It was late and dark out, my parents were away for the weekend, so I was home alone. It was quite cool out and so I decided to sit down next to the fire and continue to read my book, it was one Willow had leant me about, funny enough.. vampires. Just as I was getting into a very interesting chapter I heard banging at the back door. I rolled my eyes as I recognized the way the person was knocking. I put down my book and made my way over to the door, but as I open it, I'm faced with a very bloody and beaten blond vampire.

"What the hell happened ?" I say slightly in shock.

To which I just get a grumble as he pushes past me, walking straight into the kitchen. I notice that even his leather jacket was slightly ripped. 

Spikes pov:

I stand there banging on her door, silently praying she's still up.. when I hear the door unlock I try to slightly hide my face, knowing she could still see the state of me. When my eyes met hers, all I could see was the worry and slight confusion on her face. I knew she was going to ask me what was wrong but that's a question I didn't particularly want to answer right now so I just push past her, making my way into her kitchen.

Your pov:

I notice him avoiding my questions but also notice the drips of blood falling from his face, so don't hesitate to say, while pulling out a chair.

"Don't move, just sit here, the last thing I need is your blood all over the house."

A few moments later I make my way back into the kitchen, glad that Spike stayed put, I place the medical kit down on the counter, opening the box to find what I need and wetting a cloth to clean up the cuts along his jaw. I tilt his head up to face me, and start to gently clean up his cuts, to which I receive a hiss, I jut roll my eyes an continue, if he wanted to ignore me, then so would I.

I finally finish and place the last bandage just above his eyebrow. I take a step back and give him one more look over to double check everything is clean. I then walk over to the sink to clean out the cloth, I hear him get up but don't think much to it until I feel a pair of hands gently place themselves around my waist and hear a little "thanks love."

I give a slight shrug of my shoulders "no worries." I was dying to know how he had managed to get himself into this state this time, even though I already had quite a good idea. This wasn't the first time Spike had showed up to my house looking all bloody and beaten.. the last time it was because he owed some old demons money, but after that time, we had spoken and he had promised to stop making stupid bets, so I was really hoping that wasn't the case again..

I turn around, now facing him, his hands still gently on my waist.

Spike pov:

As I see her walk over to the sink, I can feel she's a little angry that I still hadn't really said anything yet.. I know I need to thank her, no one has ever wanted to take care of me the way she does, I feel myself standing up and walking over, my hands drawn to her waist. "thanks love" is all that comes out of my mouth, I notice her shoulders rise a little and hear her quiet answer. I'm not exactly sure what to say next, I feel an awkward silence starting until I feel her turn around, waiting for those eyes to look back to me.. those gorgeous eyes I could get lost in for days.. 

Your pov:

 I look up to meet his gaze, his eyes already waiting for mine.. my heart fluttering in my chest. I couldn't help but take in his features, even bloody beaten and bruised, he was still one of the most majestic beings I had ever set my eyes on. I hear him clear his throat and I am snapped out of my thoughts.. I finally decide to speak first.

"So, want to tell me what happened ?" to which I see him shrug his shoulders.

"Spike!" I say firmly, noticing the smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

"Ok fine, fine.. I heard some demons talking smack about your little friends" He starts to say before I interrupt him "I didn't know you cared about them that much.." 

To which he interrupted back "I don't, that's why I decided to join in" I couldn't help but furrow my brows, but let him continue "But then, they starting talking about you.."

"So ? Does that really matter that you need to end up in this state ?" I say quietly, my eyes still on his.

"It does" He says quickly, his own eyes not leaving mine either.

I tilt my head a little to the side, waiting for him to say more.

"I couldn't let some demon get away with talking about my girl like that.." He says a little shyly, but still keeping that cocky demeanor about him.

I can't help the blush that creeps on my face as I hear his words "Your girl huh ?"

He pulls me a little tighter against him "Well yeah."

A blush starts to make its way onto my face, even more so when I feel him lean in closer, our lips only inches away now, and I close the gap gently pressing my lips against his.

"Maybe I should get beat up more often if this is gonna be the outcome." He says pulling back slightly, to which I smack his shoulder with a slight chuckle. 

"Ow careful, I'm still pretty beaten up" He says leaning back down, this time, his lips crashing a little harder against mine....
