Spike made sure that Xander never spent an hour alone. He didn't want his love feeling neglected. So every time that Xander slept, and woke, and ate, and bathed, Spike was there to show how much he cared. And every time he frowned, or paused, or whimpered or looked blue, Spike made sure he learnt the reason why.

Before the month was through Spike knew Xander inside out. He knew what made him cry and scream and beg. He knew what glazed his eyes, and made his fingers clench and grasp. Spike knew each thought before it left his head.

Spike selected the gifts to woo his love with most inhuman care, Victorian and demon sensibilities combined.

A book of English poets he had worshipped as a boy; one special verse, 'A Rose', marked out with blood-bright carmine ribbon.

Then a pair of roses, one of deepest red and one of white, skilfully entwined, with thorns to spare.

The heart and head and hands of one who'd dared to touch, in anger, the beauty Spike had chosen for his own.

And every night, despite the artful ploys of Sire and Slayer, Spike made sure his loved one saw his face.

He had smelled delicious. The acrid pungency of fear mingled with the singed hair reek of hatred, overlaid with curls of dark bitter chocolate and a hint of cream. It had been almost as attractive as his wildly beating heart and burning eyes and madly pumping teenage hormones.

If not for him the evening would have been a complete disaster, but Spike couldn’t find it in himself to care much about that. Not even failing to bag his third slayer because of her mother could completely ruin his good mood. He was too busy planning the courtship of his boy.
