Spike came upstairs from the basement and found Faith in the kitchen. “Hey Faith,” he said, smiling.
“Hi, Spike,” Faith said.
“Where’s Buffy?” Spike asked.
“I don’t know but I wish she’d hurry up. I wanna go kill something,” Faith said.
Spike laughed. “Come on. She’ll catch up with us,” he said, going to the front door.
“Thank God,” Faith said, as they left.
Buffy came through the door ½ hour later and Dawn came out of the kitchen. “Hey,” Dawn said. “You okay?”
“Yeah. Spike going on patrol?” Buffy asked.
“He already left with Faith. They were getting antsy,” Dawn said.
“Oh,” Buffy said, softly. “I’ll go see if I can find them.”
Spike and Faith were fighting a group of vamps. A few them had Spike pinned to the ground. Faith staked the last few vamps and the one on top of Spike. As the vampire exploded, Faith fell on top of him.
She pushed herself upon his hips. “You okay?” She asked.
“Peachy,” Spike said. “You feel better now that you’ve had something to kill.”
Faith smiled. “Yeah. Do we have to go home cuz honestly that house is too much for me,” she said.
“No. I’m not ready to go either. Too many teenage girls,” he said, relaxed beneath her.
Faith looked at his lips and leaned down.
Buffy walked through the cemetery and stopped short when she saw Faith lean down and kiss Spike. Tears came to her eyes as he kissed her back. “Spike,” she whispered, very softly so he wouldn’t hear her. She turned and ran home and tears cascaded down her face.
Faith pulled away after a minute. “Whoa,” she whispered.
Spike smiled. “You wanna finish patrolling?”
Faith smiled and they both got off the ground as Spike pulled a twig out of her hair. Faith blushed and looked at him. “You’re sweet,” she said.
“Most people wouldn’t think so,” Spike said, as they continued to walk through the cemetery.
“Like Buffy?” Faith asked.
“Well, Buffy and I are just friends so it doesn’t really matter if she thinks I’m sweet,” Spike said.
Faith slid her hand into his but was surprised when he entwined their fingers. “I’m kind new at the whole relationship thing, Spike.”
“Don’t worry,” he said. “We can go slow. Cuz with everything that’s going on right now, we should take it easy.”
At the house, Buffy was on the back porch sobbing. Someone opened the door and someone came out. “Buffy?” Came Giles’ voice.
“Giles, not now,” Buffy said, softly. “I need to be alone.”
Giles sat next to her. “I’m sorry,” he said.
“I need to have Spike on our team Giles. He’s one of our strongest warriors,” Buffy said.
“Have you been crying?” Giles asked.
“I’m okay,” Buffy said. “Just of course someone ruining my life as usual.
“You wanna go in?” Giles asked. “You should get some sleep.”
“Yeah,” Buffy said, following her watcher inside. “I don’t think I’ll be getting any sleep though.”
