Just like for the past couple months, I was patrolling with the Scoobies, it was starting to become a routing, I quite liked it, I felt like I had a sort of purpose.. not to mention some cool new friends.We had met up after class, the usual, we made our way to the cemetery, split up into the same groups as we usually do, I was with Buffy as I was still the newest addition and the least experienced, so it made me feel a little safer. I met the gang when they didn't realize I was in the library during one of their vampire meetings. I remember their panicked faces like it was just yesterday, it's been about a year by now but Buffy was worried about taking me on patrol until more recently, and now here we are.
We were walking down the main path, as Xander and Willow went the other way. I look over to Buffy, about to ask her where she wants me exactly tonight when a vampire jumps out at us, then another, Buffy dusts them pretty quickly, I stand there watching, I will never not be impressed by how fast and how good she is at the whole slaying thing.
We turn to continue walking when I feel a weight hit me, I hold up my wooden stake ready to dust him when he suddenly puts up his hands in surrender and shouts.
"Hey hey it's just me !"
I turn to Buffy, my brows slightly furrowed in confusion as if to ask Who the hell is this ?
Buffy rolls her eyes at him "That's just Spike."
When Spike suddenly interrupts "JUST ?!"
"Yeah I mean you can stake him if you like." She adds nonchalantly while shrugging her shoulders, to which Spike narrows his eyes at her.
I turn back to Spike, my eyes on my weapon, not quite sure what to do until he pushes the stake in my hand away from him. I look up, my eyes actually taking in his features this time.. those deep soulless eyes, those almost sculpted cheekbones, that pale skin and bleach blond hair. Then his scent hit me, cigarettes, fresh blood and fresh air, it was intoxicating, or maybe it's just because it was his. I am snapped out of my thoughts when Buffy tells us we need to continue patrolling, I feel a hint of heat rising in my cheeks after realizing that I may have been starring a moment too long.
"Yeah lets move on." I say turning to Buffy and starting to walk off, we walk a few feet until I feel a presence by my side that definitely isn't Buffy's as she had just turned the other way so that we could split up, she was trusting me on my own tonight.
"I don't think we've met pet" Spike says falling into step with me.
"No, I don't think we have, I'm yn." I say while stopping and putting my hand out for him to shake, he takes it into his and for a moment I feel my breath almost catch in my throat, it's funny really how someone can make you feel so helpless ?
"I'm Spike." he says with an almost smug smile playing on his lips. All I can do is nod in response. I let go of his hand and clear my throat, continuing to walk along the path, after a moments silence I speak up.
"So... are you not a dangerous vampire" he snaps his head towards me so I quickly add "no I mean, because you're still here, when she's the vampire slayer ?"
"yeaaaah.. it's complicated" I tilt my head to the side waiting for him to continue "ok well, I am still the Big Bad don't get me wrong! But I'm stuck with this now" He says pointing to the back of his head. I try to hide a smile at the Big bad comment and decide to ask him what that has to do with anything.
"You really don't know anything? Wow nice to know they talk about poor old Spike" he says sarcastically and pauses before adding "well I've got myself a chip up here that doesn't let me eat any of you lot." He says pointing to me.
"I see." I say quietly, not really sure what I should be answering to what he's just told me. Then add on "Well if it wasn't there, I guess we wouldn't of had the time to properly meet.. you know with you probably draining my blood pretty quickly if you didn't have that and all." I say with an awkward smile, realizing what I had just said to him, way to make things weird. But Spike fortunately didn't take it that way.
"That's true, I mean I wouldn't say I'm happy about this thing in my head but it's got it's perks" He says cocking his brown while looking me up and down. I shift a little nervously under his gaze, almost feeling like his next prey with my eyes unable to leave his own. For a moment I felt like I was looking straight into his soul, and him into mine. I know, a weird feeling to have towards someone who doesn't even have a soul. But all I could feel was something pulling me to him, and I wondered, did he feel it too ?
Spike's pov:
As my eyes looked back up to meet hers, it felt as if she could see me, I mean truly see me, as if she was looking at every flaw, every detail and bad thing I had ever done in my life, but it didn't even matter.. all my mind could focus on was her beauty, she truly was breathtaking, like a breath of fresh air I actually needed. All I could see was her, how her hair fell over her shoulders, the way her eyes were just gently glistening in the moonlight.. the tint of rose on her nose from the cold night air and the faint smell of cherry lipgloss on her lips. She was overwhelming every sense I had.
I wasn't quite sure what it was, but something was pulling me to her, like an invisible string holding us together.
Back to yn's pov:
I couldn't take my eyes off of him for what felt like an eternity, until I heard someone calling my name and I was suddenly dragged back into reality.
I give him a gentle smile and quietly say "Until we meet again Spike." and start to walk off towards Buffy.
"Until we meet again yn." he says to himself, his eyes not leaving me as he watches me walk away.
When I reach Buffy she links her arm in mine, and as we start to walk off home she jokingly says,
"Trust me, don't get involved with a vampire."
To which I can only smile, wondering when our paths will meet again...
