Spike and Winnie had been together for three months now. Spike had come to the conclusion that they were wasting money on their apartments, they seemed to alternate whose apartment they stayed at every week. Even though they had only been dating for three months, Spike had decided to ask Winnie to move in with him, so he had planned to ask Winnie when they both had a free moment at work. Spike was doing some research in the briefing room when he saw Winnie stand up from her desk muting her headset while making her way into the break room. Spike got up and followed her, it was now or never. He closed the door behind him; Winnie turned around and smiled at him.
"Enjoying the quiet day?" she asked,
"Not really. It's boring!"
Winnie laughed and picked up an apple, "want one?"
"Nah I'm fine. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
"I was wondering...if...you...er...you..."
"Spike what is it?" asked Winnie as she smiled at him, this gave Spike the needed push to ask Winnie.
"I was wondering if you wanted us to move in together"
"Yes"
"Now you don't need to answer right now-"
"Spike I said yes!"
"No listen to what- wait. You did?!"
"Yes I did. I thought you'd never ask" smiled Winnie; she laughed at the bemused look on Spike's face. Spike seemed to come out of his trance and moved towards Winnie and hugged her tight, Winnie then reached up and kissed him. They were so captured in the moment they didn't hear the door open until.
"Oh come on you two! I told you about holding hands but this is even worse!" protested Ed, Spike turned around to see the look on Ed's face and Spike just smiled.
"If this keeps up I'm going to make sure you're put on different shifts!"
"You wouldn't do that would you Ed?" pouted Spike,
"Not right now, but if I walk in on anything like this again I might just be pushed towards that option!"
"Meanie" huffed Spike "we were just celebrating that we are going to be moving in together"
"Well congratulations" smiled Ed, "but I don't want to be walking in to see any of that. Understood?"
"You got it" replied Spike, Winnie nodded. Ed then turned around and left the room.
Winnie looked back up at Spike and said "I better get back to my desk"
"See you later"
"Am I going to yours or are you coming to mine?"
"You come to mine, it's your turn anyway" smiled Spike, Winnie laughed as she left the break room.
Three hours later Spike and Winnie were snuggled up on Spike's couch watching a movie he didn't even know the name of. Winnie picked it, Spike was just happy to snuggle next to Winnie on the couch. Winnie had also made the decision that while watching the movie they would eat some chocolate (great idea in Spike's opinion) and wear their pyjama's (Spike had protested this exclaiming "I'm not some teenage girl at a slumber party!" and Winnie had replied "it's just in case we fall asleep and besides I want to" Spike couldn't argue with that. He could never say no to Winnie and she knew it!)
The movie had finished and Spike looked down to see Winnie had fallen asleep. Spike chuckled and shifted out from underneath Winnie and then picked her up and carried her into his bedroom. He tucked her in under the covers, went back to turn the T.V off and the lights. He climbed into bed beside Winnie and held her against him, he kissed her on her forehead and whispered "sweet dreams sweetheart" and her soft breathing lulled him into a peaceful sleep.
