Chapter 1
Buffy Summers woke up and quickly got out of bed. She made her way over to the closet and changed her clothes. Buffy gazed into the mirror, feeling pleased with her appearance. She then ran downstairs and into the kitchen, passing her mother and heading to the back door.
“Bye, Mom! I’ll be back later!”
Joyce Summers stopped her daughter before she could leave the house. “Where are you going?”
Buffy turned around to answer her. “It’s Saturday morning, I’m going next door.”
Joyce rolled her eyes. “Buffy, you know he doesn’t like to be woken up this early.”
A big smile formed on the young blonde's face. “That’s the whole point.” She kissed her mother’s cheek, then opened the door and ran out of the house.
Joyce just shook her head and went back to making breakfast.

Buffy made her way to the house next door and glanced up at his bedroom window. She grinned and started to climb the tree that was outside the window. She got to the top and pushed the windowpane open. It was never locked, after all. Buffy jumped inside and looked around the dark room.
“Will, are you here?” She searched every inch of the room and couldn’t find him anywhere, suddenly feeling frustrated. “Where are you hiding, loser?” She was about to make her way back out the window, when a pair of strong arms grabbed her around the waist. She squealed and turned around, slapping his chest lightly. “You scared me half to death!”
He only graced her with his trademark smirk. “That’s what you get for trying to sneak in here to wake me. I made sure to get up earlier,” he said and released his hold on her after a moment.
Buffy pouted. “That was really mean.”
He shrugged and pressed a quick kiss to her pouty lips, never able to resist. “I never said I was a nice bloke,” he replied, plopping back down on his unmade bed.
Buffy rolled her eyes and got to the real reason of why she was there. “We need to talk about the Prom, Spike. I think you’ve avoided the subject long enough. You need to hurry up and rent a tux because I’m so not going with you wearing your duster.”
Spike groaned and buried his head in the pillow, knowing that she meant business when she used his nickname. He removed the pillow and glanced up at her. “Do we really have to go to this bloody thing? You know I don’t care for school activities, especially not dances.”
She wasn’t about to let it go and joined him on the bed. “Yes, we have to go. This is a Prom and they tend to be important to me.”
“I get that, but it’s only the Junior Prom. I’ll make a big deal for it when we’re seniors.”
Buffy glared at him. “You see this look on my face, Spike? This is my resolve face and you know what that means. I am going to this Prom and you’re the boyfriend, which means that you’re going with me.” She grinned wickedly when she thought of her secret weapon. “But if you’re not interested, I could always ask Riley. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind taking me.”
Spike instantly shot up. “You are not going with Finn. I’ll bloody kill him if he goes anywhere near you. It took you months to finally dump the bloke and realize you had feelings for me. We’re going together and that’s final.”
She smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek. “Okay, if you insist.”
He growled and threw himself back down on the bed. “Bloody hell, I hate when you do that to me. You can’t always play the Finn card, Summers. It’s just not bloody fair.”
Buffy rested her head against his chest. “I’m sorry, William. I know how much you hate dances, but it really means a lot to me.”
Spike sighed and wrapped his arms around her. “Then we’ll go and make a good memory of it. I love you, Buffy. I want you to experience everything that you can. I know how important this is to you. I’m just being a wanker.”
Buffy raised her head to look at him. “I love you, too,” she replied and touched her lips to his.
Spike returned the kiss, slipping his tongue into her mouth.
Buffy pulled away when breathing became an issue. “I should go before…” She was cut off when the door opened. “Your dad walks in,” she finished.
“Hello, Buffy. I didn’t realize you were here already. Breakfast is prepared, William. You’re welcome to stay as well,” he said the last part to Buffy, then left the room.
“That’s okay, Giles! My mom made pancakes!” she yelled after his retreating back, then turned her gaze on Spike. “It’s really weird that he doesn’t mind me being in your room. My mom doesn’t even care. She would freak if I had any other guy in my room.”
He grabbed her tighter. “You better not have.”
She rolled her eyes. “Of course not, I’m just surprised that our parents don’t care.”
“They do care, love. It’s just us, so there’s nothing for them to worry about. We’ve been sleeping in the same bed since the first grade.”
Buffy nodded. “I know that, but we’re not little kids anymore. We could have been in here having sex for a year now and they wouldn’t have even noticed.”
Spike laughed and shook his head. “We haven’t even been dating for a year yet, but I don’t mind you thinking about having sex with me back then,” he told her with a wink.
She blushed. “I didn’t mean anything by it. You know I’m not ready for that.”
He nodded in understanding. “I know you’re not, Buffy. I wouldn’t want to rush anything with you. I’m fine taking things slow.”
Buffy sighed in relief. That was the main reason of why things didn’t work out between her and Riley. He couldn’t handle the fact that she wouldn’t sleep with him. She was a virgin and wanted her first time to be special. She didn’t see that with Riley, but she knew that Spike was going to be her first. Her only if she had anything to say about it. She practically grew up with him and there was no one that she trusted more. Buffy still couldn’t believe how things have changed between them, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
