Part 47
Harris couldn’t keep himself from smiling as he was pulled down beside his lover on the couch. “Thanks for making me do this, babe,” he whispered quietly, rubbing his cheek against Spike’s shoulder.
The vampire chuckled and turned a bit, cupping his beloved’s cheek and pressing a slow, thorough kiss to his lips. “Didn’t want ta spend th’ rest of our trip with you bein’ all pouty an’ mopey, did I? Besides, luv, think you needed ta get some things off your chest. Seemed best ta get it out of th’ way, right?”
“Yeah, yeah… and once again, the vampire was right. Happy now, babe?” Harris said with a grin. “Oh, and speaking of our trip, remind me to buy a lot of postcards for my neighbor. She’ll worry if she doesn’t hear from me every once in a while.”
“Consider it done, luv. No worryin’ your Mrs. J.” He kissed his claimed again, throwing in a soft purr.
Willow grinned from her chair, glad they’d left the library. The blue salon was much more comfortable, not to mention being more homey. “I… wow. You guys look so…”
“Good together,” Buffy agreed with a sigh.
“I was gonna say hot, but good together works too,” the witch grinned even wider. She knew there’d be a good long time of trying to make things up to her friend, but for the moment they were okay. Not great, but at least Xander hadn’t walked out the way she’d been afraid he would. And a large part of that was Spike. He seemed to have some sort of a soothing effect on Xan.
Buffy laughed. “I still can’t believe you were gay all this time, Xan. I mean… you’ve been with women. I know I remember that, right? And you, Spike…? Never would have figured…”
Spike snorted. “Not gay, pet. Just… what we are, yeah?” It felt strange to be sitting here fondling his beloved in front of the woman he’d once thought he’d loved. Stranger still that he couldn’t find any resentment within himself for the way she’d treated him back in the day.
“Yeah,” Harris said with a grin, one hand rubbing up and down Spike’s toned thigh. “Who said we were gay, anyway?”
“Well, I… you had a date with Robert! Got all ‘might be all night’ and stuff…”
Spike cocked a brow at his human. “Did you now, luv… an’ do I need ta add young Bobby ta my kill list?”
The brunette laughed, the corner of his eye crinkling. “Nah… didn’t even get around to kissing him. A certain sexy vampire distracted me completely before I got the chance.”
“Right, then,” the vampire in question smirked, “Because I’m not plannin’ ta share you with any other blokes. A chit or two maybe, but no blokes. Got it, luv?”
“Same to you, babe.” Harris nodded happily.
“We’ve got us a deal, pet.” Spike smirked.
“Wait… so wait. You’re not gay. Either of you.” The Slayer looked a little confused. “But you… I mean, you guys… with each other, right?”
Willow rolled her eyes. “Um, Buffy. I don’t think that’s really any of our…”
“Oh, come on, Will! They’re claimed and stuff, right? And Xan told you they were lovers, so… so they must be doing it. I’m just wondering how that fits in with their whole ‘we’re not gay’ platform is all.”
Harris sighed and chuckled softly. “Okay, Buff. I’m only gonna say this once. Yes, we’re together. Yes, we have sex. A LOT of sex if you really want to know. And yes, I’ve had sex with other men. BUT! I still like women. Want them sometimes. Probably always will. So does that make me gay? Bi?” He shrugged. “Whatever. It’s more about personality and attraction than gender. I just… decided a while ago that it was stupid to pass on what could be a good relationship just because of the plumbing that happened to be attached to someone, okay?”
“Very well said, luv,” Spike murmured, leaning closer to inhale his beloved’s scent. “You see, Buffy? We’re not gay. Just havin’ us a bloody brilliant relationship.”
The Slayer sighed again, this time at the obvious happiness of the two men. “This is SO not fair. Why can’t I find someone who loves me like that?” She pouted a little, although her tone was teasing.
“You will, Buffy,” Willow said comfortingly. “You just need to be open to it. You know how you get all protect-o gal with the not wanting anyone in danger because they’re with you. So you kind of keep people at arm’s length.”
Harris nodded, remembering that very trait from Sunnydale and the short period of time after when he’d traveled with the girls. “Willow’s right, Buff. Just… when you get home, try taking a night off every once in a while. Go out. Enjoy being a beautiful woman in the prime of her life. If you let yourself shine, you’ll have more guys panting after you than a dog has fleas. Uh, not that you’re a dog or anything. You’re a… cat. Yeah. A great big sexy cat-woman… not that you’re big because you’re not. You’re small, but still bigger than a cat, thus the cat-WOMAN part, and okay, I’m shutting up now…”
Spike and Willow exchanged one swift glance then dissolved into laughter.
“Bloody… hell, luv… didn’t know that whole… foot… would fit in your… mouth…”
“Gods, Buffy… if you could see your face…” Willow finally managed to say through the giggles.
Giles turned away from the door, trying valiantly not to laugh until he reached the library. He needed to update the Watcher’s Chronicles on William the Bloody, after all, and he couldn’t do that if the girls, Xander and Spike decided to kill him for eavesdropping. Still, it had been necessary. At least now he knew that the children—and he included Spike in that category for some odd reason—the children would be all right.
It was all he could have asked.
