Let Go and Move on: 1
by Spikes Queen
“So… Yeah. I’m terrified,” Spike said.

Buffy put the scythe on the counter behind Spike and looked into his eyes. “You don’t have to be.”

“Why? We keep doing this an you keep pushing me away,” Spike said, his voice catching.

Buffy pit her lip but put her hands on his hips. “I didn’t mean to, but if I don’t let anybody get close, then I wont get hurt,” she said, as tears came to her eyes.

Spike frowned as she looked down. “You mane, if you get close, I’d leave you?” He asked, lifting her gaze back up to his.

Buffy nodded and didn’t even try to hold her tears back.

Spike pulled Buffy into his arms and rocked her back and forth as she cried. He maneuvered them to the back porch so she wouldn’t have to worry about waking the girls.

When her tears stopped she slipped her arms around his waist and took a deep breath before talking.

“Spike, we have something that means the world to me. You’re more then friend.” She paused not knowing if it was safe to go on. “You’ve loved me more then anyone ever has. Angel and Riley both left and I still don’t know why.” She looked up at him. “And I don’t know why you stayed.”

“I love you,” Spike said. “And to me, that means being here through thick and thin and not running at the first problem. I’ll always come back to you, whether you want me to or not.”

Buffy smiled. “I need to find out what the scythe is for. You still gunna go to the vineyard?” Buffy asked.

“I can if you want me to,” Spike said.

“I’ll meet you back here and we can pick up where we left off last night,” she said, kissing him quickly on the lips before disappearing in the house.

Spike gaped at her as she grabbed the scythe and went to the front door. A goofy grin appeared on his face as he left for the vineyard.
