Song: Hold my Hand- New Found Glory
It was their seventh anniversary and it was supposed to be a wonderful night. They were going out for a fancy dinner, dancing and then going home to each other's arms. It started off perfect. That was until Xander thought Spike was flirting with their waitress and Spike got aggravated that Xander was jealous.
“Christ! It’s been seven years Xander. If I wanted a bird for between my legs I wouldn’t have stayed here this long. You need to get over your insecurities.”
“Well, God forgive me if I get offended when the guy I’ve been seeing for seven years starts eye fucking the server at our anniversary dinner.”
“Xander, get it through your thick skull, you are the one I want. You are the one I choose.”
Xander examined his shoes, what if I’m boring you? You can do so much better.”
The way your hair swings over your eyes
The motor in my head turns
Wanting you for such a long time
In my mind, a heart, a lesson to learn
Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know,
I'm after you
Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know
Xander looked up at Spike through long lashes. Spike wanted to cry at the beauty of it. If he needed to breath his breath would have been caught in his throat.
“There is no one better luv. I’ve been looking for you for centuries.”
And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go
So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go
“I love you Xander, I love everything about you. The way you come home from work smelling like sun and sweat.” Spike got down on one knee so he was eye level with Xander. “I have traveled the world several times and have never found someone who amazes me every day like you do. Someday I will take you to see every square inch of the world.”
The way your words keep me in a line
I know what I'm here for
Waking up to the green of your eyes
It's something I'll get used to (Oh!)
Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know,
I'm after you
Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know
“I love the way you see past the monster in favor of the man. I love how you never give up on thinking I am capable of being a man worthy of your love. I love how you hold me accountable for my actions without writing me off as a lost cause. I love waking up every day next to you”
The two shared a bone crushing hug and a smoldering kiss.
“I love you too Spike”
And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go
“I love the way you smell like cigarettes and leather and sex. I love how you are so confident and sexy. I love how you make me feel sexy by default.”
So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go
So come on and hold my hand (Hold my hand)
I'll take you everywhere (Everywhere)
Anywhere
I'll take you anywhere
So let's go
“I want to see the world with you. I want to hear your stories about all the places you’ve been. I want to make every place on Earth ours. I want to make the world new for you”.
The way your hair swings over your eyes
The way your words keep me in a line
I'm telling you for the very last time
You better know
“I love the way you run your fingers through your hair when you are worried or upset. I love the way you have never made me feel like a doughnut boy or sidekick. I love how you make me snap out of every bad mood. How you never let me wallow in self pity.”
And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go
So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go
“Sounds like bleeding wedding vows.” Spike said as they embraced again.
“Might as well be. This is it forever for me.”
So come on and hold my hand (Hold my hand)
I'll take you everywhere (Everywhere)
Anywhere
You wanna go
