WOLFRAM
AND HART, NIGHT:
After
Spike got a good day's rest, with
Now
came the difficult part: Spike's sleeping arrangements.
"Well
I believe he should stay with me. He obviously needs someone to look after him
until the party tomorrow which I can also escort him to"
"Hey!
I've not left Spike's bedside ever since the whole Aston incident" Angel
shuddered at the name.
"You've
stayed next to me for 4 months?" Spike asked shyly.
Angel
blushed and nodded.
"My
God you're supposed to be vampires and are acting like lovesick puppies! Just
send Spike with Angel, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. It's not as if they're
exactly arguing anymore is it?" Wesley shook his head at their childish
behavior.
Angel
and Spike glared at Wesley.
"Listen,
I think it's great that Spike will stay with Angel. Now do us all a favor and
get out! You've all been here bickering for 10 minutes! Now shoo! I have work
to do. Go on out with you!" Claire started shoving them all out of the
ward, with
"Well
it's real late now guys. I would love to stay and watch you all argue but I
haven't slept for the past 3 days and I need the rest. Also I want to check out
that Technician, I think her name is Selena. Oh! There she is" Gunn then
ran off next to a woman who giggled and linked arms with Gunn.
Everyone
missed the jealous look a certain person gave the couple.
"Right
then it's settled. Spike will stay with Angel until he's well or they come to
some sort of arrangement. Agreed?" They nod, "Good! Night all"
Wesley then also went.
"I
shall come up tomorrow to see how Spike is doing. If he is being mistreated in
any way he will be coming with me. Understand?" Angel nods.
Angel
and Spike looked at each other before Angel coughed and broke the silence.
"So
erm
I best take you up. Are you all right? Dizzy? Pains? Aches?" Angel
checked over Spike while Spike laughed.
"I'm
fine, really Angel I feel great. Good nights sleep is just what I need to face
tomorrow evening." Spike smiled at Angel.
"Sure
I can sort out a place for you to sleep" Angel and Spike went into the
elevator going up to Angel's apartment.
ANGELS
APARTMENT, NIGHT:
As
the elevator came to a stop, the two vamps stepped out of the elevator and
Angel went around gathering supply's for the night.
Spike
stood uncomfortably while Angel done this and was starting to get restless.
"Angel,"
Spike sighed,
"I'm
nearly done Spike, I just need to get a few more things" Angel mumbled
before going off and swearing occasionally when he dropped something.
"I
was wondering if I could have a shower? You know I'm not liking the hospital
smell and I'm sure your not either" Spike shifted as Angel came to a stop,
standing on his tip toes to reach the linen, and stared at Spike.
"Angel?
Hello! The shower plus me equals clean! Yes? No? Hello!" Spike gestured
when Angel didn't move.
Angel
gave a jolt, and dropped a stack of linen before coming over to Spike and
sniffing.
"It's
not that bad" Angel said, "Besides I like how you smell" Angel
added under his breath.
Spike
gave him a confused glance, "Huh?" he asked,
Angel
swallowed. "Oh it's nothing, you go take a shower if you want and I'll
make up the bed" Angel said and smiled at Spike.
Spike
nodded and headed into the direction of the shower, looking over his shoulder
every now and then to glance at Angel.
When
the shower turned on and Spike's loud singing filled the room, Angel slowly let
out the breath he didn't know he was holding and with shaky fingers set about
making up the bed on the sofa.
After
about 20 minutes, 10 of which Spike had stared into space doing nothing, Spike
walked out squeaky clean and smelling what Angel liked to call 'Just Spike'
They
then stood in front of each other, shifting uncomfortably on their feet.
"So
erm
I guess it's late and I'd better get some sleep for the big day tomorrow. Night
Angel" With that said Spike was just about to flop down onto the sofa
but
was grabbed by Angel.
"Oh
no you don't. There is no way you get out of a coma and sleep on a couch. You
are sleeping in my bed where you can get a good night sleep in a proper
bed" Angel the started shoving Spike, gently, into his bedroom.
"Well
where will you sleep?" Spike asked innocently.
"I'll
take the couch. Now get into bed" Angel waited, crossing his arms over his
chest petulantly.
"Can
I at least have some privacy while I get changed" Spike pouted.
Angel
sighed and turned around.
Spike
grinned and got undressed, "Ok all done" Spike said.
Angel
turned around then flushed crimson and quickly turned back.
"Spike!
You were supposed to get into bed after you got unchanged!" Angel yelled
as Spike stood there looking smug, naked as the day he was born.
"Fine
then" Spike grumbled as he got into bed.
Angel
risked a look behind him before sighing in relief at Spike under the covers. He
then turned around fully to Spike.
"You
know you really know how to make a guy feel unwanted" Spike spoke quietly.
"No
no no no no! That's not what I meant! No! You only just came out of a coma and
I want to take things slow" Angel corrected quickly.
"Well
just because we're going to bed doesn't mean that sex has to be involved"
Spike pouted fully now, bottom lip fully out and trembling.
Angel
took one look at him and knew he was doomed.
"Please
Angel
sire? I don't want to sleep alone" Spikes eyes started watering at
that.
Angel
is completely head over heels now.
"Oh
course I'll stay! But no hands in naughty places or anything related to sex.
Just sleep
and maybe some cuddling," Angel looked at Spike, "Actually
some definite cuddling" Angel corrected him self yet again.
Spike
then gave a bright smile before flopping backwards on the bed, patting the
space next to him.
"Hop
in Peaches
room for one more" Spike said and smiled which was too innocent
when lying in a bed.
Angel
gave Spike a stern look before lying in bed stiffly. Before he knew it he had
an armful of Spike with his head on his chest.
"Night
peaches" Spike said then before Angel had a chance to complain he had
fallen asleep.
Angel
sighed, laying his head on Spike's head and taking a deep breath.
Just
before he fell asleep he smiled and took another sniff at his hair.
"Jasmine"
he spoke softly then fell into an easy sleep
ANGELS
APARTMENT, AFTERNOON:
Angel
shot up in bed, putting Spike protectively behind him and growled at the person
who came out of the elevator.
"I
do not think a being as low as you should be growling at me don't you
think?"
"Nothing
good could have came from this"
"It's
not like that, I mean we were just sleeping. Nothing wrong with sleeping"
Angel growled out.
"Erm
Angel, if it isn't too much trouble I'd like to get dressed since I don't think
I'll be getting much sleep anytime soon" Spike said and gestured to Angels
body which was thrown over in front of him in an possessive manner.
Angel
grumbled, "Fine, I'll just talk to
Both
Angel and
They
were pulled apart by the elevator doors opening again and an enthusiastic Lorne
charged in while squealing.
"Oh
this is so exciting! The decorators have been in and have done up the whole of
the front lobby. There will be magical decorations as well as non-magical with
a wide range of Alcohol for the bleached beauty. The music will also be
provided by yours truly so this is going to be the best party yet! Oh I simply
can't wait!" Lorne was literally jumping up and down with excitement.
"That's
great Lorne" Angel spoke while inwardly groaning.
"I
know isn't it?! Well I need to go and get ready, only 3 hours to go!"
Lorne replied.
"But
it's morning isn't it?" Spike asked while looking outside.
"No
it's late afternoon sweetness,
Spike
coughed, "So erm
I guess we'd better find something to do before the
party"
"Yes
I shall return here at 6.30 to escort Spike, I won't be late" As Illyria
said that she also got into the elevator.
Spike
and Angel looked at each other and grimaced.
Oh
yes, this party is going to be hell.
