Spike rolls himself to the side, pulling Raven to him.  She's become infinitely precious to him in such a short time.  He knows, *knows* he's an idiot.  That he'll end up crushed and abandoned again.  But he can't help it.  He cares about her now.  And he's dangerously close to those three words that will condemn him again.  If he were really good, he tells himself, he'd make her leave.  He's no good for anyone. But he holds her close, purring, not wanting to stop touching her.
