Been Here Too Few Years by Addie Logan. Summary: After the death of her first love, Buffy Summers swore to never give her heart to another. But with the addition of an unwelcome houseguest into her life, Buffy begins to realize she may have to rethink that vow. However, they never lived together as children, and prior to the main part of this fic, they'd only met once (and that's in the prologue.) Basically, they're step- siblings in name only. Still, if that's enough to bother you, don't read this and then harass me about it. I know it's a potentially creepy subject, hence this nifty little disclaimer. If you didn't read this, get two pages into the fic, and think ! Her mom is married to his dad! I hate this fic and want to burn it and then give the author a stern talking to. If the sorta almost family issue doesn't bother you, then by all means, read on.*** *** *** She grabs her magazines. She packs her things and she goes.

When Joyce Summers had first begun dating again after the divorce, Buffy hadn't been happy. It hadn't helped that the first man Joyce had brought home was less than stable and threatened Buffy while playing mini golf of all things. But try as she might, Buffy had never been able to truly dislike Rupert Giles. In the past year since he'd come into her life, Buffy had already begun to regard the middle- aged librarian as the fatherly role model she'd never really had before. Besides, he'd put a spark of happiness back in Joyce's eyes, and that was one thing that Buffy would never begrudge her mother. Buffy's ten year old sister Dawn, however, was another story. Besides, Mom loves him. Joyce's anger with Buffy had quickly been pushed to the side as she and Giles had begun a two- hour conversation that ended in a dinner invitation. Giles is picking him up from the airport at noon. You think he'll be another member of the Tweed Squad? To be honest, she wasn't sure she wanted to meet William. Most of what she'd heard about him had been spoken in hushed tones when Giles and Joyce thought that Buffy couldn't hear them. She knew that, while he'd once been rather introverted, he'd become more rebellious as of late, choosing to remain behind in London—supposedly living with a woman his father didn't approve of—instead of accompanying Giles when he made the move to California. Giles had stated several times that he wouldn't be surprised if William refused to come at all, despite his attempt to extend the olive branch to his only child and make him his best man. Buffy wished he would just stay in England. She had high hopes for familial bliss, and wild step- brothers could only ruin that. Try to keep it that way at least until it's time to fix it for the wedding. We don't want everyone thinking Mom makes you live out in the woods or something. It was more like fifteen. Come on, I told Mom we'd make her breakfast.! I can totally make breakfast. They'd barely said two words to each other on the drive to the airport, and Spike was already regretting coming. He almost hadn't, especially when it had been made clear to him that his girlfriend, Drusilla, was not welcome. But Spike had been too curious to see the woman his father had replaced his dead mother with not to show. Spike started to follow his father into the house, but stopped when he looked up into a second- story window and caught a glimpse of a girl dancing. She wore a shimmery, light blue top that clung to her curves perfectly. Her long, blonde hair framed her face, and she moved with the grace and self- confidence of someone who didn't know she had an audience. The vision of her enthralled him, and for a moment, Spike forgot all about Drusilla. All that existed for him in that moment was the golden goddess he had the privilege of watching. She was radiant, glowing. Effulgent. Just admiring your new place. Joyce is at the salon having her hair and make- up done, and I need to get you settled so I can leave before she returns. Bloody tradition and all. Dawn and Buffy are here though, if you would like to meet them. Let me meet your wonderful wife- to- be's wonderful daughters. Spike sucked in a breath as the woman he'd watched dancing descended the stairs. She was even more beautiful up close than she'd been through the window. If her mother was anything like her, maybe Spike could understand why his father had decided to remarry. Buffy looked up, feeling a rush of shock at the sight of Giles's son. His clothes were all black, adorned with safety pins, and his short, spiked hair was bleached to white. His deep, blue eyes were rimmed in dark black. How he could be the son of the proper librarian who was marrying her mother was beyond her. Buffy almost stumbled down the stairs as Dawn ran past her. The younger Summers girl stopped short at the last step, gaping at Spike. You look totally different than in your picture. No puffy brown hair or geek glasses.? Bloody hell, do you want everyone to think I'm just a chip off the old pathetic git block? What is it again, Snake? Giles was one of the nicest people she knew, and she hated the thought of anyone being rude to him, especially his own son. What was William's problem? Didn't he know how lucky he was to have a father who wasn't scum? The dreamy look in Dawn's eyes told Buffy that her sister didn't share her sentiments. He thought for sure she'd be Dawn. After all, her golden hair did remind him of sunrise. He had no intention of getting to know anyone in the Summers family. Joyce and I will leave for our honeymoon after the reception, but Joyce's mother will be here tonight, as she is staying with the girls while we will be gone. It has boy band posters all over the place. Nothing scares me more than those dancing gits and the nancy boy hair gel they like so much. You seem cool, and I've always wanted a big brother. Having a big sister sucks. Buffy is such a brat. You seem like you'll make a pretty cool little sis yourself. Maybe if he was around, she'd finally feel like something other than a freak in her own family.*** *** ***Buffy glared at the rumpled tuxedo- clad man leaning against the island in her kitchen. Despite Joyce's insistence that Spike's less- than- pleasant behavior hadn't even registered on her radar, Buffy was convinced that he'd ruined her mother's happy day. Buffy strode angrily into the kitchen, arms crossed over her chest. She worked hard to make this day perfect, and you had to ruin it! Spike was surprised at how menacing the petite blonde could sound, but didn't let it show. If anyone is going to 'sod off,' it's going to be you. He gave her his most infuriating smirk. I know you have to get up early to catch your plane and stuff, but, um, do you want to watch a movie or something? Let's go find something to watch. After he and Dawn were gone, she went back to her room, secure in her knowledge that William Giles would get on a plane back to London the next morning, and she would never have to see him again. Five Years Later. She sighed wearily at the sound of the pounding bass that was coming from next door, long since resigning herself to the fact that no amount of complaining or beating on the walls would ever make it stop. The phone rang, and Buffy took it into her tiny bedroom, hoping the extra wall would allow her to hear whoever was on the other line. Honey, I'm so glad I caught you at home! It seems like you're never there. I did call for a favor. Sweetheart, I know you're not going to want to do this, but. Whatever you want, the answer is no. It was a sneaky tactic on her mother's part, knowing that Buffy would much sooner do something for her step- father than she would for Joyce. Apparently, he was an . You know how hard it can be to get settled in a new place, and. Actually, I'd like for you to. Wait, on second thought, make that a hell no. Not now, not ever, not even if saying yes was the only way to prevent the coming of the Apocalypse. It would only be for a little while, until William found a job and a place of his own.! God, I have enough stress in my life without having to put up with him, too. You're so unreasonable when it comes to me.? After what you did, I don't think anything I do is exactly 'unreasonable.'. She wished she'd been on something other than a cordless phone. A slam would've felt so much more satisfying. The phone began ringing again, and this time Buffy did let the answering machine pick up. Mom's pulling out the big guns, huh? My boss owns a couple of other restaurants. I could put in a good word for William if he promises not to embarrass me. When he decides he wants to do something, he does it, often without thinking it through. He says he wants to leave for New York Monday, and he doesn't seem liable to change his mind.? That's three days away! And I'm worried about the kind of trouble he'll get into if he's there all alone.
