Spike carried Buffy through the door of the Summers house and up to her room. He gently laid her in her bed and brought the covers up to her chin.
“Spike?” Buffy whispered.
“It’s okay,” Spike said, kissing her forehead. “I’ll take care of it. Just get some sleep,” he said, going to the door.
“Spike?” Buffy asked, sitting up.
“Hm?” Spike asked, looking at her.
“Can you come back after…?” She whispered.
“Yeah, I’ll come back,” Spike said, leaving.
Buffy snuggled back down in her bed and closed her eyes. “Thank you, Spike.”
A few hours later, Spike came back and silently made his way upstairs.
Buffy was hugging her pillow and whimpering softly.
Spike stripped to his pants and slid in behind her. He spooned against her back and nuzzled her neck. “It’s alright Luv. I took care of it,” he said, kissing her hair.
Buffy’s eyes fluttered open and she turned toward him. “But I killed her,” she whimpered.
“No,” Spike said, bringing a hand up to her cheek. “You didn’t.”
“I did, Spike. I killed some one,” she said, tears in her eyes.
“No. You didn’t. Those demons made you hallucinate. She’s been dead for days,” he said. “We’ll talk about it in the morning.”
“I didn’t kill her?” Buffy asked, her eyes meeting his.
“No, you didn’t. I told you I would take care of it and I did,” he said, kissing her softly.
Buffy snuggled up against him. “Stay with me,” she whispered.
Spike’s arms enclosed over her and he laid on his back. “I’ll leave before sunrise,” he said.
Buffy laid her head on his chest and shuddered. “You don’t have to,” she mumbled.
Spike kissed her hair softly. “Go to sleep Buffy,” he said. “I love you.”
Buffy picked her head up. “I love you too,” she said, then ducked her gaze. “I just though you might wanna know. I understand if you don’t want me anymore.”
Spike pushed him self up and pulled Buffy up to his level. “Why wouldn’t I want you?”
Buffy bit her lip and avoided his gaze. “Because you got what you wanted and there’s no reason for you to stay with me,” she whispered.
Spike lifted her chin and kissed her softly. “Buffy, I love you and I’m not gunna hurt you by leaving. I’ll stay as long as you want me to.”
Buffy settled herself in his arms. “What if its forever?”
“Then its forever. I’ve got eternity,” he said, holding her close.
Buffy sighed. “Good. Tomorrow we can tell the gang and you can move in if you want,” she said, sleepily.
Spike looked down at her and kissed her hair. “Goodnight Pet.”
“Goodnight, Spike,” Buffy mumbled and they fell asleep.
In the morning, when Buffy woke, Spike wasn’t there. She climbed out of bed and went downstairs.
Spike was in the kitchen, making breakfast for Dawn.
“Morning Guys,” Buffy said.
Spike smiled at her. “Morning, Luv. You okay?”
Buffy shrugged. “Confused but okay,” she said, leaning against him.
Spike kissed the top of her head and wrapped an arm around her. “Do you know Katrina?”
“Yeah. She’s Warren’s ex,” Buffy said, softly. “Why?”
“That’s the girl form last night,” Spike said.
Buffy picked her head up. “She is?”
Spike nodded. “Maybe he knows what happened to her.”
“He knows,” Buffy growled. “he set me up. Tried to blame me for the murder when he did it.”
“So what are you gunna do?” Dawn asked.
“It depends on what Spike did last night,” Buffy said.
“I called the police and reported a body. I told him that I’d try to find out who did it,” Spike said.
“You really did take care of it,” Buffy said, in awe.
“You thought I wouldn’t?” Spike asked.
“I wasn’t really thinking too clearly last night, Spike. The only thing I remember and meant was what I told you,” Buffy said.
“Which was?” Dawn asked.
“That I loved him,” Buffy said, looking at her sister.
A smiled broke out on the teens face. “Really? This is so cool!” She squealed, hugging the both of them. “Can he move in?”
“We were planning on it,” Buffy said.
“I have school, so I’ll see you guys later,” Dawn said, leaving with a smile.
Spike smiled and kissed Buffy’s hair.
Buffy lifted her head and kissed him softly. “Love you,” she whispered.
“Love you too,” Spike said. “What do you wanna do about Warren?”
“Deal with him later,” Buffy said. “You wanna take me upstairs and make love you me?”
Spike smiled and did as he was told.
