Buffy could
almost convince herself they were about to watch a normal movie. Spike had been
incredibly nonchalant about the whole thing, even popping popcorn before
leading her up to his bedroom.
That illusion
started to slip when she realized the only place to sit in his room was on his
bed – and faded away completely as soon as he popped in the DVD.
Cheesy music started
playing immediately, and Buffy couldn’t look at the screen. Instead, she sat
stiff-backed at the edge of the bed, her cheeks
flaming as she intently studied Spike’s carpet.
“Come on up here,
pet,” Spike said from where he was lounging against the pillows at the top of
the bed, popcorn bowl resting in his lap.
Buffy turned
towards him, watching as he popped a piece of popcorn in his mouth and winked
at her. How could he be so calm about
this?
Spike patted the
pillow beside him. “Come on, Summers. Show a little
backbone.”
Immediately, she
was moving up towards the pillows, and Spike smirked to himself at how easy she
was to manipulate.
Buffy tried to
settle back against the pillows, though she couldn’t fight the stiffness in her
muscles. She looked at the television, deciding the opening scene was innocuous
enough. It was just a guy in a hospital bed, and he wasn’t even naked.
A few moments
later, a blonde woman with disproportionately large breasts walked into the
room. She wore an overly-tight nurses uniform, the
zipper pulled down far enough to show off the top of her bulging chest. Her
blonde, teased hair was topped by a white hat and she strutted across the room
in white, strappy platform heels. She carried a
clipboard, angled just right to accentuate
her breasts even further, and approached the “patient” while sucking on the tip
of a pen.
She ran her
tongue along the pen before she lowered it and said in a breathy voice, “I see
here on your chart you have some uncontrollable swelling in the…area.”
Buffy tried to
bite back her laugh, but she couldn’t.
Spike grinned at
her. “Told you it would be amusing,” he said before chomping on a handful of
popcorn.
“This is what
these movies are like? Seriously?”
“The
ones with a plot, yeah.”
“This is a plot?”
“Compared
to the ones that just open with naked people going at it like crazed weasels,
yeah, there’s a plot.”
Buffy scooted
closer to Spike and grabbed some popcorn for herself. She snorted as the nurse
continued to ask about “the area” and asked the patient if he had “massaged it
to reduce the swelling.”
“If people are
watching this just for sex,” she said with a mouthful of popcorn before
swallowing, “then why even bother with this ridiculous
attempt at dialogue?”
Spike shrugged.
“I guess it’s supposed to set the mood or something.”
“And there’s no
question what that mood is,” Buffy said with a roll of her eyes. “God, just look at those horrible shoes. Can you imagine if
a nurse tried to wear them to work? She’d fall on her ass trying to make it to
a code.”
“Nah. She’d probably just stand there, sucking on her pen
and trying to figure out where that beeping was coming from – and if it meant
someone needed an ‘area’ massage.”
“See, that’s
another thing. I mean, I assume they’re going to start doing it at some point
in this movie. If they’re gonna show sex anyway, why not just say ‘penis?’”
“They think
they’re being coy.”
Buffy snorted.
“They’re delusional then.”
The oh-so-helpful
nurse batted her eyelashes at her patient as she offered her own massage services
in hopes that they would alleviate his pressing problem. The patient, of course, agreed, and the nurse
lifted the sheet and pushed up his flimsy hospital robe to reveal his penis.
Buffy shifted uncomfortably at the movie’s first bit of genuine nudity, but
when the cheesy music from the beginning started again, she started laughing,
too.
Spike grinned to
himself at the success of both of his brilliant plans – Buffy was as amused as
he’d hoped she’d be, and the bowl of popcorn covered up what he didn’t want her
to notice. Sure, the movie was horrible and way beyond corny, but he was still
watching porn with Buffy – and his body was more than aware of that.
The movie started
heating up, the nurse moving from a simple “massage” to a blowjob. Spike expected
Buffy to blush and turn away again, but instead, she continued to stare at the
screen with rapt fascination. “Have you ever done that before?” Spike asked
softly, hoping he wouldn’t spook her again.
Buffy shook her
head, though her eyes didn’t leave the television. “I was always scared to, but
she makes it look so easy. She’s not gagging at all.”
“Well, she is a
professional.”
“I don’t think I
could do that.”
“Well, we’ll work
on that.”
Buffy turned
sharply towards Spike. “I am not sucking your…”
Spike held up his
hand. “Never said you were, Summers. We decided to do
this with no touching, remember.”
“Right, I just
thought you meant…” Buffy trailed off and blushed yet again. “Sorry.”
“It’s all right.
It was a logical conclusion.”
Buffy nodded
silently. It was the logical
conclusion, but since that wasn’t what he meant… She had to wonder how exactly
Spike was planning on teaching her how to give a blowjob.
And why was she actually a little disappointed that
he hadn’t meant he wanted her to practice on the real thing?
She decided to
blame the movie. It was putting funny notions in her head. Still, she turned
back to the screen, frowning at what she saw. “Wait…I think it missed
something. Rewind it.”
“Rewind it?”
Spike asked with an arched eyebrow. “Are you worried you missed an important
plot point? They’re fucking.”
“Yeah, but she’s
jacking off two other guys while she’s riding the patient. Where did they come
from?”
Spike shrugged.
“I was watching it the whole time, and I
don’t know.”
“Oh.” Buffy frowned.
“That’s weird. I mean, if I were having sex with
someone and then two other guys just walked up and stuck their penises at me,
I’d be pissed off.”
“Well, yeah, but pornos are based in an alternate reality where everyone’s a
rabid nympho,” Spike explained with another handful
of popcorn.
“Oh. Yeah, I
guess that makes sense.” The scene faded into another with a poorly-done
transition effect, and Buffy tilted her head to the side as she tried to figure
out exactly how the woman had managed to twist herself into the position she
was now in. “Okay, that looks painful. I didn’t know people could bend that
way.”
“Again,
professional,” Spike said.
“Right.”
Buffy’s attention
was captured by the television again as she wondered if being a contortionist
was a prerequisite for starring in porn. The woman had both of her legs
parallel with her head, which Buffy just didn’t think could possibly be
natural.
A knock on the
door caused her to jump and let out a squeak. She turned to Spike, wide-eyed,
but he just shrugged. “Probably my uncle.”
Sure enough,
Spike’s uncle’s voice came through the door a moment later. “William?”
“I’m home, Uncle
Wes,” Spike called back. “Just watching porn with the
neighbor girl.”
Buffy turned the
reddest she had yet her mortification reaching new heights. How was she ever
going to be able to look Spike’s uncle in the face again? And wasn’t he going
to be angry now? Would he tell her mom?
Oh god, she was going to be grounded. For the rest of her life…
“Oh. Um,
that’s…nice,” Wesley replied, keeping the door firmly shut. “Well, I’ll just
be…downstairs. If you need anything.”
“Okay, Uncle.”
Buffy listened
carefully until she heard Wesley go back down the stairs. She turned to Spike
then and smacked him on the arm. “What is wrong
with you? He’s going to tell my mom, and then I’ll be dead!”
Spike rolled his
eyes. “No he’s not. We’re both eighteen. Wes doesn’t care we’re watching porn.”
“Oh.” Buffy was
silent for a moment before she smacked him again. “But it’s still
embarrassing!”
“Nah. It’s just natural curiosity. Besides, he spends all
his time over at his boyfriend’s house. I haven’t seen him in days.”
“His
boyfriend?” Buffy asked. “Your
uncle’s gay? I thought he was dating that lawyer woman, whatever her name was.”
“He ditched her, thank
god,” Spike said. “And I guess he found himself or something, because now he’s
with Frank or Fred or something like that. I’ve never met the guy, but Wes has
talked about him some, and it seems pretty serious.” He shrugged. “I don’t
really care as long as he doesn’t bother me too much. I got into a lot of
trouble back in England in my early teens, which is why he moved us here. For the first couple
years we were here, he was constantly on my back, wanting to know what I was
doing all the time. I guess I kind of brought it on myself, but I’m still glad
he’s backed off now.”
Buffy had always
wondered how Spike had come to live in the States with his uncle. Their
previous status as mortal enemies hadn’t really given them a lot of chances to
have deep talks.
“What kind of
trouble were you in in England?” Buffy asked. “You were only like, fifteen, when
you came here.”
Spike picked up
the remote and turned off the television. “It’s getting late, Buffy. Don’t you
have a test to study for?”
So apparently
they could talk about sex for days, but Spike’s personal history was completely
off limits. Buffy didn’t quite know why that bothered her so much either, but
her feelings were hurt nonetheless. She’d thought they were having a pretty
good time that afternoon, despite all the uncomfortable subject matter, and now
he was just throwing her out?
Suddenly, she
remembered why she disliked him so much.
“You know,
Spike,” she said as she got off the bed and snatched her bookbag
off his floor. “A simple ‘I don’t wanna talk about
it’ would’ve sufficed. You don’t have to be such an asshole.”
“Me? You’re the
one who was prying into my personal business.”
“Says the man who
has every detail of my very embarrassing sex life!”
“That’s
different. You were willing to be open with me on that one.”
“And I thought
maybe you were with me, too, but apparently, I was wrong.” Buffy stopped and
shook her head. “God, what am I even doing here? This is insane. I’m insane.”
As she started
towards the door, Spike realized he’d let his temper get the best of him and
made a potentially-fatal misstep. He got off the bed quickly and ran to
intercept Buffy before she could leave his room. “Buffy, I’m sorry. I didn’t
mean to get defensive there, I just…” Spike sighed. He didn’t want to reveal
much more, but he’d put himself in a situation where he knew his best shot of
keeping her where he wanted her was to prey on her sympathy.
“Look, it’s just
there was this girl involved, and she really broke my heart. I still have a
hard time talking about it.”
Buffy’s face
immediately soften, and Spike breathed an internal sigh of relief. He still had her…
“I’m sorry. I
shouldn’t have freaked out on you like that. This is just all really difficult
for me. I mean, it’s embarrassing, really, and I feel so vulnerable with you
now, and then you wouldn’t open up, too.” She looked down shyly. “I keep being
afraid that you’re going to suddenly turn around and use all of this against me
or something.”
Spike supposed
she wasn’t completely off-base there, though he didn’t intend to use this
against her the way she suspected. He’d never use anything they’d done or
discussed to publicly humiliate her the way Angel had. To get her upside down,
naked, and screaming his name, sure, but never to humiliate her.
“It’s all right.
I guess it’s sort of a difficult situation for both of us. Not exactly the sort
of relationship they write handbooks for,” Spike replied with a shrug, his
hands shoved in his pockets.
Buffy looked up
and smiled at him, noting with some surprise how absolutely adorable he looked
at the moment. She didn’t quite know what possessed her, but she leaned up and
lightly kissed his closed mouth.
When she moved
away, Spike was staring at her in shock. “What was that for?”
“Just to say
thanks,” Buffy replied with a nervous shrug, not really sure what it had been
for herself. “You know, for helping me out here and not being as much of an
asshole as I know you’re capable of being. Hell, sometimes I think you might
almost like me.”
“I do,” Spike
said, the answer coming out a little too quickly for either of them to be
comfortable with it. He cleared his throat. “You know, in a neighborly sort of
way.”
“Right. I knew
what you meant.” An uncomfortable beat of silence past between them before
Buffy pointed towards the door. “I really should go. I’ve got that test to
study for and all.”
“Yeah. I guess
you probably should. I’ll walk you out.”
“Thanks,” Buffy
replied, her hand wrapping tightly around the arm of her bag as she let Spike
lead her out of the bedroom. They passed Wesley on the way towards the door,
and Buffy’s face flamed again.
“Hello, Buffy,”
he said with a nod, his face making it clear he was just as uncomfortable with
the situation as she was.
“Hi, Mr. Wyndam-Pryce,” she replied, wishing the floor would swallow
her whole.
Wesley cleared
his throat. “So… Are you and William dating, or…?”
Spike glanced at
Buffy before he gave a quick answer, hoping she’d find him chivalrous. Chivalry
would score him points he could later trade in for getting laid, right? “We
were just working on a project together for school. The whole porn thing was
just me being a wanker, trying to rile Buffy up.”
Wesley sighed in
relief. “Oh, good.” He looked quickly at Buffy. “Not that I don’t like you,
Buffy. You’re a lovely girl, and I’m sure William would be very lucky to have
you.”
“I’m sure Buffy
knew what you meant, Uncle,” Spike said when Buffy continued to stare at the
floor, redfaced. “I’m going to take her home now, and
then I’ll be back.”
“All right. Have
a good evening, Buffy.”
“You, too,” Buffy
said with the best smile she could muster before continuing out of the house
with Spike.
“Thank you for
that,” she said once they were outside and walking across the lawn to her door.
Spike shrugged.
“No problem.”
They both stopped
on her front porch, and Buffy turned to look at him. “So tomorrow…we do what we
did today? Pretend to date at school and then, uh…”
“Private lessons
afterwards?” Spike filled in for her, unable to keep back his teasing leer.
“Right. That.”
“Yeah.” Spike
looked down at her and felt his heart constrict in his chest. He knew he needed
to get out of there before he did something stupid like kiss her.
Really kiss her…
He cleared his
throat. “So I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
“Yeah, tomorrow.”
God, her lips looked delicious… Spike shook his head, called out a quick good bye,
and sprinted off the porch.
Buffy moved just
as quickly to get back into her own house.
It was quiet and
empty when she got inside, but that wasn’t unusual. Her mother worked a lot of
late nights, and had started taking buying trips with increased frequency.
Buffy supposed it was good since it meant business was good, but she got lonely
sometimes.
She went upstairs
to her room and dropped her bookbag on her bed. She
unzipped it and went for her history book in order to start her studying,
though another object in the bag caught her eye.
A ruler.
She slowly slid
it out of the bag, her hand trembling as she wrapped it around the last three
inches to cover them, giving herself a visual representation of what exactly
constituted “nine inches.”
Her eyes bulged
and she tossed the ruler back on the bed as if it had suddenly started to burn
her hand.
Buffy had a sinking suspicion she was already in over
her head…
