Babysitting: Chapter One
by spikelover6661
Note: FOR A DANCER AND MYSELF ONLY!!!

Dawn rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and then, purely by chance, made it safely into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth without toothpaste and practically killed herself falling down the stairs. And someone was raiding her refridgerator. She reconginized the black duster and the broad shoulders. "Spike?"

The figure turned around, cold pizza stuffed in its mouth. Dawn relaxed, staring into the face of her best friend. He took a bite and then gave Dawn his framilar, comforting smile.

"Morning, niblet. Hungry?"

Dawn shook her head. "What are you doing here... so early?"

"Scoobies had some keep Dawn away mission. Stuck me here. Not that I mind. Its much better with you than with them."

"Come on, Spike. I know you just want to get a good look at Buffy's pantie drawer."

"Hey!"

"Relax," Dawn gave a big yawn. "I was only joking."

As Spike passed her, arms full of food, he gave her a slap on the head. He then threw his food down on the coffe table and kicked his feet up next to it. Dawn plopped down on the couch next to him. She layed her head on his shoulder, yawning again.

"Better get some more sleep, niblet."

"Okay." Dawn buried her face in the soft leather of Spike's duster. He felt so... strangely comfy and warm. Spike wrapped an arm around her.

"'Night, Dawn."

""Night, Spike."

Spike slid down, putting his head against Dawn's. Dawn grunted and laye ddown on teh couch. Spike layed his head down next to hers, half of his body hanging completely off the couch. The pair of them fell asleep within a few minutes.
