chapter 14
By the time they got back to the dorm it was almost sunrise because they had stopped off at their new place to get some clothes for Spike. "Hey Buffy how are you feeling?" Willow asked when she saw the couple walk in. "I'm fine just a little tired." Buffy said laying down on her bed. Willow looked at Spike who just shook his head and Willow understood. "Well I'll make sure to get your notes from class for you." Willow said and Buffy nodded. "Thanks Wills." Buffy said and then fell asleep. "So how is she actually doing?" Willow asked and Spike just looked at her then at Buffy. "I'm not sure she's putting on a brave face but I know she's hurting. And I think she's still trying to see if I would leave her like everyone else, but I'm not going anywhere." Spike said and Willow smiled at him. "You really love her." Willow stated and Spike just nodded. "More then anything else ever." Spike said then went to lay next to Buffy. Willow smiled at him and then left for class.
Buffy woke up a few hours later still wrapped up in Spike's arms. She just laid there for a while watching him sleep. Willow walked in a few minutes after Buffy had woke up. Buffy looked up and smiled at her
"How you feeling?" Willow asked and Buffy shrugged. "I'll be fine eventually." Buffy sighed which made Willow's heart break. "It makes it a little easier having Spike here to help me get through it." Buffy said and Willow nodded. "He really loves you." Willow said which got a smile from Buffy. "I love him too." Buffy said then kissed Spike on his head. "Hey Wills you know that talk we were suppose to have?" Willow nodded. "Well I think we should talk now." Buffy said and Willow nodded looking a little nervous. "It's nothing bad Wills. It's just that Spike. He asked me to move in with him. It's really a great house. You will like it and you could ask Tara to stay here with you and I'll come back to visit and well have." "Buffy your babbling." Willow said which caused Buffy to blush. "It's ok. If you want to move in with Spike I'm fine with it. I'll miss you but it'll be ok." Willow said and Buffy just smiled getting up and going to hug Willow. "I'll miss you too Wills but we'll still see each other all the time. And you should come and see our new place it's gorgeous." Buffy said and Willow laughed. "I will. So you really love him?" Willow asked and Buffy smiled. "More then anything." Buffy said looking over at Spike. "Love you too pet." Spike said sitting up. Buffy smiled at him and walked over into his open arms.
"How long you been awake?" Buffy asked and Spike just looked at her. "Just woke up. Why you at talking about me?" Spike asked and Buffy just smiled. "Maybe." Buffy said and Spike just raised an eyebrow. "Maybe?" Spike smirked and Buffy just giggled. Willow watched the banter between the two and smiled happy that Buffy was happy. "We were discussing if I wanted to leave today or at the end of the week." Buffy said watching Spike's face light up at that. "And what was the answer to that?" Spike asked and Buffy glanced at Willow who just nodded. "Tonight." Buffy said then the next thing she knew she was in Spike's arms. Buffy giggled as Spike picked her up and kissed her. Willow laughed with the happy couple.
"So lets get started." Buffy said after she pulled away from Spike. Buffy went towards her closet but was stopped by two strong arms around her waist. Buffy looked over her shoulder at Spike who just shook his head. "No way missy you are to go and sit your cute butt back on that bed and let me do this. " Spike stated and got a dirty look from Buffy. "Why it's my stuff." Buffy pouted and Spike just shook his head. "I don't care you need to take it easy luv. I wouldn't last without you. So just take it easy and sit on the bed. You can tell me what's yours and what's not." Spike said as he picked up Buffy and set her on the bed. "Ok fine." Buffy huffed pretending to put up a fight but actually loving the fact that Spike was willing to take care of her. Willow tried her hardest not to laugh but when Spike set Buffy on the bed a little giggle escape. "Red forgot you were here." Spike said turning away. "OH look he's embarrassed that he's not the big bad anymore." Buffy teased and Spike was on her in an instant. "Want me to show you big bad?" Spike asked from his position on top of her. Buffy just giggled.
