The moon glowed in the night sky, giving the cemetery an eerie feel. Buffy sat alone resting on a tombstone waiting for some action. The last few days had been tremendously slow and she was itching for a fight.

"Hello luv, what keeps you out tonight?" The blond vampire smirked at the slayer.

Buffy simply glared at him. She was in no mood for his small talk and was still more then angry at him for chaining her up the other night. She couldn't believe he loved her. The thought repulsed her. Even though he was asked to leave Sunnydale, she knew he wouldn't. Why? Because he's a pest like that she thought to herself.

Now she just wanted him to leave.

"Buffy, you can't still possibly be all bloody upset about the other night?" Spike proceeded to ask, her sensing she was contemplating on staking him or not.

Buffy sneered, "I suppose if I was soulless like you, things like that wouldn't bother me. And I Spike have a soul!!!! Now get out of my face!"

Spike shrugged it off and left her. What she missed was he soon returned and hid just out of her site.

Not much later, Giles came out to visit his Slayer to see how her patrolling was going. He ran into a crouching Spike and kicked him in the head.

Spike jumped up, "Now what the bloody hell was that for?"

The Ripper in Giles come forth with a growl, "Get away from here!"

"Hey I can be here if I want to, what's your bloody problem?:"

Giles was in no mood for words, and slammed his fist into Spikes face and Spike laughed, enraging Giles even more. Giles proceeded to kick the living shit out of Spike.

Laying on the ground, Spike was in absolute confusion, wondering why Giles was reacting so. Then it hit him. The bloke must love his Slayer. He just smiled at Giles wiping away some blood from his nose, and with a chuckled said, "You love Buffy! Don't you?"

Giles's eyes widen. The last person he wanted to know about his true feelings was Spike.

"You do! Don't you?" Spike kept on asking.

Giles responded by kicking him in the stomach and snapping at him, "Get out of my sight!"

Buffy had heard some fighting and to her surprise saw Giles kicking the shit out of Spike. A sight that gave her great pleasure. She has never seen such fierceness from her watcher. She was mesmerized by his fighting and determination, that she just watched. But what really surprised her was when Spike suggested that Giles loved her. It got her thinking because Giles did not deny it! He did not DENY it. She began to wonder if Giles could return the love she felt for him.

Spike finally got up a left Giles standing there. Giles just glared at him and Spike had had enough abuse for one night. Giles stood there staring at the moon.

"It's a beautiful moon, isn't it?" Buffy asked approaching him.

Giles smiled when he saw her and nodded in agreement. He studied her from head to toe and wondered if she would allow him to truly study her from head to toe.

Buffy smiled back a just looked into her watcher's eyes. She wanted to tell him she had seen the whole thing. She wanted to ask him, Do you love me? The problem was she didn't have the courage. She was afraid he might reject her.

Giles noticed Buffy just staring at him and knew she had something on her mind. He wanted to interrupt her thoughts with a kiss.

The silence grew uneasy between them, "Giles, I..."

And before she could finish her sentence, he covered her lips with kiss.

The End....
