"Thank you for giving it to me," Wesley said, just as softly, closing his eyes and resting his hand on Spike's chest, letting his thumb rub back and forth in a gentle rhythm.

"I want it, too. I love you," Spike replied, settling his cheek against Wesley's hair. "You've given me more than anyone. Dru gave me immortality, and Buffy gave me a chance at redemption, but you, you gave me your heart. You gave me yourself. It's everything I've ever wanted." He could hear the emotion in his voice and he added more lightly, "Yeah, I'm bleeding sentimental. It comes out now and then. You'll have to get used to it."

Spike was quiet for a moment, absorbing that comment. "I didn't think I'd find peace."

"I've got no doubt about that, pet," Spike said with a smile. "There's still a lot about you I don't know. You'll never stop surprising me."

Shutting his eyes, Spike wrapped his arms more securely around Wesley, holding him as close as he dared. "I haven't had much of it, but I do. With you, anyway. Don't see myself becoming one of those Zen monks."

"Mmm, I love you, too, pet." Spike lazily rubbed his face against Wesley's hair. "Besides, I've always hated chanting."
