Summary: Xander and Spike celebrate their anniversary
A few weeks had passed since Spike and Xander had had the discussion. Since that evening the topic hadn’t been mentioned. True to his word Spike gave Xander space and let him make his decisions in peace. He did hope that Xander would decide in his favor but he wasn’t going to pressure his boy. It was a big issue that concerned the rest of Xander’s life. Decisions like that couldn’t be done in a hurry.
It was their half a year anniversary coming up and Spike wanted to organize something special for the occasion. He knew that a new restaurant had just opened in the city so he decided to reserve a table for them in there well in advance. It was a pricy place but they really didn’t have to worry about the money. Spike had never actually revealed to Xander that he was pretty rich. When you lived as long as Spike had lived you had plenty of time to make good investments and wait until they really grew in worth. He never flaunted with his money because he didn’t want to make Xander feel bad. Most of the time they took care of all the shopping together. Of course that didn’t stop Spike from getting Xander the occasional treat.
He kept their destination a secret until they reached the place. He had a suspicion that if he told Xander where they were going the boy would probably protest because of the fact that food really was quite expensive there. But Spike had decided that he wanted to give this treat to his boy and nothing would get him to back down. He had made Xander dress properly and wouldn’t even give any hints of where they were heading. Xander had pouted and tried to use all his cuteness to persuade Spike to reveal at least something but the vampire had stayed firm. He wouldn’t say anything except that it was a surprise and that he hoped Xander would like it.
Xander was feeling very nervous. He knew what day it was and he had already given his small present to Spike. He did have a bigger one planned but he wanted to save that one for later. He truly hoped that Spike would like the other present as well. Right now his thoughts were concentrated on where they were going. Spike hadn’t revealed anything and that had gotten Xander really curious. He had used almost his entire arsenal while he had tried to get Spike to give at least some hints but the annoying vampire hadn’t revealed anything. Even during the car ride Xander tried to fish for information but it was no use.
Finally they stopped and Xander stepped out of the car. It took him a while to recognize the place they were in but then he wanted to return to the car and hide. He couldn’t believe that Spike had really brought him here. Restaurant Mecca had only been in town for a few months but had already gotten quite a reputation. He knew that eating properly in a place like this would cost a fortune but he had also heard that the food was very good in there. Before he had any chance to do anything Spike had already linked their arms and was walking towards the front door.
Spike had immediately seen the small panic on Xander’s face when they had stepped out of the car. He had known to expect it so he was also prepared. He was sure Xander’s mind was busy with all kinds of thoughts so he just linked their arms and walked towards the door leaving Xander with only the option of following him.
When they were inside they were immediately shown to their table, which happened to be a cozy table for two in a dark corner with just a sole candle as the main source of light. They were handed menus and Xander was immediately shocked by the prices in the place. Of course he had heard rumors but still it was somewhat pricier than he had known to expect. He had no idea what to order. Then he felt Spike’s hand on top of his own.
“Pet, you order whatever you wish. This is my treat and my present to you since I know you have wanted to come here but the price has stopped you. I’ve planned this already for a while and put some money aside.” It wasn’t actually a lie since Spike had really put some money aside but it just hadn’t been in the last years. “Let’s just enjoy this evening and not worry about anything.”
Xander’s mouth watered when he went through the list. He had very hard time deciding what he was going to eat. Everything sounded so great. When the waiter came to take their order Xander was still far from ready. He listened amazed when Spike ordered them some wine. He seemed so natural in this. He made a small mental check on his clothes to make sure that he was dressed appropriately.
Finally he was able to make his decision and place his order. Only then he had time to pay attention to their surroundings. The tables were placed around the restaurant so that even if there were quite a few tables there was a certain atmosphere of intimacy in the place and it gave the impression that you could be totally alone there. The restaurant’s name was printed everywhere. Even their napkins had the text Mecca in gold letters in them. Xander found it a bit funny.
The food was great. Xander tried to eat really slowly to make the food last even if he would have wanted to wolf it down as fast as he could. Their discussion stayed on safe topics even if they both wanted to talk about the mating. Somehow they just couldn’t find a proper way to start that discussion. After they had eaten the desserts Spike asked for the bill, paid it and they were ready to go. Neither of them was ready to end the evening yet so they headed for a small walk to the nearby beach and sat on the first bench they came across.
“Xander?”
“Spike?”
They both started to speak at the same time while not looking at each other.
“You first.” Xander tried to say turning to face Spike.
“No, want you to talk first.” Spike quickly objected.
Xander took a few deep breaths because he was feeling pretty nervous. What if Spike was regretting about talking about the mating thing? What if the vampire didn’t want to do it anymore? Spike had told him that if they went through with it, there was no going back. They would be mated for life. Also the fact that Angel had to be part of it was affecting Xander. He didn’t actually hate Angel anymore but the thought of letting Angel fuck him felt strange. He hadn’t actually been fucked by anyone else but Spike. It was something special they shared. He swallowed once before opening his mouth.
“Spike, I’ve been thinking about the mating thing a lot lately. I’ve even done some research by myself even if there isn’t a lot of literature of mating rituals. I have to tell you that I’m pretty nervous about it.”
“Pet, we don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.” Spike quickly interrupted while taking hold of Xander’s hand. “Maybe I shouldn’t have talked about it with you but you were so angry with me and I was afraid that you were going to end up things between us and I didn’t want that happening.”
“Spike.” Xander tried to get his vampire’s attention before he managed to get too worked up. “That is not what I’m saying. I do want to do the mating thing. That is if you still want to do it. I’m just saying I’m a bit nervous but I trust that you will take good care of me.”
Spike was speechless. He had been so certain that Xander didn’t want to be his mate. It was a big commitment. He took hold of Xander’s hand and squeezed it a little.
“You certain, luv? I do understand if you would say no to it.”
“I thought I already said yes.” Xander’s voice and mood plummeted. “Or do you have doubts? Don’t you want to do it anymore?”
“Of course I want! It’s all I’ve wanted for several months now.”
“So then we are going to do it, right?
Spike just kissed Xander deep and let that be his answer. It took a few minutes before he let the boy go.
“Yes, we are going to do this. I will call Angel in the morning and arrange everything. I love you so much, pet.”
“Love you too, Spike.”
Then they just sat on the bench and watched the waves. There was no need for more words. As soon as all practical things could be arranged they would be mated.
