Creatures of Habit by Tom Fassbender

Spike opened his eyes and shook his head. His whole body ached and his vision was blurry. But his ears worked fine. He could hear Buffy's sobs close by, and he could hear her whispered words.

"I don't have anyone anymore."

He pulled himself to his feet and walked over to Buffy. He looked down at her, dusted himself off, and sat down.

"Well, you might not think much of it, but you've got me. I love you." He waited for a few moments, but she didn't answer.

He moved closer, she stayed still.

He reached his hand out towards her, but stopped before they touched.

They stayed like that until she spoke.

"Spike..."

"Yes?"

"Nevermind. Its nothing."
