Spike was being sneaky. He had been following Riley and Buffy the last few nights while they we on patrol. The more he followed the more confused he was by their relationship. They seemed to fight constantly. More than once he had seen Riley grab her arm or yell at her over the simplest things. From how she staked to how she dressed. More than once Spike almost left the shadows afraid Riley was going to really try and hurt her. Suddenly the bad door opened and said couple walked out of the Summers home.

"Riley, will you grab my red scarf? It's up in my room."

"Sure Buffy" Riley walked back into the house.

"Spike, You can come out now." Spike tensed and prepared himself to face Buffy. *So much for being sneaky.* Eyes closed he walked towards her vanilla shampoo sent.

"I don't know why you've been following us but please stop. It is kind of screws up my spider sense. If you want to patrol walk with us or tell me so I don't dust you on accident."

"OK"

Where did that come from? OK. Say something else bloody pillock, don't sound like and idiot! Spike was rescued when Riley can back from the house.

"What is HE doing here?" Riley asked almost accusingly.

"Spike needed to know when Dawns party was tomorrow. All the Scoobies are coming." Spike looked up shocked. *I'm a Scooby! I'm so in!*

"Yea, its starts at 7"

"I completely forgot it was tomorrow! My parents have their anniversary party tomorrow, I leave in the morning and my flight doesn't get back till the next day." Riley said remorsefully.

"I wish you had told me you were leaving." Buffy said hurt.

"Don't worry solider I will keep an eye on the Summer women while you're gone" A mocking gleam from his deep blue eyes.

"I bet" Riley glared.

"Well, see ya Spike!" Buffy pulled on Rileys hand as she headed out for patrol. "Don't forget about tomorrow! And don't forget a gift!"

"Wouldn't dream of it pet." Spike muttered as he headed back toward his crypt.

*Gift. What do you get a 15 year old not quite human girl?* Spike thought as he headed back towards his crypt.

Buffy and Riley had been walking towards the cemetery in silence.

"Why did you invite him?" Riley asks stopping.

"He and Dawn are friends and he really has been trying to fit in more. Dawn loves him like a brother he has become a very important person in her life. He is very good for her."

"I cant belive you are allowing this" Riley said harshly.

"Lets not talk about this." BUffy said trying to avoid a fight.

The next night Spike hurried around his crypt. Clothes were all over the room and wrapping paper and tape were pushed into a corner. After finishing dressing, Spike wished for the first time 120 years he owned a mirror.

*What do you need a mirror for you have no reflection bloody stupid whelp.*

Spike knocked on the door a few minutes after 7. Buffy opened the door.

"Hi Spike! Good you brought something!" Buffy started towards the kitchen giving Spike a clear view of her red leather clad bottom. As if Buffy knew what he was doing she bent over and picked up a piece of paper off the floor.

She turned back around. "Spike are you just going to stand there?"

"Uh no, no uh, OH where do you want me to put this?"

"Dinning room. Oh then can you help me in the kitchen?"

"Sure thing pet." Spike headed for the dinning to drop off his gift.

"Where is everyone?"

" Wills, Tara and Dawn are upstairs, Xan and Ahn are picking up the pizza." Buffy said opening a bag of chips to empty into a bowl. She turned around and handed him the bowl. " Hey you look hot! Don't think I have ever seen you out of black before."

Buffy turned back around to start on the second bag of chips. Spike stood in place shocked. *Hot.. she said I'm hot!*

"Wake up Spike! Will you take those to the living room?" Spike shook his head still stunned.

"Yea...OK" As he sat the bowl on the coffee table he heard Xander and Ahn knock on the door. "Hold on." Spike opened the door.

"Deadboy what an unpleasant surprise." Xander said brushing past Spike.

"Hi Spike." Ahn said following Xander.

Dawn came rushing down the stairs "Hey guys, oohhhh pizza!"

After everyone had had pizza, Dawn started her presents. She had just finished opening Xanders when the phone rang. "Spike will you grab that?" Buffy asked

"Sure love" Spike picked up the phone. "Summers house."

"Spike what are you doing there?" The voice on the other line growled.

"Peaches good to hear your voice! Slayer invited me to Nibblets birthday. What are you calling for anyway wanna talk to Slayer?"

Spike heard a sigh on the other end of the line.

"No I called to tell Dawn happy birthday."

"Nibblet phone!"

"OK I'll take it upstairs!" The Scoobies moved to the living room while Spike went to the kitchen to look for the hot chocolate mix. When he returned to the party he saw all the Scoobies dancing except for Buffy. Spike crossed the room.

*Now or never mate* "Come on Summers" Buffy looked up to Spikes pleading eyes.

"Ok Spike" She said taking his hand. Just then the music changed to a slow song. Spike was surprised when Buffy sank into his embrace. Spike wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, carefully nuzzling his nose into her hair. *I could stay here forever and be happy.*

The couples, so wrapped up in dancing, never noticed Riley walk into the room. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Riley screamed as her grabbed Buffy from Spikes arms. Surprised Buffy fell backwards into an end table knocking it over. Everyone stared in shock as Riley grabbed Buffys shoulders and started shaking her hard. "I KNEW IT YOU SICK LITTLE BITCH! HOW LONG?! HUH"

"Riley.....I Dont know what your talking ab...."

"SHUT UP YOU LYING LITTLE SLUT!" Riley pulled his hand back to hit Buffy.

"I CAME HOME EARLY FOR THIS!" Before anyone else could react Spike had switched to game face and grabbed Rileys by the wrist.

"Wouldn't do that Mate." Riley swung around, brown eyes meeting yellow. Rileys jerked his hand away and stepped back,

"You stay out of this, You've done enough!"

"Man, I don't know what your problem is but I think you need to leave." Xander said moving besides Spike.

"I'm not leaving till he is dead!"

"ITS MY PARTY AND I SAY YOU LEAVE NOW ASSHOLE!" Dawn screamed from the bottom of the stairs.

Riley looked around the room. "You're all crazy" He started towards the door, then turned and looked at Buffy who remained on the floor. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Come near the lady again and your dead. " Spikes eyes changed between yellow and blue as he struggled to remain calm.

"You gonna do it?"

"No but I know plenty of demons who would love to get there claws on a piece of solider ass."

Riley paled turned and left the house. Everyone stood silent for a few minutes. Before Buffy spoke. "Guys go ahead and finish up the presents I'm gonna take a shower. Spike I think you should stay here tonight.....Riley" Buffy stopped and covered her mouth struggling to hold back tears. "Rileys is not himself right now." With that she rushed up the stairs.

"Yes, Lets partake in the tradition of opening presents and stop this awkward moment." Anya said as she pulled dawn into the dinning room. The two remaining men looked at one anther.

"Ahn said she heard them in the training room. I thought it was just normal training. Have you seen anything?" Xander asked the blonde.

"Nothing like tonight but I have had my suspicions "

"Buffy is very insecure about men." Xander stopped and looked straight in Spike eyes. "She needs a friend right now not a......"

Just then Willow came into the room.

"Xander we're ready to go could you give Tara and I a ride?"

"Sure let me grab my coat" Xander headed for the door. "And Spike.......thanks."

With that the Scoobies left the vampire, the slayer and the key. Spike helped Dawn take all her presents upstairs. "Thanks for the book Spike, "

"Its not just any book Catcher in the Rye is written for all us freaks, "

Spike said as he put down the gifts on Dawns desk and sat down on her bed. Dawn grinned huge

"Freaks like us?"

"So do I get to join or do you have to be a member?" The two on the bed looked up and grinned.

"Buffy I don't know you may not be able to master the hand shake." Spike reached out his hand to Buffy. Buffy walked across the room and took Spike's hand. Surprised Spike pulled her down on the bed next to him and Dawn.

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Dawn said as she answered it. " Hi Angel. No everything is fine now." Dawn said as she left the room. "I'm gonna grab a drink. Want something?"

The two on the bed shock their heads.

Spike turned to Buffy. "So pet are you OK ?' Buffys answer was to put her arms around Spike and pull him close. She nuzzled her face in his chest and began to cry. Spike pulled his arms around her back and began rubbing soft circles on her back with one hand and softly stroking her wet hair. Buffy pulled back suddenly and wiped her face with the sleeve of her pajama top.

"No" She said as she pulled her sleeve away. Then She looked up into Spike's eyes. "But I think I will be. "

The End
