Till the End


Xander looked back from the front seat at everyone who had piled into Buffy’s jeep. Willow, Buffy, Dawn, Giles and Faith had insisted on driving to LA. Xander knew it was because they weren’t ready to let him go alone yet.

“Take a right Spike.”

“It’s a bloody left Slayer.”

“I think you’re supposed to go straight.” Willow added carefully.

“It’s a left.” Faith grumbled shoving half of a cheeseburger into her mouth. She offered the rest to Xander.

“Thanks.” Xander said reaching past the cheeseburger to her pack of cigarettes. “Yummy.” Xander smiled to himself, taking a long drag.

“Gimme that.” Spike ordered.

“No. I smoke Spike. You smoke.”

“I’m immortal.”

“Yeah well… you cant discriminate against me on account of my humany…ness.”

“That’ll show him Xand.” Buffy grinned at him.

“We’re here!” Willow squealed and jumped out of the car.

“Time to see peaches.” Spike whined opening Xander’s car door for him. The others were already inside.

“Where’s tall dark and dreary?” The blond vampire asked the small girl sitting behind the desk.

“He’s downstairs.” She drawled. Spike led Xander down a flight of stairs.

“Sire.”

“Spike. Xander it’s good to see you.” Angel hugged the mortal.

“Hey deadboy.”

“I missed you.” Spike let out a growl that only Angel could hear. The elder returned it with a smile.

“Me too. You know no one can brood quite like you.”

Angel shrugged. “I’ve had practice.”

“So Sire now that the hug and share is over what kind of information do you have for us?”

“Down to business then.”

“Yeah.”

“Ok well, Xander I have news that may or may not be good and Spike I’ve got something for you that is definitely good.”

“Me first!” Xander squeaked.

“Big one first then. Xander because you guys have formed a mystical connection you’re tied to Spike. If he hadn’t gotten his soul on his own he would have been returned when you fed on him. He had it already so we’ll just go to the next chapter. Your bodies, minds and souls are bound now…”

“What happens when I die?”

“That’s the thing… Xander you wont…until…until he does.” Xander watched Spike’s jaw drop.

“He’s immortal?”

“Not in the strictest sense of the word. You’re his lifeline. He won’t age but when you die he’ll pretty much…go poof.”

“Ok…well…wow…huh…”

“You ok pet?”

“…Xander?”

“I’m here…and not going anywhere by the looks of it.”

“Now Spike, what you get out of all of this is a piece of your humanity back.”

“Bloody priceless.”

“No. When I translated the text it says you get the sun.”

“Like sunlight?”

“I get be out in the soddin’ sun!” Spike’s face held a smile bigger then Xander had ever seen.

“That’s what it says.”

“Xander! I get to see the sun! Bloody hell!” Spike hugged his boyfriend.

“There is a downside to all of this.” Angel interjected.

“What?”

“You’ll feel each other. Not only physically but mentally. Xander that’s how Spike knew that you were…in trouble. It’s only going to get stronger now that the connection is complete. Every pain you feel Spike will feel. Every feeling..”

“So like if I’m …pissed, he’ll know?”

“Yes and in time he’ll even know why.”

“Crazy magic hubaloo.”

“Is that it?” Spike asked crossing his arms.

“I think that that about covers it.”

“I’m gonna go tell the gang.” Xander waved at the vampires and walked up the steps.

“This is a big commitment for you William.”

“I’m a big boy sire.”

“Do you love him?”

Spike lowered his head. “I do. I didn’t think that I could…”

“You never did lose the ability William. Xander is a good man.”

“Xander is my heart Sire.”

“He’s your reasonability now. If you…Spike if you ever abandon him or if the powers feel that you aren’t doing your job they’ll take this gift away.” Spike’s head jerked towards the other vampire.

“Why didn’t you…”

“I didn’t think that he should know.”

“Doesn’t matter. I’d die for him.”

“I see that son.” Spike stomped his cigarette out on the floor and hopped halfway up the steps.

“Sire?”

“Yes William?”

“If you ever look at him again the way you did tonight, I’ll put a stake through your heart.” Angel nodded.

“Go to him.”

“I’m going to live for a very long time.” Xander mused as he crawled in bed next to Spike’s cold body.

“Yes luv, you are.”

“Cool.” Xander began lightly kissing Spikes neck.

“Luv…” Spike’s finger’s tangled into the human’s hair. “Xan…”

“I want you Spike.” His hand grasped the vampire’s hardening cock. “I want to taste you.”

“No pet, I have plans for..”

“Shut up Spike.” Xander roughly pinned the blonde’s wrists above his head. He was rewarded with a visceral growl. Xander began pumping his hand faster.

“Jesus Xan…” Spike shoved the boy’s head downwards. His hips began bucking wildly when he felt hot lips circle his cool flesh. “So hot pet…”

“Xander get Spike’s dick out of your mouth. We have work to do.” Both men sprang out of bed to find Faith leaning in their door frame, grinning. Xander lowered his lips to Spike’s ear.

“Spike?”

“Yes pet?”

“We have to go slay.” Spike tried to tackle Xander onto the bed. Xander ducked leaving a giggling Spike on the floor.

“I’m going to kill you both.” Spike laughed as Xander walked to the door, pulling on his clothes. They looked at the vampire. “I’m serious.” He chuckled.

Xander looked to Faith. “He is serious.” A look of humored distress befell both of their faces before they took off down the hall, followed by a half dressed vampire.

Buffy watched as the two youngsters tore down the stairs into the lobby. They were laughing hysterically.

“Fuck! Xan, behind B quick!” Faith giggled, tumbling into the elder Slayer.

“What did you guys…Spike where are the rest of your clothes?” Buffy said looking at the other bleach blond. He wore only unbuttoned jeans.

“Sod off.” His eyes shot to his sire who had stifled a laugh. “’S not funny.”

“It really really was.” Faith smiled at him.

“She’s right.” Xander assured his almost-lover. Xander stepped closer to Spike then he needed to be and zipped his pants.

“Oh!…She…and you were…got it.” Buffy slapped her self in the forehead. “That would have been great.” She tried to frown at Faith. “You could have waited.”

Faith put her hands into the air and shook her head. “Hey, who am I to know if it’s an urgent call to slay?”

“Ok well if your all done, we do have a to save the world.” Angel grumbled.

“What’s wrong Sire?” Spike whispered. He was answered with a growl. Spike chuckled and wrapped his arms around Xander’s waist. “Right then, what needs to be dealt a nasty death?”

“Vampire nest. It’s run of the mill I know, but we might as well do some good in this town.”

“Bloody stupid they are, congregating like one big present for the Slayers.” Spike shook his head in disgust.

“Right so Xander you go with Faith. Spike you take Dawn. Giles your with me and Wills you can tag along with Angel. We’ll do a sweep and meet in the middle. Ok?”

“The boy goes with me.” Spike ordered.

“No Spike he’s out of practice he needs a Slayer at his side. If you recall we are stronger then vamps. That’s why we kill them.” Buffy stepped closer to him.

“Spike, it’s fine. Faith and I will get to relive our glory days.” Faith elbowed him. “Ouch! I didn’t mean that.”

“Let’s head out.” Buffy turned on a heel and walked out of the door, followed by groups of two.

When they had all broken up Buffy found Spike. “Dawn will you go check and see if Giles has found anything?”

“Sure thing.”

“Spike I did all this for a reason.”

“You always have some kind of a ‘reason’ blondie.”

“Willow did a… locator spell on Jake.” Spike growled.

“and?”

“It seems like he’s headed here. We both know what we have to do. We also know Xander wont let us and Faith cant be a part of it. She knows that about herself. If he gets used to patrolling with her…”

“We can slip away to our bloody rendezvous and no one will be the wiser.”

“Exactly.” Spike patted her on the back.

“Good plan Slayer.”

“Was that a compliment?”

“No!” Spike yelled defensively. “Is there really a nest?”

“No. This area is clean. It’s to close to Angel’s. I just wanted to see how Faith and Xan worked together.”

“We have a party!” They heard Xander yell from a few hundred yards down

“No vamps huh Slayer?”

“Oh what are you bitching about? He’s immortal.” Buffy whined and took off in Xander’s direction. There were three vamps. Xander was trading blows with one and Faith was dancing with the others. She soon beheaded one with a piece of wire. Spike watched proudly as Xander gained the upper hand in the fight. Xander reached into his coat pocket and promptly dispelled the stake hidden there into is attackers heart. He then turned around and tossed it to Faith who delivered a similar fate to her assailant.

“I’ve still got it.” Xander said, brushing off his shoulder.

“Hell yeah ya do! I wanna go another round!” Faith roughly swept her girlfriend into a kiss. “I’m hungry.” Faith’s voice was husky.

“We could stop some… Oh! Well everyone good slay we gotta go.” Buffy and Faith soon disappeared.

“Can he go home Spike. That fight really wore me out.” Xander began to sway back and forth.

“I knew you weren’t strong enough yet luv.”

“Well look on the bright side, it’s not going to kill me.” Xander smiled before passing out.

“Bloody hell.” Spike looked to Angel.

“Let me help you.” Angel took Xander’s other arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. The two vampire’s carried the boy home without trouble.
