Have no Fear With Me: 1
by Spikes Queen
Spike stalked through the cemetery, happy to be out of Buffy’s bed. Not that he wasn’t enjoying himself, he was just tired of being in bed. He felt Buffy’s presence behind him and couldn’t help but smile. “You know, Pet, if you wanted to come all you had to do was ask,” he said.

Buffy came up next to him and smiled. “I thought you wanted to be by yourself and I’ve been trying to give you some space,” she said. “I’ve been sorta crowding you and I figured I’d give you some time to yourself.”

“I don’t mind,” Spike said, softly. “I needed to get out of the house.”

Buffy gently grabbed his wrist. “I know I’ve been a little tense lately but it’s because I was worried about you,” she said, softly. “I wanted you to get better.”

“And I am,” Spike said, pushing the hair out of her face.

Buffy smiled and slid her fingers in his hand.

Spike’s eyes met hers and he saw the tenderness in her gaze. He closed her fingers around hers slowly.

Buffy smiled and they began walking again.

Spike wasn’t worried about killing anything anymore. With Buffy snuggled up against him, he was happy with just walking with her.

When they went home, Buffy sat on the back porch and Spike sat on the step above her with his hands on her shoulders.

Buffy smiled and leaned into him. “This feels nice,” she said.

Spike wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her hair. “Yeah it is,” he whispered.

“Are you feeling okay?” She asked, laying her head on his thigh.

“Yeah,” Spike said, kissing her hair. “I gotta get some sleep though. So do you.”

Buffy turned and looked at him. “Then lets go to bed,” she said, getting up.”

Spike allowed Buffy to lead him upstairs to her room. “Um.. Pet,” he said, nervously. “I’m not too sure this is a good idea.”

Buffy squeezed his hand and led him to the bed. “Lets talk first,” she said.

Spike sat next to her and sighed. “Buffy, I’m just not sure we should do this.”

Buffy shifted and faced him. “Are you afraid of me?” She asked, softly.

“I’m afraid of what I might do to you,” Spike whispered, not able to look at her.

Buffy took Spike’s face and gently made him look at her. “You think you’re gunna hurt me again?” She whispered.

Spike looked into her eyes. “Yes,” he said, regretfully.

Buffy frowned. “Well, I’m not,” she whispered. “I believe in you and I trust you.”

“Even after everything I did to you?” Spike asked.

Buffy smiled. “Yes, especially after everything you did,” she said.

Spike looked at her lips and they moved toward each other slowly.

Their lips hesitantly touch and Spike turned toward her.

Buffy shifted so she could wrap her arms around his neck and she opened her mouth under his.

Spike pulled away a little reluctantly.

Buffy opened her eyes. “Why’d you stop?” She asked.

“ I don’t want thing to get messed up,” he said.

“Will you stay with me?” Buffy asked, shyly. “We’re just gunna sleep.”

Spike looked at her for a long time before nodding. “Yeah,” he said, softly. “I’ll stay.”

Buffy smiled. “I’ll be right back,” she said. “And you should relax.”

Spike smiled as she left and went to the window. A few mintues later, Buffy emerged form the bathroom and went over to him. “ We should get some sleep,” she whispered.

After a few hesitations, Buffy coaxed Spike into her bed and they settled into each other’s arms.

Spike’s muscles relaxed as he drifted into sleep.

Buffy smiled at her vampire before falling asleep herself.
