Author's Note: This is a pretty short story. I only have about five chapters. It’s just some fluffiness with a little bit of angst on the top. I guess it would take place a little after “Something Blue.” Things are always different in my world, though. I had some fun with this one and I hope you guys would like it. I also hope it wouldn’t be too confusing.

Chapter 1

Buffy Summers was pacing her dorm room. She had a lot on her mind.

“Buffy, you need to calm down. You’re making me dizzy here.”

She stopped to look at Willow. “Sorry, I was never a very patient person. What’s taking him so long? He should have been here by now.”

“I’m sure he’ll be here soon. He said he might be a little late, right?”

Buffy nodded. “Yeah, I still can’t believe he only called me a few times since he’s been gone. I haven’t seen him in months, Will. I’m a little nervous.”

“It’ll be fine and when he does get here, I’ll make myself scarce. I’m sure you guys would want your privacy.”

Buffy smiled at her friend.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Buffy felt nervous again. She glanced at Willow. “How do I look?”

Willow stood up, grabbing Buffy’s shoulders to calm her. “You look great, Buffy. You could wear a paper bag over your head and he wouldn’t care.”

Buffy agreed, taking a deep breath.

Willow went to the door to let their guest in.

Buffy felt relieved when she got the first glimpse of her boyfriend in months. He was without his leather coat and she thought he never looked better.

He graced her with a compassionate smile. “There’s my girl.”

Buffy smiled in return. She ran over to him, giving him a big hug.

He reciprocated the embrace, lifting her off of the floor a little in the process. “I missed you, too,” he whispered.

Buffy pulled away and didn’t hesitate before attacking his mouth in a passionate kiss.

Willow raised her eyebrows at the couple. “Okay, that’s my cue to leave,” she commented. “It’s great to have you back, Spike.”

He only lifted his hand in a wave, never taking his lips off of Buffy’s.

Willow smiled and then left the dorm room. She decided to pay Tara a visit.

Buffy pulled away when breathing became an issue. She rested her forehead against Spike’s. “God, I missed that.”

He smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Just that?”

“Well, mostly that. What took you so long to get back?”

Spike stepped away from her, knowing that they would have to have this conversation. He just hoped it would be later. “I had things to take care of. I’ll tell you everything soon enough. Right now, I could sleep for about a bloody year.”

Buffy pouted. “I was hoping we could do other things.”

He saw the look in her eyes and knew exactly what she had in mind. “I can sleep later.”

Buffy squealed as Spike picked her up and threw her on the bed. She really missed him.

Spike woke with a start. He would have probably been sweating if he was alive. He’d been having the same bloody dream and didn’t know what to make of it. He looked next to him to see Buffy still sleeping peacefully. He brushed the hair out of her face and placed a kiss on her forehead, being careful not to wake her. He went to grab his pants off of the floor and put them on, but his stirring caused Buffy to wake up.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

Spike turned at the sound of her soft voice. “Nothing, go back to sleep.”

Buffy sat up now, the worry evident on her face. “Spike, what is it? Where are you going?”

“I just needed to go for a walk,” he replied.

“The sun will be up soon; don’t you think that would be a bit suicidal?”

Spike smiled, leaning closer to plant a kiss on her lips. “I guess you’re right about that. I just have a lot on my mind.”

“You wanna talk about it?”

He shook his head. “It’s nothing to worry your pretty little head about. Now, go back to sleep. It’s too early for little girl’s to be up.”

Buffy nodded and lay back down.

Spike waited until he knew she was asleep before getting out of the bed. He put his shirt on and took one more look at his Slayer. He then walked out of the dorm room.

“Are you absolutely certain?” Giles asked after Spike showed up at his apartment.

“I just have a really bad feeling. Drusilla knows about Buffy. I think she might do something to her. Why else would I keep having these dreams?”

“Have you spoken to Buffy about your fears?”

Spike shook his head. “I didn’t want to worry her yet. She doesn’t even know why I left. Dru has been sending these demons after me for a while now. She wants revenge on me for choosing Buffy, even though she’s the one that left in the first place. You know she’s not in her right mind.”

Giles had to agree there. “Do you believe she will come back to Sunnydale?”

“I don’t know, but I’m hoping she won’t. I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted with Buffy. I won’t let Dru ruin that.”

Giles nodded. “Well, that’s good to know. Let’s just hope there is no truth to your dreams.”

Spike couldn’t agree more.

“I’m telling you, Will. Something’s wrong with him. He was acting really weird this morning.”

“I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.”

Buffy shook her head, suddenly having a disturbing thought in her mind. “Do you think he doesn’t want to be here? That maybe he regrets coming back?”

Willow could sense the fear in her friend’s voice. “That’s crazy; of course he wants to be here. He was really happy to see you again, Buffy. I’m sure there’s a good explanation for his behavior. You should just talk to him about it.”

Buffy nodded. “Yeah, I guess you’re right,” she replied, thinking about what she would say to Spike the next time she saw him.

“Are you okay? You’ve been really quiet.”

Spike nodded, holding Buffy’s hand tighter as they patrolled the cemetery. “Yeah, I’m fine. I was just thinking about going to England in the winter. I haven’t been there in a while.”

Buffy frowned at that. She was disappointed that he wanted to leave again after just getting back. “Oh, that’s great,” she replied, forcing a smile on her face.

Spike turned to look at her, knowing what she was thinking. “You do know that you will be going with me, right?”

A bigger smile lit up her face now. “Really? You would take me with you?”

“Did you honestly think I could leave you again? It nearly killed me the first time.”

Buffy nodded, finally ready to ask what she has been wondering. “Spike, where did you go? What was so important? I mean, you didn’t really say anything. You just left after telling me that you had to do some thinking. I hardly even got a goodbye. I think the least you could give me now is an explanation.”

Spike ran his fingers through his hair. He knew that he would have to tell her the truth. He just hoped she was ready for it.
