Prompt #368 from Tamingthemuse- Light

Note: From now on most of my Tamingthemuse stories will be named as the challenge.

Xander got ready for the movie. He wore a turtle neck to cover up his collar. He was starting to think it was almost time to have Spike take it off. That part of his life was over and he needed to move forward. With Spike.

Spike sent Thomas and Randy out to feed while he waited for Xander to get ready. He'd never say this but he was nervous. This was his first date, well ever. It kind of helped that Xander had never been on a date which made him feel guilty. His head whipped around when he heard the stairs squeak. He smiled when he saw Xander nervously walk down the stairs. "Ello, pet."

"Hi," Xander said with a little wave. He looked absolutely adorable to Spike. He got to the bottom of the stairs and stopped. "Are you sure you want to go to the movies?"

Confused Spike said, "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know. It just doesn't seem like a very… vampire-y thing to do," Xander explained.

Spike helped Xander put his coat on. It was a chilly night. "Luv, you forget I'm the big bad. Any demon that has a problem with what I do I'll just rip its innards out."

That probably should have grossed Xander out but all he could think was as long as Spike was all right he didn't care what the vampire did. "Okay."

It still surprised Spike when Xander didn't mind him talking about killing. Demons or humans. "Let's get a move on, yeah? I hate missing the previews!"

It only took them five minutes to get from the house to the cinema with the way Spike drove and another ten to get their tickets and snacks. Pacific Rim seemed like a popular movie and Xander was wondering if this was such a good idea.

Spike took hold of Xander's unoccupied hand and led him to two vacant chairs. He grabbed the large popcorn from Xander letting him sit without spilling any. He then passed the buttery popcorn and their large drink to Xander and made himself as comfortable as possible. The lights dimmed and every quieted down.

Everything was going well; Xander was so absorbed in the movie that he forgot about the room full of people. That was until a man in his mid-twenties started to kick the back of Xander's chair. Poor Xander almost threw himself onto the sticky floor. Spike's head whipped around. "Knock it off!"

The man looked at Spike and scoffed before kicking the chair again. "Go back to the movie, fag."

Xander flinched at the venom that came from the man behind him. Why was he being so cruel?

"One last time. Either stop kicking his seat or we take this outside," Spike growled.

The man didn't seem to notice the growl because he stood up and waited for Spike to follow. Before Spike did he leaned over to a shaking Xander. "It's fine, pet. You just watch the movie and I'll be back in a tick.

Xander nodded and watched as both men left. No one seemed to notice, they were all engrossed in the movie.

Not even ten minutes went by and Spike was back in his seat stuffing a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

Xander swiped his thumb over Spike's lips smearing the blood from his face. He then wiped his hand onto his dark jeans and went back to the movie. There was nothing to discuss. Spike killed the man and Xander felt nothing for him. He was just glad his Spike was all right.
