A/N: For shannon2914, always ♥




Buffy was on her usual nightly walk through the graveyard, except tonight it was raining. She loved when it was raining. It was one of the few things that made her feel something close to happiness, something which seemed to be getting harder and harder to obtain, rather than easier.


Apparently, she would have nothing but her thoughts to keep her occupied tonight. The monsters, it seemed, were hiding from the rain. Monsters could be surprisingly strange when it came to things like that.


There was one monster she was hoping would show up though, but she never knew if he would. Sometimes he would wait for her at her house, other times he would join her on patrol, and some nights, he wouldn’t bother to see her at all.


The nights he did join her in the graveyard always ended the same way. They would wind up naked, limbs entwined, rolling around on one of the graves. She actually preferred that, rather than trying to be quiet in her house. She liked being outdoors.


Buffy hoped he would show up tonight. She actually enjoyed Spike’s company. She enjoyed being around him more than the Scoobies. He understood her better than any of them. She didn’t have to pretend to be happy around him, and she didn’t have to pretend that she was okay. She got to be herself around Spike, and that made her crave time with him even more.


She knew what her friends would think if they found out she was sleeping with Spike, and she knew that she should feel the same way. Part of her did feel that way, though. After all, Spike was still a monster. He didn’t have a soul like Angel did, he just had a chip in his head.


It shouldn’t cause him to have any feelings though. He was still a monster after all. He just couldn’t harm humans. What would have caused Spike to start having feelings for her? She really didn’t have feelings for him. She got to be herself around him and she craved that more than anything. Besides, the sex was fantastic.


It started raining harder then. She should just call it a night and go find Spike, but she was really enjoying the rain. Besides, the rain would stop soon. It never lasted long around here.


Sure enough, after a few minutes of walking around in the pouring rain, it slowed to just a light sprinkle.


That’s when she smelled it. The unmistakable smell of cigarette smoke. Buffy smiled. Spike had shown up after all.


She walked towards the smoke, and towards something that resembled happiness, something that she could only find in the dark.

Thank you! I really like "hearing" those kind of happy thoughts about the two of them

Well, better than a sad ending :)
I'm really glad you liked it. These make me nervous because I really want you to like them.

I don't think you could write a Spike/Buffy story that I wouldn't like.

I'm just saying
1. You are a fantastic writer
2. I like Spike/Buffy.

See? All the qualities needed for a great story! haha

It's the least I can do. Seriously. I wish I could do more. Maybe one day I can.
