Feedback: I thrive on it!
Disclaimer: I don't own the boys or I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this. I'd be doing...better things.
Note: This is my FIRST slash fic. Please me easy on me.
Chapter Note: Includes the thrilling conclusion to Spike's statement. Hopefully this chapter will be longer and less omgimontheedgeofmyseatstupidwriterleftithangingihatehernow. [that make any sense to anyone?]
Author's Note: Sorry my chapters seem to be getting shorter...with school ready to start, vacations, and studying, I'm having less time for writing. Remember that more reviews equal more new chapters!

Thank you to everyone who left me reviews:

Selene: Hahaha...more is coming, dear!
Fenris Mourningstar: You'll find out what Spike is going to say soon enough. As for the Spikenapping, you'll have to wait and see what happens. Glad you enjoyed the emotion that is chapter four.
Elaine: You amuse me with each review you leave me. I'm sorry I was so evil last time. I didn't have as much time for writing, and was too lazy to write more. Hopefully this chapter will be better for everyone.
RemityGirl: Oh yes, Spike is definately fun to watch when beating himself up. Not as easy to write, though.
Alice: I know, I know, the way I left it was horrible.
Ran: Updating now!

Chapter Five - Didn't Have To

"Xander..." he began. "I..." he started to continue, but just couldn't seem to find the right words to express what he wanted to tell the brunette man. He paused a moment, opening his mouth again but closing it once more in defeat. Xander was beginning to get nervous. Since when can Spike not think of something to say? It was then that Spike decided to tell the human of his hidden feelings another time. Now he had to think of something to say now. "I...I'm going to be needing blood soon," he managed to say, hoping Xander didn't question his earlier hesitation. "Oh, yeah, of course. I'll, um, go get you some once I'm, uh, done here," Xander replied. For some reason he had a feeling that that wasn't what Spike was originally going to say, but he decided to let it go. "You know, love, you didn't have to do any of this. Didn't have to...help me," the blonde vampire began. "I wanted to," was Xander's response. "I care about you," the brunette continued, the words coming out before he could stop himself. "I mean- I- " he was interrupted. "Do you really?" Spike asked in his most innocent voice. "Yes...I-I do, Spike," he managed to say. "Very much so, in fact." He looked away, feeling a blush coming on. It wasn't like himself to be frank about his feelings the way he was being this very moment.

"Kiss me," the british vampire asked, a hint of lust revealed in his voice. Xander didn't say anything, he simply leaned foward until their lips met, and that's when Spike took over. He began to push for his tongue to gain entrance into Xander's warm mouth. The brunette allowed him entrance and they simply remained there deuling tongues for sometime. Xander could feel himself getting harder by the second. He pulled away hesitantly. "Spike..." he began explaining himself when he saw the look of hurt that crossed Spike's face. "I think maybe we shouldn't...do anything until you've healed mor...and have had some blood." Spike frowned slightly, but decided maybe he was right. "Right, then," he began, "How much longer is this going to take, cause as much as I love the idea of you sponging me down...I really want to shag you right now." Xander couldn't resist the blush that took over his face that moment. "I'd like that too Spike, believe me," the brunette stated with a knowing grin. They shared another short kiss before Xander spoke again.

"Okay, well...I think I can say I'm, uh, finished with cleaning your chest. I think I'll go get you some blood to help you gain strength. Then you can take a shower to clean the rest of your body." Xander got lost for a moment in the thought of the vampire naked under running water. But the naughty thoughts were soon interrupted. "Alright love, but can I ask you to do one more thing for me before you go anywhere?" the british blonde asked with a lustful expression. "W-What do you need?" Xander replied, knowing fully well there was nothing Spike would ask for that he could refuse. "Could you take off this sodding underwear? It's been bugging the hell out of me since you brought me here. It makes me remember why I go without it all the time," he said frankly. "Spike, if you weren't wearing underwear today you would probably be in a much worse condition," Xander said, attempting to stay completely serious. But that was a hard task for the brunette when he was just asked to take off the vampire's underwear. Spike simply rolled his eyes. "Whatever mate, just get the bloody clothing off me." Spike noticed Xander's hesitation.

"Don't be shy love, it's not like you haven't already seen me in the buff," Spike said matter-of-factly. The look of smugness Spike was known for was once again in place on the vampire's face. "Right. It's not that. It's just...I don't know it I'd be able to get myself to leave after removing the last of your clothing," Xander said humorously. Spike simply chuckled and smirked once more. Xander sighed, and gripped the waistband of the boxerbriefs. He pulled them down slowly, wanting to savor the moment. Not only because he was about to see Spike naked again, but also because he knew Spike hated having to ask for help. He then looked at Spike who was wearing on of the cockiest looks Xander had ever seen. Figures. He pulled the clothing completely off, and had to hold back a gasp as he took in the sight before him. His eyes were still fixed on the perfect body before him as he spoke. "Okay...I'm gonna...go...now," he said slowly, not making a move. Spike noticed his lack of movement, and grinned. "Go now, please Xander," he said reaching out to stroke Xander's cheek. With that, the brown eyed man finally stood. He changed his blood covered jeans in silence, knowing that Spike was watching his every move. Once fully dressed again, he looked at Spike, smiled, then walked out the door. Please be safe, Spike thought. He didn't know what he 'd do if something were to happen to the brunette man. Especially while he was helping him.

Xander drove up to the rundown part of Sunnydale, where the meat shop was. As he drove, he thought about all the things that had happened in the past 24 hours. He couldn't even believe half of it. He thought of how he tended to Spike's wounds, and how Spike told him he wanted to fuck him again. That was Xander's favorite part. Just knowing that the blonde vampire wanted him in that way was enough to get his heart rate up about three times the normal. As Xander drove up to the destination, he couldn't help but notice something was different. The area looked...empty. As if something had come through and wiped everyone out or something. The brunette proceeded to get out of his car and walk towards the seemingly abandoned shop. "Hello? Anyone here?" he asked as he entered. There was no answer. He looked around and noted that the counter had been completely cleared out. There were a few chunks of raw meat here and there, but other than that...nothing. Xander suddenly became nervous, and decided maybe he should be going. He exited the building and could hear quiet voices in the distance. There was no way he could get to his car without them seeing him, so he decided to run for it. As he ran to his car, the mystery voices came closer and were soon chasing after him. As he got into his car, he caught a glimpse of one of the mystery speakers. He recognized the face immediately. "You!" he said, stopping a moment, in shock of the situation. It was one the vampires who had taken Spike that night. The one who tortured the blonde, but Xander didn't know that part. Xander suddenly remembered where he was, and what was happening, and he quickly got into his car and drove as fast as he could back to his place, making sure he wasn't followed. He felt pathetic for not even trying to fight the vampires in question, but he was dumbly unarmed, and wanted to get back to Spike anyways. As he drove, he desprately tried to remember what the vampires had been talking about. He hadn't been able to hear the exact words, but he did catch three important words: ritual, slayer, and hellmouth.
