Underneath the stairs at the bronze, Buffy was locked in Spike’s arms. Spike was caressing her tongue with his own and Buffy was welcoming it. She pulled away to breathe and Spike looked down at her wonder. She smiled up at him and leaned back into kiss him more.
Finally, Spike suggested that she go home and get some sleep.
“I don’t really sleep anymore. I don’t feel like I belong there, that’s why I go to your place a lot,” Buffy said, as they walked down the road, hand-in-hand.
“It’s nice having company, especially yours,” Spike said, squeezing her hand.
Buffy smiled and squeezed it back. “You can stay with me tonight,” she said.
In the shadows across the street, a pair of angry eyes watched the two blondes.
When they reached the house, Riley was on the back porch. “Buffy,” he said.
“Riley,” Buffy said, in surprise. She looked up at Spike.. “Five minutes. Kay?”
Spike nodded and gave her hand a quick squeeze before going in.
“Riley what are you doing here?’ Buffy asked.
“I came back, but obviously I missed a whole lot more than I expected,” Riley said, coming towards her.
“I moved on. I found someone who wont leave like you and Angel did,” Buffy said, backing away when he got too close.
Riley grabbed her arms and flipped her over him. She landed on her back and Riley got on her and started kissing her. Buffy squirmed away from his lips, but couldn’t get out of his grasp. “SPIKE!” She yelled.
Spike ran out the back door and tackled Riley to the ground, causing his chip to go off.
Buffy flipped to her feet and she went over to Spike who as holding his head. “You okay, Spike?” She asked.
“Just a headache, Luv,” Spike said, looking at Riley.
“We’ll see how fast you wont be his ‘luv’ anymore,” Riley said, pulling out a crossbow.
Buffy stood in front of Spike. “Put that down, before I hurt you,” she said.
“Try me,” Riley challenged.
Buffy dove and Riley backhanded her across the lawn. She broke the fence and a deep gash appeared on her leg. She screamed in agony.
Riley aimed the crossbow at his target, then Tara appeared in the doorway, coming to see what the nose was about when Buffy screamed. She gasped. “Acinte,” she said, and Riley went flying.
Spike immediately went to Buffy. “Pet?” He looked into her pain filled eyes. He scooped her up in his arms. “We’ve gotta get her upstairs,” he said, taking her in.
“What about Riley?” Tara asked.
“I don’t know but we have to do something,” Spike said, with Buffy latched around his neck with blood coming out of her leg.
“Call Angel,” Buffy said, weakly.
“Why?” Tara asked, seeing Spike flinch.
“He can take care of Riley so Spike can stay with me,” she said, burying her face in Spike’s neck.
Spike laid Buffy in bed, while Tara went and got a first aid kit. Tara tended to Buffy’s wounds while Spike made the difficult phone call to Angel.
2 hours later, Angel was at the Summer’s house. Upstairs, Buffy and Spike were sleeping, while Tara was keeping watch.
“Angel? I’m Tara,” she said, shyly.
“What happened?” Angel asked, seeing Buffy shake in Spike’s arms.
“Riley attacked her and Spike. He hurt Buffy and he’s still in the back yard,” she said.
“I’ll kill him,” Angel growled, stalking out of Buffy’s bedroom.
Angel sensed Riley when he stepped into the yard. In the shadows, Riley aimed the cross bow at Angel and fired. Angel snatched the arrow out of the air before it could hit him.
“So it’s you turn,” Riley said, coming out of the bushes.
“If you wanna keep your head attached to your body, I suggest you leave Sunnydale and never come back,” Angel growled, approaching Riley.
“I’m not leaving. You don’t scare me,” Riley said.
“We’ll see about that,” Angel said, vamping out.
Later, Angel came in and went upstairs, where Buffy and Spike were both awake.
“Angel,” Buffy said, smiling. Spike started to move away from her, but Buffy yanked him back towards her.
“Did you take care of the boy?” Spike asked.
“Yeah he’s not coming back,” Angel said, trying not to let his jealousy get out of control. “How’s your leg?”
“I’ll live. It’s just a scrap. Are you sure he wont come back?” She asked, unconsciously leaning into Spike’s side.
“Yeah. I gotta get back to L.A,” Angel said, kissing Buffy’s forehead and ruffling Spike’s hair before leaving. “Nice to meet you Tara,” he said, when he ran into her downstairs.
“You too,” Tara said, going upstairs. “Buffy?” She called, knocking.
“Yeah?” Buffy called.
Tara opened to door. “You guys okay form the spell?” Tara asked.
“I got myself into a tangle but I’m fine. What caused it?” Buffy asked.
“Willow did it,” Tara said, softly. “She wanted me to forget I was mad at her, and she wanted you to forget you were in heaven.”
“Excuse me?” Spike growled.
“Spike,” Buffy said, with a warning. “Are you sure?”
Tara nodded as tears flowed down her cheeks. “ I though you should know that I’m moving out. I’m going back to my apartment.”
Buffy limped to Tara’s side and gave her a hug. Spike got up and wrapped his arms around both of them. “’m sorry Glinda.”
“Its okay,” she said, pulling away. “Dawn’s sleeping and she’s upset. I think Willow’s in the bathroom and she needs help.”
“I DON’T NEED HELP!” Willow yelled, coming out.
“Willow, you’re using too much magic,” Buffy said.
“How would you know? You haven’t been around enough to realize it,” Willow spat.
“Get out,” Buffy said. “Move out, now.”
Willow stomped out of the room and went to pack her things.
“Tara, please stay,” Buffy said, tears in pooling her eyes.
Tara nodded and went to bring her stuff in off the porch.
It wasn’t long before Willow was out and Tara was back in the room.
In Buffy’s room, Spike was holding Buffy and she fought to keep her tears from falling.
“Buffy, you can’t keep doing this to yourself,” Spike said, tilting her face up to his.
Buffy clung to him and let her tears flow. Her body convulsed and Spike held her for a long while. Buffy cried herself to sleep but wouldn’t release the choke hold on him.
In the morning, Dawn woke and went downstairs. Buffy was making eggs and Spike was massaging her shoulders. “Um… I don’t think the spell wore off on you guys,” she said.
“Hi Dawnie. No, it wore of,” Buffy said, leaning in to Spike.
“Then… what’s with the snuggling?” Dawn asked, sitting at the counter.
“Just being us. Eggs?” She asked.
“Sure. So do you know that Tara moved out?” Dawn asked.
Spike went over and sat next to her. “No she didn’t, Nibblet,” he said.
“I made Willow move out because of the spell and Tara stayed,” Buffy aid.
“Did Spike move in too?” Dawn asked
“No, I just spent the night,” Spike said. “You have school.”
“Xander’s on his way.” Then the horn honked. “See? Bye guys.” Dawn said, leaving.
“You know, she’s growing up really fast,” Spike said.
“She’s still my baby sister,” Buffy said, putting her arms around Spike’s neck. “Wanna take a shower?” She asked.
Spike looked up at skeptically. “Huh?”
Buffy smiled and pulled him upstairs.
About 2 hours later, Buffy was sitting on her bed, and Spike was coming her wet hair and she was making soft sighs of pleasure.
“How’s your leg?” Spike asked.
“Fine,” Buffy said, absently.
“Buffy,” Tara said, opening the door. “I’m going to class. Do you need anything?”
“No, thank you. Have fun,” Buffy said.
“Bye,” Tara said, leaving.
“We have the whole house to ourselves. Whaddaya wanna do?” Buffy asked, titling her head back.
Spike smiled and kissed her. “I’m sure we’ll find something.
After their little love session, Buffy went to sleep. Spike heard Dawn come in the door, and went downstairs. “Hey, Nibblet,” he said.
“Hi Spike,” Dawn said, looking up at him. “Where’s Buffy?”
“Sleeping,” Spike said.
“Uh huh,” Dawn said, knowingly as Buffy came downstairs. “Hey, Buffy.”
“Hi Dawn,” Buffy said. “How was school?”
“Boring. With lots of homework,” she mumbled.
“I suggest you go do it,” Spike said.
Buffy went over and kissed Spike as Dawn left. “You’re gunna move in tonight. And don’t argue,” she said, smiling.
“If it makes you happy,” Spike said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Buffy smiled and kissed him deeply.
