Who: Buffy and Spike What: Out on Patrol When: Last Night Where: Around the streets of Lawrence Warnings: None as yet Status: Incomplete
Buffy had been feeling awkward around Spike since she'd arrived in Lawrence. Before she'd arrived, she'd just watched him die. Watched him sacrifice himself for the world, and for her. And, she didn't know how to handle him being back in her life again. She's told him she loved him, and it hadn't been a lie. She loved the man he'd become. The hero he'd become since he'd gotten his soul.
But, there was always that nagging feeling that it would go wrong. If she actually let him in, he'd leave her. Like, Angel, like Riley. Every man she'd ever loved had left her. It's why she'd sort of avoided him lately. She was afraid, that if she actually let him in. It would all go wrong. Even though, he proved time and time again, that he was always there for her.
But, Buffy knew that she wanted to let him in. See what happened.
All bundled up in winter gear, which was a new look for her. She sat on the wall of the cemetary, waiting for Spike. She had no idea how easy it would be to fight in the crazy thick parka she was wearing. But, this Califoria girl was not used to this weather.
