel could see the blonde turning red. He said in soft, assuring voice, "I know, baby. I really know."

After a couple of minutes of silence, Angel spoke again. "Spike?"

"Huh?" the younger blonde asked in a muffled voice. He was half asleep. He felt Angel's hands caressing his abdomen and he places his own hands on those of the brunette's.

Angel whispered softly into the blonde boy's ear, "This weekend, Spike. This weekend,"

Later that afternoon, Spike woke up in Angel's strong arms, still tightly held. He had never felt so safe and loved before, but when he was held in those arms, he was sure Angel would protect him from anything. A small smile appeared on his face. He felt a wet mouth kissing his neck and could not suppress a husky moan.

Angel had been watching the sleeping blonde for an hour. Spike was the most adorable and beautiful boy he had ever seen. Angel never got tired of looking at him. Time went really fast when he was with his cute boyfriend. He noticed when the blonde stirred and could not help the urge to taste his silky, smooth skin. He kissed Spike's neck tenderly and received a sensual moan.

"Angel... Oh god..." Spike murmured the older brunette's name and tilted his head to give Angel better access to his sensitive neck. There was nothing Spike wanted more right then than to feel Angel's mouth and hands on his hot body.

"Baby... you taste so amazing," Angel whispered between sucking and licking the teen's sensitive spot on his neck. His big hands moved from around the boy's lean stomach to his chest to caress his pink, hard nipples. He rolled them teasingly, using his fingertips.

Spike gasped quietly. He wondered where the hell Angel learned to that. He was a very masculine man, yet he had sweetness and softness in his touch. Spike moved his own hand to the older man's brunette spikes and ran his fingers through them, trying to press Angel's mouth harder against his burning skin. He moaned, "Ah... Angel... it feels so good..."

Angel pinched the blonde teen's peaking nubs hard, but not enough to hurt him, just the right amount of hardness to give him more pleasure. His mouth left a wet trail from the blonde's neck to shoulder blade. He groaned deeply, "I can't get enough of you, sweetling."

"I give you all of myself, Angel. You can have me all," Spike murmured softly and hooked his leg over the brunette's strong thigh. He rubbed his butt against Angel's hardness. There was only the thin material of their boxers between them. The friction made the older man groan low and the younger blonde gasp.

Right now, Angel just wanted to get rid of the annoying boxers and slam into the beautiful boy. But rational side of his mind told him no. He could not take the boy like this. He had never cared about fucking guys and girls before. But not Spike. Not this beautiful boy. He did not want to have a meaningless fuck. He wanted to show how much he loved him and what he meant to him. He wanted to make the boy's first experience something the blonde would remember forever. He wanted to make love to Spike. Not to fuck him. Angel moved one of his hands and reached for the blonde's cheek. He turned Spike's head so that they could see each other's faces.

Spike whimpered when Angel's hands and mouth suddenly left his body. He looked into the other man's chocolate orbs in puzzlement. He wondered if he had done anything wrong. He asked with a little frown on his face, "Angel? What's wrong?"

Angel uttered a little sigh and ran his fingertips over the blonde teen's cheek. He said softly, "Spike... We better get out of the bed. Coz if we don't, I might lose my mind and do something we'll definitely regret later."

"Like I said, I won't regret it. I know for sure," Spike said, staring into the brunette's angelic face.

"I know. But I don't want this to be something taken lightly. Call me sappy but I want this to be as perfect as possible," Angel said firmly, petting Spike's cheek gently.

Spike could not help chuckling. "You're a sappy ponce, Angel. But the sweetest, most wonderful, and the best boyfriend I could ever hope to have," He said, grinning like a little child. He could not help but grin whenever he was with the older brunette.

Angel could not resist smiling when he saw his boyfriend's happy face. He placed a soft kiss on Spike's forehead and mussed up the blonde curls with his hand. Then he said, laughing, "Now, get up, baby. I'll fix us something to eat and take you home before Wes gets worried and comes here to see us like this."

"Fine," Spike said reluctantly and sat up on the bed, taking Angel with him. He turned his head and said, with a huge grin on his face, "So this weekend, huh?"

Angel chuckled softly and said, "Yep, this weekend."
