A/N: Started something new against my own wishes, but I couldn't stop myself. I hope you like it. A little S/D at first, but this will quickly move into Spuffy. Let me know if you like the idea or if it's all shit. Hoping for the former.

He and Dru fought one night. It was something stupid that no one can remember and he walked out. Wasn't the first time. He'd go on some bender and be back that night or the next day, wasted and spouting off apologies, he really couldn't stay mad at her.
After two days we called the police, but they really couldn't help. We kept looking, and after a week were terrified, because no one had heard from him, and Willy said that the last time he'd seen Spike, he'd left with some group of guys he'd never seen before or after. Dru was going crazy, she already had problems, and this just made them worse.
Three months, we kept looking and asking and nothing happened, and no one could really help us.
One morning I walked out to get the paper, and I heard something off to the side of the porch. I looked over and he was sitting there, huddled into a corner. I don't think he could recognize me, and he screamed when I tried to touch him.

Buffy Summers had been a psychiatrist for a few years now, and she'd seen some horrible things. The file she was looking at now didn't seem so terrible at first. William Giles, late twenties, moving his way up in a law firm, living with his girlfriend and his cousin and her boyfriend. He'd disappeared for a few months, when he came back he was different.
His family believed he'd been kidnapped but he claimed he couldn't remember what had happened. He'd withdrawn from everyone, taken a leave of absence from work, and he'd tried to kill himself three times before they'd brought him to her.
Buffy understood the reasons for his family's reticence about bringing in William for any treatment. They were afraid he'd be sent to the mental ward, and they didn't want any of his problems now to affect his future with Wolfram and Hart.
Mental Breakdowns in L.A. weren't rare, but it didn't help to advertise them.
Buffy turned through the pages of her predecessor's notes. William had been seeing someone else before being brought to Buffy, and Buffy could see why none of this man's work had helped. There were mentions of a twisted sexual life and perverse and unhealthy relationships. She'd been interested at first, but then she'd read accounts of the "twisted" and "perverse" and decided the man was simply a prude, and obviously not up to date on the modern views of certain sexual practices.
The man was damn near old enough, she decided, to be an actual student of Freud's.
