002 [Accidental Visual | Location: Castle Summers] If my heart could beat it would break my chest.

Spike and Buffy are standing together, looking awkward.

"Sorry," Spike says. "I mean... I won't do it again or anything."

Buffy looks pained. "Don't," she answers, too quickly. "Don't apologize. It's my fault." And now, because she doesn't know what to do, other than run away, that's more or less what she intends to do. "I should... I should go."

"Buffy, wait." Spike touches her shoulder. He's not sure exactly what he's going to say, but he needs to make her understand. He opens his mouth, the music rises, and he starts to sing.

"Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.

Only girl for me is you,
There can be no other one,
If I didn't have faith,
I would come undone.

So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me.
"


He drops her arm, turning away.

"Maybe you do.
Maybe you don't.
Maybe you should,
Probably wont.
"


He turns back towards her.

"Because there will be... "


He grabs her arm and pulls her to the barn at a dance-run. When he gets there he climbs a little up the stair and turns to her.

"There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear.
Say they'll take away you sadness
And your fears.

They may be kind and true.
They may be good for you,
But they'll never care for you
More than I do….
"


He jumps off the staircase and circles her, grabbing her hands and meeting her eyes.

"I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend.

To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other till the end
Of time...
"


He drops her hands and dances around the barn for a while, doing flips off haystacks and swinging around the rafters and stuff. Finally he lands and the music slows. He pulls her close until their faces are almost touching.

"Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me,
But I know it's still there
Even when you sleep.
"


He steps back, hands lingering for a moment before he drops them. He turns to walk out of the barn.

"So I say, good night sweet girl."


The music finally stops as he leaves the barn and he realizes that he just confessed his feelings to Buffy in song again. He groans and sinks to the ground against the barn. "Balls."

[ooc: Spike is singing Good Night Sweet Girl by Ghost of the Robot. That happens to be James Marsters' band, so it's actually Spike singing in that file. Enjoy that. Also, trolling responses can be answered by Spike or Buffy. If you want one in particular, specify so that we'll know.]

[ —way to go, angel. try to help and make things worse. ]

My point is, this isn't your fault, Spike. You shouldn't have had to look for things like that in the first place.

And for the record, this is weird.

If it's any consolation, she probably thinks we're yelling behind this lock.

Never thought I'd agree with something like that, but...at least it's not me. Which is good, because I'm pretty sure Cordy would stake me in my sleep in retaliation.
