Part 10
Part 10:
It was a hot Saturday, of course, this was California after all. Spike turned the car air conditioner on and closed his eyes in boredom at the annoying traffic. The red light was on for a bloody long time, and there were a billion cars ahead of his. He was very eager to return home and tell his father that he found an apartment at last. It took him five days to find the perfect apartment. Even though some might find him lucky to find an apartment that he liked in such a short period of time, to Spike they felt like five long years. He did nothing in these days but look around for an apartment with a decent space and a reasonable rent.
The whole crazy search for an apartment bit was because of a comment Xander made six days ago. That Spike would always be dependent on his father's money and was never going to be a real bloke. Spike realized that he had only spent a week at his father's, but Xander's comment burned inside him making him feel like the weak William again. That was when he decided to find an apartment as fast as possible. Rupert had reassured him many times that he could stay at the house for as long as he pleased but Spike couldn't accept that offer. He had to stand on his own two feet, he had to be independent. He had to let Xander shut the hell up!
Xander started to get on his nerves lately. Ever since Spike came back home the younger boy didn't waste any opportunity to make him feel like the scum on the earth. He could never forget the day he accompanied Xander to his school. The way Xander introduced him to his little redhead friend, how he kept rambling about how Spike screwed up when he was in high school. And that Jesse, he kept looming over him, being tall certainty had its advantages.
Spike was very glad that he reunited with Tara again. He went to her apartment twice, and invited her to his house once so far. They went to the movies together, he took her bowling and such. So basically he spent all week with the company of Tara.
It was funny when Mrs. Rosenberg thought that Tara was his girlfriend. His father had to explain to her that William was into the same sex. Spike thought of million reactions to Mrs. Rosenberg once she realized the truth, unexpectedly the woman just nodded sadly muttering something sounded like "Why is it always the good looking ones?"
Spike never thought that he would enjoy Tara's company that much. They weren't that close in the past. She was just Oz's girlfriend, sweet, shy and that was it. She was still the same girl he knew four years ago, probably more fun, unless she used to be this fun but he never bothered to know her.
The traffic light turned green after what seemed like a long wait. Spike heaved a relieved sigh and waited until the cars in front of him started moving. Sadly, it turned red before Spike crossed.

"That's wonderful!" Rupert exclaimed happily. He was in the kitchen fixing lunch when Spike told him the great news.
The young man sat tiredly, swabbing the sweat off his forehead. "Yeah, it looks really good and the rent was practical given its location and size."
"You know I can …"
"No Rupes," Spike cut him off with a wave of his hand, looking at his father seriously. "The point from all of this is for me to be a man. I'm twenty two … I can take care of myself."
Rupert nodded understanding even when worry was still in his eyes. "But you don't have a job yet."
"I'll swing by the press on Monday." He grew frustrated at the heat. "God it's hot all day! Makes a bloke want to kill himself. I've been sweating none stop since I left the building."
"Well this is Sunnydale. It's always hot, especially this time of year." He looked at his son who was soaking in sweat. "Why don't you take a shower? Lunch is almost done, it'll be ready when you finish."
"Alright then," he said standing up and taking his jacket with him. Before he left the kitchen he heard his father calling, "Oh and tell Xander to come and take a shower himself!"
"Where is he?"
"He's in the back yard watering the garden."
Spike walked to the back door with a groan. He didn't want to get out in the sun. He peeked outside looking for Xander but couldn't see him. The rays of the sun were irritated his skin. He took a few steps forwards and then spotted Xander's back behind one of the big trees. He was about to call the boy, until Xander's body moved a little making the view of his chest more visible.
Spike stood speechless at the sight of topless Xander watering the plants. The boy was wearing white sweats and nothing but a towel thrown over his neck. Now under the sun rays Xander was the vision. The work of muscles on that tanned body, the sweat slowly going down that hard chest were all enough for Spike to stand speechless under the formerly annoying sun.
As Xander moved to hose some of his father's roses, Spike snapped out of it. He drew back quickly, and yelled, "Xander! Lunch is gonna be ready in a few!"
"Okay!" the boy yelled back.
Spike ran to his room, locked the door behind him and just stood there catching his breath and looking down at the tent in his pants.

Sunday Morning:
The J: what do ya think?
X-man: LMFAO
The J: I know ^^
X-man: look at these crumples *shakes head* this butt looks as bad as the last season of Star Trek
The J: *snort* don't compare that crap to this perfection!
X-man: the problem is Captain Archer, he's missing something the other captains had
The J: right, btw what are you doing today?
X-man: *huffs* Captain P's apartment we're supposed to leave now
The J: he's moving out finally?
X-man: Yep so glad
"Xander, c'mon, don't you get tired of using the PC!"
X-man: speaking of the devil …
Xander turned around to find Spike peeking from his half opened door. The blond smiled and went inside walking towards Xander. "What are you doing?"
Xander turned to the screen with a grimace. "None of your business."
Spike stood behind Xander and peered at the screen over Xander's shoulder. He rolled his eyes when he found 'Captain P' mentioned and not in a good way. He knew they were talking about him because of 'speaking of the devil' comment and Captain P which was Xander's Captain Peroxide. He was also not ignoring the fact that Xander kept talking shit about him with 'The J'. Bloody hell, what were these kids calling themselves! What happened to 'Shagged a Whore on Tuesday' and 'Have Some Joint'? These were the names!
Spike was lost in his mental mockery to notice how his cheek was feeling Xander's soft hair. It was all happening instinctively, like it was meant to happen. Spike aware of himself now, was not able to move away, not able to stop it. He closed his eyes and buried his nose on the soft locks. He breathed the scent of shampoo and something that was Xander. It smelt nice, warm and …
"Spike? Are you sniffing my hair?"
Spike jerked back alarmed. The sun light hurt his eyes from suddenly opening them up again. It felt like they were closed for hours. His finally adjusted blue eyes stared blanched at the amused brown ones.
"I … wasn't," Spike stuttered. "I was looking for lice," he finished quickly.
"Uh huh." Xander didn't look like he believed him.
"You have a mop of hair," Spike explained lamely.
Still looking at Spike in amusement, Xander nodded at the door. "Why don't you go ahead? I'll say goodbye to Jess and shut down the PC then I'll follow."
"Right," Spike replied frankly. His cheeks were extremely red as he stumbled outside the room.
Xander stared at him quietly while he got out. Once the door was closed, the boy immediately started pressing on the keyboards.
X-man: Jess guess what?
The J: what?
X-man: CP has the hots for me!
The J: say what?
X-man: He was sniffing my hair
The J: say what?
X-man: His eyes were closed and he had that stupid dreamy expression
The J: say what?
X-man: I should have seen this coming, I mean it was so clear from the beginning!
X-man: Ooooh that's gonna be fun *evil laugh*
The J: ….
X-man: Jess?
The J: …
X-man: Jesse?
The J: …
X-man: what's wrong man?
The J: your bro has the hots for you?! *vomit*
