Wesley shook his head and curled his fingers into Spike's shirt again. "No, I want to stay like this. With you."

"I could also lie down with you," Spike offered, but he moved enough that his shoulder was resting against the upright part of Wesley's mattress, which made the position more comfortable for him.. The knot of tension that had been tight in his chest was loosening now that it was clear that he had made the right decision to stay and take care of Wesley's more pressing needs than soup.

Spike laid his hand gently in the center of Wesley's chest. "Stay right where you are. I've got a whole bed of my own, remember? You saw to that."

"Like what?" Spike asked with a fond, amused smile. "Think about all you're ready for right now is falling asleep."

Spike assumed that Wesley was making sense in his own head, but he certainly wasn't to the rest of the world. He took it as a good sign that the medicine was working. "That'll have to wait until you're better, pet."

"Yeah, you did," Spike said, smiling at him and tilting his face slightly into Wesley's hand. "Where do you want to go?"

"I'm afraid I won't be much help keeping you warm," Spike said. "But I'd be happy to curl up around you anyway."

"I see you've got it all planned out." Spike trailed the backs of his fingers over Wesley's stubbled cheek. "I like that you plan things with me in them."

"I know you could." Spike took in the vagueness in Wesley's eyes and amended, "Maybe not right now. But I'm glad you don't want to."

"That's never going to happen," Spike said softly, looking steadily into Wesley's eyes. "I'll always want you to be with me."

Spike smiled. "You make it sound like you're some annoying youngster following at my heels," he said. "I'm sure we'll both want to be on our own now and again, but I'll always be looking forward to getting back to you."

"I'll do my best to live up to that," Spike said, though he couldn't shake the conviction that Wesley should have wanted more.

"No one's ever felt that way about me before," Spike said as he clasped Wesley's hand, turning it and pressing a gentle, grateful kiss to its palm. "The only thing I'd change about you is that you're hurt."

Spike kissed Wesley palm a second time. "It'll be worth the wait, having you well again. But next time I'll see what I can do to make sure you don't get hurt to start." If he failed, Angel wouldn't be there to swoop in and take charge, and the thought was terrifying.

"Don't suppose I could get you to agree to you spending more time translating at home by that fire you were talking about and leaving the fighting demons in alleys to me?" Spike asked. He was mostly joking.

Spike squeezed Wesley's hand and let it go. "I'll take 'some.' Not that I don't want you at my back in a fight, but I could do without the part where you're lying bleeding on the ground." He managed to catch himself before he said 'bleeding to death,' which was certainly truthful but also more likely to upset Wesley with how close a call it had been.

Spike leaned his head on the mattress. "Then in this future you're planning, write in no more of you being hurt. Takes away from the fun we could have in front of the fire."

"Looks like you're feeling no pain, doesn't it?" Spike said, trying not to laugh. He wouldn't want Wesley to act this way every day, but he had to admit that he enjoyed seeing him so loose. "How many times am I going to have to tell you to take the medicine before you start hurting? Bugger the schedules."

Spike frowned a bit, trying to follow Wesley's train of thought. "I thought you didn't like being on the drugs."

"Never thought I'd hear that from you," Spike said with a little laugh.

"If you don't want to be laughed at, you picked the wrong bloke," Spike replied, grinning in return. "But I'm not laughing at you. You surprised me."

"Didn't peg you for the sort who'd give up his control without a fight." Spike thought back to Wesley playing at taking his commands in bed and added, "Or a good reason."

Spike laughed again. "Now and then. Trying this stuff out for fun makes sense to me, apart from you being the one suggesting it. As long as you don't get addicted; I've seen enough opium dens and crack houses to last a lifetime. Didn't like them that much even when I was evil. Gets boring when your dinner's just lying there."
