Going to bed for real?

Continued from here.

"I think there are too many things I want," Wesley said, looking at Spike. "One of them might..." He hesitated, not wanting to say it, then he decided that he might as well say it and blame it on the drink. "One of them might be for tomorrow not to have to come."

Spike knew that feeling well. "There's not much we can do about that," he said sympathetically. "Apart from not thinking about it right now."

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that sounds good." Suddenly needing to feel Spike against him again, Wesley dropped his towel onto the edge of the sink and stepped closer, putting both arms around the vampire.

Spike dropped his own towel carelessly to the floor and held Wesley close, pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "There's nothing but us," he murmured, wishing that it were true for longer than this brief respite.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Rubbing his cheek against Spike's damp hair, Wesley sighed. "Let's go to bed."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Music to my ears," Spike said, smiling and taking a small step back but keeping one arm around Wesley's waist.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"I am tired," Wesley admitted, as they started for the bedroom. "Do you think you'll be able to sleep?"

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Probably. I'm pretty relaxed, thanks to you." Spike grinned. "How 'bout you?"

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure. Well, sooner or later, obviously." Wesley rubbed a hand over his face.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Spike squeezed Wesley's waist and tried to think of some way he could make him stop thinking about all of the unpleasantness of the future for a little while longer. "What can I do to help you, pet?"

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'll be fine," Wesley said, turning his head to look at Spike as they reached the edge of the bed. "Maybe some sleep will help."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Feeling perhaps unfairly that Wesley was shutting him out, Spike nodded and said, "All right."

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley adjusted the covers and then climbed into bed, moving over so that there was room for Spike.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"I'd offer to get you some warm milk, but I'm not sure you've got any in the flat," Spike said lightly, crawling into bed and adjusting his pillow until he was comfortable. He ended up settled on his side, facing Wesley but not touching him.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

The thought made Wesley wince. "I'm not sure it would go very well with all the alcohol," he said. "But thank you for thinking of it." He looked into Spike's eyes and was caught there in the gaze. "Thank you," he repeated, meaning for all sorts of things.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing to thank me for," Spike said, reaching up a hand to ghost his fingers over Wesley's cheek before pulling it back.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"There are plenty of things to thank you for," Wesley said, catching Spike's hand with his own and squeezing it.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Spike shook his head, but he kept hold of Wesley's hand. "I haven't done anything special." Apart from not hitting Angel, but he didn't think he should bring that up.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you have." Wesley thought that they could probably argue about it all night, and that was the last thing he wanted to do. "And you could do something else for me now."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"What's that, love?" Spike asked, happy to have something specific to do.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Come closer and put your arms around me?" Wesley asked, with a small smile.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Spike returned the smile and said, "That's easy enough." He slid closer and opened his arms to let Wesley settle in against him.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley's sigh of contentment was genuine as he relaxed in Spike's embrace. "Much better."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Good," Spike said, gently stroking one hand down Wesley's back, the other holding him more securely. "Anything else I can do?"

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's nice," Wesley said, referring to the gentle hand sliding down his back. "More of that would be good."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Still smiling, Spike kept his hand moving slowly. "You're very easy to please."

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Wesley said, thinking of all the things he wanted. "You just have a remarkable talent for being what I need."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"That's lucky for me, then." Spike's smile faded somewhat before he could stop himself from wondering what would happen when he was no longer what Wesley needed, and he pulled Wesley a bit closer to try to regain some of the feeling of connection they had shared earlier.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley ducked his head and kissed Spike's chest. "I'm the one who's lucky," he murmured.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Why do I think we're not going to agree about this?" Spike said with a soft laugh.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"I don't think we need to," Wesley said, pressing himself more tightly to Spike. "We're both lucky. We can leave it at that."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"All right," Spike said softly, but he still knew in his bones that he was far luckier. He rolled his shoulders to get more comfortable and adjusted his position slightly to let Wesley get closer. "This is nice."

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley agreed, even though he knew he wouldn't be able to go to sleep like this. "It is nice." He tilted his head, seeking Spike's lips with his own.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Spike was very happy to kiss Wesley, having missed it during the extremely enjoyable handjob in the shower. He cupped Wesley's face with one hand and kissed him deeply if gently.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"This is nicer," Wesley said, when the kiss had ended. He immediately moved in for another, resting his hand on Spike's hip.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

Stroking his thumb along Wesley's cheekbone, Spike made a sound of agreement, not wanting to move away from Wesley's lips long enough to speak. The taste of Wesley's mouth was addictive, drawing him in and only making him crave more.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley rubbed his hand over Spike's hip as they continued to kiss, tilting his head obligingly when necessary, grateful for Spike's touch.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Do you have any idea how good you make me feel just by touching me?" Spike murmured, sliding his hand down to caress Wesley's throat, feeling his pulse throbbing under his palm.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"I want to," Wesley said. "I want to do everything for you." He ran his fingertips down along Spike's thigh.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Is this where I say you do more than enough, and you disagree, and we have to stop talking about it?" Spike's voice was mild, and he grinned as he kissed the corner of Wesley's mouth.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley smiled back. "No," he said. "This is where you kiss me until we both forget what we were talking about. This is where you love me, annoying behavior and all."

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"I do love you, and it's not annoying that you care about me," Spike said, his smile turning warmer. He leaned in for another long kiss, asking when he finally pulled back, "How's that?"

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

"Perfect," Wesley said, having felt his cock stir slightly at the intensity of the kiss.

[flaming-muse.livejournal.com]

"Then it's worth repeating." Spike tightened his arm around Wesley and kissed him again.

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Wesley groaned softly at the ache in his groin, still convinced that nothing would come of it but enjoying the way it felt anyway. "You can repeat it as many times as you like," he gasped when they finally broke apart again.
