WHO: Spike and Buffy Summers
WHAT: Buffy and Spike have gone back to normal and now have quite a bit to talk about
WHEN: May 13th; Early morning
WHERE: Spike's apartment
RATING: PG probably
STATUS: In Progress

The first thing Spike was aware of as he woke up, besides the fact that it was still dark out, was that he was not alone in his bed; not that this was all that new, considering Buffy had spent the night a few times since she'd been brought back to Colligo, but what made this time different was the fact that he didn't actually remember going to sleep. Sitting up, he reached over and turned on the lamp beside the bed despite the fact that he had no trouble seeing in the dark and picked up his PDA, blue eyes widening slightly as he noted the date. May thirteenth? It wasn't until he glanced over at the sleeping Buffy that the last two weeks finally came rushing back to him as his grogginess instantly vanished. They'd been their future selves. They'd been married. And he'd been human. Exactly how he'd become human, he couldn't remember; there were bits and pieces of things, but as soon as he tried to focus on something it slipped away and he was left with only the last two weeks. There was something else that had happened at some point during those two weeks, but Spike couldn't quite remember what it was. What he did remember, however was that his future self had apparently stopped bleaching his hair at some point. The memory of seeing himself in the mirror with dark hair caused him to glance at the mirror over the dresser, which had been Buffy's only a few months earlier; the whole room had originally been Buffy's and having her there next to him just felt right.

Realizing that he should probably wake her up, Spike reached over, placing his hand on the Slayer's shoulder and shook her gently, "Wakey, wakey, Slayer." He knew the dangers of waking a Slayer in the middle of the night, but he was more than prepared to defend himself if she suddenly attacked him, not that he thought that would happen; after all, she wasn't Faith.

"You already know. I had friends who were normal, I was a cheerleader, I went to parties, and all that. I didn't think vampires were real, and zombies were out of the question. After school we would head to the mall for smoothies, and shopping. We talked about boys and shoes, and I do love gossip, or I did. I would have won prom queen eventually, until I gave up perfect nails for daggers." Her life was simply normal, and when she thought about it, she missed what it could have been. She wouldn't trade the people that she had met on the way now for anything, especially the vampire next to her. "I didn't ever see myself with a vampire, but now it makes so much sense." She ran her hand over his chest, settling down next to him.

"I should be able to call you whatever I want, from Billy, to Willy, blood sucker, vampire, to blondie." She hadn't really spent time with John, even if he seemed to take the place of Spike's bff.

"And I didn't see myself settling down with a Slayer, so we're in the same book." Never in a million years had Spike thought that he'd rather cuddle up with a Slayer as opposed to killing one, but Buffy was different in so many ways from all the past Slayers, so it really wasn't that much of a surprise that she would have changed his entire way of living. Sure, they had started out as enemies and all Spike had wanted to do when he'd heard about her was add her to his scoreboard of Slayers he'd killed, but upon meeting her, he'd quickly realized that killing her was not going to be an easy task and other than Nikki Wood, he had never met a Slayer who could actually give him a run for his money. Once Angelus had been thrown into the mix and he'd been chipped, everything was different. Not being able to hurt Buffy or any other humans had changed him and brought the humanity that he still possessed further to the forefront. And honestly, he wasn't complaining. Spike had always appeared to possess more humanity than Angelus, Darla and Dru and it had often gotten him mocked.

"Do not. I repeat, do not sodding call me Blondie Bear. Surprised I didn't just stake Harmony after hearing that a dozen bloody times a day." He still wasn't exactly sure why he'd hooked up with Harmony. She had been utterly annoying and the only good thing about that part of his life had been the sex. "And Willy is just wrong. Thought you were better than that, Slayer."

"Harmony? Did you really have to bring that up? We are in bed," Buffy replied, rolling her eyes. She wouldn't have minded taking down Harmony at all. If the girl showed up there, she had could do it. It certainly hadn't bothered her when Harmony left Sunnydale. "Blondie-Bear is definitely out, but I might settle for Willie."

She sat up, stretching. "So we aren't married, and we are back with the great Morgan Freeman leading the way. Let's get breakfast." Back to business, leaving the fantasy behind, she tried to wash away the Harmony annoyance. It was hard to remember that time when she would have said that she didn't care. He could go and do what he wanted. At least he wouldn't be obsessed with her. Those days were gone.

"I need a shower." She looked back at Spike and grabbed a robe.
