“If you ever touch her again, I’ll kill you,” Angel said, as he landed a good kick to Spike’s groin.
Spike groaned in pain but didn’t back down. “Killing me wont do anything. Just because we love the same woman, doesn’t me she belongs to us. You refuse to see that. She’s doesn’t me, and she doesn’t need you watching her either. She’s not 16 anymore,” Spike growled.
Angel started swinging at Spike again, but Spike did a good job of fending him off. Then out of nowhere, Faith and Buffy landed in between the two vampires.
“Enough,” Buffy said, glaring at Angel.
“Angel, you need to calm down,” Faith said, looking at the brooding vampire.
Spike growled and slunk off since everyone was paying attention to Angel.
Faith sighed as she noticed Spike leaving. “B, he’s gone,” she mumbled.
“Huh?” Buffy asked, turning around. “Damn.”
“I’ll go after him,” Faith said, going in the direction Spike disappeared.
She found him on the back porch smoking and went over to him. “Spike.”
“Not now,” Spike said.
“I’m not leaving. Come on. We’ll talk,” she said, pulling him down to the basement.
They talked for hours until Faith fell asleep on Spike’s cot. Spike, being a gentlemen, fell asleep in a near by chair.
Buffy came home some time later, and wanted to talk to Spike, but when she saw Faith asleep in his bed, there was no holding back the tears, that she’d been holding all night.
In the morning, Faith woke and went upstairs, making sure she didn’t wake the sleeping vampire. As she came upstairs, she ran into Buffy in the kitchen.
Buffy didn’t say a word, just delivered a right hook to Faith’s jaw.
“B, what the hell,” Faith growled, rubbing her swelling jaw.
“What else did you and Spike do last night?” Buffy flared. “No wonder you wanted to go after him.”
“We just talked,” Faith said, crossing her arms.
“It’s never just talking with you,” Buffy said.
“B, calm down,” Faith said.
Buffy sniffled but flung herself at Faith and reigned punches around her face. All the commotion brought everyone to the kitchen.
Spike, came up and became concerned for both slayers. He came up behind Buffy and picked her up, before hauling her upstairs to her room.
Angel helped Faith to her feet. “You alright?”
Faith looked uncertainly toward the stairs but went into the living room to sit on the couch. “We better give them a couple of hours alone,” she said, generally to everyone in the room.
Upstairs, Buffy wasn’t doing so good.
“Buffy, you have to stop and talk to me,” Spike said, straddling her to the bed. He had her hands pinned next to her head, and his fingers were entwined with hers.
Buffy tried to push him off her but he wasn’t moving. “Get off me,” she whimpered. “I don’t think Faith would approve of you being up here.”
Spike leaned down and kissed her softly.
Buffy tugged her hands free and brought them to his shoulders.
Spike stroked her ribs with his hands, and tried to calm her down. He got off of her and laid next to her, pulling away so she could breathe. She curled up against his side, and he pulled her close to him. “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?” Spike asked, softly.
Buffy took a shaky breath. “Do… Do you still love me?” She whispered.
Spike pulled her closer to him, and moved a leg over her hip to help her feel safe. “Always, Buffy. I promised myself I would never hurt you again, and I’m trying not to.”
“So…you didn’t…sleep…with Faith?” Buffy asked.
“No, she just talked with me is all,” Spike said, kissing her forehead.
Buffy relaxed a great deal and hugged him tightly. “Don’t leave me,” she whispered, before falling into a deep sleep.
