Weren't they talking about a nap?

Continued from here.

Spike laughed and nodded, smiling up at Wesley. "I hear you. I wouldn't dream of arguing with you, pet."

"Good," Wesley said. "I intend to have my way over this."

Wesley moved in to make the kiss less fleeting, tasting Spike's mouth thoroughly before pulling back again. "Is there anything else you need? Tell me. It's important."

"That's not an answer," Wesley said.

"And you'd tell me if there was something you needed -- or wanted -- that you weren't getting?" Wesley asked.

"That's right." Wesley stroked his hand along Spike's shoulder gently.

"No, I don't think you would," Wesley said, leaning down to kiss Spike again. "Unless I needed you to."

"Prevent me from making any fashion faux pas," Wesley agreed, reminded of something. "Speaking of which, in the confusion over having the glass installed last night, I completely forgot to tell you -- we have our first case."

"No, it means that Angel phoned. There were some people here in New York that needed help, so he passed them along to us." Wesley waited to see how Spike would respond to this news.

"I think he was just as glad to get them off his hands, to be perfectly honest," Wesley said.

"No... just not the sort of people he likes to deal with. Nervous, requiring a lot of reassurance. And needing translation work done, which, while he wouldn't have handled that part himself, he's not all that comfortable with." Wesley traced a vein in Spike's throat with one fingertip.

"The right people," Wesley corrected him. "After the translation's done, there's the small matter of finding and retrieving an... well, I suppose one would call it an artifact."

"There's a good chance there'll be violence," Wesley said, smiling at Spike's reaction.

"No," Wesley admitted. "Which is why I wouldn't have been able to accept the case without you. I take it you won't mind?"

"I think, difficult as it might be, I'll have to send you off to take care of this one on your own," Wesley said. "Because you're right, I'm not really up to par physically."

"It wasn't the knife that was the problem, it was the person holding it," Wesley said, refusing to let himself react badly to the memory.

Wesley nodded. "In any case, the scroll that requires translation ought to arrive by tomorrow, so I'll need to sit down with it for a bit. It shouldn't take long."

It didn't take more than a few seconds' thought to come up with an answer. "Yes, I suppose I am. It's another step. In our life together."

"Only when I know that we were doing him a favor by taking the case, and not the other way around," Wesley said. "If you'd heard his voice, you'd know what I mean."

"I don't have any reason to believe that in a few months we won't have more than enough to keep us busy on our own," Wesley said.

"It won't hurt to have them," Wesley said, not for the first time. "If you don't use them, that's all right."

"It's important to me that we're partners in this," Wesley said, lying down with his head on Spike's shoulder. "In everything."

Wesley smiled faintly, rubbing his cheek against Spike's shoulder. "That's right," he said. "You and me, together."
