This is really, REALLY, short. Just needed to get it out of the way. And it's not a dead story!! Swear! Just... working on it...

When Willow, Xander and Spike finally left the infirmary to eat it was to face the amused look on Dawn's face first off. "You know, there are certainly going to be questions. I think half the compound heard your.... enthusiasm last night." Spike smirked and gave the blushing Willow a little one armed hug. Xander buried his head in his hands, his face doing a credible imitation of a tomato.

"Fuck." He muttered. Beside him Willow smirked. "Did enough of that last night." Willow stated before blushing again and looking positively mortified. Dawn laughed at both Willow and Spike's faces; Spike looked like a proud parent. Xander whirled on his two bedmates, startled before a slow grin meandered across his face.

"Why do I get the feeling Spike's gonna be a bad influence?"_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

No truer words were spoken. While everyone in the compound had threatened Spike against breaking their hearts before the day was out all of them were reconsidering not dusting him by the end of the week. Not only were the trio often found in... interesting positions in.... odd places... they were incredibly scary. Spike, Willow and Xander were all super protective of one another. Xander had always been protective of Willow but now that Spike had been added to the list of 'people I love' any slight, little or big, and any pain inflicted on the bleached blond was visited back on it's source a thousand fold. Not that Willow did not get into the act, she had in fact put one crude mouthed gossip under a truth telling geas for 48 hours. No one spoke ill of their relationship near Willow again.

They also helped each other in their hobbies. Willow and Xander helped Spike wreak mayhem, which was amusing as long as it was inflicted on demons and Not inside the compound and they helped eachother 'do' Spike. Spike and Willow helped Xander blow up things. Large things, little things, demons, the occasional Velocity jeep... the list was long and Angel had begun to wonder where the hell they were getting any of the explosives from but dismissed it. It kept the compound safe... Spike and Xander helped Willow blow thigns up, though most of that was an accident. After all that spell was supposed to create and illusion! Not blow up the table! Really!

And the continuous dopey smile that Spike wore after seeing his lovers was beginning to grate on everyones nerves.
