You wouldn't get beaten up. Spike, come on. You've seen me without a shirt and so has most of the school. I can take care of demons, I can sure as hell keep some pesky schoolboys at bay.
You can come over here if you want. It's a terrible place, but there's privacy.
Yeah, well, just don't like the potential. That's all. I know you can but some of the blokes tower over me, you know? I need to start working out more.
Well it's either that or you come here and we spent an evening with just me, you and Dawn. She likes to hang with me lately and I can never get rid of her.
I like that. Being with you. It's about time you realised I liked you.
There's nothing like a 12 year old making you watch romantic comedies while she talks about boys. And I dunno, I already told Joyce, might tell Dawn if she can keep it from Buffy. Odds are she won't though.
How was I supposed to realize any sooner? I didn't even realize I liked you.
Dawn has a crush on me. I think. Which would be more flattering if she didn't also crush on Xander. She might not have the most discerning taste. And so you don't want Buffy to know?
You also thought I was straight and with Harmony for some insane reason.
She also had one on me but I think since we started living together, it's morphed into brotherly love. Which is less creepy. She just wants to cuddle and watch TV a lot... which I rarely do cause, you know, blokes don't cuddle. And nah, not overly, she'll take the piss and tell all her mates and then they'll take the piss too.
Well, yeah, but you were still officially with her for all the world to see, so it didn't exactly make it seem as if you're waiting for me to sweep you off your feet.
What time are you free? I mean, you can just come over right after school for all I care. Though, fair warning, my place really is a hole.
Not really? I mean, you insult them, sometimes they make fun of you, seems pretty amiable. They'd like to know I'm dating.
I never faked it, I was pretty blunt. Just tactful to Harm. I didn't want to hurt her.
I'll bring it. Can I crash at yours? ... Or is that too much? We don't have to. It'd just be easier than walking home is all. Sod it, I'm not that fussed.

As nice as that sounds, it might be lacking the romance aspect a little. But whatever you prefer. I'm assuming we'd be keeping it secret from her too.

Blokes don't cuddle. But they do kiss, right? because I was thinking we could do more of that tonight. And listen to music. Get a pizza. Is that okay?
Well. I'm kind of one of her mates. They are my mates too.
no subject
That would be amazing, yeah. Bloody wonderful. I have the best plans for tonight. God, I can't wait, it's a bloody pain I have to.
Yeah but they're not mine and they judge me big time. Don't pretend you haven't noticed.

I have a free period, I finish at 2.30 today, when are you done? And who cares? You're there. That's enough for me.
Well fine, you can say but don't tell Rupert because he'll get all awkward and try to support me and we'll both regret it.
no subject
I can leave with you. We can get pizza or anything else, hang out, make music. Bring your guitar? Or you can borrow mine.
I bet if you thought he'd be against it, you'd have wanted us to make out in front of him.

He'll try to hug me. We don't need that trauma!

Oh yeah, you can. I mean. I only have one bed. But maybe that won't be a problem.
Is this me getting you into bed?
no subject
I'm sure we can fit.
And damn, I really bloody well hope so.
