I'll Stand By YouBy:Salice 
 

/Oh, why you look so sad/
/The tears are in your eyes/
/Come on and come to me now/

Willow looked up from the her laptop, and flinched at the cruel remarks, her friends were saying to Spike. *Would it hurt, for them to be nice, or just stop the remarks. * she thought to herself. It had been like this ever since Thanksgiving, and he was chained in the bathroom. Now, it was near the end of winter, he wasn't chained, and the gang were waiting for some reason to stake him, just so they wouldn't have to look at him. Well, everyone except Willow.

/And don't be ashamed to cry/
/Let me see you through/
/'Cause I've seen the dark side too/

Willow now watched as Spike got up, and stormed out the house. Looking around the room, she knew she couldn't be here anymore. She loved her friend, but they were acting plain mean.

"I don't feel so good, I'm going home." She got up, and left before anyone could question her.

/When the night falls on you/
/You don't know what to do/
/Nothing you confess/
/Could make me love you less/

Walking through the park, she couldn't believe she hang around with Buffy and them. Cordy wasn't even this cruel. And that was saying something, thinking back to all the times she was cruel to Willow in grade and high school. She suddenly looked around, scolding herself. She could have been bitten anytime, and she wasn't even prepared. As she looked around she saw Spike. *Sigh*

/I'll stand by you/
/I'll stand by you/
/Won't let nobody hurt you/
/I'll stand by you/

Spike couldn't stand them. Well, almost all of them. Willow he liked, she was nice to him, got him his blood, talked to him... the rest of the bloody scooby gang were just a bunch if assholes. Always taunting him that he couldn't bite anymore. It wasn't like he asked for this, some fucking stupid soldiers put the chip in his head. He looked up, as he sensed a human getting nearer. Willow was in the park.

/So, if you're mad, get mad/
/Don't hold it all inside/
/Come on and talk to me now/

"Red?" Spike asked.

"Hey Spike." Willow sighed.

"What are you doing out, with no slayer to protect you?"

"Spike, can you think of the last time Buffy ever walked me home?" Willow countered.

"Point taken, luv." Spike smirked. "Want me to walk you home?" Willow smiled.

"That'd be nice." She nodded.

/And hey/
/What you got to hide/
/I get angry too/
/Well, I'm a lot like you/

The two walked in silence to her apartment. The two stealing glances at each other, when the other wasn't looking. Willow glanced at him as Spike glanced at her. The two looked away quickly, at the sidewalk in front of them.

/When you're standing at the crossroads/
/And don't know which path to choose/
/Let me come along/
/'Cause even if you're wrong/

They reached the apartment, and Willow took our her key.

"Want to... uh... come inside?" She asked nervously.

"Sure, luv." He said, looking through his pockets for a smoke. Willow unlocked the door, and the two headed inside.

/I'll stand by you/
/I'll stand by you/
/Won't let nobody hurt you/

"Nice place, Red." Spike said, looking around at the apartment. It had very rich colors, and leather couches.

"I try." She smiled. Spike looked at her, and smiled.

"Much better than the Slayers." He commented.

"One, when did you ever see Buffy's room. And two, duh." She smirked.
"I meant the dorm, luv. You should remember that night." He said, practically leering at her. Willow blushed deep red, from the way he was looking at her. Willow turned and walked into the kitchen, and Spike followed.

"So, don't I get the tour, Red?" He whispered in her ear. Willow turned to him.

"Sure. Well, you saw the living room, this is the kitchen..." She walked through the apartment, and Spike followed.

/I'll stand by you/
/Take me in into your darkest hour/
/And I'll never desert you/
/I'll stand by you/

"And finally, here's the bedroom." Spike walked in, before Willow could take him back to the living room.

"You live here alone?" He asked, turning to her.

"Yep." She answered.

"How did you pay for this? I don't think you have a job."

"Oh, how little you know about me." She countered.

"I'd like to find out." He said, smiling seductively. Willow blushed, and turned away.

"Very funny Spike."

"Who says I was being funny?" by this time, he had walked up behind her, and was whispering to her. Willow turned around, her face was practically touching his. Her breathing was labored.

/And when, when the night falls on you, baby/
/You're feeling all alone/
/You won't be on your own/

Willow opened her mouth to reply, and Spike crashed his lips against hers. Willow moaned into his mouth. She couldn't believe the sensations she was feeling. When he was near her, she would feel warm and tingly all over, now she felt like she was on fire. Spikes hands went to her waist, and rested there. His tongue swept through her mouth. Spike backed her up, till they met the bed. Spike stopped kissing her, and Willow stood in a bit of shock

/I'll stand by you/
/I'll stand by you/
/Won't let nobody hurt you/

Spike looked at her.

"You tired?" he asked.

"A bit, why?" He leaned forward and kissed her softly. He laid her down the on the bed, taking off his shoes and shirt, he laid got on the bed. Grabbing a blanket at the end of the bed, and laid it over them. Willow closed her eyes, and turned on her side, facing him. He smiled at her, and closed his eyes. Soon, the two were asleep.

/I'll stand by you/
/Take me in into your darkest hour/
/And I'll never desert you/
/I'll stand by you/

The End.
