Notes: Inspired by the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes, the #8 song of 1984. Buffy's POV, sometime in Season 6.

Spike loves me.

No matter how much I deny it, I know he does. He's proved it often enough, before and after Glory. He protected Dawn, almost with his unlife, he patrolled when I was dead, and he helped my friends. He didn't have to do any of that. But he did, because he loves me.

But I can't let myself love him back, can't let him in. Love just hurts way too damned much. I loved Angel. I loved Riley. Look where it got me.

Loneliness is numbing, but it hurts less than loving and getting your heart shattered.

I keep some blood in the back of the fridge, and a supply of the little marshmallows he likes so much. Buffy's disapproval is palpable when she knows he's been here, but I can't help treating him like a person. In fact...I don't think he'd bite me, or Dawn, or even Buffy, if he ever got the chip out. I honestly doubt he has it in him anymore--to hurt one of us, at any rate. Any more than I have it in me to consider him a monster.

I think I might be the only friend he has.
