Chapter 4
3 Days Later, Summers Home
Buffy quietly walked into the guestroom that Spike was currently staying in. She shut the door and sat on the side of his bed. He had been sleeping on and off for the past three days and it was starting to worry her. From talking to Angel she knew his transformation was supposed to be very painful, but it looked like he was sleeping through most of it. She was startled out of her thoughts when she heard him moan and try and get up. Buffy had put her hand on his chest to push him back down when she let out a shaken yelp and yanked her hand back. She realized then that the changeling demon had healed him.
Spike opened his eyes and looked around the room he had been placed in. His eyes where drawn to Buffy sitting on the bed when she removed her hand from his chest rather quickly. Spike looked down when she grabbed his hand and gently put it on his chest. He gasped when he could feel a thumping in his chest. Quickly he flung the bed sheet away and stumbled towards the window. Spike slowly pulled the curtains back and stuck his hand into the sunlight streaming into the room.
Buffy smiled at the look of wonderment on Spikes face when the sunlight didn't burn him. She quietly walked over to him and opened the window wide. She then walked behind him and hugged him so the sun was still falling on him. Buffy didn't even flinch when he sharply turned around and crushed her to his chest. She did look up surprised however when she felt tears running down her neck where he had nestled his head. "You realize what this means right?" he whispered so quietly she wouldn't have heard him if she didn't have slayer healing.
"You get to go out in the sun again without worrying," she answered.
"No," he replied. She looked up surprised thinking she had been right. "I get to be out in the sun with you without worrying."
She smiled brightly and kissed his cheek then said, "When your stronger we can start going outside." When he started to complain she pulled away from him enough to look up at his face and said , "This way you can do a lot more since you'll be stronger. I know it's going to be hard to lay in bed and just watch through the window but you have to. Besides, I'll be there to keep you occupied."
Spike smirked when she said that particular statement and replied, "You'll do anything to keep me occupied right?" he questioned. She smiled up at him and nodded. "Well then lets keep me occupied." The next thing Buffy knew Spike had thrown her on the bed and straddled her. "Are you sure you can keep me occupied for a few days," he asked.
"Oh I'm sure I can manage," she said happily.
