Watching them always made Willow wonder why
demons still came to this town. She supposed to was like mice and a mouse trap,
the metaphoric cheese that was the Hellmouth's demonic energy beacon proving
too much to resist, even with the two blonds she observed now waiting to spring
like a steel trap.
With a frown, she realized she really needed
to work on coming up with better metaphors.
Instead, however, Willow settled against the
outside wall of a nearby crypt and just watched. It was nice to get a moment
to catch her breath after leading the three soon-to-be-dusty vampires in a
chase across the cemetery towards their waiting doom, but she was also enjoying
the show. When Buffy and Spike fought, it was so much like a dance, all power
and grace, with timing so right it made the whole thing appear as if it had
been choreographed.
Even in the violence, they were beautiful,
the vampire and his mate, and it was a truly awe-inspiring thing to get the
privilege of watching them from the outside. In the moonlight, they seemed to glow,
a shimmer of pale light surrounding them both as they moved. Vampire dust began
to swirl around them as they staked one, then two, and Willow had to giggle as
she noticed the third vampire begin to realize his mistake in coming there
tonight.
"Too little, too late, and now
you're toast, fang face,"
Willow thought.
Buffy and Spike wore nearly identical grins
as they circled their prey, adrenaline soaring through them from the fight. The
vampire panicked, tried in the last second to run, but Buffy was there,
stopping him with a sharp kick that sent him flying backwards and onto Spike's
waiting stake. The eyes of the mated pair met through the dust, the tension
still coursing in their bodies also heavy in the air, and a silent promise
passed between them as their smiles grew.
Later, when we're alone…
Buffy remembered once, several months ago,
trying to sell Spike on the idea of fighting demons with her by pointing out
that with them, the mayhem and destruction could be fun. She knew now just how
right she'd been. There was nothing quite as exhilarating as a good fight
followed by a good rough and tumble with her mate. Often times, it was all they
could do to actually make it down the stairs to the apartment Giles had set up
for them in his basement. More often than not, the first round of the evening
took place somewhere other than their bed, which always seemed too far away.
If Willow hadn't been with them then, Buffy
knew they wouldn't have been making it out of the cemetery.
Remembering the redhead's presence, Buffy
turned, even as Spike moved closer to her and rested his cool, strong hand
against the small of her back, making her tremble. "Ready to call it a
night, Willow?" she asked.
Willow nodded. "Yeah. I think I've had
my fill of being bait for the night. Kinda wears you out pretty quickly, the
whole running through a cemetery with vampires nipping at your heels
thing."
"You did an especially good job of that
tonight," Spike told her. "That piercing scream of terror was quite
believable."
Willow beamed. "Was it? I've been
working on it."
"Oh yeah. I'm still trying to stop the
ringing," Spike replied.
"I wanted to be more convincingly
scared," Willow said. "It's a little hard to be these days, knowing
I'm just leading them to get their asses totally kicked by you guys."
"Well, it's very convincing,"
Buffy confirmed. "You could totally have a career as a horror movie
victim."
"Thanks," Willow said, her smile
growing. She liked feeling useful, even if it was just by screaming and flailing
her arms while she ran in mock-terror.
Willow stepped away from the crypt, and the
three of them walked out of the cemetery together. Spike always insisted on
walking Willow home first, no matter how badly he really wanted to get Buffy
alone at the moment. She may be no real prey with the two of them nearby, but
Spike knew how easily someone like Willow could become a tasty treat if she was
left on her own, and he'd be damned all over again before he let that happen.
They dropped Willow off at her house and
said their goodnights, then stepped back out into the night. Buffy walked with
Spike for a few feet down the sidewalk before she stopped, grabbed him, and
kissed him hard. Spike groaned into her mouth, everything seeming to blur
around him except for the taste of her lips and the desire he felt for her
body.
Suddenly, Buffy pulled away, a mischievous
smile on her lips. "Race you home," she said before she took off at a
run, her laughter trailing behind her.
Grinning, Spike gave chase.

Yes, that is the end. Before anyone asks, I
don't currently have any plans for a sequel. If something came to my mind that
I really wanted to write, maybe, but as it is, I don't see that happening. I
have so many other fic ideas and a pretty full schedule, so there's not really
a lot of time for sequels. But do know that they live a long, long time
together, and even with the trials they find themselves facing, they find a way
to overcome it all together.
Thank you so much to everyone who stuck with
this story, supporting and enjoying it through to the end, even when things got
dark. I promised you a happily ever after, and here it is, after months of
angst and times when it didn't look like our couple was going to make it
through. I really do appreciate everyone's kind words and support throughout
the fic, and I hope that I was able to entertain each and every one of you.
Thanks for reading!
