Believe Me: 1

Buffy walked through the door and leaned against it. “Dawn?”

Spike came out of the kitchen. “She’s sleeping,” he said, going over to her.

Buffy smiled. “That’s good,” she said. “Um… do you want to spend the night?”

“Buffy, you asked me that almost every night. Don’t you think we’re moving too fast?” Spike asked.

Buffy walked closer to him and took his hands in hers. “Spike, I know you feel really guilty about what happened but if you don’t work past it, I cant work past it. Every time I look at you, I see it in your eyes. I know I drove you to do that to me because of every horrible thing I’ve done to you,” she whispered unshed tears in her eyes.

Spike’s eyes softened. “Pet,” he whispered, pulling her into his arms.

Buffy whimpered helplessly against his chest. “I missed you so much Spike. I thought you left me like the others. I saw you again and I knew there was a chance for us,” she said, lifting her head. “We cant move on if you don’t let go of the past. Please? We’re just going to sleep.”

“Are you sure Buffy? Cuz we cant end up doing what we did last year. I cant have you walk out on me again,” Spike whispered.

Buffy’s tears slid down her face. “Spike I feel horrible about everything I did but I don’t know how to make it better. I’m really trying to make things right but can you please stop making me feel like a bad person?” She whimpered.

Spike’s gently thumbs wiped away her tears. “I’m sorry Buffy. But are you gunna walk out on me again?” He asked.

Buffy shook her head. “I already told everyone that I wanted to be with you,” she said. “So please? Come up to bed with me?”

After a moment Spike nodded and let her lead him up to her room.

Buffy let go of his hand and smiled at him. “Just relax and get ready for bed. I’m gunna go change but I’ll be right back,” she said, kissing him softly.

Spike took off his boots as he left and set them to the side. He took off his shirt and belt before climbing into her bed. He slid to the side he knew she didn’t sleep on and relaxed a little bit.

Buffy came back in and smiled before climbing in next to him. “Spike, we’re just going to sleep. Hopefully, you’ll still be here in the morning,” she said, laying down with her back to him.

When he didn’t understand she scooted closer to him.

Finally his arm came around her waist. “Goodnight, Pet,” he whispered, nuzzling her neck.

“Goodnight, Spike,” she whispered, falling asleep.

The next morning, Buffy found a note on her pillow.

Buffy, I’m downstairs with Dawn. Sleep late but don’t worry. I wont leave.

Spike

Buffy smiled and fell asleep with the note in her hand.

Spike came up a little while later and peeked in on her. He smiled as he slipped in and sat next to her. He reached out to stroke her hair, accidentally waking he up.

Buffy murmured sleepily and Spike kissed her temple softly. “I love you,” he whispered.

“I know,” Buffy said, softly. “I always have.”
