AN: I do not own Cowboy Bebop and I never will; isn't that depressing?
Faye watched Spike from afar while he starred into the bathroom window. 'What is he thinking about?' she asked herself in her head. Shaking her head she tried getting rid of those thoughts, she placed a smile on her face and walked over to Spike.
"Hey," she said and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Spike sort of jumped, pulled from his thoughts. Turning his head he looked at Faye and said, "Yo" with a smug smile.
Faye didn't buy it, "What's the matter with you? You've been starring at yourself in the mirror for a good 10 minutes." She said.
"What a man can't stare at himself in the mirror? Women do it all the time but once a man does it something has to be wrong." Spike teased.
"Hey now, I just thought something was wrong." She said and folded her arms and stuck her nose up in the air.
"Well," Spike got close to Faye's ear and whispered, "There you go thinking again." He kissed her on the cheek and began walking away.
Faye blushed a little and then his words finally came together, "HEY YOU LUG HEAD!" Faye yelled. Spike merely chuckled to himself as he began to pull out a box of cereal.
Faye threw her hands up in frustration and walked over to a cabinet and got 2 bowls out. As she began to pour her cereal she noticed Spike had drifted off again. Rolling her eyes she set down the cereal box and nudged Spike, "So tell me, what's the matter?" she asked.
Spike shook his head and grabbed the box of cereal and continued to go on as if he had not heard what Faye had said.
"Do not ignore me buddy." Faye said and grabbed the cereal box back, "Tell me what's wrong." She demanded.
"It's nothing, I'm just having those weird dreams again." Spike said and tried reaching for the cereal box.
"The ones with Julia and I?" Faye asked and handed the box to him.
"Yes, almost exactly like the ones I had before. At first it'd be Julia and then she'd just transform into you." Spike said as he poured the cereal and got up to get the milk.
Faye sat there for a moment, "So what happened in the dream?" she asked.
Spike walked back over to his bowl, with milk in hand and poured; ignoring Faye's question once again.
Faye grabbed Spike's face with her hand and turned it toward her, "Don't ignore me." She said again.
Spike swatted awayher handand set down the milk, "I had a dream that I died, Julia was there at first she was talking about how I shouldn't have been released from the hospital, and there was this song in the background it was eerie. I started bleeding from my nose and ears, my mouth began to foam, and I started having these convulsions." Spike stopped and looked at Faye who was staring intently at him, taking a deep breath he continued. "Then I started dying, and Julia came down toward me and that's when I noticed the color of her eyes, they were green. Green likes yours," Spike said and ran the back of his hand against Faye's cheek; she nuzzled it. "You wrapped your arms around me and I started to black out, I think you might've been crying. Then I said you're name, and died."
Faye's eyes were wide, "I swear to god you have some of the weirdest dreams." She said and shook her head. The dream did rattle her up; she felt like a train had hit her.
"Yeah…" Spike said and began eating his cereal, trying to take his mind off the dream he studied the cereal box.
Faye sat there and then looked over toward Spike, "It's only a dream right?" Faye said, well more like asked for reassurance.
Spike felt her eyes on him but he did not look up; he merely shrugged, he didn't really know what to think. All of his dreams consisted of someone dying and all of them felt so real. Faye got up from her chair and went behind Spike and wrapped her arms around him.
A smile formed on Spike's lips as he placed a hand on top of Faye's, 'It was only a dream,' Faye thought to herself over and over again.
Faye was shaken from her thoughts when she felt Spike tense up, "What's the matter?" Faye asked scared.
"Shhh," Spike said and listened, he had heard footsteps out in the hallway. It was too early for anyone in the apartment to be walking around; slowly he got up from his chair and walked toward the door.
"Spike!" Faye whispered with fierceness.
Spike put a finger up to his mouth and continued to walk toward the door. Looking through the peephole he saw nothing, it was black.
'Someone's out there,' Spike thought to himself as he turned from the door and started for his room to get his gun, luckily he knew where the creaks in the floor were at so he made not a sound.
Faye was getting irritated so she started for the door to have a look for herself but Spike had caught her just in time and whispered, "Don't move Faye."
"Why the hell not? What the fuck is going on out there?" she whispered.
"Someone's out there," Spike said as he began to load his gun.
"So what? Other people do live her Spike." Faye and folded her arms.
"It's too early, I'm always up around this time and no one is ever awake. Come toward my room and be quiet." Spike ordered as he cocked his gun back.
Faye swiftly walked over to Spike's room and was now right in front of him, "Hold on let me get my gun." Faye said as she began to go fetch for it.
Spike grabbed her arm and twirled her around to face him, "No, you stay here. I don't need you getting hurt." Spike said.
"I'm not as helpless as you seem to think I am Spike, I can take care of myself too you know." Faye said getting angry and raising her voice.
Spike placed a hand over her mouth and listened for the footsteps. He heard them getting closer and closer to the door, pushing Faye onto his bed he headed for the door once again.
He prayed his dream wouldn't come true.
