Time Well Spent by
The
remnants of the Scoobies stood at the edge of the newly formed crater that
marked the town they had protected for almost seven years. Bits of rock and
dirt were still cascading down the sides and the echoes of muffled explosions
could still be heard. "What
happened?" Giles asked as he surveyed the total destruction of the town. "He
loved me," Buffy said in a pained voice. "He died for me." "He
died for all of us," Willow corrected with a soft scowl. "You weren't
the only one Spike cared about." "Hey,
wheres
Xander?" Dawn asked, looking around. Hed given her a pat on the shoulder on
the bus but she hadn't seen him after she started watching for Buffy. "He
just
just disappeared," Faith said, looking around the bus widely. I thought the spooky shit
was supposed to be over? "He
couldnt
just disappear. He was on the bus with up," Dawn protested. "We won.
Spike died so wed be safe." Technology
was a wonderful thing, even when the world had just missed another near miss at
complete annihilation. Giles still had
his cell phone on him and it rang right in the middle of all out argument that
had broke out amongst the Scoobies. What? he snapped into the
phone. "Rupert,
has anything strange happened? We were monitoring the situation in Sunnydale
and plotting a secondary line of defence when Angel muttered Spike and vanished," Wesley
said without any preamble. "Spike died sealing the Hellmouth and Xander just disappeared as well, Giles admitted to
Wesley. We
just escaped the implosion of Sunnydale and dont know whats happening truthfully. "We
know what happened. Spike used the amulet Angel gave me and blew up the First
and the hell mouth," Buffy said. "Who is that? Whats going on now?" Giles
covered the mouth piece and muttered, "Buffy, please. Theres been additional developments Im trying to work out with
Wesley. <><><><><><> "What
the
"
Xander yelped as the bus disappeared around him and he tumbled to the ground.
The first thing he noticed was that the smell was all wrong. Then he realized
how dark it was which quickly led to the realization that he had both his eyes
again. The only thing he could think was that he had died somehow on the escape
from Sunnydale, and the darkness didn't lend him much hope of having ended
up in heaven. His
hand moved along the ground and he felt cold stone beneath his palm. He didnt think hell was dark, smelly and
prone to cobblestone, but then again the last thing he remembered was escaping
from an imploding Hellmouth in a school bus.
So he pinched himself. Oww, okay, so Im awake, he mumbled to himself. Under
the starlight he started to pick out his surroundings. He was on a crude
cobblestone road in the middle of nowhere. Off to the south he could see faint
lights that looked like they could belong to a town. "Maybe I ended up
somewhere with a phone," he muttered as he picked himself up and started
trudging toward the town. <><><><><><> Bloody
hell,
Spike muttered as he abruptly jolted into consciousness. He immediately knew he wasn't in Sunnydale by the
smell of the area around him. He didnt smell the slayers or
the mutated vampires. What he also didnt smell was the typical
pollution and grunge of modern America. He
checked himself quickly, looking for any signs of burning. He knew he wasnt going to forget the
feeling of burning alive as the amulet flared to life. Something about where he
was now was tugging at his mind, but he didnt dwell on it. He wanted to find the
others, find out if they had all survived. He could easily see the outline of a
town to the north even if he didnt realize how out of place the town should
have looked to him. He
started towards the soft glow of the town when he caught a familiar scent on a
breeze. He could smell Xander and was
more than happy to follow the scent to find the whelp. He'd know where the
others were and maybe even what was going on. He smirked when he saw Xander
stumbling over the uneven road, trying unsuccessfully to make his way in the
dark. He
resisted the urge to sneak up on Xander, instead walking toward him in full
view on the road. "Wheres everyone else, whelp?" he called out as soon as he
was close enough for Xander to hear his raised voice. He wasnt going to be doing any
shouting until he was knew where he was. Xander
jumped despite Spikes precautions, as if seeing an apparition. I dont know
hey, what are you doing
alive? "Well,
I dont
think were
anywhere near dear old Sunnydale, and it looks like youre a bit different
now," Spike said with a gesture toward Xanders eye. He was trying to
stay calm but he was getting worried about what had happened. Maybe
this is all big dream of mine, Xander started to babble. I dream about having my eye back,
but then if this is a dream, why are you here?
I mean, why not Anya. I lost
Anya. But Ive also dreamed about a
life-sized talking Twinkie before, so having you here isnt that
"Thats enough of the babble.
We need to find out where the bloody hell we are and where everyone else got.
Last I remember was burning to my final death as Buffy got away." Spikes voice lowered a little.
"They all did get away right?" Not
everyone,
Xander answered. Anya and some of the new Slayers didnt make it. "Sorry
about Anya, glad everyone else got away though. Sbetter then I expected," Spike
said. He grabbed Xanders arm and started pulling him off toward the town. "Well get to town and see
whats
going on." I
dont
think this is real, Xander commented as he let Spike pull him down the road. I have both of my eyes. "Its real, and theres something familiar
about it, but m not sure what," Spike said with a disgusted snort.
"Got soft living with all of you, not like when
." Spikes voice trailed off as
the smells finally registered and he got a good look at the town. "Bloody
hell." What
is it?
Xander demanded. Are we in some sort of alternate
reality? "Look
at the town." Spike pointed out the rough, wooden houses, cobble stone
street, and stables with the wave of his hand, not realizing there was no way
Xander could see that far in the dark. "Were somewhere in the past. I knew
this smelled familiar." A
time warp?
Xander snorted. This isnt the Rocky Picture
Horror Show, Spike, this is real life were dealing with. "We
need to find a place to hide. Days not far off and humans arent nearly as blind in this
time. Cant
have them staking me after I saved the world can I?" Spike made for an
outlying barn that looked like it was just used for storage. Im human, Xander pointed out, but
still followed behind Spike. I could ask someone for help and you could stay hidden. "You
think you can fit in? Theyll take one look at your clothes and be trying to burn you
at the stake, too. Best listen to me if you wanna survive long enough to try to
find a way back," Spike said. I
can change my clothes, Xander grumbled back.
Im not completely useless. "Im going over to that
barn. You can come with me or you can go ask someone for some new clothes and
hope they dont
kill you. Just dont tell them where I am when they start to torture you." Xander
took one look at the unfamiliar town and back at Spikes retreating form. It was a quick decision to make and he
trotted after Spike. When you say barn
will there be
animals? I can handle a cat maybe, but
nothing else
"Cats
are probably all that will be there. That barns used to store feed for the winter
so lots of mice and some cats to eat the mice," Spike said as they got
closer. "Were staying in the damn thing all day. Once its dark again well get some food and new
clothes." I
suppose its
one step up from my parents basement or your crypt, Xander commented. "Step
up from that bleeding pit you lived in, but my crypt was nice when people werent mucking around with it.
Now go find a corner somewhere and sleep," Spike said as he pushed Xander
into the barn. Sleep
alone?
Xander hesitated, standing in the middle of the small building. In a barn. "Sleep
wherever you want. Just dont wake me up unless its life or death
my life or death,"
Spike said. He was busy worming his way into the middle of loosely baled hay in
the middle of the barn. There
was just enough moonlight that Xander could stand there and watch Spike for a
few moments. His feet were shuffling
and he started to move a little closer to Spike. He didn't like that he couldn't hear traffic or the noise of the
city around him. Spike
snorted at Xander. "Go take care of human business. Dont want you moving around
in the middle of the day while Im trying to sleep." Right
okay
Xander answered and went
outside of the barn to take a leak.
When he heard something rustle around in the bush, he rushed back into
the barn, nearly tripping over Spike. Spike
let Xander wiggle into the hay behind him. He made sure Xander was positioned
where he could breath then ignored him and went to sleep. There was too much
going on to deal with and he wanted to sleep. Between the battle with the
First, the time travel, and having no clue what was going on he just wanted to
sleep. <><><><><><> An
internal time clock told Angel that it was nearing evening. When hed found himself swept back in time,
it had been confusing and he had spent the short time before dawn searching the
territory. He knew he was in the past but he wasn't sure where. There hadn't
been any reliable cover around and he'd been forced to resort to burying
himself in the ground for a hiding spot. As
soon as hed
clawed his way out of the ground, he shook himself off and headed toward Spike.
He could feel him more easily then he had in years. Unfortunately, he could
also sense Darla and Drucilla. He wasnt sure if he was ready to deal with
them again. Hopefully, Spike would be the souled version and hed have an ally when they
all met up. When
he found Spike, he also found Xander Harris curled around him in a barn. He was honestly surprised that Spike let him
get this close without waking up. "Quiet,"
Spike whispered when Angel moved closer and started to talk. "Hes finally asleep, not
complaining, and not tossing around. So howd you get pulled back here too, poof?" Probably
the same way you did, Angel snapped softly. And if I know anything about it, you
were involved in it. "Me?
I burned to death wearing that damn amulet you gave Buffy. Died to save the
whole bleeding world and end up here somehow." Spike was too pissed off at
Angel to worry about waking Xander and he was shouting now. "And you, you,
want to blame me you brooding nancyboy?" Spike? Xander huffed and then
sat bolt up right when Angel shouted back. Dont start with me now! I know youre all to blame for this, Childe.
You've always been good at causing problems for me! Angel spat. "Trapped
in the past with Angel and Spike. No one I know is around. Since youre both wearing clothes Im guessing this is the
nightmare version of the dream not the good version." Xander stopped his
babble and gulped when both vampires turned incredulous stares on him.
"Fuck, ignore that, just not awake yet and not sure what Im even saying. Shouldnt you be yelling at
Angel, Spike? He did call you a troublemaker." Xander couldnt believe hed said the part about the
two of them naked. You
dream about us, together? Angel asked with a raised eyebrow. He could yell at Spike at anytime, but this
was far more interesting
disturbing perhaps, but interesting. "Dont mind me. Ill get out of your way so
you can beat Spike up, or he can beat you up," Xander said as he started
trying to get out from under Spikes arm. "Just let me go. I wont bother you guys any
more." Spike
tightened his arm around Xanders waist. Dont think so, whelp, Spike made a tsking
sound. This is an interesting
development. Needed a distraction. "So
instead of a round of Angel and Spike fighting we get a round of make fun of
Xander. Hey, why not. Itll feel like Im back in Sunnydale." Xander
said. Were not in Sunnydale, were here. What we should
be worrying about is Darla and Drucilla, Angel said, realizing now wasnt the time and place to
discuss this, but he knew he'd remember it for later. I
dont
sense Angelus, Spike commented after concentrating for a moment. And trust me, Id be able to sense him. "Darla
and Dru are the only two of our line nearby," Angel confirmed. "And
theyre
coming this way. Were going to have to have our stories straight and account
for the human still being alive somehow." "Human?"
Xander snorted. He was still trying to
figure out how he ended up in Spike's arms earlier. "Hello, human has a name here!" "Not
to them you wont," Angel said ominously. "And unless we find a way
back in the next few hours they are going to catch up with us. Darla almost
always had access to horses or a carriage. We cant even be seen in town until we
steal some clothes." Theyre gonna smell me on him,
too,
Spike added. He remembered how jealous
their females could be. "We
could both mark him. Should be enough to hold them off for a little while as
long as one of us is always with him. It will probably take all three of us to
get back so we cant let him go out on his own," Angel said, looking
Xander over. "Hes got the right look. Neither of them would be too surprised
that we both wanted to play with him for a while." Spike
nodded, giving Xander a critical eye as well.
Yeah,
he could pass if he kept his mouth shut. "Whoa,
Im so not the
mouth-keeping-shut guy," Xander said. He was backing up slowly as he
talked. "I can just go hang out in town somewhere and you guys can come
get me when you figure out how to get us home. Your psycho girlfriends dont even need to know I
exist." Hes gonna have to learn
discipline and respect if hes gonna pass it off, Spike said to Angel, already
stalking after Xander. "Hello,
Im in the room, the barn,
whatever. Dont
you two still have souls?" Xander said weakly. He was sure they were able
to smell his arousal despite his protestations. The idea wasnt so horrible, but they
wanted to do it to fool Darla and Dru, who he had no desire to see, not because
they were interested in him. Angel
smiled when he smelt the boys arousal. Maybe
they could pull this off convincingly after all and have some fun in the
process as well. He had been considering just a bite and enough rubbing around
to get the smell right, but if Xander was willing to go further it would work
better anyway. I very much have a soul,
but they wont
know that,
Angel said, taking a few steps closer to Xander. Want to tell me what you dreamt about us, boy? "Goddamn
it, my name is Xander. I know youve used it before Deadboy, and Im not telling you about
any dreams. Lets just say none of them started with you deciding to do stuff
because you had no other choice and wanted to fool your girlfriends." I
dont
think you understand, boy, Angel said. This isnt some little girl were dealing with. Were dealing with my Sire, Darla, at
the prime of her power. One wrong move
and shed
rip your still beating heart out of your chest. "Okay,
not liking that option either. Cant we just do whatever without really
doing whatever until we can ditch them?" Xander asked. He was looking back
and forth between the two vampires who now had him cornered. "I know
neither of you really want anything to do with me so we can just fake it." Fake
it, huh?
Spike all but purred. He had a feeling he knew what his Sire was up to and he
was willing to play along. He'd always found Xander mildly attractive. His
loyalty, when he gave it, was almost vampire like. Plus, dying briefly had made
him see that there really wasn't a future with Buffy. I dont think so. Hard to
fake being our pet. "Wouldnt say we dont want anything to do
with you. Told you that you have the right look. I couldnt ever get past the
insults but that wont be a problem once youre a pet, will it," Angels purr matched Spikes as they moved forward
in tandem. What
does a
p-pet do?
Xander stammered. "Youve read enough of the
Watchers
books to know what they do, pet," Spike said. "Dont got time to talk it to
death, Sire. I should claim him first. You can control Dru and Darla will be
less upset if hes primarily my pet." Im not a pet, Xander protested, but
Spike was pressing him against the wall of the barn. He might be taller than Spike, but he didnt feel like it right now. Angel
growled and pulled Spike aside. "You forget your place, Childe. This one
was marked as mine years ago. Angelus warned you to stay away from him." Spike
changed into game face and hissed back at Angel. Im not some fledgling anymore, and youre not Angelus! "In
this time you are. Youre going to have to learn some manners too, but well deal with that after
weve
taken care of the boy." Hello,
man here,
Xander gulped, then laughed nervously. Not a boy. "You
dont
talk unless we ask you a question," Angel said, one hand reaching out to
unbutton Xanders shirt. "Good pets are quiet, and it will keep you
from making the girls suspicious." Good
pets get rewarded, Spike added before Xander could make a snarky
comeback. He reached out and tilted
Xanders
head back to expose his neck to Angel. "I
cant
stop you, but dont do anymore then you have to," Xander said as he
finally stopped fighting Spike. "Least this time I know my dates are
monsters who want to kill me." He gave a weak chuckle. Were not monsters, Angel whispered, leaning
in closer and licking Xanders jugular. Were just trying to keep
you alive and giving you what you really want. "Dont remember a barn in any
of those dreams," Xander said in a choked whisper. "But if we have to
do this its
okay if I enjoy it right?" I
know youll
enjoy it,
Angel answered and changed into game face.
He dragged his fangs along Xanders skin before sinking them into the
sensitive flesh. "Oh,
fuck," Xander moaned. He wasnt even aware he was pulling Angel
closer to him and rubbing against Spike. Both of them had starred in a few of
the fantasies he had made sure no one every found out about. He knew he should
feel guilty about what was happening, but after the last few days he couldnt really bring himself to
care. He'd always suspected feeding could be good, but he hadn't imagined it
could be this good. Spikes hand wandered over to
Angels
body he fed. He couldnt help it if he found his
Sire's feeding a turn on. Even though Dru had turned him, it was Angelus that
had been there training him all those years. Seeing Angel like this was
bringing back memories that the soul didn't like, but still reminded him of
better times, when he'd had a family. "Clear
a space for him," Angel growled after pulling Spike into a kiss. Xander
seemed too overwhelmed to talk so Angel could take his attention away from him
for a minute. Xander
watched as Angel and Spike kissed, noticing that it was his own blood that
stained their mouths. He also noticed
that it was Spike who moaned low when Angel took control of the kiss. Spike
gave Angel a wicked look and headed to spread out his duster and Angels coat over some hay.
"Better not let his mind wander. Hell start babbling again," he
said over his shoulder. By
the time were
done with him, hell be quiet enough. Angel chuckled, but leaned in and
kissed Xanders
mouth all the same. "He was so good at hiding what he wanted all those
years. I never really knew he wanted this before," Angel said. "You
didn't live with him, Sire. Always figured it was just some curiosity that would
end with me getting staked, and not in a good way," Spike said.
"Wondering if that's all it was though." Xander
let Angel pull him over to the bed Spike had made for them. He wasnt too out of it to see
the slightly left out look on Spikes face, and reached out to grab his
shirt and pull him down as Angel laid him down. Somehow they all ended up in a
pile on the coats. Spike
knew it was his turn to mark the whelp.
He maneuvered around Xander so that his mark was placed opposite Angel's
mark on the boy's neck. He knew Xander would soon be begging for more. "Wanker,"
Spike mumbled when Angel grabbed his wrist and bit it, using the blood to start
lubing Xander. "Dont forget you have a soul now." Just
because I have a soul doesnt mean I dont know how to have fun, Angel answered with a slight
leer. Youre just jealous because you want
more attention
William. A
glare was the only answer Spike gave Angel before bending down to kiss Xander. He
knew the poof would be too distracted to stop him from having a bit of fun. He
could feel the girls now too and knew they did need to keep things moving
along. Xander
moaned when he felt Spikes hand sneak down and start to work at his erection. The feelings and sensations were so
overwhelming. It was happening so fast,
but he didnt
want it to end either. "Not
too fast, Spike. We want to make sure he enjoys himself." Angel shifted
Xanders
legs up onto his shoulders as he talked and positioned himself to push into
Xander. "Cant let him think about this too much or hell resist because he
thinks he should," Angel added in a whisper pitched low enough that only
Spike could hear him. He
had to give Angel credit for knowing what he was doing. Spike knew from experience what miracles
Angel could pull of with just his cock and fangs alone. Know this, he slowed the amount of blood he
was taking to a mere trickle. Xander
thrashed around briefly when he felt Angels cock pressing into him slowly.
"Wait, guys, I thought you were just going to bite me. Do we have to do
this too?" Shush,
pet,
Angel said, pushing in further. I can smell that you want
this. "No,
Im not supposed to do
this," Xander protested, not realizing he was starting to push back against
Angel. But
you do,
Angel countered and pushed all the way in. You love it. "Xander,
no ones
gonna be mad at you. Dont really have a choice here so you may as well enjoy it
because its
going to happen either way," Spike said. For all Angels skill in bed, he could
be clueless about what drove people. Xander
cried out when Angel started to thrust into him and arched up. But hes right. I do want this
he said, shaking his
head. He closed his eyes tight and
nearly sobbed. "Nothing
wrong with enjoying yourself is there? Poof and I both got souls and were enjoying ourselves.
Just let it go and Im sure his broodiness will want to talk it out in detail
later," Spike said. He didnt gave Xander a chance to answer,
pulling him into a kiss. Xander gave a full body shudder and a
groan as he gave in. He could feel the
marks on his neck tingling and Angel taking him. He couldnt fight against two powerful vampires who made him feel like
this so it wasn't really his fault. He decided to just try to enjoy it guilt
free until they got back and it all ended. Angel
could feel Xanders surrender and started pushing in a little faster. He was
showing far more patience then normal, but he knew if he went slow enough it
would make up for the lack of stretching. He let Spike keep Xander distracted
until he was all the way in, then pushed Spike to the side so he could bite
into the claim mark he had made minutes ago. It
was too much for Xander to take and he came when Angel sank his fang into his
flesh. Angel was everything to him for
a burning moment. "Responsive,
isnt
he?" Spike noted as he watched, hands reaching out to touch both of them.
He wasnt
happy about being pushed aside at Angels whim, but he knew better then to
raise a stink about it when it was going to be his turn next. Angel
waited until he came before he answered.
Yes,
responsive, but what about his stamina? Spike
smirked as he took Angels place. "Spent enough time in the basement when the
demon chit was training him to give her orgasms on demand, didnt I? Hes probably the only human
around that can match a vampire for stamina." So
he already has demon training to be a pet, Angel noted, watching Spike enjoy
himself and Xander whimper. "Naw,
she was just interested in sex," Spike said. He was done teasing Xander
and started sinking in slowly. "Hes not just a pet either. We gotta
treat him that way around the girls, but its gonna take him some time to get
used to things." Oh,
he does have stamina indeed, Angel said, reaching out to grasp Xanders still hard cock. The boy was completely out of it and living
in the moment. Spike
grunted and ignored Angel and just enjoyed having a willing Xander at last. He
made sure to keep Xander on the brink the whole time. The girls were getting
close and it would be best if Xander were in a post-orgasmic haze when they
showed up. Spike
could have drawn it out longer, but the whelp looked like he was on the verge
of passing out. What Spike didnt count on was Angel biting
into his neck just before he was about to cum. Spike
arched back into Angels bite while pushing forward into Xander at the same time
and came with a howl that could probably be heard for miles around. He felt
Xander cumming at the same time and slumped forward, blanketing him. Darla
and Drucilla came into the barn to find Spike still slumped over Xander and
Angel caressing Spikes hair. As he felt
them come closer, he had let his demon closer to the surface. He had to be their Angelus for now. "What
do you think youre doing just vanishing like that?" Darla hissed as she
took in the sight before her. I
had business to attend to, Angel answered with a cool mask plastered on his face. "Thats your business? Why dont you finish him off so
we can leave. I had plans and were behind schedule now," Darla
said. Williams taken a fancy to him
and Ive
decided to humour him, Angel said, falling easily enough into the Irish lilt he
used to speak with. "The
stars told me about the new toy. They will have known him a long time and
someday Ill
know him too, but right now the pretty one belongs to just Daddy and
William," Dru said from where she was hanging back from everyone. When
Darla turned to look at Xander again, Dru put a finger to her lips and
whispered, "Its a secret." One
of the reasons Darla tolerated Dru was her ability of precognition that she had
come to respect. Angelus belongs to me and
so does everything he owns. "Not
the pretty boy. The stars will be mad if you touch him. I cant even touch him
yet," Dru answered. Are
you telling me what I can and cant do, girl? Darla asked. Spike
was busy ignoring the discussion while getting Xander dressed again. As soon as
he heard Dru saying the stars wanted Xander left alone he knew things would
work out even if it took some shouting to get there. Xander was still in a
sex-induced haze and he had to struggle to get some clothes back on. At least
there hadnt
been any comment on them yet. You
know she isnt,
Sire,
Angel answered for Dru. Now that he
knew Dru wasnt a
real threat, he was just going to have to handle Darla until they could figure
out a way to get home. "Dont worry, mommy. Ill play with you while
daddy and Spike play with the toy." Dru moved over to rub against Darla while
she was talking. "Spike wont play with me anymore anyway." Darla
looked from Dru, to look at Angel and then Spike. What did you two do to your hair? And where did you get that strange clothing? I hope you're not playing with the gypsies
again. Such common blood. Spike
was paying enough attention to snicker at Darlas comment about the gypsies.
"Had to disguise ourselves, didnt we? Need to get out of here now.
Get some new clothes when we get to wherever were going." Will
anyone come looking for the boy? Darla asked. She sounded annoyed, but she was never one
to ignore small details. If he posed
even the smallest threat, she would do away with him. "No,
theres no
one left to look for him," Angel answered as he helped Spike lift Xander up
and started carrying him out. He knew Darla would take that to mean he'd killed
anyone who could be looking for the boy. <><><><><><> Forgot
what it was like to go to a custom tailor, Spike said to Angel quietly before
awkwardly adjusted his new clothing. And also forgot how
uncomfortable they are. "Hey,
these are nicer then most the clothes I've had," Xander whispered. Hed only really woken up
the night after he had been claimed and Angel had hustled him and Spike off to
get new clothes before the girls could talk to him. Youre lucky were letting you have
clothes, pet,
Spike leered at him. Most pets dont. Xander
looked around quickly to make sure they were still alone, he knew he didnt want to have Darla
pissed at him. "Im not your fucking pet," he hissed. "Were just playing a part so
I dont
get eaten by your girlfriends before we can get home." Thats not the way I remember
it, pet, Spike chuckled, over emphasizing the nickname again. I remember a lot of moaning
submissive behaviour
"Anyone
would have been moaning in that situation and its not like I was gonna fight the one
thing that had a shot at keeping me alive," Xander rationalized. "If
you think Im
gotta act like a pet when no ones around or parade around naked youre crazy." Hes been called worse then
crazy,
Angel interrupted their banter. And we have to talk about how
exactly youre
going to act. "Im not stupid Angel. I
have to be all polite and shit when Darlas around. You two just dont tell me to do anything
stupid and well
be fine," Xander said. Its more than that, Angel shook his
head. Spike, I thought you said the boy
would know what a pet does. "Oh,
he knows, Sire. He just doesnt want to do more then pretend hes a pet when he has
to." Angel
walked up behind Xander and traced his finger along Xanders neck, circling the
double marks there. He smiled when he
felt Xander shiver. You know you have to
anticipate our needs, dont you? "Fuck,
why do you have to do that while were alone?" Xander moaned.
"Im
not supposed to be doing this unless I have to." Because
you never know when the ladies could show up, Angel returned. The key of being a good
liar is consistency. "Thats just an excuse to try
to get some," Xander said. He knew he wasn't going to hold out much longer
with both of them so close and Angels finger touching the bite mark. If
he put up at least some fight though he could still tell himself he was trying
to do the right thing. Hes playing Angelus now, Spike pointed out. He could get some wherever he
wanted. "Im not some game to amuse
you both while were here," Xander snapped, starting to lose the rush of
lust Angel had engendered. "You two have practice getting past the crappy
stuff youve
done in the past, but Im gonna have to deal with this when we get back and you two
go back to hating me." Angel
glared at Spike, wanting him to shut up.
He could sense Xanders small amount of willingness slipping away. He also knew it was out of character to be
seducing the boy, but he was strangely drawn to him. It had started as a way to protect him from Darla and Dru, but
the call he felt was too strong to ignore. Honestly, Xander had always had the
potential to attract him even if he'd stopped actively trying to annoy him. "Not
gonna hate you when we get back, Xander. Youll still belong to us," Spike
answered while ignoring his Sires increasingly pissed off glare. IF
we get
back,
Xander corrected. Belonging to someone
didnt
sound so bad. For a while it had been
kinda like that with Anya, but she had gotten tired of him too, and she was
dead now. There was a whole lot of IFs
in Xanders
life. If they got back, would get to
keep his eye? If he gave into the
feelings bubbling up inside of him, would he completely loose himself? "Either
way, you belong to us now and well take care of you," Angel
said. Hed
felt Xanders
apprehension lessen a little with both their statements and allowed himself a
grin. Xander seemed to have move to worrying more about Angel and Spike
changing their mind then about what they were doing. That could be taken care
of with a little time. He bent down and licked over his claim mark on Xanders neck. They take the
time to work on his other problems later, but there had been enough talking for
now. Angel
Xander moaned
softly. He really did try to stop
himself from titling his head to the side to allow Angel better access. He kept trying to tell himself that he hated
Angel and Spike. After another moan, a
little voice in his head corrected that hate was such a strong word
maybe dislike was
more appropriate. "What
the
"
Spike exclaimed as Angels flashed out and grabbed Spike, pulling him up next to
Xander. "Thought his poofiness would want to talk more," Spike
muttered before starting to lick the claim mark he had placed on Xander. Call
me a poof one more time and Ill let Xander fuck you, Angel warned with a growl. Spike was still thinking like a Master
Vampire and had to remember that to Darla, he was merely a dependent fledgling. Spike
raised his head with a glint in his eyes. "Poof, you dont want me calling you
poof? What poofy word should I call you then, poof?" Alright,
Xander gets to fuck you four times then, Angel leered very coolly. "You
think youre up
for that, Xan?" Spike asked, staring at Xanders shocked expression.
"Four times is probably too much for a human to do in one go, but Im sure the poof will let
you do it over a few days. Maybe we can even find out what name gets him to
fuck me." Xanders expression turned from
shocked to stubborn. When Spike had lived with him, their had always been
banter and confrontations that make Xanders blood boil. In a weird way, he and
Spike had been most comfortable in those moments. Are you challenging me,
blondie? You
get to fuck him whenever I give you permission, Angel said before Spike could make
another comment. He was trying to
decide whom he would fuck first after they were done with each other. Xander
went willingly when Spike pulled him away from Angel. That little voice in the
back of his head was still nagging that he shouldnt be doing this, but hed decided to ignore it
for now. Spikes kiss was just too distracting to worry about anything
else. Spike
likes to be fucked, Angel said, watching Xander and Spike kiss. Smiling when they started to fondle each
other. "Quiet,
Deadboy," Xander said as he and Spike started to pull each others clothes off. Each beat
of his heart seemed to pulse against the claim marks, causing heat to flare
over his body. He knew fucking Spike would cool him off and he didnt want Angel screwing
things up. Angelus
would have struck Xander for talking back to him in that tone, but it merely
caused Angel to smile. Angelus would have wanted a pet that submitted
completely and utterly, but Angel wanted someone that would provide some
challenge and excitement. Conversation
stopped as the last of Spike and Xanders clothes were discarded. Spike was
making sure to lick his claim mark every few minutes to keep Xander from
thinking too much. He thought he might have overdone it a bit when Xander
backed them up and started rubbing against Angel. He decided to ignore it
though when Xander's attention didn't waiver. Need
some stuff,
Xander mumbled between kisses. "Gotta
learn to do it the vampire way," Angel said as Spike took the hint and got
down on all fours. Angel guided Xander behind him and bit his wrist, using the
blood to coat Xander and loosen Spike up just enough to keep Xander from
worrying about hurting him. Cant get used to the blood
Xander muttered, almost
in denial, but all the same he found himself leaning over and licking a swipe
of blood off of Spikes lower back. "Thats it, Xander," Angel
whispered. "Hes all ready for you, just push forward a little." Angel
was using one hand to start unfastening his pants while talking. He had decided
to take Xander while he was fucking Spike then have his boys switch positions. Never
done this before
Xander said in a shaky voice, pushing into Spike. Of course, his first time ever being with a
man had been when Spike and Angel fucked him in the barn. In the bigger picture, this was nothing
strange. Spike
bucked back into Xander as soon as he felt the boy get almost halfway in. He
knew he was moaning like a poof, but it felt so good to have a warm cock inside
him again. He hadnt done this since hed gotten to Sunnydale and he hadnt realized how much he
missed it. Xander
felt some of the power coming back that he felt he had lost since jumping back in
time. Spike liked this and was under
Xanders
control, even if marginally. He smiled
evilly and slammed his cock hard into Spike. Angel
saw the smirk on Xanders face and quickly smeared some blood over his own cock.
Spike liked getting fucked entirely too much and Angel didnt want Xander to get the
wrong idea about his place in their little family. He grabbed Xanders hips and pulled him
slowly back onto his cock. Xander
cried out loudly at the duel stimulation.
It didnt feel like he was fucking Spike anymore, instead it felt
like Angel was fucking both of them. It
was the thrusts of Angels hips that drove his own cock into Spike. It
didnt
take long for Xander to cum. He tensed for a minute them slumped forward onto
Spike. In some corner of his mind he realized it was a good thing Spike was a
vampire or he wouldnt have been able to hold himself up with Xander being fucked
on top of him. Stay
hard,
Angel hissed the command, continuing to pump into Xander. "Give
him some blood, wanker. He is still human, you know," Spike
groused. Xander had a good pace going until Angel drove him over the edge. Angel
made plans to punish Spike later for his impudence, but decided the blood was a
good idea. He torn open a small wound
and held his wrist up to Xanders mouth. Drink, pet. Xander
was too far gone to even put up a token protest before he sucked on Angels wrist. He felt himself
start to harden almost immediately even though he kept his post orgasm
mellowness. The
feel of Xanders tongue on his flesh and the soft pull of blood out of his
body was enough to send Angel over the edge.
He leaned over and bit Xander in his still healing claim mark as he
came. "Spike,
you need to remember your place too, and if you dont stop questioning me Im going to take Xander
again while you watch instead of putting you between us," Angel answered,
still in game face. Normally
Spike would have said something snarky to Angel, but it had been decades since
his Sire had fucked him and he wasnt about to give that up. He could tell him off afterwards, but right
now he would keep his mouth shut to get his ass filled. Xander
was still moaning and grinding himself against the bed after Angel draped him
there. Hed
been pulled out of Spike before he had come again. He stilled when cool hands
grasped his hips and he felt a cock pressing into him. A tiny giggle escaped
him when he realized it was Spike. This time he was aware enough to realize
Spike was a little bigger then Angel. Know
what youre
thinking, mate, Spike whispered to Xander.
Dont say anything because
Peaches is mighty touchy about it and I still need a good shag. Angel
couldnt
quite hear what Spike had whispered, they were good about knowing just what the
other could hear. He had heard Xanders giggle and he was sure the boy was
giggling about Spike being bigger. That one fact had ended up causing half of
Spikes
problems as he was trained. Angel thrust into Spike quickly, hoping that the
subject wouldnt be raised later if he made sure both his boys were
exhausted. He knew bringing it up directly was far more trouble then it was
worth. Since
he had already cum once before, Angel was able to draw it out much longer until
Spike was shaking and begging to cum. Angel
smiled, gratified he still had the ability to turn Spike into a quivering mass. "Damn
it, Angel, stop trying to torture me," Spike finally hissed. "Let us
cum and Ill
be quiet for an hour." He knew Xander was going as crazy as he was and
that silence would be the one bribe that might convince Angel to stop trying to
drag this out. The
temptation of a quiet Spike and the lure of his neck were an immense
persuasion. Angel leaned over and bit
Spike deeply in his shoulder, riding the sexual and blood high. Spike
immediately bit into his claim mark on Xander and brought the two of them over
the edge right after Angel. Rolling to the side, Spike made sure he was wedged
between Angel and Xander as they all drifted in the afterglow. <><><><><><> Darla
waved her fan over her face, her eyes darting over the crowd with the gaze of a
huntress. She loved the hunt and there
was nothing like hunting amongst the noble bloodlines of Europe. Her childe had been reluctant to go out
hunting and her suspicions were raised even further. Angelus had always been her favourite with his cruel streak and
passion. Now he was far too interested
in that William and their new toy. That
toy was dressed up in clothes that she knew Angel and Spike had picked out for
him. She had insisted that they all go
hunting together and the boys wouldnt leave their pet alone. So they had brought him along and now he was
hiding behind Angelus, trying to avoid the stares of the minor nobles around
the room. Xander
was fighting not to say anything. He knew he wasnt supposed to be talking where Darla
could hear him, but he knew this was not going to end well. Darla was here to
feed and he didnt think either Spike or Angel would be able to go through
with it. Angel had insisted he could protect them from Darla if needed. Due to
the time travel he was significantly older then her now, but they had to be
careful what they changed in the past. Xander glared at Darla when she wasnt looking. He wouldnt mind killing her to
save Jesse in the future even if it did mess some stuff up. Spike
cuffed Xander lightly on the back of the head.
Dont stare at her like that,
shell
think its a
challenge,
Spike hissed. Dont act like a proper pet,
do you? "Yes,
Master," Xander answered in a soft voice that still managed to drip
sarcasm. He didnt dare say what he was thinking in the middle of a party
with Darlas
senses poised for the hunt, and the enforced silence was pissing him off. Spike
couldnt
help a slight shiver when Xander called him Master, even if the boy didnt mean it. Say it again, Spike demanded with a
soft hiss. Xander
made sure he was facing Spike so no one could see him and rolled his eyes as he
said "Yes, Master." Spike
moved closer, ignoring Xanders sarcastic and leaned in.
He pushed down Xanders starched collar and started to lick the claim marks. Not
going to react, not going to react, Xander chanted silently to himself.
When that stopped working, he focused on exactly how he wanted to tell Spike
off when they were alone. Treating him like some toy in front of a roomful of
people. You
make me mad,
Spike mumbled against Xanders skin. His hand was
working into Xander vest, caressing against the soft silk Angel had insisted
upon. "Control
yourself, Childe," Angel said, suddenly appearing from the crowd. He
pulled Xander away from Spike. He knew that there would be a limit with what
Xander would take and Spike would keep pushing until that limit was reached and
they were all in trouble. Im hungry, Spike growled at
Angel. They had only drunk from Xander
since theyd gotten here, but now that they were out hunting, the
hunger was getting worse. His soul
meant he wouldnt be hunting tonight, no matter what Darla said, and he
wanted blood. "Then
youll
find a cow somewhere later. You know he cant feed us both all the time,"
Angel said. "Now go play your part for a while. Im going to feed the pet
while there is still food laid out." Hey,
I have a name, Xander protested under his breath. He found it hard to always play the part and
this was the first time they had been in public in the few short days they had
been in the past. "Not
in public," Angel said firmly. He kept a possessive hand on Xanders shoulder as he guided
him to a table full of food. "Just behave yourself." Xander
decided to play up his pet persona, just to drive Angel nuts. He pushed out his lip and actually
pouted. I always behave myself. "Ive had a lot more
experience at this then Spike, boy. Your little games wont work on me, but they
will have repercussions later." He tightened his hand on Xanders shoulder just enough to
start to sting before releasing him at the table. "Eat quickly." Xander
looked uncertainly at the food, recognizing some of it and others looking very
unappetizing. I dont know where to start, Xander complained. "Im trying to make this
easy, but youre
going to end up eating from my hand in a minute, boy. Youre just as bad as Spike
was," Angel said. Spike? Xander muttered and
snorted softly. Spike never makes anything easy, but at least hes always been able to
stand up to you. "Stay
here and eat," Angel said, ignoring him. "If I dont think youve eaten enough by the
time I get back Ill feed you the most disgusting food I can find here."
He was walking away as he talked. Darla had been trying to catch his eye and he
couldnt
put her off any longer. Angelus,
my darling,
Darla said as she saw her Childe approach.
She held out her hand, knowing he would kiss it. Its nice to see youve decided to spend a few
scant moments with your Sire. "Little
William is not ready to handle the pet by himself. If I leave the two of them
alone hed
end up doing something stupid. I know you wouldnt want that while there are others
around." Angel inclined his head at a few of the other vampires in
attendance. He knew Darlas preoccupation with status and appearance would distract
her. Hes such a fickle
fledgling,
Darla said, with a flick of her fan in his general direction. Xander was picking away at the food table
and Spike was starring at him. His
glare was more than enough to keep any interested parties away from
Xander. It was only last week he was
infatuated with Drucilla, then you and now this
thing. "Nothing
keeps Drucillas attention for long. I made sure she couldnt hold a thought."
Angel forced a note of pride into his voice. "Its best hes not too fixated on her
anyway." Because
you want him for yourself? Darla asked coldly.
She had always been jealous of the way Angel had taken to the new
fledge, stealing the boy away from Drucilla.
William never would have lasted if Angel hadn't taken him under his
wing. "Hes more my Childe then
hers." Angel said with a shrug. "He has potential though, and I like
having someone male around." Hell never be strong enough
to be on his own, Darla noted. Hes too much of a lap dog. "Hell be a Master someday,
but for now I need to get back to the pet. William and I will go hunting on our
own later tonight." Angel bowed slightly to Darla. "Good
hunting." Angelus, Darla said as Angel
finished the bow. Never forget your first loyalty is to me. Were forever, Childe. Everyone else is a simple distraction that I
permit. Angel
bit back the retort he desperately wanted to make. He knew in a few years shed be deserting him
because of a curse that was her fault. He knew he hadnt totally kept his
feelings to himself when her glare increased in intensity and he quickly made
his escape. <><><><><><> You
look like a real git in those clothes without the long hair, Spike commented as they
crouched down in the bushes outside of a local farm. Angel
scented the air and listened for any sounds of humans. Somehow hunting cows was
far more embarrassing then drinking bagged bovine blood. He didnt want anyone, human or
vampire, to see them feeding. I
know what youre
thinking,
Spike said conversationally. His Sire
had always been moody and silent when he was hunting. At least its better than rats. "Lets just do this. I think
theres
going to be a lot of things about this trip that we never tell anyone and this
is the top of the list." With that Angel darted out into the field. Back
in the mansion the vampires were currently calling home, Xander was hiding in
the rooms he shared officially with Spike.
He had wanted to go out with them, but Angel had insisted he would be
safer in their lair. Without television
or even radio, he was bored as hell. He
was broken out of his contemplation by the sound of someone trying to open the
door. The door Angel had locked. The door that suddenly fell open as something
forced it off its hinges. "Fuck," Xander said, scrambling back and
looking for a stake when he saw Darla standing there. Never
lock a door in my home, human, Darla instructed coldly. "Angel
us locked it,"
Xander answered. He was trying desperately to remember what Angel had told him
about dealing with Darla. "He didnt want me wandering around." A
good pet would stay put where he was told, Darla said and walked a little closer, her
taffeta skirts rustling. Arent you a good pet? "Thats why I was being all
good and quiet in here waiting for them to get back," Xander said, backing
up a little more. I
dont
like you, human, Darla said. Theres something funny about
you. "Nothing
funny about me
just Angelus and Spikes good little vampire pet. They
wanted me to rest up before they got back which should be soon," Xander
said. Do
you want to be turned, little treat? Darla asked, changing into game
face. "No,
no turning for me. They, they like me human you know." While he was
talking, Xanders eyes were darting around, looking for something he could
use as a stake. If it came down to it, hed kill the bitch and take his
chances that it wouldnt mess up the future too much. Mommy! Dru called out from the
doorway. Youre not supposed to the
hurt the pretty toy. His guardian angel
wouldnt be
happy. Xander
remembered Spike telling him that Dru never remembered anything for more then a
few days and realized that was a good thing because somehow she seemed to know
everything that was going on. He hadnt missed the extra inflection shed put in angel when she said it. He was
sure she knew that it was Angel here now not Angelus. He kept quiet, hoping shed be able to get Darla to
back off. Im busy, you silly girl, Darla hissed. One of the reasons she tolerated William was
that he distracted Drucilla from annoying her. "Bad
things will happen. I see blood everywhere if you touch him now. Hell be gone soon. The
stars said he cant stay with us. Daddy will make him go away." Dru was
giggling as she talked. Darla
smiled and licked her fangs, taking the pronouncement to mean that her Childe
would kill Xander soon. My dear Angelus has
always been fickle. Very well, Ill let him enjoy his toy
until he tires of it. Dru
waited until Darla had left before walking over to Xander. "Tell daddy I
was a good girl," she said before twirling around and heading back out of
the room. Xander
breathed a sigh of relief and shut the door as much as he could. He had just
gotten finished pulling off one of the cross braces on a chair to sharpen as a
stake then he heard Willows voice faintly calling his name. "Willow? Is that you?
Did you get stuck back here too somehow?" he asked the empty room. "Xander
" Willow's voice
called out more strongly. "Yeah,
its
me," he answered. Where
are you, Xander? Willow asked. "Um,
England, long time ago, hoping Darla doesnt come back before Angel and Spike.
You happen to be about to bring me home? Oh, and its good to hear you even
if you cant
get me out of here." We
were able to open a minuscule portal large enough to communicate through, Willow answered. Were working on stabilizing
the portal and making it big enough to transport a human through. "Human
and two vampires. Hey are the non-souled Angel and Spike up there with you
all?" Xander asked. No
Willow answered after a
moments
hesitation. Thank the goddess. "So,
um do you have to go right away or do you have time to tell me what happened
after we vanished?" Xander settled back on the bed and just listened to
Willow babble on about what had happened after they escaped from Sunnydale. He
didnt even
notice when Angel and Spike came through the door, but he definitely noticed
the low growls coming from each of them. "Hey guys, I got
." Xander
didnt
get a chance to finish his sentence before he was pounced by two very horny
vampires. He wasnt sure exactly how they
stripped him so fast, but the next thing he knew, he was naked. "Um,
guys, now isnt
." Next time his
mouth was free Xander called out a little louder. "Are you still there and
if you are please tell me you cant hear anything because
" Whos trying to kill you? Willow asked alarmingly. Willows questions got Xander to
cut off the moans caused by two vampires trying to get his attention. "Not
killing, dont do
any spell, can you call back later, like and hour and then talk to all three of
us?" Xander knew his voice squeaked a few times as Angel pushed Spikes head onto Xanders cock. The Angel licking
the claim mark thing wasnt helping either. Apparently
vampires werent at their most verbal after a hunt. Angel didnt register the meaning of the words
Xander was babbling, only that he was talking too much. He solved that problem by straddling Xanders chest and pushing his
erection into Xanders mouth. Willow
hadnt
been with a guy in a while but some sounds were unmistakable. "Alexander
LaVelle Harris, are you sucking Angel or Spike off instead of talking to me?"
she shouted, forgetting that while the Scoobies grouped around her couldnt hear what was going on
they could hear her. <><><><><><> Buffy
slapped her hands over Dawns ears and shrieked, What? "Shh,
this is kinda like watching the naughty channels that are scrambled and you cant see anything just hear
." she trailed off
with her head cocked to the side. "Hmm, I wonder if harder means fuck me harder or spank me harder." Willow,
watch your language, Giles scolded, taking off his glasses and moping the sweat
beads on his forehead. "I
know, I know," Willow said as she ended the spell with a gesture. It was
nice to be able to do magic again without worry. Empowering the slayers had
cleaned out the remnants of dark magic in her. "I just wanted to make sure
he was okay. He said theyd be done in a bout an hour and we could talk to all three
of them then." Dawn
was still trying to get Buffys hands off her ears when Buffy asked, Are you sure you didnt tune into some warped
porno alternative universe? "Buffy,
if all three of them ended up in the past, with Darla and Dru they would have
to find a way to protect Xander without killing them and changing history,"
Giles said. "Having him as a pet would be the easiest way and they most
likely just have gotten too far into character." A
pet?
Buffy gaped at Giles. Xander? "It
was fairly obvious that Angel was interested in him and I always wondered about
Spike. Plus, as I said, it would have been the easiest way to protect him from
Darla. We need to see if there is some way to help them until we can pull them
all back. Did Xander sound okay before the others showed up?" Giles asked
Willow. It
sounded like he was having some troubles with Darla, Willow told him. He didnt mention Drucilla or
anyone else. "Well
we better find a way to get him back soon," Buffy said with a grin.
"As soon as I make sure hes alright Im going to give him such a hard time. I need to write down
every insult he ever thought up for me and Angel or me and Spike." And
lets
just hope he does nothing to corrupt the time line, Giles added. Willow, tell him that well do everything we can
do to get them back as soon as possible. "In
an hour. Im
not listening in until then," Willow said as she settled down to read over
more of the books Giles had gotten to research how to get Xander back. <><><><><><> Xander
lightly stroked the bite marks on his thigh and wondered if he wanted to get
them healed right away. Even though
Spike and Angel hadnt needed to feed, they had both bitten him in a variety of
different places when they came. For
his part Angel was sprawled out on the bed with one of his boys on either side.
It took time for him to focus after feeding with William and fucking their pet,
but finally his mind cleared some. "Xander, who were you talking to when
we came in?" Willow, Xander answered. She should be contacting me anytime
now. The
smirk was evident in Spikes voice even though they couldnt see his face. "We
scare her off, pet? I thought you felt a little hesitant at first." For
a lesbian, she knew surprisingly well what we were doing, Xander groaned. And who knows what she said with the
others listening. "Good,"
Angel said firmly. "This way you dont have to worry about them finding
out when we get back, or worry about explaining why you and Spike are staying
with me." Well be staying with you? Xander asked with
surprise. "The
poof takes possessive to new heights even with the soul in place," Spike
said. "Not much point in worrying about it until were out of here. So Red
know how to pull us home?" Theyre working on it, Xander said, a smirk
apparent on his lips. You called him poof
you know what that
means. Somehow
I think that threat was the wrong thing to say if I wanted him to stop using
name,
Angel said with a sigh as Spike chuckled evilly. "Right now youre going to tell us what
happened while we were gone and wait for Willow to come back." For
starters, youre
scary girlfriend broke down the door and threatened to turn me, Xander answered. "You
dont
look turned or hurt, pet. Howd you get her to leave you alone?" Spike asked. Drucilla
stopped her,
Xander said and looked at Spike. He
remember how much the vampire had loved her.
Shes crazy, but nice in a
scary sort of way. "Dru
knows we dont
belong here, but if it comes down to it she cant protect you from a determined
Darla," Spike said. "From now on, one of us will stay with you all
the time." Could
be fun
Xander hedged and then started to move his hand randomly on Angels chest. Suppose since Im in the past, I should
do something educational. Angel
ignored Spikes
comment about what would be educational and smiled at Xander. "We could go
explore town just after sunset tomorrow. Might be a good idea to get you out of
the house anyway." Its be nice to see the way
you used to live, Xander answered truthfully. Because it was such a long
long
LONG time ago. Spike
started to make a comment and was cut off when Xander pressed a finger against
his lips. At the same time Xander was saying, "Hi, Willow." Are
you all done now? Willow asked. You sound somewhat normal. "Yeah,
we were just talking about going into town and letting me explore life in the
past before you find a way to pull us home," Xander said. "Plus, I
think Angel wants to get me away from Darla." Getting
away from that stake bait is a good plan, Will answered. But we need you to do some things on
your end of the portal to stabilize it. Xander
bit back a moan as Angel started to nuzzle his neck. "What do you need us
to do?" he asked. Not
you
Spike,
Will said. It involves a small
strengthening spell that needs to be cast on your side of the portal to
stabilize. Considering whom Im dealing with, Spikes the best one to deal
with magic. I dont even want to think of
the damage either you or Angel could do. Spike
got a strange look on his face after Xander relayed that. "Not that I dont trust, Red, but Im dead up in the future.
Ask her if I go back to dust, and if you go back to missing an eye." Spike
said to Xander. Willow
apparently could hear what Spike was saying, just not speak directly to
him. Tell Spike that because you both
pulled into the past as the Hellmouth imploded, the magic somehow restored
small things like missing eyes and death. Xanders brain kinda went into
autopilot as he relayed Willows instructions to Spike. He couldnt really follow any of it
anyway. He moved to sit in Angels lap and started kissing him, just
pulling away to pass comments to Spike. Spike
had moved off the bed and was scribbling down a list of ingredients he would
need onto a sheet of parchment. Angel
had to smile seeing Spike leaning over an inkwell again and seeing the ink
staining his fingers. It reminded of
him when William used to write poetry for hours under the candlelight. "Hey,
Im a little busy
here," Xander blurted out all the sudden. Hed ignored something Willow had said
and now she was yelling at him and Angel was growling, thinking the comment was
meant for him. "No, not you, Angel. I didnt want you to stop, and Willow, just
repeat that and Ill tell Spike. You two were doing the witch stuff and I got
bored, okay." Xander,
stop thinking like a horn dog, Willow scolded. This important. Just tell Spike that he had to get rat
testicles and then you can go back to teasing Angel. "Spike,
Willow said to make sure you get rat nuts," Xander said loudly.
"Sorry, Willow, I know youre trying to help, but
its easy to get distracted by
Angel." Tell
the witch to fuck off, Angel growled, suddenly wishing for the ease of the modern
day zipper. Spike, go hunt down some
rats
"Right,
Ill just trot off to hunt
down all this shit and leave you here to shag my pet. Stupid poof, were all going to get this
stuff and show Xan a bit of this century at the same time," Spike said as
he folded up the list after making sure it was dry. But
Im hard
Xander protested,
wiggling even more in Angels lap, hoping to provoke the vampire enough to get his
way. And I dont want to have to put on
the stupid cravat. "Not
really up to you is it, pet," Angel said smoothly as he ran his hands over
Xanders
body one more time. "Time to get dressed and show you off in town."
Angel wasnt
sure how, but there had to be someway to get Xander to want to continue this
after they returned. He didnt want to count on just the call of the blood theyd exchanged, as he wasnt sure that bond would
survive the trip through time. <><><><><><> Xander
was highly distracted with Spike nuzzling the front of his neck and Angel
lightly attacking the back of his neck.
Spike pulled away with a distasteful growl. Its time for a shave, luv.
Like kissing a bloody sheep. "Sorry,
didnt
pack my Norelco," Xander said, trying to pull Spike back into what he was
doing. Angel
stopped kissing Xander and said as he ran his hand over Xanders chin, I have to agree with
Spike. Time to shave. Well just have to use tried and true
measures. "Umm,
guys, what exactly are we talking about here?" Xander asked. Ever
heard of a straight razor? Spike asks with a wicked grin. Angel
could feel Xander tense at that. "You trust us to take care of you, dont you?" he asked in
a husky whisper. "We used to shave each other during this time. Wont hurt you at all." Xander
groaned softly, leaning back against Angel.
But
you havent
used one in like a hundred years
Xander tried to protest once more. "I
still use one to shave and Im sure Spike does, too," Angel whispered. "Its the only way to get a
really close shave." While he was talking, he was running a finger over
Xanders
jaw line. Youre just going to shave my
face right?
Xander asked with a slight quiver in his voice. He wasnt sure how far the vampires would take the pet scenario. "Id like to shave the rest,
pet, but theres not time right now. Maybe later well do it though,"
Spike said. "Youd like us touching you all over while you were all
smooth." Spike shared a grin with Angel while Xanders eyes were closed.
"So, Sire, want me to go get the stuff and we can do it here?" Spike
could handle leaving Xander and Angel alone for a minute if it resulting in
them shaving the boy together. Yes, Angel agreed. That will give me the chance to
undress him. Wouldnt want lather to accidentally get on any of your expensive,
new clothing. Now would we? "But
we just got dressed to go into town," Xander started to complain then cut
off when Angel started licking his claim mark while unbuttoning his clothes. Angel
smiled when Xanders babbling ended into simple whimpering. We need you shaved before I can take
you into town. Cant have my pet looking
like a vagabond. Xander
had to focus to get his thoughts coherent enough to talk so Spike was back in
the room by the time he started talking. "Were not going to be here much longer.
You guys dont
have to keep pretending like this to protect me. I think Dru scared Darla off
enough that Ill
be safe." Weve already discussed
this,
Angel growled. He had stripped Xander and now pulled him back against his
chest. After we get back, youre both coming to live with
me. This isnt a game anymore. "But
but
but neither of you like
me. You just put up with me because of Buffy and Im not just going to a sex
toy for the rest of my life," Xander said, then added under his breath,
"And there is something I never thought Id hear myself say." What
makes you think that we dont like you? Spike asked, glaring at Angel. "Um,
the last seven years, its not a big deal really, Im used to it," Xander said.
From the indignant growling coming from both vampires, he was thinking the
whole line of conversation had been the wrong way to go. Just
gonna have to show you its not true anymore, Spike growled. Arent we, Sire? "Never
was true. You can annoy the hell out of me sometimes, but just because someone
annoys me doesnt mean I hate them. If it did, Spike would be dust by
now," Angel said. Thanks, Spike said dryly to
Angel and then told Xander. I mightve been a right git when
we first met, but the chip and soul thing
lets just say I didnt just stay with you
because I had to. "Well see when we get back,
I guess," Xander said. He liked what they were doing in the name of
getting him ready for a shave and he really didnt want to argue. At the same time he
couldnt
quite bring himself to believe what they were saying. Spike
took out the straight razor and ran it over his palm watching the blood pool up
to his skin with a smile. He held his
hand up to Angel and noted, Its sharp enough. "Um,
Spike, drawing blood with the razor youre about to use on me
not doing much for
calming Xander down," Xander said. "Not that I dont trust you, but still
" He
meant it to tease me, Angel growled lightly and seized Spikes hands, slowly licking
it clean. Hell be much more carefully
with you. "We
tease him enough, pet, and we might not have to go to town. Get a nice shag
instead." Spike pulled his hand away from Angel while he was talking and
started working up a good lather on Xanders face. Angel
leaned in close and whispered in Xanders ear. You cant talk, Xander. Not
even move a bit. Can you be good for
us? "Okay,"
Xander said then squeezed his lips shut and sat perfectly still. Spike
raised the straight razor to Xanders cheek and slowly started to drag
it over the stubble. When he reached
Xanders
chin, he rinsed the blade in a warm basin of water. He repeated the procedure, fighting the urge to just nick Xanders skin a little bit. It would be so tempting to lick it up
Xander
slowly relaxed as Spike shaved him. He was a little surprised it was turning
him on, but the feel of the razor on his skin combined with Spikes focus gaze was doing
him in. He squirmed a little as Spike shifted to start the other side of his
face and felt the razor nick his skin. Oops, Spike purred. Guess, Ill have to heal that for
you. Spike leaned over and started to run his
tongue over the small wound. "Still
going to town," Angel ground out as he started to harden watching Xander
get shaved and Spike licking blood off his face." He
waited until Spike had pulled the straight razor away to speak. Yep, Spikes going to town alright, Xander snorted with a
short laugh, at his own humour. "Pet,
behave," Spike warned. "I want to do this right." Thinks
he wants himself to be cut, Angel said. I think he likes blood
play now. "Which
is a good thing, and there will be plenty of time for that, but first I want to
give him a good shave. If hes a good pet, maybe Ill keep the razor out after were done," Spike
said. Xander
shivered, but kept his mouth shut. It
was sick that he wanted this. He had
tried to resist what he was feeling. Not a pet
he denied softly as the
razor pulled the last stroke off of his face. "Whats wrong with being a
pet?" Angel asked. He knew Xander wanted it, but he kept denying it.
"You know well take care of you and we have souls so we wont be killing people were not supposed to." Its not real
Xander whispered,
closing his eyes. Its all in the past. Youll change your mind when we get
back. Spike will go chasing after Buffy
again
and
well, you'll go back to LA to at least brood
"Slayer
and I said our goodbyes right before I died, pet," Spike said with a
snort. "You dont gotta worry about her. Now, the poof will brood when were back, but he always
broods. Least well both be there to snap him out of it. If I know my Sire he
wont be
able to brood with both of us naked in front of him." Angel
coughed a little uncomfortably, adjusting his tight pants. They could easily make love again, but their
time here was limited and revisiting the past was a unique opportunity. Get dressed, Xander. Youre shaved and its time to go. "See
hes
getting all broody again," Spike whispered. "Just remember that even
when we get back things aint gonna change, pet. You belong with us now." Even
if I loose my eye again? Xander asked. He wanted to see what the limits where. It was only a matter of time before he
screwed this up. "Spike
is right. You belong to us now. No matter what happens on the trip back that
wont
change. Im
not
were not going to give you
up," Angel said. He knew theyd said the right thing when Xander
gave them both a shy, but happy smile. <><><><><><> Spike
preformed the necessary, relatively simple spells that Willow had instructed
him to do through Xander. She had also
explained the portal was unstable and would peak at any time in the next few
days. Angel
watched the spell be put in place and heard there was no set time on when it
would flare. He knew Xander was getting closer to accepting that things would
stay the same in the future, but Angel wasnt sure they had done enough
convincing. As soon as Xander finished the conversation with Willow, Angel
pulled him into his lap. Do
you think the marks will transfer? Xander asked. He hoped they would. It would leave a physical reminder that he
belonged to them and it was more likely he would keep his eye. "Doesnt matter. If they dont stay then well just do it again with
more time to enjoy it," Angel said. Xander
shivered and moaned lightly, Youd have my whole body covered with them, wouldnt you? He tried to make it
sound sarcastic, but it didnt quite work. "Only
the two will be permanent, pet. The rest will heal fast enough," Spike
said as he finished anchoring the portal. He walked over and dragged his
fingers over both claim marks. "So, you think we should go out or stay in,
Angel?" Stay
in,
Angel answered, reaching out to run his fingers over Spikes cheek. Over the short while they had been back,
Angels
protective instincts towards his Childe had increased and he was much more
affectionate. Cant venture too far in case
something goes wrong. "You
mean we have to entertain ourselves?" Xander asked with an obviously fake
pout. Their trip into town had convinced him the past wasnt all that interesting.
He was too used to hygiene and technology to feel anywhere close to comfortable
in town. "Fun before we go back to everyone else is of the good." Got
anything special in mind, pet? Spike asked, licking his lips. "Whatever
you want to do. Ive liked it all so far and I want you to have fun
" Xanders voice trailed off, but
the so
you dont change your mind was pretty obvious to anyone that
knew him at all. Spike
pressed up against Xanders front, knowing Angel would soon press up against his
back. Its nice you want to please us
Spike said, leaning over
to lick the claim marks. Real nice. "And
even when you occasionally annoy us, which I know will happen, well still want you,"
Angel said as he slipped into place. "Its not just sex I want you both for
either. Youll
both be fighting at my side when we get back." Cant be any worse than
Sunnydale,
Xander commented, but secretly it was better than anything he could have
dreamed of himself. <><><><><><> It
was two days later and Angel was starting to wonder if the portal was ever
going to stabilize enough that they could be pulled through. At the moment he
had other things to worry about though. Xander had come out with them when they
fed, Darla was getting more impatient that he was still around and Angel didnt want to leave Xander
behind. The boy had watched them feed off a cow and was barely holding back his
laughter as they got back to the house, which had Spike muttering about pets
that didnt
know their place. Angel was just glad Xander felt comfortable enough not to
worry about making them mad. Xander
was still trying to keep a straight face, but he finally lost it. His straight face cracked into a wide smile
and he looked directly at Spike, then Angel.
Moo! he said and then broke
into uncontrolled laughter. "Bloody
hell, peaches. Whyd you let him see that? Hell be teasing us about that for the
next fifty years," Spike said. While he spoke he prowled towards Xander.
"Just keep it to yourself eh, pet. No need for the Slayer and Giles to
know about our feeding from cows." Normally
Xander would have apologized to them, but he was feeling too good to worry
about it. It felt good to laugh and be carefree
for the first time in what seemed like ages.
The weight of the world wasnt on his shoulders and he had his
eye back, but best of all
he had someone to make him laugh. He looked straight at Spike again and said loudly, Do you prefer Holstein or
Jersey? Oh, and youd better watch out for
that mad cow disease
Spike
sputtered and looked to Angel for help that just made Xander laugh harder. The
room was silent other then his chuckles until he got himself under control.
Grin still in place but laughter gone, he closed the distance to Spike and
walked him back against a wall. "I could make it up to you, Master,"
Xander said when they stopped moving. "Maybe something to take the taste
out of your mouth." He tilted his head to the side, exposing Spikes claim mark more fully. Spike
changed into game face, instantly appreciating this much more aggressive
Xander. And damn the boy for already
knowing that he could manipulate Spike into getting what he wanted by simply
calling him Master. For anything
else, he might have tried to fight Xanders will just to spite him, but they
both wanted this. Angel
watched with a smile and moved to make sure the door was locked before he
started stripping off his clothes. The arousal had started pouring off both his
boys as soon as Spikes fangs had touched had touched Xanders neck, and he was
looking forward to what was to come. Mooooove
over, Spike,
Xander groaned out with a laugh, sounding like a pathetic excuse for a
cow. Make room for Angel. "Watch
it, pet. Keep teasing me like that and Ill have to find some way to keep you
quite," Spike said as he manoeuvred them all onto the bed. That
a promise?
Xander asked, licking his lips. He had
his own ideas of what Spike should gag him with. "Cor,
pet, I think youve got sex on the brain as much as I do. Lets get you out of these
clothes," Spike said. "You've
both got sex on the brain," Angel echoed back. He was already undressed,
but, watching the other two fumble with fastenings, he was looking forward to
the modern convenience and quickness of zippers. All
three of them were naked on the bed, with Xander between them as usual, when a
roaring sound filled the room and a portal flared to life. "Come through
now," Willows voice echoed through the room. "I cant hold it more then a few
more seconds." They
all jumped from the bed and into the swirling, purple mass of clouds and
charged magic. It wasnt until they stumbled
naked onto the floor of the Hyperion where the Scoobies were staying that they
realized they were still naked.
Huddled naked in the middle of the pentagon painted on the floor, they
were surrounded by not only the Scoobies, but also by Angels friends. Xander
yelped and pulled Spike on top of himself as cover. "Blanket or something
now," he said loudly. Spike
for his part put his hands behind his head and leered at everyone starring at
him. He was just happy to be alive and
more than willing to share his happy bits with the viewers. Yeah, might as well get him a
blanket. We dont need you all seeing him
starkers. "Giles,"
Angel said trying to be as dignified as he could while being stared at by
friends and people he barely knew. "Were fine for the moment. Were going up to my room to
take a shower and get dressed. When we come back down you can ask your
questions and we have a few of our own." Blanket,
please!
Xander demanded again and finally it was Willow who handed him a
comforter. He wrapped it around his
waist and scampered out of the room before either of the vampires. "Right
then, thanks for the rescue and all that shit. The poof and I have some
business to take care of while you all clean this up before something else
shows up," Spike said as he got up and stretched before heading up the
stairs after Xander. When
they got into Angels room, Spike immediately had Xan pinned against the nearest
wall. He could see that their claim was
gone and all he was focused on was reclaiming Xander. "Theyre gone," Xander
said with a hint of desperation as he brought one hand up to feel where his
claim marks had been. "I
you dont have to do this if youve changed your mind. Ill be okay." His
voice lowered and he looked down. "I hope you havent changed your mind
though, either of you." Dont know about the poof,
but youre
damn well mine, Spike growled, changing into his game face. Dont care when or when, but mine from
now on. My claim marks are easy enough
to put back. "Hes both of ours,
Childe," Angel said with a growl as he pushed Spike aside. He moved so
Xander was between them. "Together this time. You want this right, Xander.
To belong to us from now on?" What
had seemed like a living farce in the past was so much more real now. He had thought they had only claimed him to
keep him alive and protected from Darla.
Now they were back only a few minutes and they wanted him again. He could feel Angel press up against one
side and Spike echoing the action. Angel
took in his almost frantic nods and smiled softly. "Have to say it, pet.
Say you want us." Want
you
Xander responded. He wanted to have
them taking care of him. A
moment of wordless communication passed between Angel and Spike then they bent
down at the same time, Angels fangs sinking into Xander a fraction of a second before
Spike's. When
youre
trapped in a moment, it isnt clichι to say that it feels like an eternity. To experience a claiming twice was a rare
declaration that few, if any humans could claim ot have experienced. The claim was sweeter the second time around
now that Xander was more than willing to give in to the swirling emotions and
sensations. "Maybe
hell
wake up in the shower," Spike said as they both pulled away from Xanders neck while keeping a
passed out Xander upright. He gave a satisfied purr when Angel grabbed the back
of his neck and pulled him into a kiss over Xanders shoulder. Weve got pleasant ways of
waking him up, Angel answered when he pulled away. Only have to work the boys stamina
<><><><><><> Angel
and Spike could both hear some of the comments from downstairs as people
wondered exactly what was going on. They were both dressed and were dressing
Xander in spite of his attempts to explain that he could dress himself. They
also ignored his protests that he could walk downstairs on his own. Spike wasnt holding Xanders hand, Xander tried to
tell himself. Nope, the Master vampire
was just pulling him along by the wrist.
And Angel only had his hand on Xanders lower back and it wasnt so bad that it
kept wandering down to his ass, even as they entered the lobby. Wesley
looked the three of them over carefully before turning smugly to Giles.
"As I told you, Angels soul is no longer released by sex," he said. Youve documented this
phenomena?
Giles asked, thinking first of all of the scholarly impact, rather than being
disgusted or shocked. "Not
personally," Wesley said, blushing slightly. "And as far as I know it
hasnt
been tested before now, but I was sure the spell that augmented the curse would
hold." Stop
the geek talk! Buffy intervened with a huff. She turned back to Xander and looked him over. We have to deal with the fact that
Spikes
alive, Xander has his eye back and theyre involved in some freaky sort of
vamp threesome. "Um,
not much to deal with," Willow said quietly. "Xander has his eye
back, which is a good thing. Spike didnt die saving us all, which is a good
thing." Her voice got sly as she starred at Xander. "And it looks
like Xander took care of gaying himself up without my help. Starting with two
at once, show off much, Xander?" Always
liked you Red, Spike said before Xander could say anything. Spike also reached over and pushed Xanders slightly open mouth
closed. Better keep that mouth closed,
unless youre
using it for talking or other kinky things, pet. "Im assuming this is
consensual, right?" Giles asked with an edge to his voice. When Angel
started to answer he held up a hand. "Id rather hear an answer to that from
Xander if you dont mind." Its cool, G-Man. Its not like they used a Vulcan mind
meld on me,
Xander said and then smiled when Giles groaned. He wasnt sure it was from the nickname he hated, or the Star Trek
reference, but anyway it felt extremely normal to tease Giles. They saved my life. "This
isnt
just because they saved you is it?" Buffy asked looking back and forth
between the three of them. Its much more than that, Angel said, moving his
hand from Xanders lower back to wrap his arm around Xanders waist. "Right,
now that weve
settled that, you bints get off the couch so we can sit down and tell you this
story. Not too many questions though, we gotta shag again soon," Spike
said with an evil grin. Spike,
not in front of Dawn! Buffy hissed at him. Dawn
rolled her eyes at her sister. Buffy, please. Hello!
Ive
faced evil and Spike lusting after you
I think its cute that theyre in love. Angel
grinned at Spikes sputter and Xanders blush when Dawn mentioned love.
Those two werent ready to admit to that, yet. He knew better then to pursue
that in front of people though and deftly steered the conversation into a
retelling of their trip to the past. It almost felt normal with Xander pressed
between him and Spike and their friends sitting around listening to the story. The End
