Buffy and Spike: NIGHTMARES AND DREAMS!
by Vampirelust2000
“You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A 100+ years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.” Spike said to Buffy
"Spike…" Buffy whispered deeply touched by his speech; she couldn't think of a reply. Spike stood there astounded by his own words he himself seemed frozen, glancing into Buffy's eyes. His dead heart almost began to beat again. Buffy laid down on the bed and moved over to make room for spike, "Stay with me?" She whispered. At first Spike turned around bewildered by this gesture.  Then he finally worked up enough nerve to hop into the bed. This was awkward with a half-foot gap between the two. Buffy, however, seemed to be moving closer. Buffy cuddled close to Spike. The only person she could depend on. Spike jumped at first, surprised by the gesture. Then it all seemed to fit, everything. Spike could feel Buffy's warmth and soft touch, where Spike was cold and his flesh cracked. Spike felt alive. Buffy tried to keep her eyes open as long as she could but she soon fell asleep. "Buffy?" Spike tried to awake the slayer. "Buffy." But alas the only thing to do was to watch the young girl sleep. Spike's face lit up as she snuggled even closer. And as Spike too fall asleep (even in darkness) he gave his most honest smile. Buffy dreamt of earlier that night, her friends betrayal. It still hurt like a sword through the heart to think of them. Spike a woke in the middle of the night where visions of The First tormented him. Drusilla lay before the couple
"Look at the whiney little brat, playing with his Barbie.... you are pathetic Spike... look at you … you can’t kill the slayer so you help her." said The First.
"It's not like that Dru," Spike was confused. Drusilla morphed, transported into Angelus.
"You'd like to think that, but the truth is I got there first... I made love to her long before you tried to...."
The images of Spike trying to rape Buffy plagued Spike.
"Well you all just sod off." Spike screamed out.
And The First left, not before taking the form of Glory
"Do you even realize if I didn’t kill your girlfriend, none of this would have happened; she doesn’t even love you!"
But Spike tore the images of the first away .
Buffy sat up startled. "What's going on?!" she yelled looking around for the first or Caleb.
"Buffy it was nothing, an awful dream, a nightmare" Spike said.
"Oh…" She tried not to look relieved. She laid back down and stared up at the ceiling. Obviously lost in thought. Spike began to speak, taking his arms around her waist "Did you ever think we'd wind up like this? Buffy blinked torn out of her thoughts, and stared at Spike. "I honestly don't know," she replied.
"I remember trying to kill you!  Trying to suck the marrow out of your bones, and every time you beat me. You should be lucky most guys would be emasculated!”
Buffy laughed, She smirked "Are you sure your not?"
"Are you kidding? I’m not the one who wanted "Wind Beneath My Wings" As our first song at our wedding "Spike pulled closer Buffy to himself.” Buffy smacked him playfully. "It was the spell"
"Sure and it was the spell that wanted Angel to be my best man," Spike almost got half-angered but realized that he had all he ever wanted so he calmed his rage. "I mean you couldn’t have picked Xander; I'm so much more better looking than him?" Buffy grinned, "Fine If we get married Angel will be the flower girl." Buffy snorted at the thought. Spike laughed "That'll be perfect for Nancy boy." But then Spike remembered  "Uhm we can't get married in a church... or in Sunnydale? Vampires and churches: I don't know the rules but love and Sunnydale doesn't work... In fact, In a few days I could be Dead-dead and forced to live with angle all my days"
"That’d be fun to watch." Buffy teased. "We could move to Rome or Cleveland. There's a hell mouth there." 
Buffy moved into a more exotic pose, Her body over spike, her face facing hers. But as Buffy Moved into kiss him, her face became Tara's and Spike jumped
"Oh come on, you were sleeping with her all the time, then you slept with Anya, and then you left town in search for some puzzle piece, while she was still recovering from her abuse, how could she love you?"
Buffy frowned watching spike move away from her, "What's wrong?. Spike?"
Spike jumped up and got to the floor. A girl fell to the floor. She was blonde. "I died... and you just took advantage of me!" The Girl Turned to reveal Harmony's face. Then It changed to another girl. "Do you remember me William?" her neck began to poor blood "You killed me just like you'll kill Buffy if you don't stop." Spike began to tear "I don't want to kill Buffy!" The Master appeared "We all tried to kill the slayer and failed, William. Maybe, the only secret to destroying the slayer is loving her."
Buffy stood up, "Is the first here?" She whispered. "I don't want to kill Buffy" Spike whispered to himself. Buffy stared at Spike, “he's going to kill me?“ she wondered. She grabbed her coat and put it on.
Spike went as crazy as he first had his soul! He viewed The Master transform into Glory. "Well William, I think I'm going to go love Buffy," Glory put on a black leather coat. "And destroy her!"
"No, you can't." Spike jumped forward. Attacking the owner of the black leather jacket!
Buffy screamed as Spike lunged at her. She dodged him and ran out of the house. “I have to find Caleb. He has something of mine, I just know it!” She ran down the street.
Spike moved swift down the road stalking glory. "I have to protect, Buffy I love her." He jumped in front of glory who now changed into Warren. "I shot her once. Second time she wont live." Spike punched Warren giving him a bloody nose.
Buffy fell onto her back holding her bloodied nose. She rolled away from spike and jumped up and blocked spike's fist as he swung at her again.
Cecile now was in front of Spike: "Whatever happened to me... huh? My hear effulgent?"
"Shut up....." Spike to his knees crying.
Buffy stepped back, her heart pounding in her throat she swallowed thickly. She kept her eyes on spike as she walked past him. Buffy tried to pick up Spike. However, Spike viewed his mother picking him up. "You were a terrible son, I should have killed you when I had the chance." Spike took a stake in his left hand bringing it closer to his  chest. Buffy grabbed the stake from Spike and threw it far away from them.
Spike looked at Buffy ""What are you doing?" She snapped. Dru stood adjacent to Buffy "Go ahead Spike; end your pathetic life!" Then the First started Dru's snicker. Buffy could finally see the first. Shocked she stuck her hand through Drusilla's head!
"Whoa... Tingly." Buffy mumbled.  The first grinned and turned into Buffy, bloody nose and all, "Which one of us is real, Spiky?" The first teased. Buffy glanced at Spike.  Spike looked at them... and began to glance. He walked back and forth. Finally, Spike spawned his test. He walked up to Buffy and began to kiss her with passion. The first New it lost this war so it made a final, bold, shocking move! As Buffy opened her eyes she saw something. Buffy saw her couch, and her mother lay on it!
Buffy pulled away from Spike, and stared into the first, "Mommy?" she whispered shocked. Spike said a final word "Buffy you okay?" And they awoke the next morning on the bed of the abandoned house, where they had spent the previous night.
