Tough Love (Xander + Spike)

I'm Not Ready

Xander and Spike are sitting in Spike's sofa.

Xander is leaning his head onto Spike's shoulder.

"I'm sorry for my little breakdown, Spike.." Xander apologizes to Spike.

"You have nothing to be sorry for" Spike says, reassuring Xander.

Suddenly Xander's cell phone starts ringing.

Xander pulls out his phone to see who's calling.

"Crap, I gotta step outside for a bit"

"Who is it?" Spike curiously asks.

"It's Willow"

Xander quickly stands up and rushes outside.

He answers the call.

"Hey Will!"

"Hi Xander.." Willow says silently.

"Look, I'm sorry about snapping at you earlier" Xander says in an attempt to apologize.

"No, it's okay. I just don't understand why you cared so much. You and Spike aren't exactly close" Willow says confused.

"Well, We've gotten to know each other a little better" Xander responds.

"Okay.. hey, where are you?" Willow asks.

"I'm.. at home. I'm about to go to bed" Xander lies.

"Well, good night, Xander!" Willow says with a laugh.

"Good night" Xander says without any emotion.

He hangs up and quickly heads inside of Spike's crypt.

He's invited by Spike standing right by the door.

"Woah! You scared me" Xander says with a little laugh.

"Ohh.. can I do something to help?"

Spike leans in and kisses Xander.

Spike forces his tongue into Xander's mouth.

He grabs Xander's hands and pulls him closer.

While they kiss he turns them around so he's facing the couch.

Spike pushes Xander away from him so he lands on the couch.

Xander grins widely.

"Don't ever grin like that again, pet" Spike whispers to Xander.

"And if I do?" Xander whispers back while grinning.

"Well, I might have to punish you.." Spike whispers.

Spike moves closer to Xander.

He puts one of his legs on the couch.

He leans down onto Xander so that their bodies are touching.

Spike leans down even more so that his lips touch Xander's.

Spike starts touching Xander's chest.

Their lips leave each other.

Spike keeps touching Xander's chest up and down.

"Please, don't stop.." Xander begs.

"Oh, I won't.." Spike responds.

Their lips touch each other again.

Spike starts dragging his hand down to Xander's crotch.

Xander slowly pushes Spike away enough to end their kiss.

Spike's hand is still touching Xander's crotch.

"Spike.." Xander whispers.

Xander starts getting an erection.

"What? What's wrong? You need some help down there?" Spike offers with a wide grin.

"Spike.. Wait. I'm not ready"

Xander moves away Spike's hand from his crotch.

"But.." Spike cuts himself off.

"I'm just not ready yet.." Xander whispers.

"That's okay.. we'll just settle for making out for now, okay?" Spike reassures Xander.

Xander smiles.

Spike leans in for another kiss.
