Slowly Spike made his way down the stairs into the basement. Sitting down softly just out of the reach of the soft glow from the hanging light. Resting his head in his hands Spike let out a loud sigh as thoughts were bouncing around his head. This spell was causing all sorts of trouble; the bloody Scooby gang were all tense all of them avoiding each other in fears of what would spurt from their mouths next. Now it seemed the Slayer was avoiding him as well. He would have bet the very piece of his soul that Buffy heard the entire conversation between Glinda and himself.

Spike pulled the duster tighter around his body and breathed in the mixture of Buffy and his own scent. God the chit was drivin' him round the bend. At this point, he was desperate for a fag but Buffy already laid down the law on that. But there was no way in hell he was going back upstairs at the moment. Slowly slinking down the stairs Spike looked around he saw the folded up cot in a corner

'Mite catch a few z's' he thought as he grabbed the cot as he set it up something caught his eye. An old guitar case, slowly he reached out and pulled the case to him opening it his eyes grew as he pulled the acoustic guitar to his body the case clattered to the ground. As he tested the strings, he tuned it by ear and softly strummed the instrument its soft rich sound filled the basement and Spike lost himself as he strummed cords and notes he learnt a long time ago. He was so caught up that he didn't hear the door open or the soft foot falls on the stairs, which halted before coming into his line of sight.

Still playing the soft melody Buffy filled his thoughts; senses, his soul and the words came to his mind softly in tune with the melody he opened his mouth and started to sing

'til my body is dust,
'til my soul is no more,
I will love you, love you...



Buffy's eyes went wide and she felt tears welling up in her eyes, the soft melody and lyrics were beautiful and she knew without a doubt Sipike was singing about her.

'til the sun starts to cry,
and the moon turns to rust,
I will love you, love you...

'I'll love you till the end of the world and after' Spike thought 'be that today, tomorrow, whenever'

But I need to know,
will you stay for all time
forever and a day

'I want to' Buffy thought 'you make me feel safe'

"Spike" she whispered softly the tears freely falling from her eyes in silent rivers


Then I'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day...

As Spike let this fingers run over the strings, he knew the love he once felt for Dru his dark princess was nothing compared to what he felt for Buffy. A soft sigh escaped his lips but she would never be his she made that clear tonight. Sure she wanted him but he knew as long as her Scooby's were as judgmental as they were there was no chance.


And I need to know,
will you stay for all time
forever and a day?
Then I'll give my heart
'til the end of all time
forever and a day

'He wouldn't leave me' Buffy thought 'but is so wrong'

'til the storms fill my eyes,
and we touch the last time,
I will love you, love you
I will love you, love you
I will love you, love you...

As the last notes being played Buffy quietly slipped back up the stairs, as her chest tightened with the need to burst out into loud sobs but she 

didn't miss the soft breathy 'Buffy' that fell from Spike's lips. She froze for a moment she thought Spike knew she was there she he made no other sound she realised he was thinking about her and with that thought warming her tired body she softly closed the basement door and bolted upstairs only when in the safety of her room did she allow herself to really and truly cry...
