Setting – Angel S5 – AU – Takes place in resurrected Sunnydale. Just imagine Wolfram & Hart worked some mojo and restored it to its former self. Spike and Darla come across each other and things develop between them.


Spike shrugged a shoulder as he took another drag of his cigarette, "Like I said, I had no where else to go." He shook his head and spoke with a slight trace of disappointment and bitterness in his voice. "You got that right. I had been bored out of my mind until tonight." He tilted his head to the side and looked at her curiously, "So, what are you going to do then. Are you going to stay here?" He wanted her to stay, but he wasn't sure why completely. He looked her over slowly, taking in her form. She hadn't changed, but in a way she had. Her whole manner was different and he liked it a lot, realising that maybe she was like this when she wasn't around Angelus. He wondered how even a mean bastard like Angelus couldn't soften towards her when she was like this. But then Dru had more or less been the same with him. He looked into her eyes and found himself not being able to look away.

Darla smiled playfully at him, "Oh really? No fun until tonight?" and she bit her bottom lip. She was always known for her teasing and games, and she couldn't help but play with Spike. She always knew when someone liked her, even if they tried to hide it. This excited her, taking another slow drag, she then had another shot of JD.

She thought to herself for a moment on whether to stay or not. Hmm I can have fun playing with Spike if I stay, but if I go I'd probably end up at Angel's. She couldn't bear to face him. She felt her face show her true emotion for Angel, she smiled softly, thinking about how close they had gotten, and knowing it was all different now.

"I think I might stay in town for a while, but find something fun to do here," she said, smiling directly into Spikes eyes.

Spike felt himself squirm on the inside at her words. He shrugged nonchalantly, "Well, it's always nice to see someone unexpectedly. Especially if you haven't seen that someone for a long time," and he took a drag of his cigarette and his eyes wandered to her lip as she bit it. Unconsciously licking his own he looked back into her eyes. He frowned slightly as he saw an emotion flicker across her face but thought best not to mention it.

He carried on looking into her eyes as she spoke. Leaning forwards so he was closer to her he spoke quietly, "And what do you think you will be able to find that's fun then?"

Darla noticed him move closer to her, she couldn't help but smile. She wanted him to make the first move, even if she had to wait all night long.

Turning to look into his eyes she quietly spoke, "I don't know yet, maybe someone fun to play with." She raised her eyebrows at him, giving him a playful smile, while moving her hand onto his leg.

Spike kept on looking into her eyes as she spoke. He raised his eyebrows when she put her hand on to his leg. "Well, maybe I can help you with that then," and he grinned cheekily. Taking her hand off his leg and holding it in his, he stood up. He smiled and pulled her to her feet gently and led her over to the middle of the dance floor. He moved behind her, placing his hands at her waist and moving in close against her. As he started to move slowly in time with the music, he moved his head so his lips were close to her ear. "Maybe we can find you something fun to play with in here?" and he started to scan the dance floor as he continued to dance with her, keeping his lips close to her ear.
