'So Ed was back, and all was right in the world.' Faye thought and began to laugh to herself. It was anything but right, her and Spike went back to their original bickering and petty fights that lasted maybe a whole 5 minutes at the most.
She didn't really mind them all that much, it actually gave her a reason to speak well yell at him. But she didn't understand why either of them just couldn't have a reasonable conversation. When it was just them on the Bebop they had talked, flirted, kissed ect.
'Probably all changed because Ed is here now and Jet was due back any day now, and he didn't want to act as though something might've happened.' Faye sighed and shut her eyes, now lying in her bed.
Ed had already set up her computer and was tapping away on the contraption. Ein was seated next to her as she rapidly tapped keys and making unusual humming noises. Spike sat on the yellow couch supposedly watching the television but his mind was elsewhere.
He noticed how his and Faye's relationship changed when Ed had came back they seemed quite distant. Spike's eyes wandered over to Faye's door that was half shut, he noticed that the lights were off.
'She spends a lot of time in there now, her room that is. Only coming out when she needed to eat, or get sunlight or whatever women need.' Spike thought to himself.
'She probably feels indifferent around you now,' the voice popped out of thin air.
'Well it's her fault too you know? I wasn't the only kissing, she made her contribution.' Spike spat back at the voice.
'But you've been acting weird around her, like you two have just met or something,' the voice said back.
Spike was silent for a moment, 'Yeah so what? She has been acting just the same around me.' Spike thought back feeling triumphant.
'So why not be the bigger person, no wait MAN and talk to her?' the voice said getting annoyed with Spike's antics.
Spike sighed in frustration and got up from the couch and walked toward Faye's door, "What are you doing Spike?" Ed asked as she was now lying on her back looking up at him.
"Going to go and talk with Faye," Spike said as he began to open the door wider.
"Ooooooh Faye-faye has been acting weird! So have you," Ed said as she failed her arms wildly and made weird sounds.
"You're the one to talk," and with that he walked into Faye's room and noticed that she was sleeping. Grabbing a chair he brought it over to the side of the bed that Faye had her back to, he reached his hand out to light rub her back but pulled away quickly.
"What are you doing in here?" Faye asked groggily.
Spike looked surprise for a moment or two but quickly replaced it with a cool grin, "How'd you know I came in here?" Spike asked curiously.
Faye turned over and looked at Spike, "I'm not a very deep sleeper," she said and smiled.
Spike let out a small laugh, "Yeah, thanks for letting me know for next time," he said sarcastically.
Faye sat up and stretched, she seemed to be sleeping a lot more now it was...odd. "So what do you want Spike? Hungry or something?" Faye asked.
Spike merely shook his head and replied back, "No just came in here to have a little chat with you."
"About what?" Faye asked quickly.
"Whew chill out there, nothing really. Just thought that I'd come in here and talk to you." Spike said as if he was on the stand.
"Oh..." Faye said slowly feeling a little embarrassed that she had jumped to such conclusions. But you couldn't blame her; just with the way things had been going between both of them.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them for a few minutes, Spike drew out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. Looking up he offered a smoke to Faye and she took one gladly, he pulled out his Zippo and lit their cigarettes.
Faye loosely let her cigarette dangle from her lips as small puffs of smoke came out of her mouth finally she spoke.
"So did you have any more weird dreams?" Faye asked feeling herself get the chills for a moment.
Spike took a drag off his cigarette and blew out a stream of smoke, but never answered her question.
Faye began to ask again but Spike cut her off, "Yes..."
Faye's eyes went wide and she dropped her cigarette into her lap burning her thigh, "Oh shit!" Faye screamed as she picked up the cigarette and tossed it onto the metal floor and rubbed the burn.
Spike instantly got up and put out his and kneeled in front of Faye, "Here..." he said and pulled Faye's hand away from the burn.
Slowly he began to blow breathes of air onto the burn, Faye admitted that she felt the pain subside and then it drifted from her mind as he concentrated on Spike and how he was blowing on her.
She giggled quietly but not quiet enough because Spike heard her and he looked up at her, "What is so funny? You always seem to be laughing at me one way or another, I could be naked in front of you or I could be trying to help you and you giggle." Spike said getting irritated.
"Aw," Faye said, "Are you getting upset with me? I thought you liked me laugh." Faye said innocently.
"No, and I never said I liked you laugh," Spike said as he got up from his kneeling spot and back to his chair. Faye felt a little hurt by his words but she wasn't going to let him get away with that.
"Oh really now?" Faye said as she walked over to where Spike sat and stood in front of him.
Spike looked up at her from his sitting position and only smirked and looked the other way. Faye slowly walked around the chair and draped her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, "What's so wrong with my laugh?"
Spike felt her hot breath on his ear and it tingled, the hotness of her from her breath made his body go wild. Slowly Faye ran her hands down his chest and stopped right above the line of his pants. She lingered there and began to travel down further but immediately pulled up and walked away from him.
She went over to her and door and looked over at the Spike whose breathing seemed to be a little uneven, "Are you alright Spikey dear?" Faye asked.
Spike looked up at her and mumbled, "That was cruel..."
"Tough love," Faye said and giggled as she walked out of the room.
Spike watched her and thought to himself, 'She does have a very nice laugh...'
'So Ed was back, and all was right in the world.' Faye thought and began to laugh to herself. It was anything but right, her and Spike went back to their original bickering and petty fights that lasted maybe a whole 5 minutes at the most.
