“Hello Spike,” buffy said looking at him and motioned for him to sit next to her. She looked so fragile to him and so tiny he wanted to curl up with her and protect her from everything. The questions he knew they had to ask, possibly a court trial, the pain she was in physically from her battered body. He sat down and took her hand.
“How are you holding up?” he asked in a voice that was so choked with emotion that he could barely whisper. He felt like anything he said or did would never matter to her. But suprisingly enough she squeezed his hand. “Well the doctor said I was going to live. You do know that all because of you, right. You are the one who saved my life and I owe you big time.” She smiled weakly and squeezed his hand again. Her grip wasn’t very tight but it wouldn’t have mattered if it was. Spike was stuck in the most perfect moment of his life and couldn’t let it go.
“I am just glad you are safe here. Is it alright with you if I spend the night here? I want to keep an eye over you.” He said.
“Yes. I think that I would enjoy that very much. Thank you Spike, for everything.?”
“I am going to get Red in here now, okay? But I will be back as soon as everyone has had their turn to fawn over you alright?” he said as he was walking to the door. Part of him just wanted to keep her all to himself to keep her safe but he knew her friends needed to see her just as much as he did.
“You promise to come back right? You won’t leave me here all alone will you? Because I don’t think I could handle that right now. Spike, I need you here with me.” She said it and she meant it. She saw that he really cared for her and loved him for it. For some reason unknown to her she never wanted him to leave her side and it made her sad to see him walking away from her though she knew he would be back.
He knew she was serious and went to her side. “I will be back the second they leave I swear to you.” He gave her a kiss on the forehead. It felt right and Buffy didn’t seem to mind it either.
It took everything he had in him to keep from skipping down the hallway and singing at the top of his lungs but he made it all the way to the waiting room without anything un-cool happening. He walked right up to Willow and gave her a hug. She was startled but excited. If Spike was this happy after seeing Buffy things must be on the up and up. She however had just finish a highly tense investigation/conversation with the police and was left anxious and jumpy because she still didn’t know everything that had happened and couldn’t answer some of the questions she was asked.
“She want’s to see you now.” Spike said in her ear after releasing her from the bear hug. “She seems like she is going to make it out of this okay.” He whispered, obviously beaming. Inside he felt like he was going to over flow with happiness.
“Alright.” Said willow. Suddenly afraid she asked, “how bad does she look?”
Spike sighed and also felt depressed as if all the happiness rushed out of him leaving him hollow. “She looks beautiful to me. She will always look beautiful to me.” He replied, then sat down. And looked at Willow. She was staring at him, finally realizing he would never hurt her or leave her. Willow was glad for that but felt she couldn’t move. Where had this Spike been hidden and how did he do such a great job at keeping his secret love for buffy quiet?
“Get your arse moving Red. She’s not going to be happy if you make her wait too long. I want to be there when she goes back to sleep so she knows she’s not alone.”
Still amazed at the new Spike with his new feelings she rush away toward buffy’s hospital room. Willow poked her head in and looked at the figure lying there. The figure shifted and looked at the doorway. “Get in here.” Buffy said. “You are my best friend you can come in. besides it’s kind of weird you hanging out in the doorway.”
Willow smiled and walked into the room sitting down in the same chair Spike had occupied just minutes before. Buffy looked extremely happy for someone who was in such a condition as she.
“I think I love him Will. What am I supposed to do? What if he doesn’t love me back?” she asked her friend both trying to keep off the topic about what had happened that day and truly wondering what she was supposed to do.
“I don’t think that would ever happen. He does love you, he was doing a love-glowy thing just for you. You know he blames himself for not figuring it out sooner. He feels like it was his fault that you almost died.”
“Oh god, what else did he tell you?” Buffy was immediately concerned about Spike. He should not feel responsible for anything it was her fault for not telling everyone what was going on. Willow was watching her panic to herself and said. “he didn’t tell me but I can see it. He cares for you so much I am amazed you two haven’t been dating for years.
“Will, I kind of asked Spike if he would…”
“Spend the night?” her friend interjected. “He was going to anyways I decided before we were allowed to see you. Giles is getting clothes from his house.”
“Well, I didn’t want you to feel bad because you are my best friend and nothing will come between us but I feel like I own it to him.”
“I understand.” Was all willow said. She walked over and kissed buffy on the head then left to get Xander.
Xander and Giles both came in wishing her happiness and a quick recovery then left.
