Unseen Watchers
They're sure nobody knows about them, that they've managed to keep their relationship a secret. They're wrong, neither of them has ever been much good at hiding what's in their hearts. Every time they're near each other, their feelings are obvious to anyone who cares to look.
One by one the others noticed that they'd changed, each of them thinking that they are the only one to know. They're all watching, trying to decide if they should speak up, or wait to see how it all pans out. Spike and Xander never notice the eyes that watch their every move.

Giles
Watching them fall in love is like stepping into his past. Memories of long nights in Ethan's arms haunt his dreams. He's terrified for Xander, thinks he's fallen prey to a demon. He believes that the boy will wind up broken, body and soul; that Spike will tear him apart without a care.
But every time he goes to act he sees something that stays his hand. Notices Xander standing a little straighter, sees him fighting with more skill than he's ever shown before. Sees hope and love in Xander's eyes, and knows he can't be responsible for destroying that.

Willow
She always believed Xander loved too easily, gave his heart to those who didn't deserve it. And in Spike, she fears he's made the worse choice yet.
Bite marks and scratches, lines around his wrists that can only have come from rope. She feels herself reaching for her magic whenever Spike's around.
She wants to burn him up, wants to make him scream and bleed, to make sure he never touches Xander again. Only Tara can stay her hand, the fear of losing her keeping Willow silent for now. Blinded by her anger, she doesn't realise he's finally found love.

Tara
If there's one thing Tara's learned in Sunnydale; it's that you always have to look below the surface. She knows that Willow is worried about Xander, and wishes she could make her understand how wrong she is.
When Tara looks at Xander and Spike, she sees everything. She watches in amazement as their auras twist and meld, and blend together. Wonders at the way the darkness in each of them fades a little every time they touch. She sees the love they have, it's as real to her as the clouds in the sky and the earth under her feet.

Dawn
She's not the kid they all still think she is. She knows about Spike and Xander, has seen them kissing more than once. Nobody notices her, and she kind of likes it that way, likes being able to watch, without them knowing she's there.
She knows the others are worried, though she can't understand why. Spike and Xander aren't hurting anyone, especially not each other. They're her family, and they are happy, and seeing them makes her believe in her own future. Makes her think she'll get her own true love one day, find her own place in the world.

Drusilla
She'd come looking for her Dark Prince. Come to sing to him of blood and glory, to take the nastiness in his head and squeeze squish pop until her beautiful boy was free to dance again.
But he's already gone, his heart's twisted turned and tainted, he's gone away from her. He'd skipped, jumped, hopped into the kitten's lair. Pretty, pretty, kitten with his dark eyes and his shiny soul, who's stolen her love away.
Too late, too late, and she should scream and shout and make them bleed. But she can't, they shine too bright for her to touch.

Angel
Nobody knows how often he comes back here. How he stands in the shadows and watches, dreaming of the future he can never have.
He's been waiting for this, knew it would happen long before they figured it out themselves. He knows Spike, understands what makes him tick, and Xander's just as easy to read.
Xander has always wanted someone to put him first, to take care of him like nobody in his life ever has. Spike needs someone to watch over, someone who needs him. They're a perfect fit, even if their friends are too blind to see it.

Anya
She hates them sometimes, hates the way they treat her, never quite accepting her but taking her help just the same. She knows it's worse for Spike, can't imagine what it's like for him, a demon without his powers, living at the mercy of a Slayer's whims.
Xander's the only one who treated her like a real person, who saw beyond her past, and he's still got no idea of how special that made him. If she'd been able to love him, she'd never have let him go. Spike makes him happy, and Anya won't let anyone mess with that.

Buffy
She can see what they've become. Can see Spike watching Xander like he used to watch her. See how Xander turns to Spike now, how they've become the most important people in each other's worlds.
She tries hard not to be jealous, she knows she doesn't have the right; she isn't in love with either of them. She hadn't realised how much it'd hurt, losing Xander's quiet devotion, and Spike's wild heart.
They've found what she's spent her whole life looking for, and she'll protect that love, even if she has to kill every demon in Sunnydale to do it.

Hidden From View
They don't know, don't see the watching eyes; don't care about anything except each other. They are wrapped up in the love they're building, too caught up in it to notice anyone else.
They're finally starting to believe it's real, beginning to understand that they are in this together. It shows in every kiss they share, every night they spend curled up together in Xander's bed.
They're almost ready to stop hiding, to come out into the light and tell everyone that they're in love. Almost, but not quite, so the others watch and wait, knowing it'll happen soon enough.
