Part 6: Buffy's Speech
AN: Sorry an update has been so long in coming!
I'm more of a slasher now, and there4 have been finding it quite difficult to continue with my het fics. But, here you go! Hope you enjoy!
"Giles, Spike has always been a special case. If you're right, and the Powers have given him a soul, they're not exactly gonna let him die from a fall after saving my life!"
They'd all jumped at the sound of Buffy's voice, still slightly groggy with sleep, but listened attentively, specially with the determination lacing every word.
"So, he's delirious? Aren't you just meant to keep delirious people healthy and comfortable until they come out of it?"
They all just looked at her for a moment, kinda shocked that Buffy even knew that.
After a second, Willow replied; "Well, yes, that is more or less how delirium cases are treated - with humans. We don't know how to treat a vampire."
"So? We just treat him as best we can, and as soon as he comes out of it, we show him I'm not dead, and he'll be all better!" Buffy said, in an over-perky manner of someone determined to sound optimistic.
That was when Xander decided to but in. "Buffy, I have to ask, since when have you cared two bits for Spike?"
Buffy's faux optimism faded in a second, and she rounded on Xander.
"Xander, he's sick! Would you like me to leave you in a state of delirium?!"
Xander had the decency to look slightly abashed, but immediately bounced back with, "Yeah, but it's Spike!"
"So? How long has he been helping us Xander? He loves Dawn, he's good for her. And he has a soul now to! He's family! Just like you! And I l- I care about him! So, we, are, gonna, help, him. OK?" she finished menacingly.
They all nodded, and got to work. Pointedly not mentioning Buffy's near Freudian slip.
