Buffy gently helped Spike up the stairs to the house. “You alright?” She asked, softly.
“I’m hungry. I hurt and I’m tired,” Spike whispered.
“Well, everything’s going to be okay,” Buffy whispered. “I’m going to take care of you.”
Spike looked at her with his good eye. “Buffy…”
“Don’t,” Buffy said, softly. “You need me right now and I’m gunna be here. Whatever you need, I’m gunna give you.”
“You don’t have to,” Spike said, softly.
Buffy smiled at him. “You deserve it,” she said, taking him inside.
She hushed all questions and got Dawn to help her take Spike upstairs.
In Buffy’s room, there was a cot set up and Dawn helped him sit on it.
Spike bit his lip but sat down.
“Are you okay?” Dawn asked, not sure what she should be doing.
“I’ll be fine,” Spike said, not able to look at her.
Dawn bent and kissed her forehead. “Well I’m here,” she whispered.
Spike raised his gaze to hers. “I’m hungry, he offered.
Dawn smiled and gently rested her hand on his bruised face. “I’ll bring you some blood,” she said.
Buffy paused before going toward them knowing they need this time. She waited for Dawn to come out before goin in. “Spike?”
Spike looked up and he had tears in his eyes. “Yeah?”
“What’s wrong?” Buffy asked.
“I’m hurting,” Spike said. “And you guys are giving me so much that I don’t deserve.”
“That’s not true,” Buffy said, softly as she crouched in front of him. “You’ve been tortured and tormented by something bad. You need something good so why not the two best things in your life?”
“Because I’ve hurt the two best things in my life,” Spike said.
“Don’t worry about that anymore,” Buffy said, touching his knee. “Okay? Lets get you cleaned, fed, and in bed.”
“I need a shower really bad but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stand,” Spike said, closing his eyes.
Buffy stood and grasped his hands. Gently she coaxed him to his feet and led him to the bathroom.
Spike froze in the door way as images of Buffy on the floor flashed through his mind.
Buffy could see him struggling and was at loss as to what to do.
Spike saw another Buffy in the room and knew the first was back.
“She hates you,” she whispered.
Spike closed his eyes to try to block the voice.
“She could never love something like you,” the first said, before singing. “Early one morning, just as the sun was rising.”
Spike held his head in his hands and tried to fight it.
“Spike?” Buffy asked, getting worried.
Spike looked at her with yellow eyes and growled.
Buffy backed off into a fighting stance. “Do do this,” she pleaded, although she knew that he couldn’t control it.
Somehow Spike had her pinned to the wall and he sank his fangs into her.
Buffy’s eyes filled with tears. “Spike,” she whispered.
After 2 sips of blood it was enough to knock Spike back into reality. He pulled back and realized what he had done before backing away from her.
Buffy saw the look in his eyes. “Spike,” she said, reaching for him.
Spike flinched away from her pressed himself into a corner.
Buffy crouched next to him. “Spike,” she said.
“I hurt you,” Spike whispered.
Buffy took his hand and placed it on her heart. “Do you feel that?”
Spike nodded feeling the thumping beneath his hand.
“It’s okay,” Buffy said, walking closer to him. “Will you close to the holes please?”
Spike gazed at her but she kept his hand on her heart as he tenderly licked her neck.
Buffy closed her eyes at how good it felt and gently kissed his shoulder.
Spike shuddered. “Buffy, I just bit you,” he whispered.
“You’re hungry,” Buffy said, softly her hands going to his pants. “Can you lift your leg?”
Spike shuddered again. “I can do this myself,” he said, trying to pull away from her.
“Even if you can, which I know you cant, I’m gunna help you,” Buffy said. “I want to help you.”
“Why?” Spike asked.
“Because I care about you,” Buffy whispered, cradling his cheek. “And after everything that’s happened you deserve to have me take care of you.”
