Spike x Reader The Other Summers'

Soul Return

"Spike, no. I'm not as advanced as them, it would be safer if one of them did it. They know more about this sort of thing...heck Willow's performed it before for Angel she can-" I began bolting upright out of Spike's comforting embrace.

"Would you shut up for a moment, Love? I trust you, I believe that you're fully capable to perform it. I mean it'd be poetic wouldn't it? My soulmate restores my soul." 

"Seriously? You want to risk something going wrong with your soul restoration for poetic licence?" I rant arms flailing as Spike begins smirk up at me. "What? Why are you smirking? why aren't you taking this seriously?"

"I am taking this seriously. I trust you, the other witches can help you out during it I just thought you could take the lead on it." Spike says his blue eyes gazing deep into my e/c ones.

"What if-" Spike once again interrupts me.

"I've been around a hell of a lot longer than you and I'm not going to let you waste your time thinking about what ifs all the time I trust you, you can do it. Right now your little friends are collecting the necessary items required for it sure Buffy and a few others are against it but they decided to put their issues aside for your happiness."

"If you're like this without a soul," I pause for a moment to laugh slightly, "You must be completely whipped." Spike glares at me momentarily.

"Who knows, you could end up being my muse to start writing again." Spike jokes.

"Don't go over board I've never really been a fan of poetry." I tease as he sits up wrapping his arms around me. "Future reference I don't like a man that's whipped I've heard about the repulsive goo goo eyes and pandering to Drusilla, rather disgusting and complete turn off."

"Hey N/n, Spike we're ready when you are." Dawn calls from the other side of my bedroom door.

"Alright, we'll be right down."

"C'mon Pet, let's give this vamp a soul." Spike grins taking my hand and leading me downstairs.

Buffy is stood with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face as she sees Spike and I together but she's quick to put a false smile on her face once her eyes meet mine. Xander and Anya are stood side by side  Giles not too far away they were still clearly unsure of how to feel about it all. Dawn Willow and Tara on the other hand had genuine bright smiles on their faces as they finished up the final prep work.

"Well...didn't realise this was a group bonding activity." Spike says sarcastically in efforts to ease the tension.

"Well lets get this started then." Willow says ushering me into position.

I kneel down in front of the circle of bones, runic stones, burning incense and in the middle of the circle an Orb of Thesula. All eyes are on me and the pressure is increased massively.

"Is it okay if people that aren't needed here aren't here? It's a lot for a girl to take in on her first time." I smile awkwardly up at my friends as the nod understandingly and leave well all except Dawn who wants to to stay and watch and hopefully learn more about witch craft however, she is still forced out with the rest.

As dictated Willow recites the first line before I continue the rest our energies focussing strictly on this task.

"Quod perditum est, invenietur.""Nici mort, nici al fiinţei,te invoc spirit al trecerii.Gods, bind him, cast his heart from the evil realm.Let him know the pain of humanity, gods.Reach your wizened hands to me. Give me the sword...Te implor, Doamne; nu ignoră aceasta rugăminte.Lăsa orbită să fie vasul care-i vă transportă sufletul la el.Este scris, aceasta putere este dreptul poporul meu de a conduce.Redă trupului ce separe omul de animal.Aşa să fie cu ajutorul acestui magic glob de cristal.Aşa să fie! Aşa să fie!Acum! Acum!" I finish wincing as I hear Spike yell out in pain as his eyes glow for a brief moment reassuring us that his soul had been restored.Spike's body trembled his hands clutching his hair as whimpered chants of no's flee from his lips and I rush to his side a newfound feeling of being whole but also being in immense pain."Spike? Spike you're gonna be okay, I promise. I'll be beside you the whole way okay?" I coo as I cautiously wrap my arms around him in efforts to comfort him, on initial contact he flinches away before clinging tightly to me.The eagerly waiting crowd rush back into the living room to see what happened, one look from me to Tara and Willow makes them encourage everyone to leave the room leaving my shuddering soulmate and I curled up on the floor."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Spike began repeating as I wipe away the flood of tears streaming down from his glistening sapphire eyes."You'll be okay I'm here.""Y/n?" He asks softly."Yeah, I've got you." I repeat kissing his forehead whilst gently stroking his hair.After a few moments I stand up bringing him with me and leading him up to my room for a more comfortable and convenient location for the pair of us.
A few hours passed and Spike was curled up in the foetal position on my bed when a soft knock lands on my door. Leaving my soulmate alone on my bed I peer my head round my door to be greeted by Tara."Hey, how is he?" She asks softly."Not great. He's done terrible things, I mean we're talking about a hopeless romantic poet that's woken up and realised he's done a Jack the Ripper, only on more extreme levels." I reply casting a forlorn glance his way."Well we're here to help however we can." She says softly. "For you, too. When you want us to you know do the memory erase let us know." Tara stammers in her usual affectionate way before giving me a quick hug to return to Willow and probably Dawn.

Closing my door I take in Spike's tortured state and my heart breaks, his aura flashing different colours and hues keeping up with the mixing emotional mind sets he's going through as he responds to a new memory.

"I wish there was something I could do to help." I sigh sadly before climbing back into the bed and holding him close to me.

IDK I was in an unfocused sort of mindset while writing this so It probably wasn't as good as it could've been but yeah please vote and leave a comment let me know what ya think.
