CONNECTING
He could feel his soul channeling
and pouring out the light from within, incinerating the ubervamps. He
knew that the First had been beaten back, but it was up to him to be sure it
stayed down. Suddenly she reached toward his outspread hand, touching her
palm to his. He could see the tears gathering in her eyes - eyes that
looked at him with awe, tenderness and a dawning recognition that they would
not both be leaving this place.
Their fingers intertwined and energy
flowed between them, connecting them in a way unlike any other time they had
touched. Spike realized that this is what he was meant to do. His Slayer
had put evil on the run and he was going to back her up - one last time. He
felt power flowing from him into her, healing the wound and giving her the
strength to escape. "Go" he told her. "Get out".
"I love you," she choked
out, the tears overflowing her eyes and sliding down her face. The words
he had waited so long to hear somehow weren't that important anymore. The
connection between them was so strong, so pure, so all-encompassing that those
merely human words faded in importance next to the blending of their souls that
he could feel. But he knew the words were important to her. She
wanted him to feel valued when he died. He was mildly surprised that she
couldn't feel the energy between them for what it was. He would always be with
her now - as she would always be with him. He knew, sometime, in some
future place they would be together again. Forever. He tried to tell her that -
that he didn't need those words because he knew what they were to each other
and it was so much more than the love between a man and a woman. But all
he could think of to express it was "No, you don't; but thanks for saying
it". He wanted to let her know he appreciated the words. He just
didn't need them anymore.
He put all his effort into the flow between their hands. Hoping she would
realize his real meaning. Then he had to make her go. He wanted his
Slayer to live; he wanted her to have the long happy life he was earning for
her. And, if truth be told, some little part of his irrepressible
personality was enjoying all the destruction his soul was wreaking. He was
curious to see how it would end. He released her hand, and with a last
look back, she ran out of the collapsing cavern and into the sunlight and the
world.

- Always Mine (05/03)
I see them watching me when they think I won't notice. I know they're
wondering why I'm not sadder - waiting for me to break down and mourn for my
lost lover. Giles was right - as were Andrew, Willow, all the potentials
- we were lovers, even if we weren't physically acting on our feelings. (And, I
can admit to myself now, I'm really sorry for wasting all those months of
potential kissage and more. Stupid, stupid, Buffy!)
They weren't there at the end, though. They don't understand that in those last
few minutes we finally "connected" in a way neither of us had ever
expected. I'm sorry he's not here to hold me, to fight with me, to
"give me multiple orgasms" as Anya (Oh, Anya!) would say, to be my
refuge from the world. I do miss him. I miss his physical presence and I
always will.
But I know something they don't. He is with me all the time now. He's a
part of me and I will always have that extra strength, that extra layer of
protection from evil and that unconditional love that I can feel all the time
now. So, yeah, I'm sorry he's physically gone. I'll miss him.
But like I told Angel (and how prophetic was that?), he IS in my heart and
always will be. Spike will never leave me.
And anyway, I just know he was having fun bringing the whole town down around
his ears.
I
love you, Spike.
