Spike would actually have been delighted to see Angel again, since he had some more opinions he felt like expressing, preferably with a satisfying crunch of bone beneath his fists, but given Wesley's strong feelings about how such an encounter could unfold it was probably for the best if they avoided him. "We'll be quick. There's nothing else you want while we're there? Anything from your office? A rare book or two from storage?"

"Then we'll stop, and I'll give you mouth-to-mouth if you need it," Spike said with a hint of a grin, though his heart wasn't really in it. "It's not the end of the world if it's all noise to you. Well, unless you're right about the apocalypse."

Wesley suspected that part of the problem was that he was worried that Spike would be disappointed if it was nothing but noise to him. "I might be tempted to pretend I needed mouth to mouth," he said, smiling a bit.

Spike's smile was faint but genuine. "I wouldn't mind at all. I'll take any excuse to kiss you."

"You don't need an excuse," Wesley said. "You can kiss me any time you like. Well, when I'm not driving."

Or when you're caught up in something or someone else, Spike thought rather petulantly. "I'll keep that in mind, though you might live to regret that invitation."

"If I did, it would be a regret of an extremely temporary nature," Wesley said.

"You do realize that's not actually encouraging," Spike commented. "Rejection is rejection, no matter how temporary."
