Don’t worry; I’m not splitting Xander and Spike up in this fic.
Siren of the Darknessflame-
Sorry but this won’t become a X/A fic.

Spike as being a semi-hard ass in front of others but really sweet and loving
to those he loves.

his fingers through his short, curly hair.
Suddenly, the 5’11 vampire slid out of bed and crept into the next room
and brought back a small, enamel box that fit in the palm of his hand with some
kind of flower on the lid. He sat back
down on the bed and opened the box.

to help you overcome obstacles and calm your fears of an enemy and the Onyx is
for protection. My father gave me the
ring when I turned eighteen. It just
makes me feel better knowing that there is something to help protect you when I
can’t.” He closed the box and placed it
on the bedside table. Knowing that Spike
cared about him enough to give him his father’s ring made him feel all warm
inside. Spike ran his thumb over the
engraving on the top of the ring before pressing a kiss to his palm.
Spike leaned over and pulled an oval brooch and a heavy ring from the
box. He fingered the ring before giving

Spike
obediently went and shut the light off and closed the door before pouncing on
top of the bed and Xander. His slender
hand intertwined with Xander’s. “Promise
me that when the time comes, you won’t do anything stupid.”
“I
promise.” Xander whispered before
leaning up and capturing the blonde’s lips in a passionate, yet soft, kiss.
The couple
lay in bed for nearly an hour just kissing, their hands pressed as tightly
together as their bodies were. A rock
hard erection was pressed against Xander’s hip, slowly rocking back and forth
as Spike ground against his boyfriend wrenching the most delightful gasps and
sighs from the young man. Right now,
Spike wanted nothing more than to pound him into the mattress and make him
scream but he pushed it all aside, reminded himself that the kids were in the
next room. He needed to figure out a way
to get them out of the house either the next day or the day after so he and
Xander could have some alone time before he sent Xander and the children
off. His blue eyes darted to the digital
clock on the bedside table. “We should
get some sleep.” He murmured against the
soips ips beneath him. He laughed at Xander’s
sound of protest when he pulled away.
Not five
minutes later, Spike and Xander fell asleep with Spike’s head on Xander’s
chest.
*~*~*~
The next
morning saw Spike and Xander in the kitchen with Xander complaining about the
state in which Spike left him last night.
Spike found the whole situation amusing and watched as Xander became
ever more flustered before closing the distance between them and kissing
him. A pair of pale, thin arms wrapped
around Xander’s neck, pulling him closer.
“I love you.”
Xander
pulled back, his brown eyes wide with shock.
“I mean, you said it before but you were ranting.
“I’d never
lie to you about that, pet.” He smiled
and soon found himself seated on the countertop next to the sink.
“I love
you, too.” Xander grinned and resumed
kissing him fiercely. A feeling of being
complete and at peace settled over him whenever the vampire had his arms around
him.
“Eew!”
Xander
pulled away from Spike, giving him room to hop off the counter.

Spike swept the half asleep girl up in his arms and plopped her in front
of the counter. “What would you like for
breakfast?” Xander asked.
“Ice
cream?” She asked hopefully, throwing in
a pout just for good measure.
“No ice
cream for breakfast, Ariel.” Spike said,
his voice as stern as it could be. “I
invented that pout.”
“She picked
up your pout in four days. Stop
corrupting her!” Xander scolded while
waving Spike’s mug before placing it in the microwave.
Ariel gave
her father and Spike a curious look.
“Why were you kissing daddy? Boys
don’t kiss. That’s what my old mommy and
daddy said. They said it was
disgusting.”

of the cabinet, ignoring what the girl was telling them that her parents had

him a quick peck on the lips before turning on the television and drinking his
breakfast.

the radio and water. As Xander was
rinsing his mouth, a very wet and very naked Spike stepped out of the shower
and padded over to where Xander was to pick up the towel he had placed by the
sink earlier, purposely leaning against twenty-two year old who was combing his
hair. Glancing to his right, Xander
noticed that his boyfriend was taking his time wrapping the fluffy, blue towel
around his hips giving Xander quite an eyeful, not that he hadn’t seen Spike
naked before, though. Brown eyes roamed

“Change,

squeaked, his voice far too high. He
quickly stripped out of his clothes as soon as Spike closed the bathroom door
behind him and jumped into a very cold shower.
Spike was
sitting with Ariel and
watching a movie when he realised that Xander had been in the shower way too
long. He listened and noted that the
water in the shower was still running but he was wondering why it was still
running. The water had been running for
nearly forty-five minutes, he noted.
