"Right then, Whiskey it is." I say as he tells me Whiskey will do him good. He then mentions I can take whatever I like, just to make things a bit similar I'll probably end up grabbin' some of the Whiskey too. "And the ice is also covered." I say with a slight smile.
"Must make sure that eye of your heels" I place a soft kiss right by the eye, but not where it's swollen, right before it turns.
I begin to stand up and then he calls me love, which only resulted in me forming some huge grin on my face. Couldn’t help it, just the way it sounded when he said that and callin' me that. Did something to me.
"Suppose it could've gotten worse. Guess we'll never know." I sigh. "Prove to everyone I'm the smarter one. Never really did use my brain much."
I head out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Grabbing the towel that's in there I open up the freezer and put some ice in it. I bring that back to him in the bedroom. "Here you go." I say handing it to him. "Now be careful." I smile then head out of the room again and into the living room. I make my way to the small cabinet he mentioned and open it up seeing a few bottles of different liquors there. Pulling out the bottle of whiskey I make a stop in the kitchen once more to grab two glasses then head back to the bedroom.
I place the glasses down at the end table by the bed and pour us each a nice glass. "Here you go." I say as I sit down on the bed next to him and hand him his glass. "Need any help or do you got it?"
A slight smile slides on my face when he kisses just below my eye. My eyes flutter close and my hand comes up to touch the spot lightly. Such a simple gesture, such a sweet gesture. So gentle and unlike the image he's trying to give to everyone. Everyone but me.
When he comes back with the ice, I give him another smile in reply to his and take the towel. I can feel the chill seeping through it from the ice and carefully put it against my eye. Christ, this headache is going to kill me. Sighing as the coolness numbs the pain of my eye, I wait for him to come back with the whiskey.
He pours us both some whiskey and I drink it in one go. The amber liquid burns down my throat, making me sigh at the feeling. "Hmmm?" I look over at him, suddenly feeling so very tired. Shifting a bit on the bed, I lean down and put my head on his chest. There is no steady heartbeat to calm me down, but there's cool skin and he's close by.
"I think I've almost got it now," I mumbled, fumbling with my feet to get my shoes off. Pressing the ice a bit tighter against the swollen eye, I press myself closer to him when my shoes finally fall to the floor with a thud.
He drinks it down rather fast which I do the same. Only difference is I pour myself another glass. Drinking that one down quick I set it down just as I feel his head rest against my chest.
I could feel his warmth through my shirt. Warmed me up a bit, not that I ever needed to be warmed up or even cared for that matter. Just felt a bit nice is all.
I can feel him movin' round a bit as I glance down to see him playing with his shoes. Was bout ready to go and help him but he got them off. Making a thud against the ground just as he started to press himself closer to me.
I wrap my arm round him pulling him in closer. I liked this feelin' right now, whatever it was. I place a kiss on his forehead, seemed I couldn’t get enough of kissin' him. "Get some rest now, and I'll do that whole wake you up every hour or so."
Wouldn't be that hard. Could just sit here in the silence of the room, holdin' him all night and wakin' him up every hour. Didn't mind just sittin' there like that, and I know I wouldn't fall asleep either. Done it many times before, just sit all night thinkin' bout stuff. Never needed much sleep to begin with.
When his arm wraps around me, I cannot help but smile again. I press myself closer to him, feeling a bit warm with my clothes on, but I don't like to move around too much. To tired to do so. Even if it's not very comfortable, I've a very comfortable pillow at the moment. I can undress later, it’s not as though I’m going to get some real sleep this night.
Sliding my leg over his without really noticing, I look up at him as he kisses my forehead. This is nice. Just laying here, Spike close by, his arms around me. I reach out with my free arm and warp it around his waist as well. This is really very nice. I've not done this in a very long time. Lilah was never one for cuddling, or anything like that really.
"Thank you," I mutter sleepily, stretching a bit and dropping a kiss on his throat. Closing my eyes, I snuggle up closer to him, for some reason feeling quite safe in his arms. My breathing slows and I let the exhaustion of days without sleep take over as I drift into a deeper sleep. My eye is still throbbing and my head still aches, but Spike being so close does a lot toward making me feel better.
I continue to keep my arms wrapped tightly round him. Almost like I was protecting him or something of that sort. Yea, protecting him from Angel. Wouldn't that be something. Though that's what I feel like right now. Angel better actually be sorry bout this or else he'll have more coming to him then just a simple talk and a few punches.
Once he adjusts himself and seem to be fully comfortable I begin to run my fingers though his brown locks of hair. Not that there was much but still enough to leave room for my fingers to play with. "Don't need to say thank you love." I say in a soft soothing voice.
Before I know it he's asleep. Which was good, needed to get some sleep. Rest was good when healing. I glance over at the clock just to make sure I wake him in time. Laying my head back a bit against the head board I rest myself. Just start thinkin' bout stuff and how we end up here. Who would've known, picture tellin' us this the other day. Would've both thought this whole thing was crazy, yet here we were.
Time seemed to go by fast, especially when I was thinkin' bout stuff. Well, mainly thinkin' bout one person who just happened to be in my arms. The first hour of the night was up. "Wesley" I whisper in his voice. "Been an hour, have to check up on you." I place a kiss on his cheek hopin' that will wake him up.
There are dreams. They aren't new, at least not anymore. They've been the same since that night on the roof. The night I shot my father. When I close my eyes, it happens again, over and over. No matter what I try, no matter what I change, the outcome is the same. I end up shooting him. Killing him. I'm a murderer.
This night it's not any different. Though for some reason it seems as though I'm not all there. As though I'm just looking on, as though I'm the audience, not the partaker. Even it is I who's doing the killing in the end. But when I move around a little restless, there are strong arms around me and I feel a kiss on my cheek.
Blinking my eyes open, I wince at the small amount of light that is still in my room. Luckily, - or not so lucky - one eye is still swollen shut. The pack of ice, now rather soggy and wet seems to have moved down, water seeping into my shirt. I'm too tired to notice though, even if there's a shiver going through me.
"What?" I mumbled, my eyes fluttering closed again. Shifting a little, I make an annoyed sound at the back of my throat as the cold wet towel presses to close. That's very unlike Spike, who's pleasantly cool. And soft. And gentle. And so very sexy and... Right.
"Why do I need to wake up?" I wonder, prying my eyes open again to look at him. "Is it morning already?" God, I hope not. I don't want to go to work. I'm very comfortable where I am now. Was I even going into work? Why should I wake up when it's still dark?
Course, never is easy waking up. Must be especially hard when you've got pain like that. "You need to wake up so we can check on you. Remember that part love, every hour." I give him a look, though I realize he can't really see me at the current position we are in.
I notice the towel that once held the ice not really well, holding the ice anymore. Was all wet and getting on him. Not that he seemed to notice it much. Picking it up I place it on the end table. Might not have been the best idea, the table will end up wet. Doubt it'll do any damage. Can clean that up later. Wasn't really my first concern. My concern was Wesley at the moment.
"How are you feelin?" Not completely sure what I should be asking him. Wasn't use to this sort of thing. "Don't worry in a minute or so you can go back to that sleep you were just in."
I need to wake up? For a moment I wonder why I need to wake up. And why my face hurts as though it's met the short end of a stick. Or a brick wall. Oh, right. Angel's fist. He and Spike had been fighting and my idiot self had tried to get in the middle of that. God, I should really *never* do that again.
Shivering when he moves the ice away from the bed, I glance down at my soaked shirt. I'd better get rid of that or I'll really be chilled to the bone. "I'm feeling," I stared, using him for leverage as I push myself up. "As though a truck drove over me and then backed up again." Or close to that.
Glancing down at my shirt, I start to fumble with the buttons. But they suddenly seem so very tiny and my fingers for some reason seem to be to thick to get them undone. Making an annoyed sound in the back of my throat, I glance over at Spike helplessly. "Would you mind?" I ask, "I'd rather not snuggle back up to you in a wet shirt." Giving him a shy smile as those words leave my mouth and duck my head.
"Seems bout right." I say to his response on how he's feelin'. Didn't really expect him to be feelin' the greatest right now. Guess that's what happens when Captin' forehead decides it's nice to go round throwing punches.
I watch as he starts to play round with his buttons on his shirt. Don't really say anteing but watch. Then he asked me to help him out. Was waitin' for him to ask that. "Of course." I say as I move my hand over to his shirt and begin to unbutton it. Finally gettin' all them undone I slide his shirt off him. "Did you want a blanket or anything" I say with a concern voice as I finally realize I might as well take off my leather duster. Not like I was going anywhere anytime soon.
Sittin' up a bit I slide the thing off me and let it hit the ground. Normally I'd be a bit more concern bout the thing and set it someplace nice but didn't really care at the moment. "Anything you need, just let me know."
"Thank you," I mutter as he slides the shirt off my shoulders. The concern in his voice surprises me for a moment. But then I smile and glance at my bed. "I'll slide under here. I'll just take my jeans off. It'll be a little more comfortable."
Fumbling with the button, and finally managing to get the damn thing loose, I unbuckle the belt and start to move my jeans off. Which for some reason seems to hurt my head. Oh how I've missed these concussions. Muttering under my breath, I lay down and struggle them off. Tossing them to the side, I rub a hand over my face and wince when it bumps against the bruise.
"That'll be quite a shiner in the morning," I sigh, glancing over at him. Sliding under the covers, I move over to him and pause as I look him up and down. "Do you want to get a little more comfortable?" Or maybe he doesn't want to stay here now? I mean, it's not as though I don't remind of his fight with Angel. Oh wait, anything I need?
"Anything?" I smile at him again, pretending to think that over. "How about you getting comfortable here with me? U-unless you had...uh...other plans." Well, no. Otherwise he'd not have agreed to come with me before Angel interrupted right?
I just smile when he says thank you. Didn't really need him to be saying that but so long as he was might as well make some note of it. "Your more then welcome love." I say with a grin.
I watch as he gets his pants off and slides under the covers. He was right I should get more comfortable. Not that being completely dressed for the most part wasn't comforable for me. Done it many nights like this but might as well get more comfortable right along with him.
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything."
He looked to be thinking over that but I could tell he wasn't really. He had something in mind already.
"How about you getting comfortable here with me? U-unless you had...uh...other plans."
Just as I figured. "Sorry love, I do have other plans. You know going to be leaving in just a second." I say in a serious tone and get a look from him. "Course I don't. I'm all yours right now and not going anywhere."
I swing my legs over the side of the bed and sit up. Bending over a bit I undo my boot buckles and untie the damn things then slide them off. Standing up I take off my shirt then continue with the pants and let them slide to the ground. Once I'm in nothing but my boxers I slip into bed next to him "Much better."
I pause for a moment when he repeats his 'anything', only to blurt out what I'd like not long after. I don't know what it is about this man...pire, but for some reason I feel very comfortable around him. Which is rather odd. Even odder if one considers that after all that time, it's just been in the past few hours we've gotten to know each other better. *Much* better.
When he tells me he has other plans, I just know my face falls just a little bit. Or as much as it is capable of doing while half swollen. I suppose it's a good thing he can only see one eye, since I'm almost positive I'm unable to keep the small flash of hurt out of them. "Oh..." I start to now, but then blink when everything moves on in a rush.
The next thing I know he's off the bed and stripping down. I let my eyes travel up and down his body appreciatively, the more is getting revealed. He really is quite gorgeous. I don't know how Angel could have walked away from that. Alright, there were different factors working there but still.
When he slips into bed, I smile at him and curl around his body. Putting my head on a cool chest, I try not to be to disconcerted about the fact that it's not rising and falling with every breath. Or the fact that there is no heartbeat. Still.... "This is nice. Thank you for being here, Spike," I say quietly, my hand tracing random patterns on his chest and stomach.
Once I made myself comfortable again he curled up against me. Liked having him in my arms, gave me a sort of comfort that I don't get much. And even now like this, with his face being swollen and all he still looked as handsome as ever. He truly was more amazing to me each and every minute.
"Your the one to thank. Thank you for giving me this night and lookin' past who I am" I place a soft kiss on his forehead. Really shouldn't start getting all sappy like that last thing seemed to be but couldn't help it. Just hope this will last longer then just a few nights, whatever this may be.
"Now go back to sleep." I lightly trace over his face with my fingers. I'm sure not to touch too hard on the parts that are swollen. "I'll get you back up in another hour, but for now just rest. You need all the rest you can get."
Just as I’m settled in nicely, he has to go and say a think like that. I turned my head a little and lift if from where it was from his cool chest. His skin felt nice, cool, but very nice. It was so different from the warm or hot skin I was used to feeling. Though, when *had* been the last time I felt any skin that wasn’t my own? A year? Longer? Lilah, I think it was.
“It’s easy to look past who people think you are and see the real you,” I whisper, leaning up with a groan to press a kiss to his lips. Oh god, I hope this headache goes away fast. It’s seriously taking away my time to enjoy this. Settling back down, my eyes flutter closed when his lips touch my forehead. It’s somehow soothing. “I should thank you,” I mutter sleeping, stifling a yawn. “For allowing me to see the real you, love.”
Shifting my let over his, I just let my eyes close and sleep take over. I nod dumbly at his words, and then remember not to do that. At least not tonight, as a sharp pain shoots through my head and makes my face throb. A small hiss presses through my teeth, and I press closer to Spike. Feeling quite safe in his arms, against his body.
“I’ll see you soon,” I mumble, already drifting off into a very tired sleep.
The thing he whispered in my ear, it meant much more to me then he'd ever know. Him being able to look past what people think and see the real me, don't think anyone was able to do that. Sides mother of course. But no one else ever saw the real, true me. Even times when I tired to show it to people didn't work out much.
Felt a bit of something inside of me once his lips touched my cool lips. Was starting to feel things I hadn't really felt before. Don't really know what this even was that I was feelin' cuase it couldn't be well you know.
"Really no need to thank me." I say in a soft voice "Should really be thanking you for letting me show you the real me." Which was true, most wouldn't even give me that chance and if they ever did see the real me they'd just look down on me more. Wouldn't accept who I really was. But him for some reason didn't run off, he stayed. Well, course right now he had to with the current situation but even before that happened he wasn't going to be runnin' off.
Started to drift off again. Wasn’t sure how good this whole on the hour thing was working but if I had to do it I would. Don’t need to sleep that much to begin with. Just allow myself a nice light rest.
From time to time I glance at the clock until I finally see that a little over an hour passed by. I shift my body a bit and place a kiss on his forehead “Time to wake up again love” I say as I run my fingers though his brown hair. “Nother hour went on by.”
Sleep wasn’t very restful. There was this throbbing pain behind my eyes that kept wishing me to poke my eyes out just to get it over and done with. I was to tired to do so though, or even to tired to open my eyes. Jolts of pain kept shooting through my head like electricity and half my face felt as though it was on fire. I wish I could put it on Spike’s cool skin, but just laying on it hurt. Angel is going to be hearing of this. God, I never knew he could pack such a punch. But considering he thought he’d be aiming for Spike…
In the end I apparently did manage to sleep some, even if it felt like I’d only just closed my eyes when I heard Spike. His hand sliding through my hair felt like a breath of fresh hair. I almost yearned to feel those slender fingers massage the pain away. That wasn’t very likely to happen though, even if it helped Cordelia with those visions headaches from time to time.
“Hmmm?” I pried my eyes open with some difficulty and blinked up at him blearily. My, that certainly was a sight for sore eyes. My own cherub, my own succubus. Another sharp pain shot through my face and head, making me squeeze my eyes shot with a groan. “Where are we?” I muttered, trying to recall how where we were and how we got here. The bed felt familiar. Were we in my own bed? I…don’t really remember. Just Angel’s fist.
And Spike’s body, which I pressed myself a little closer to. He made me feel quite safe, because the not knowing scared me somewhat. Concusion, I told myself. The obvious symptoms for them. Bugger all.
“I was dreaming you were kissing me and we made love on the beach under the moonlight,” I smiled, even though my eyes were closed, wondering where in the hell *that* had come from. Great, now I was blushing like an idiot again.
"Must make sure that eye of your heels" I place a soft kiss right by the eye, but not where it's swollen, right before it turns.
I begin to stand up and then he calls me love, which only resulted in me forming some huge grin on my face. Couldn’t help it, just the way it sounded when he said that and callin' me that. Did something to me.
"Suppose it could've gotten worse. Guess we'll never know." I sigh. "Prove to everyone I'm the smarter one. Never really did use my brain much."
I head out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Grabbing the towel that's in there I open up the freezer and put some ice in it. I bring that back to him in the bedroom. "Here you go." I say handing it to him. "Now be careful." I smile then head out of the room again and into the living room. I make my way to the small cabinet he mentioned and open it up seeing a few bottles of different liquors there.

“I’ll see you soon,” I mumble, already drifting off into a very tired sleep.

Felt a bit of something inside of me once his lips touched my cool lips. Was starting to feel things I hadn't really felt before. Don't really know what this even was that I was feelin' cuase it couldn't be well you know.
"Really no need to thank me." I say in a soft voice "Should really be thanking you for letting me show you the real me." Which was true, most wouldn't even give me that chance and if they ever did see the real me they'd just look down on me more. Wouldn't accept who I really was. But him for some reason didn't run off, he stayed. Well, course right now he had to with the current situation but even before that happened he wasn't going to be runnin' off.
Started to drift off again. Wasn’t sure how good this whole on the hour thing was working but if I had to do it I would. Don’t need to sleep that much to begin with. Just allow myself a nice light rest.
From time to time I glance at the clock until I finally see that a little over an hour passed by. I shift my body a bit and place a kiss on his forehead “Time to wake up again love” I say as I run my fingers though his brown hair. “Nother hour went on by.”

In the end I apparently did manage to sleep some, even if it felt like I’d only just closed my eyes when I heard Spike. His hand sliding through my hair felt like a breath of fresh hair. I almost yearned to feel those slender fingers massage the pain away. That wasn’t very likely to happen though, even if it helped Cordelia with those visions headaches from time to time.
“Hmmm?” I pried my eyes open with some difficulty and blinked up at him blearily. My, that certainly was a sight for sore eyes. My own cherub, my own succubus. Another sharp pain shot through my face and head, making me squeeze my eyes shot with a groan. “Where are we?” I muttered, trying to recall how where we were and how we got here. The bed felt familiar. Were we in my own bed? I…don’t really remember. Just Angel’s fist.
And Spike’s body, which I pressed myself a little closer to. He made me feel quite safe, because the not knowing scared me somewhat. Concusion, I told myself. The obvious symptoms for them. Bugger all.
“I was dreaming you were kissing me and we made love on the beach under the moonlight,” I smiled, even though my eyes were closed, wondering where in the hell *that* had come from. Great, now I was blushing like an idiot again.
