would you be willing to write a spike x reader fic where he has a crush on one of buffyās friends? buffy has been noticing the way spike watches her, and how he tries to get closer to her, or makes terrible attempts at flirting. buffy is concerned because she doesnāt want her friend to get hurt. this is entirely self indulgent but could the reader be somewhat of a āweird girlā a lover of horror movies, oddityās, shy⦠(very lisa swallows coded)
Thank you for this request, I want to be writing more content for Spike so I really enjoyed this. Sorry it took so long to post! <3
Maybe heās worth the risk
Pairing: Spike x character
Series: Buffy the vampire slayer
Warnings: Vampires kidnapping girls, tying them up. Kissing. Maybe swearing.
"So- we're just going to the graveyard to look for this vampire..." I asked as me and buffy walked ahead of the group. Willow, Giles, Xander and Spike were trailing behind us. "Mmh" she hummed looking directly ahead of us, her eyes were scanning for any sort od danger. "And then what?" I raised an eyebrow at her. "We kill him" she answered, her response was short but that's all I needed to hear.
"Why are we going looking for this vampire though?" I wondered, the graveyard was in sight now. It wouldn't be long now, just at the end of this road. "Because he's evil" two hards came from behind me and began tickling me. I tried to hold in my squeal but I couldn't. "Shush!" Buffy hissed widening her eyes.
The culprit slinked next to me smirking, liking the fact he was told off. I shook my head smiling to myself. "Why is he evil?" I asked Spike, presuming he would be more talkative than Buffy at the moment. "He's killed eleven girls since arriving in town- I knew him back in the day, never really got on though" he explained to me. I looked across to Buffy to get her opinion. But she was just staring daggers at Spike.
"What's his name?", Spike laughed to himself making me turn back to him. "Why are you so curious?" "You will never understand how interesting your world is to a human" I told him, my eyes told him that I meant very word of that sentence.
"Only you y/n- would be fascinated by a world of danger and death" Buffy replied, she stopped walking and stared straight as the entrance sign. Her hand entered her jacket and she pulled out a wooden stake. "That's one of the things that makes you so you" Spike added in, he didn't stop walking, he had too big of an ego for that, he was too confident for that. I liked that.
I followed him in and Buffy came when she was ready, the other three had caught up with us now. "Are we splitting up?" Willow whispered looking to buffy for an answer. Her eyes flicked to me and then to Spike. "Yeah- Spike, you're with me" she neutrally ordered, but he didn't move. "You don't need me slayer- I'll go with y/n" His arm wrapped round my waist and he gently led me deeper into the graveyard without anyone saying anything else.
"So- are you saying I need your help?" I raised my eyebrows at him, we were close, he still had a hand on my back. "No- I just didn't wanna go with blondie- shed just lecture me about something the whole time" he rolled his eyes, his and Buffys relationship had always been odd. Spike was only here because he knew where to find this vampire.
"But- also you are human, and I would hate if anything happened to you because id let you go with another human". I believed what he was saying as me and Spike had a different type of relationship to him and Buffy. We actually liked each other, we were actually friends. We joked a lot and I flirted with him a lot too I was good at flirting, I always had been, I knew how to play it off well.
"Thank you- for looking out for me" I beamed up at him "If i'm around y/n you will always be safe- I would rather let the world burn than see you hurt". My heart pounded against my chest and as usual, I found myself picturing me and Spike together, as a couple. I knew it wasn't realistic, he'd never shown any sort of romantic interest in me, he'd always just been really friendly.
I opened my mouth to speak but Spike covered my mouth and pulled me into his body. He placed me against a tree and held me tight against him. His finger on his right hand was on his mouth telling me to be quiet. I looked at him with dread, what was coming. Behind the tree I saw a group of maybe ten vampires walking towards a crypt, some were carrying dead bodies, some were carrying live bodies. I watched in horror knowing that if we didn't stop them, those girls would all be dead very soon.
I felt anger bubbling up inside of me and I tried to pull away from Spike to end this myself. But he was a lot stronger than me. His other hand came to my waist and he shook his head. "Theres too many" He whispered, "we need to find the others". I gritted my teeth as the last three walked into the crypt and closed the door behind them. I didn't rush off now, Spike was right, we couldn't fight all of them. I can't be rash in these situations.
"How can they just torcher girls down there" I asked him as my eyes filled up with tears from anger. "They're vampires Y/N... I-" "Don't- You're nothing like them" I shook my head and pushed off of the tree walking in the opposite direction. "Y/N- we will get them okay- we will save all the girls and kill Henreak and his men okay" "I know we will" I nodded playing round with the stake in my hand.
"Then why are you so worked up?" "because we still have to actually do it Spike" I told him, bitting my lip. "Why are you so fascinated by the supernatural?" he asked trading behind me as I looked for Buffy. "I dunno- I guess I always have been, I don't get scared of things I get intrigued- or in this case angry". Spike didn't say anything back for a moment and I didn't like it. "Why?".
"I want an insight on why you're so unique" he replied, my heart fluttered in my chest. But before I could say anything back to him I heard grunting a few rows down. "That's Buffy" I gasped running towards the sounds. "Y/N" Spike called after me in a worried tone. When I found her and Giles, I realised that she wasn't fighting a vampire from the crypt, for a woman slammed Buffy into a headstone.
Her stake flew out of her hand as she fell to the ground. Giles ran to the vampire with a stake but she picked him up by the neck. In the next second the stake from my hand was ripped out and Spike rushed past me, his long black coat flowing behind him. He grabbed the vampire by the neck as she held Giles in the air. He gurgled as she cut off his breathing. Spike used the stake he'd snatched and dove in straight into her heart before she could even realise we had arrived.
He did that so I didn't have to. She screamed as her body decayed and turned to dust, Giles fell straight to the count and grunted. "Thanks" he looked up at Spike, the blonde vampire put his hand out and pulled Giles up. Buffy joined them too. I still stood a little away, until Spike turned to look at me. Buffy followed his eye line and noticed me standing there. "Y/n? what's wrong?" She called out making her way towards me.
"We need to find the others" I answered, looking around for them in the dark. "We found Henreak- him and his friends have captured some girls they've taken them into the crypt" Spike explained, giving everyone a little more context about what we had been through. "We need to save them- now- which crypt was it?" Buffy burst out with wide eyes, she became fidgety.
"No we need to find the others- there's like ten one them, id rather a six to ten odd than a four to ten" Spike shrugged his shoulders, but his tone was very playful. and Buffy didn't like that. "Do you really think I care about what you like Spike?" she jerked her head backwards. "If id been with you I would have opened the door for you and let you fight ten on one, but its not about you- hell its not even about me".
Spikes eyes wondered over to me, and Buffy followed them. "Are you joking me!" she shouted taking a step back from the vampire. "W-what?" I stuttered looking at them very confused. "Can we talk about this later" Spike hissed walking towards Buffy. "Oh we will- I'll kill them myself" Buffy told him before snatching my stake off of Spike. She stormed past us all walking off speedily into the dark. "Buffy wait!" I called out running after her. "Y/N!" Spike yelled.
"Stay with Giles y/n" she told me not turning around. "I'll show you where it is Buffy- come on" I told her speed walking past her. "Y/n- you might get hurt- I mean..." "Buffy- let's save those girls" I replied shaking my head. "Okay" she nodded with a flicker of a smile. And with that we raced towards to the Crypt, I knew Spike and Giles wouldn't be far behind us.
"That one..." I pointed, Buffy looked straight at it. She kicked the door off its hinges, it flew down the steps. The vampires all looked up, me and Buffy stood fearlessly. "They aren't killing them" she whispered to me as we stared down into the crypt. "They're turning them" I swallowed, feeling a drop of sweat roll down my forehead. All the girls were tied up, some of them had vampire faces on them.
Everyone was in very little clothing. My blood boiled and I took the first step down. The vampires all ran towards me and Buffy, before I knew it I had been thrown to the ground. I push up off the floor as quickly as I could hitting a vampire with my fist on the way up. One came at me from the front, I swung my leg up kicking him hard in the chest. He fell backwards leaving his chest open, and I shook a wooden stake down from my sleeve and plunged it into his heart.
"Y/n! that's Henreak" Buffy called out, I spun round seeing one of the vampires trying to leave the crypt. As he got to the top I saw spikes body appear in the door frame. My heart fluttered knowing he was finally here. Spike kicked his leg up, knocking Henreak back down to the floor. "You were just going to run? Again? While your people fought and die to save your life- people you have forced here?" Spike yelled, his face scrunched up with so much emotion. This wasn't just someone he knew, this was someone he knew.
"You always find someway to bring it back up" the man rolled his eyes as he stood back up. Everyone had stopped fighting now, everyone watched as the two men stood face to face, staring. "And you always find more dumbasses to do it for you" Spike looked around the room, his eyes lingered on me for a second longer than everyone else. "Why don't you guys show him who the real dumbasses are" Henreak turned around to his vampire friends.
They came from behind me and Buffy and grabbed both of our arms, pulling them into their bodies. "Never turn your back in a fight- it's 101" Henreak sarcastically boasted, giving us fake looked of empathy. He was rotten. And so I decided I was getting out, and he was dying. "Not so confident now are you Spikey" he chuckled turning back round. It was true, I saw the look of sheer terror in his eyes as he looked straight at me.
"You won't hurt her- you know I'll kill you" "Her?" Henreak raised an eyebrow "Ah- there's a special one, which one is it Spikey?" the man giggled enjoying this situation way too much. "Its her isn't it" he pointed at me but didn't look. I watched as he nodded his almost bald head. "Ive seen the way you look at her" Henreak put his hands together and smiled. "See I know because if I do this-" his left hand went out and the vampires holding Buffy began coming towards her neck with their fangs. Spikes eyes flicked up to check on Buffy.
But the hand went down, they stopped. "But if I do this" his right hand flew out and they did the same to me. Spikes whole body jolted froward when he saw that happen to me. His eyes filled with anger he jumped down the stairs trying to reach Henreak and threw a punch. I reached my hand just high enough to reach my necklace. I snapped it off and cut the vampires wrist with the knife side.
Once my arm was free I turned around and slammed the pointy other side made of wood into the heart of the second vampire. I then blocked a punch from the one bleeding and pushed his arm up, leaving enough room for me to stab his heart. Buffy had flipped over the shoulders of the vampires, as they turned she double staked them. Giles, Willow and Xander all suddenly appear from the dark outside and the teens race down the stairs to join the fight. Giles used his steak gun to eliminate them from at the top.
They were soon all dead, and spike had Henreak pinned against the floor, a steak to his chest. But he hadn't killed him yet. "Ironically- you should be the one who kills me" Henreak distracted, Spike sat over his torso. He frowned at the man "I told you I would if you hurt her" he whispered back before plunging the stake into the mans heart. He turned to dust and spike dropped to the floor.
Buffy began untying the girls, even the ones that had turned. She warned them all that if they did any evil she would be after them too. Spike stood up and I walked over to him, "Are you okay?" I asked him standing very close to his body and looking up at him. "Yeah- im glad he's finally wiped off this planet" he whispered reaching out to rub my arm. "Are you hurt?" "No" I shook my head folding into his body for a hug. "I was worried, but I should have know you can handle yourself" He chuckled hugging me tightly back.
"Spike- outside now" Buffy ordered walking past us and up the stairs. He rolled his eyes and eventually a few seconds later he pulled away and went to find Buffy. "You need to leave her alone" Buffy stated before he even reached her, the girls back was turned but she knew he was there. "W-what?" he slimmed his eyes waiting for her to turn around. She did. "I said you need to leave her alone, Y/N is not going to be corrupted by you" Buffy stated pointing at the vampire.
"I mean what can you really offer her Spike- you'll just hurt her- you know im right". Spikes heart cracked in his chest as he listened to Buffy's insults. "You can't fight with us anymore either- your feelings have compromised our plan, you can't fight with someone you're in love with it jeopardises things" She explained to him folding her arms tightly across her chest. "This isn't for you to decide" Spike snapped at her.
"Spike- i'm not going to let you hurt my friend" She told him shuffling to the other foot now. "I- wouldn't hurt her" "You would- just by being with her, there's targets on her because of you- you're dangerous" She hissed at him shaking her head. Spikes eyes fell to the floor. "Go" She told him stepping to the side. "I don't want to see you anywhere near her again- or I will kill you Spike". He inhaled a deep breath before nodding his head.
"I can't just stop Buffy- i'm in love with her" he told her with a flicker of eye contact, before he began to walk off in the opposite direction. A few moments later I left the crypt, seeing Buffy over near the tree me and Spike were behind. "Buffy? where's Spike?" I questioned walking slowly towards her while looking around for him. "I sent him home- he won't be around much anymore" she told me with a smile.
"What?" I raised my eyebrow shaking my head a few times. "Y/n- everyone says it- the way Spike looks at you, flirts with you- I won't watch you get hurt by him" "Buffy" I gasped frowning. "That is not for you to decide!" I desperately burst out. "If- Spike likes me back then I need to talk to him...". "I don't think that's a good idea Y/n- im concerned hell hurt you he is dangerous" Buffy warned me, her eyes wide with fear dancing in her pupils.
"Buffy- i'm always safe with Spike, he would lay down his life to ensure I was safe you know that" I put my face into my hands, really trying to contain my stress for the situation. "He's dangerous though- it's too risky" "Well maybe he's worth the risk to me Buffy, you can't just decide for me that not how love works". Buffy sighed crossing her arms loosely at her chest. "Fine- he went that way, if you really think you want him and trust him- then go find him, he'll be more than happy to hear what you have to say".
My eyes followed where Buffy was pointing. I didn't move for a second, but after thinking it through I ran straight past Buffy, after Spike. Because he was worth the risk to me. It took me about ten minutes to catch up with him. I saw his blonde hair in the distance, he was sat on a grave swinging his legs. "Spike" I called out, he looked up at me but it was a sad look now.
"You should go back to your friends y/n" he told me, I rolled my eyes and began running towards him. I didn't stop when I reached him, I grabbed his face and pulled it towards mine in motion of a kiss. Spike was shocked at the beginning but he sank into it. He pulled me closer into his body and held me by the face. Id never had a kiss like it. When we pulled away he stroke my hair down with his hand. "Tell me- what you said to Buffy" I desperately blinked putting my hands on his neck.
"I told her I was in love with you... I wasn't lying" he breathed out, my heart skipped a beat. "I love you too Spike- I want you, Buffy can't decide that for me- she can't decide for us" I desperately told him, my eyes filled with tears. "She's looking out for you y/n- she's sorta right... I am dangerous" "Not to me- I only feel a sense of safety when i'm around you" "but.." "Spike stop- ignore Buffy's words- that's not what I believe- this isn't about her".
He thought about it for a while, before nodding and smiling at me. "Okay" he whispered stroking my long hair again. "You're right, this is about us- who cares what Buffy thinks" he agreed with me, laying a kiss on my forehead. "You're worth the risk to anyway Spike" I whispered putting my forehead against his.
"I love you y/n" he whispered with a smile, "I love you Spike" I cried back, feeling a tear finally break free. I had exactly what I wanted now. Just Spike.
