Title: I Dream of You
Fandom: BTVS
Pairing: Spike/Willow, Buffy/Angel
Rating: PG-15
Summary: S4 AU A dream demon's attack forces Spike to admit he has feelings for Willow.
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with BTVS, it’s not my toy box. I’m merely playing.
A/N: The first part is Spike's version of the nightmare. Also Angel and Riley meet for the first time in this fic. Also as much as I love Willow and Tara as a couple in order for this fic to work they're just friends. Finally in this fic Oz's return is his first return to Sunnydale. I know that makes this very AU, but I made it work as I could. I wrote this while they were still in season 4 for a friend of mine, she's a heavy B/A shipper and at the time I was a heavy Willow/Spike shipper. Hence this fic is dedicated to Lindsey.
Chapter 4:
"I'm walking into a clearing and I see Willow ahead, sometimes she's with Oz other times Spike. Neither of them sees me or the demon behind her. I try warning them, but I have no voice. When I try to run over I can't move. The only thing I can do is stand there and watch her die in his arms," Angel stopped his story as Buffy handed him a mug of blood, " Thanks."
He looked around the room at the others. Spike was asleep on the couch with a protective arm around Willow. She for her part looked perplexed. Giles' face was furrowed into a frown as he moved over to his bookshelves. Anya was snuggled on Xander's lap. It was the boy who caught his attention now for he'd gone pale.
"Well that's rather funny, because I'm having similar dreams. This means its demons messing with my brain doesn't it?" Xander took a deep breath from his prattling, "Oh boy. So we find it right and Buffy kills it right? Right Giles? Giles?"
Giles turned to look at Xander, "Well that depended on our ability to identify the demon, which requires a description."
Angel thought for a moment then started, "It was about my height, scaled dark with..."
"Red eyes and big white fangs," Xander interrupted.
"It killed her with a dagger, it looked almost ceremonial."
"I remember the fangs, huge white fangs and the eyes, evil red eyes."
Giles paused as he considered this evidence. He pulled several books from his shelf. Picking one up he skimmed through it a moment before pausing then handing it to Angel. Angel could only shake his head. He tried again, this time handing the book to Xander.
"No go."
Giles frowned as he tried again.
"No."
Sighing he handed them both books. Pulling another off his shelf he handed it to Anya.
"Hey don't I get..." Giles handed the book he was holding to Buffy and started to go into the next room to get another text.
"I want to help too," Willow said meekly as she untangled herself from Spike's grasp and began to make her way over to Giles, "After all it is my life we're trying to save."
As soon as she stood Spike's eyes snapped open, his face slowly contorted in horror. Frowning Willow watched him a moment before laying down next to him again. His body slowly relaxed and as he drifted back to a calmer sleep he wrapped a protective arm around her.
Giles watched the two a moment before he took the book Xander was holding, flipped a few pages and then handed the book back to Xander, "Would this be our demon?"
Xander looked at the picture of the demon, "Yep, that's the guy." Giles showed the book to Angel who agreed with Xander.
"It seems Angel was correct when he said this was ceremonial, this demon functions by consuming feminine victims while forcing the males who love her to suffer for seven days before it attacks. Spike's visions started about five days again, how long have you two been dreaming?"
"Five sounds right." Angel stated sounding grim. Two days did not give them much time.
"If it affects us male-type who love Willow then why is Giles all hunky dory?" Xander asked.
Giles only turned back to the book adjusting his glasses, "The demon only affects brothers and lovers. My feelings towards Willow are of a more fatherly nature."
Xander frowned a moment. "So let me see if I have this right. Brotherly feelings equals dreams about mister demon killing Willow. Lovey dovey relationship feelings equal," his voiced trailed to nothingness as they all turned to look at Spike, " Am I the only one whose thinking how dare he think of our Willow that way?"
They all expected Willow to say something, but instead they were met with silence for she had fallen asleep.
