RATING: PG-13
DISCLAIMER: Joss owns all
SUMMERY: Spike and Willow become friends
ARCHIVE: Non, yet.
FEEDBACK: Duh! Yes!
NOTES: Post Graduation Day only. No Wesley. Also a few
minor changes but nothing too drastic.
MORE NOTES: This is the first W/S  story I have ever
written and I’m feeling proud. I know that some people
are well into season 4 but living in Australia,
prevents me from watching it - so I have chosen to
ignore it all and start from the end of season 3.

-------------------------------------------------------
Part 1
She was feeling better.
The past few weeks had been hard. Between Angel
leaving, the ascension thingy & graduation she was
positive that she would not have survived, if it
wasn’t for him, The lean yet masculine vampire
standing at her side.
He had been helping the ‘Scooby Gang’ thought the
whole ordeal. But had only made his presence known to
her, quite by accident.
She found out that he was back in Sunnydale one night
while she was walking home from her since 5 minutes
ago ex-boy friends house, despite a rough break up
they decided that they should still be friends.
Even without Buffy’s keen senses she knew that some
one was following her, & that that someone was very
much on the hungry side.
* Good one Wills! ‘Want me to walk you home Willow?’
‘No thanks I think I’ll manage’ *
She recalled her previous conversation with Oz.
She thought - no she was sure that she could her the
man walking faster to catch up with her. So she slowly
speed up until she was flat out running.
Still running, she turned to see how close her
attacker was * Big mistake. *.
Thud -- She had run into something - or someone. She
closed her eyes as she felt his arms crawling around
her waist & up her back so that she was being held
against him.
His fingers ran through her fiery red her & jerked her
head to one side, bearing her neck.
It was at this moment that she opened her eyes.
Then she let out the highest, loudest & most ear
piercing noise.
The sound tore through the vampires ears making his
head ring, he let her go straight away & moved his
hands to his ears in order to block out the sound.
“Cor pet, give it a bloody rest!” Spike cried out.
With that she froze. The sound stoped & she couldn’t
move. Her shoes felt like they were filled with
cement.
“Are you just going to stand there?” he asked her.
“Why are you back here?” She whispered, her voice
filled with venom & her eyes filling with tears at the
memories of what had happened after he left to go &
get Drusilla back.
“You said you wouldn’t come back!” she stated “You
promised you wouldn’t come back! You stuffed my life
up last time you were here and I’m sure your gonna do
it again!” She was now screaming at him, the tears
rolling freely down her cheeks. “You bring trouble,
You ARE trouble! Trouble is bad & I don’t like
trouble!” She couldn’t raise her voice any louder “GO
AWAY!” she screamed with every thing she had left. She
let her self sink down to the floor & started sobbing
uncontrollably.
It was right then that he started giggling. Putting
his hand over his mouth to try & stop the laughter
that was bubbling up inside of him, until he couldn’t
hold it any more & started laughing so loud & hard
that tears started falling carelessly down his cheeks
too.
She lifted her head to give him a deadly stare. It was
then that he stoped. Suddenly very scared.
* Mate pull your self together! * He thought * You are
acting like a bloody sod. What can a very sexy, little
witch do to you? Wait what are you saying? * he
scolded himself * she’s one of the slayers friends.
Your not supposed to think about how her hair falls
around that beautiful face & those eyes... *
Next thing he knew he was falling. & then lying face
down on the side walk.
“What the bloody hell...?” he said as he started to
get up. As he did he saw a very proud looking Willow
looking down at him
“Well that is a clever little trick that you have
there pet” Spike told her.
“I know.” She replied.
“I don’t believe you could do that when I was last in
Sunnyhell”
Her eyes swelled up again at those painful memories.
“Don’t start that again luv, it doesn’t become you.”
He said as he got up from the pavement.
“Oh & you would know this how?” she asked her voice
filled with anger.
“Just do pet, Just do.” He said as he turned & walked
off.

Part 2
She was left standing there stunned.
* Was  that just Spike? * She asked herself * As in
hello-I’m-going-to-have-you-for-dinner Spike? & did I
just move the branch of a tree to make it hit him &
fall face first in the pavement? & he just got up &
walked away after I did this? *
She was lost. This sure looked like the blood-sucking
vampire she knew. He was wearing the same black pants
that he always wore. The same black t-shirt & blood
red shirt that he always wore. & not to forget his
huge black leather duster that she had never seen him
without. Not that she had noticed - of course.

*   *   *

As he walked away quickly but coolly he thought * God
she’s hot! But she’s the Slayer’s best bud. That bitch
she always manages to ruin everything with that sod of
a boyfriend of hers. Lucky thing that he’s gone to LA
* He turned into a dark alleyway and leaned his head
against the wall * That girl is hot, she’s more than
hot. She’s on fire! That red hair, and what a figure
plus she’s  got that whole bad ass Wiccan thing going
on. She’d make one hell of a vampire too. *  He looked
down at the bludge in his pants. “Shit” he said out
loud.  As he moved off to find something to take his
mind off the little red head.

*    *    *

Willow walked the rest of the way home lost in her
thoughts. Oz had just broken up with her. She had just
confronted Spike and her hadn’t killed her. She didn’t
know wether to tell Buffy or not.
After hours upon hours of thinking she came to the
conclusion that she would tell Buffy about Oz. But not
Spike.
Buffy would completely wig if Willow told her about
Spike. She could imagine it now. * ‘Willow do you know
how much danger you put your self in? You could have
been killed!’ * Xander and Giles would be the same. It
was for the best.

*   *   *

Willow decided that she would stay home that day.
Buffy came over and Willow told her about Oz. They
cried together, and ate some ice-cream and anything
else that Willow wanted to do.
They had rented some video’s, some old ‘chick-flicks’
and watched then until it was time for Buffy to go on
patrol.
Willow waited half an hour before going out to see if
she could find something to take her mind off the one
she had been thinking about all day. Spike.

*   *   *

It turned out that her little walk had been a waste of
time, as she bumped into Spike again, literally.
“What is the matter with you?” She asked violently.
“Excuse me pet? I don’t quite follow.” He replied
completely bewildered.
“Why do you always turn up when I don’t want you to?”
She paused for a moment, “And then your never there
when I want you to be!” She spoke before she had time
to stop herself.
It was at that moment that she realised that she was
still in his arms. And she didn’t mind.
“When did you want me to be ‘there’?” Spike asked
still holding her.
There was silence.
“Well pet? I’d like to know when...” He smiled to
himself before going on. “You wanted me.” He finished
with a cocky grin.
She let go of him. She hadn’t realised that she was
holding onto him too.
“I never really wanted you wanted you, I just wanted
you. You know?” She asked looking up into his eyes.
Spike let out a little chuckle and replied,
“No, luv. I can safely say I have no idea what the
hell you are saying.” He let out another little
chuckle.
“Well, you see,” Willow looked at him before going on
and realised that he was about to start laughing at
her. “You. Are. Impossible.” She told him before
pushing past him to continue her walk.
He turned around and started walking next to her.
“Where are you going pet?” He asked.
“Anywhere that’s away from you.” She replied, looking
straight ahead.
“You’re going to see the wolf.” He stated.
“Am not!” Willow replied turning to face him.
“You are too! His house is just down the road.”
He was right. Willow hadn’t even realised that was
where she was. She was stunned. She looked at Spike,
turned around and started walking the other way. Spike
stood there before running to catch up with her.
“Where are we off to now pet?” He asked.
“We are going nowhere. I, however, am going home.”
“Can I come?” He asked hopefully.
Willow stoped again and looked at him, took a deep
breath and said,
“No.” She then turned and proceeded on her way home.
Spike followed her, * I don’t get blown off by a silly
chit like her. * He thought to himself.
* What was I thinking? Why didn’t I let him come? Oh
that’s right his a cold-hearted, blood sucking,
soulless demon. I forgot. *
“Now look here pet, I know what you are going to do
when you get home and I honestly think that it would
be a much better idea if you come with me.” He stated
as he walked with her.
“Oh, you know exactly what I’m going to do, do you?
Please, enlighten me.” She said stopping to look at
him with a disgusted look on her face.
“You, my dear, are going to go home run upstairs and
cry your little heart out.” He finished simply. “You
can pick your jaw up off the floor now.” He told her.
She was absolutely bewildered. He was exactly right.
“H-how did you know?” She asked.
“I  make it my business to know. Now would you like to
come with me, I’ve got something that I think you’d
like.” He asked as he offered her his arm.
Willow looked at his beaming face and sparkling eyes.
* C’mon, C’mon... * He urged her on in his mind.
She took a deep breath and linked her arm with his.
“Ok.” Spike’s face broke out into a radiant smile. *
Yes! * He thought.
