"Where are they?" Willow murmured, straightening her fuzzy pink sweater.
Buffy shifted her black slayer bag to her other shoulder. Instead of going for the sexy look, she went with the comfy look: a pair of gray sweatpants with a matching hoodie. "I don't know." Buffy replied, putting her hair into a messy bun. The next thing she knew, she was shoved. She instinctively got into her fighting stance and looked around. Kennedy stood in front of her with Doyle, smirks on both of their faces. Buffy was about to lunge for Kennedy's throat, when she felt arms encircle her waist and hold her back. She recognized the touch and relaxed.
Kennedy glared, "You better watch your back girly-girl." She and Doyle walked into the stadium.
"Girly-girl?! Let me at her!!!" Buffy struggled to break loose of Spike's grip.
Spike tightened his hold, "Down girl."
"One of these days, they're going to get what they deserve." Xander stated, his arm draped over Anya's shoulders.
Spike let go of Buffy, but put one arm around her waist, "Yeah. Cause they're messing with the Slayer." He kissed the top of her head.
"Where's Oz and the others?" Willow asked.
"They didn't feel like coming. They wanted to boink." Anya explained.
Buffy smiled weakly, "Thanks for the bluntness."
Tara looked at her watch, "We better get in."
"…Number forty-one, Riley Finn!!" the announcer, Jonathan Levinson, announced. The crowd cheered. "And finally, your quarter back and resident dream boy, number eleven, ANGEL O'CONNOR!!!"
Buffy and the others sat at the very top bleachers. Spike blinked, "Yay."
"How long do we have to stay?" Xander asked.
Spike sighed, "The whole time."
"Oh man." the group whined.
Down on the field, Darla glanced up at the stands, "Check that out."
Cordy looked at her, "What?"
"Buffy, Willow, and the freaks are here." Darla answered.
"Buffy's probably here to see if Riley'll give her a second chance."
"Think he will?"
"Probably. He likes her."
"Harm's gonna have a cow."
After the game, Buffy and Spike were standing outside the boys' locker room. Spike, much to his dismay, had to interview Angel. The door opened and Angel and Riley walked out, they stopped when they saw the couple. "Ah, the star reporter. Here for an interview?" Angel joked.
"Yeah. Let's just get this over with." Spike sighed.
As the two guys talked, Riley smiled at Buffy, "Hey."
"Hi."
"What'd you think of my winning touchdown?" He kept advancing on her.
"It was…a touchdown." Buffy noticed his closeness. Spike, hurry up before I do something I'll regret.
As if hearing her thoughts, Spike put his notebook in his duster, and shook Angel's hand. "Come on love."
Riley grabbed Buffy's wounded arm, "Maybe she doesn't want to go with you."
Buffy wriggled out of his grasp, cringing as her cut came in contact with his hand, "Riley! I don't like you! Get that through your thick head!"
Riley crossed his arm, "Prove it."
Buffy smiled. She put her arms around Spike's neck and kissed him passionately. He put his arms around her waist and pushed her up against the wall. She brought her legs up around her waist, pulling him closer to her.
Riley looked heartbroken as he walked away with Angel. "Oh get a room!" Xander yelled down the hall.
Buffy and Spike detangled from each other and blushed. They linked hands and walked down the hall. "What were you two doing?" Willow asked.
"Proving a point." Buffy answered.
"And what point was that? How flexible you are?" Xander joked.
"Proving to Riley I don't like him." Buffy explained.
"Did you get your interview?" Tara asked.
"Yes. Now we can go." Spike said.
"Okay. That was the quietest I've ever seen a cemetery." Buffy said as she entered Spike's apartment.
Spike closed the door and took his duster off, "Thank God for his many blessings."
Buffy took off her hoodie and straightened her pink spaghetti strap shirt. She flopped on to the couch, "Giles is going to think that's suspicious."
Spike sat next to her and put his arm around her, "Yeah. Oh well." They were silent for a while, enjoying the silence. "I can't believe your mom is letting you stay over."
Buffy shrugged, "She hasn't been home much anyway. I guess Kennedy had come over almost every night."
"Speaking of Kennedy, what's up with her and Willow?"
Buffy snuggled closer, "Wills dumped her today."
"Why?"
"Tara was talking to Willow and began stuttering. Kennedy started making fun of her. Willow yelled and said that she didn't want to be with her."
"Wow." He paused, "You know, when I first saw you, I thought that you were going to be a total snob."
She smiled, "I used to be. Before I became the Slayer, well, let's just say Cordelia was like a philosopher next to me."
"That's hard to believe."
"Yeah. But when I learned about vampires and things like that, I started caring about the important things."
He kissed the top of her head, "I'm glad for the change."
Buffy sighed, "Me too." She stood up and headed over to her bag.
"What are you doin?" Spike asked.
Buffy pulled out a pair of light blue pj pants with yellow ducks, underwear, and a yellow tank top, "I'm going to go take a relaxing bath. My arm's a little sore."
"Yeah, that usually happens when you get your arm cut."
"Who's fault is that?" Buffy yelled from the bathroom.
"Geeze! Make me feel bad!" Spike yelled back.
Buffy stepped out of the bathroom and climbed into bed next to Spike, laying her head on his chest. "Enjoy your bath love?" Spike asked, putting an arm around Buffy and pulled her closer.
"Yes." She sighed, "I could get used to this."
Spike nodded, "Me too."
"We should get a little dresser. For some of my stuff."
He turned off the light, "Or you could just put them with mine. I don't have that many clothes."
Buffy giggled, "Don't I know it." She yawned, "I could do that. If you don't mind."
He brought her face up to his and kissed her fully and softly on the lips, "Of course I don't mind."
Buffy smiled and snuggled closer, "Good night."
"Good night love."
Oh man! Sorry for the lack of updates. Soooo much has gone on since October. I was missing school left and right for all these medical tests and then they put me on home schooling in November. Then in Feb. I had surgery to remove my appendix and a cyst they found on my ovary. It's a good thing they removed my appendix, it had cracked so I was slowly being poisoned. Not fun. Anyway! Hope you enjoyed the chappie. There will be more soon. I have a short chappie for Life is a Road that I need to post. Review!
