Note: Sorry for not spacing before, now I do so enjoy! Also please please please give me feedback, I don’t care if you hate it, I just need to know what I’m doing wrong.
After what Buffy had done for him Spike followed Buffy into the cemetery.

“Did you mean it?” Spike asked finally as Buffy paced around the graves, like a tiger just waiting for it’s pray.
“Mean what?” Buffy questioned in reply, her face softening.

“Bout leaving your friends if they didn’t accept me,” Spike slowly answered, afraid to lose her.
A thoughtful look crossed Buffy’s sun kissed face, as she took a deep breath she looked into his once icy now warm blue eyes and replied, “Yes.”

Spike was so happy no one could truly say he couldn’t love; for once someone loved him for the man, not the demon. He had never felt like this before, with Drusilla it was all one way, she loved his darkness Buffy loved his light. For once Spike had nothing to say, no smirk, no come back, so he just kissed her.

Buffy loved him, but she had been hurt so many times what if this ended up just the same?
No matter how much her slayer instincts were telling her, “He’s evil! You’re supposed to be killing him not kissing him!”
But her Buffy instincts argued, “He loves you even without a soul! He’s the only person who hadn’t hurt her emotionally.

The slayer was apart of her, but the Buffy part was more important; “I love you.”

A look of shock mixed with happiness, with a dash of wholeness.

No words were needed to express there feelings, so then the couple walked to Spike’s crypt, problems forgotten because of a simple yet complex thing…love.
