Healing

Part 21

When Xander woke next, it was to the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

"Mmm, that smells good."

"Want some pet?"

"Please?"

"Of course luv. Back in a jif."

Spike went out to the kitchen and poured Xander a cup of coffee. He had spent the last two hours just holding the boy and watching him sleep. He'd slipped out of bed a few minutes ago and started the coffee maker, figuring that the smell might wake him. As he walked back into the room, coffee in hand, Spike looked at his sleep tousled lover and grinned.

"You know, we really need to work on staying awake after the shagging. I mean, last night I pass out, this morning it's you. We'll never get anything accomplished if one of us is always asleep."

Xander sipped his coffee and shrugged his shoulders.

"Guess we'll have to stop having the sex then huh?"

Spike spluttered.

"Not bloody likely! I just got shagged right proper, an' I plan on having it done on a regular basis. Ta very much."

"So... Sleep not a bad thing?"

"So long as it doesn't happen before or during the shaggin' I suppose we'll manage, luv."

Xander smiled and continued to sip at his coffee. He was replaying the last 24 hours in his head, and as much as he had enjoyed being inside his lover, he kept coming back to how he got him off just by sucking his fangs. He wanted to ask him about it but wasn't sure if it was an embarrassment for him, like early ejaculation was for human guys.

Spike watched Xander sip his coffee and get lost in thought. He had no problems figuring out what had his lover so engrossed, he could smell the arousal in the air. He knew that Xander was remembering what they had done last night and this morning. The same things he'd been thinking about for the past two hours while watching the boy sleep. It was one of the reasons he wanted to wake him up. He was hard as rock.

Xander couldn't take it anymore, he had to know if Spike had enjoyed it, if he wanted him to do it again.

"Spike? I wanted to ask you about... Last night."

"Last night, luv? What about it?"

"Well, I was curious. About the licking your fangs thing?"

"Liked that part, I did. Never had someone bring me off that way before."

"So, you liked it?"

"Just said I did. Why?"

"Nothing, just thought maybe it was like premature ejaculation or something."

"Prema... What?"

"You know, when I guy cums way too soon and with hardly any stimulation."

"Oh, that. Nah, me fangs are right sensitive, they are. It was like having a blow-job done to my mouth."

"Wow. Lucky you then. Did you know that would happen?"

"No, like I said Xan, no one's ever done that to me before, never even knew it was possible."

Xander couldn't help the goofy grin he got, he'd just learned that he'd given Spike - a century old Master vampire - a new sexual experience. It was enough to make him bounce slightly in the bed. Spike took one look at him and burst out laughing. He kissed him and was just starting to push things a little further when the phone rang. Spike growled as Xander picked it up.

"You've reached Xander’s den of debauchery, how can I do you?"

"Xander? Is that you?"

"Hey Wills, what's up?"

"Um, well, CordyhadavisionandAngeliscomingandBuffyreallyneedsoursupportand canyoucometotheshoptoday?"

"Say again? And breathe please."

"Angel is coming. Cordelia had a vision and they're on their way."

"And this concerns me how?"

"Xander! Buffy needs us. Besides, if this vision is bad we need to help. Can you find Spike?"

"Yes. But I don't know that he'll help."

"Can I talk to him? Xander I know he's there."

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because I know you, and you can't hide things from me mister! So put your boyfriend on the phone!"

"Gah! Don't call him that!"

"Oh! Was I wrong? Cause It seemed like you guys were... Was I wrong?"

"No, just I don't like that word. And I doubt Spike would either."

Spike who had been listening to the entire conversation, thanks to vampire hearing, had actually shuddered at the word. He was a bit shocked that the witch had figured things out, seeing as she seemed to so preoccupied lately.

"Give me the phone pet. Hello, Red."

"Spike. Look, lets just get to the point here okay? I know about you and Xander, I don't care as long as he's happy, but I will beat you to death with a shovel if you hurt him."

"Ooookay. Anything else? What's this with the poof comin' to town?"

"Vision, hell mouth, blah blah blah."

"Right, so we all rush in to save the day then? And I should care why?"

"One word, Xander."

"Right. We'll be 'round shortly."

"Thank you, Spike."

"Yeah, yeah. Red? Keep yer gob shut about Xan an' me, got it?"

"Sooo not gonna be the one to tell Buffy! Uh uh, you guys are on your own there!"

"Thanks pet. See ya soon."

Spike hung up the phone and turned back to Xander intent on picking up where he'd left off. However, Xander had other ideas.

"I'm going to shower, we'll take my car to the shop."

"But we were in the middle of something!"

Spike pouted and Xander kissed him.

"It'll have to wait, didn't Wills say Angel was coming? He'll smell it if we do anything won't he?"

"Well yeah, but... I hate it when you're all logical pet."

When Angel and company arrived, Spike was out in the alley behind the shop having a cigarette, having been yelled at for lighting up inside. Angel stepped inside and immediately locked eyes on Xander, his nostrils flared and he strode angrily towards him.

The Scoobies and the LA crew Stood by in shock as Angel lifted Xander from his chair and shook him.

"Where. Is. Spike?"
"Chill dead boy! He's out back having a smoke."

Angel dropped Xander and headed toward the back of the shop. Before he could reach the door he found himself unable to move. Xander looked over at his best friend since childhood - her eyes black with magic - and smiled.

"Thanks Wills."

"No problem, I'll hold him while you get Spike."

Angel began snarling as Xander slipped past him and went outside. The rest of the group seemed to come out of their shock at the same time. Buffy looked from Angel - game faced and snarling - to Willow - black eyed and powerful - and frowned.

"Somebody tell me what the hell is going here!"
