BtVS - Buffy/Spike - PG - Set during S5
For
awmp - sorry, no snark, just angst. A bit cheesy, I'm afraid.
Home Alone
The house is lifeless with Dawn sleeping over at Janice’s and Mom in hospital.
Buffy can’t see him, but she knows he’s there, lurking behind the tree. Slayer tinglies. Plus, she can smell his cigarettes.
This crush of Spike’s is insane. Slayers and soulless vampires are un-mixy.
Sooner or later Spike will get over it, and go back to trying to kill her. That’s okay, how it should be; but right now, she’s glad he’s there. Slayer or no, right now Buffy needs someone to watch over her - even if it’s just a chain-smoking vampire with a stupid, hopeless crush.
