Pairing: Spike/Xander
Summary: Spike’s girlfriend kicked him out, again.
Xander opened the door and leaned against the frame, “Spike,” he said with a sleepy sigh, “Don’t tell me she kicked you out again?”
Spike leaned in close as if he was going to whisper but instead shouted, “She’s a right bitch.”
Xander took a step back and scrunched up his nose, “okay, first, don’t call Buffy a bitch and second…Jesus, Spike, you smell like a brewer.”
Spike swayed a bit and shrugged his shoulders, “been drinking all night, haven’t I,” he said as he pushed past his best friend and walked purposely to the couch in the living room, “so, you going to let me crash on your sofa.”
Xander closed the door and sighed, “Sure…it’s not like you aren’t always here.”
Spike took of his boots and duster as he nodded his head repeatedly, “yep, only place I’m bloody welcome, Xan.”
Xander snorted, “Isn’t that the truth,” he said then pointed to the hallway closet, “you know where the sheets are…I’m going to bed,” he said as he made his way to his room, calling out a sleepy goodnight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Xander stared at the coffee machine longingly as it slowly made his favorite drug of choice. He held his mug in both hands and wished for the slowly filling pot to fill faster. It was morning like this, he wished he had Willow’s magic, so he could snap his fingers and have his hot yummy goodness right away.
Spike pushed past him just when there was enough for a single cup and poured it into a mug, “bloody hate waiting for it to fill all the way to the top.”
He started at Spike as if he just drained his first child, “hey, that’s my cup of coffee.” He said as he grabbed the mug from Spike’s grubby hands.
“Oi, whelp, I bloody need that.”
Xander raised a brow and licked the rim of the mug all the way around, “oh, you mean this cup,” he said as he licked the rim again, “here go ahead… take it.”
Spike chuckled, “you think a vamp like me cares about human saliva.”
They both chuckled and for a moment they stared into each others eyes. Xander could swear his heart beat a bit faster for a second but shook it off as a result from the caffeine.
“You off to work,” Spike said with a higher then usually voice, “I’m guessing from the suit and tie.” He finished off with a slight shrug as he moved his empty mug from one hand to the other.
Xander nodded his head, “yep, we humans must work for the luxury of housing blonde homeless vamps.” They both chuckled as Xan picked up his briefcase and finished the last bit of coffee. Just before he left he turned and gave Spike a sad smile, “you want to talk about Buffy when I get back?”
Spike shook his head, “nah, nothing to talk about, really.” Xander nodded his head slowly, “yeah, well, if you do…I’ll listen.”
Spike gave him an almost shy smile, “I know,” he said and Xander could hear the certainty in Spike’s voice. His smile grew brighter; it had taken a long time for Spike to trust him and the realization that he now had it fully made him want to do the snoopy dance.

Pairing: Spike/Xander
Summary: Xander has an epiphany at work.
Xander got to work and wasn’t surprised that he had two messages on his desk from Buffy waiting for him.
He picked up the phone and called her cell, wishing he wasn’t the one who always had to do this, “Hey, Buff,” he said with false cheer.
“Xander,” Buffy said with a slight sob, “did he come to your place last night?”
Xander leaned his hand under his chin and looked out the window at the construction sight, “yeah, Buff, he’s at my place right now.”
He heard a relieved sigh just before she sobbed out their latest fight, “I said some pretty bad things last night, Xan…I said something I really shouldn’t have… he went off… I called him an asshole and he called me a bitch…and, and…”
Xander quickly interrupted her loud sobs, “Buffy, you know he isn’t like regular guys…when he gets pissed off, his demon comes out and well, it’s not pretty.” “I know that,” she snapped, “but damn it, all we do is fight.”
Xander nodded his head slowly, he had heard this all before…Every month he heard the same thing. And every month he told Buffy the same thing…Buffy, he’s a demon and gets pissed off like a demon…Buffy, he’s not the type that will be nice and cuddly all the time…Buffy, maybe you two are wrong for each other.
“Xan, I don’t… I don’t think we’re getting back together…he was the one who said it wasn’t working, this time.”
Xander’s eyebrow rose to the hairline…whoa, this changed everything…. Buffy was the one that always said it was over. Spike had never said that to her before.
“I don’t think he wants to be with me anymore, Xander…I think it’s really over,” she sobbed.
Xander’s heart began to beat a mile a minute…Jesus, Spike had broken up with Buffy…Spike was the one that broke it off…Buffy and Spike weren’t together anymore…Spike was…. single! Wait…why did her care about if Spike was single or not?
“Do you think I should call him?” Buffy asked
Xander bit his bottom lip as he thought about it, “you know, Buff, if I were you, I’d give it a few days…let it all cool down, see how he feels about it then.”
She agreed and after a few more minutes of reassuring her with false hope, he got off the phone and stared into space.
Xander knew Spike and once Spike said it was done…it was done!
So that could only mean one thing…Spike and Buffy were really over!
Xander began to breathe heavily…
Jesus, why was Xander acting this way…why was his best friend breaking up with his girlfriend affecting him like this….?
what the hell was wrong with his heart?! Why was it beating so fast…?
Was he…did he…Was Xander in love with Spike!!
“Oh holy mother of batman!” Xander said out loud.
