As Buffy sat there looking at the CD Spike left her, Xander and Willow smiled as an older 80's slow song came on. "You know," Xander said as her recognized the beginning strands of the song, "that's a good song for us to dance to, considering you're wearing a red dress." Willow giggled slightly and nodded. "By all means. Just don't step on my feet." {I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance Looking for a little romance Given half a chance} Xander wrapped his arms around her waist, slowly pulling her closer. "I'm glad I can dance with you," he said softly as she placed her head on his chest. "Me too. I mean, when Oz and Cordy found us..." He shuddered a bit at the though. "I'm just glad we handled it like mature adults. It could have been worse." She nodded a little and smiled. "But, we're together. And I'm glad." {I have never seen that dress you're wearing Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes I have been blind} Xander started to hum the song a bit as they swayed together. "You look gorgeous in red, you know." "Really?" "Actually, you look gorgeous in just about anything." Willow smiled but stayed close to him. "So do you." {The lady in red Is dancing with me Cheek to cheek There's nobody here It's just you and me It's where I want to be And I hardly know there's beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight } "Willow...are you sure you're okay with everything? I mean, all the decisions?" She pulled back a bit, showing him her smile. "Yes, I am. Is that what you want to hear? Because it's the truth." "What happened to the shy Willow I knew before?" Xander asked laughingly, staring at her. "She grew up and got a boyfriend," she said. {I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright You were amazing I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away} They stayed silent through the verse, and just swayed. Xander saw their exes looking at them with their respective dates. "Why do I get the feeling we're being watched?" Willow asked. "Because we are." Xander looked at her face. "Do you care?" "Not really," she said, putting her head back on his chest. {I have never had such a feeling Such a feeling of complete and utter love as I do tonight} "Xander? Remember when I was in the coma?" He involuntarily gripped her tighter, and she relaxed a little. "Remember what you told me?" Xander nodded slowly. "Yes. Why?" "I heard it all." {The lady in red Is dancing with me Cheek to cheek There's nobody here It's just you and me It's where I want to be And I hardly know there's beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight} He looked down at her in shock, as she turned her face up to him. Slowly, he bent down to kiss her. A sweet kiss, one that made them remember why they chose each other. It intensified, and they got swept up in the passion, missing the last verse of the song as they continued swaying, lips locked together, both ignoring the fact they had to breathe. {I never will forget the way you look tonight The lady in red The lady in red The lady in red My lady in red I love you} Buffy looked at the dance floor, fingering the CD again. Sighing, she stood up, knowing that Willow would be safe here, with Xander. She had to patrol, which she realized reluctantly. The two continued to kiss, oblivious to those around them. When they finally broke apart, it was only then that they realized Buffy had left. "Should we tell her we saw her and Spike dancing?" Willow asked. Xander shook his head. "No. Let's dance some more...I have the feeling they hit a slow song streak." "Oooh...alliteration," Willow teased. "Paying attention in English?" Xander kissed her quickly. "Nope, just to you."
