"Wil? Spike? Which ever one you are, what's going on?" Alex watched as the vampire turned sorrowful eyes on him.

"I - he hurt you. I'm so sorry Alex, about everything." Wil hung his head and Alex approached him. He stopped dead as the vampire’s head snapped back up and yellow eyes bore into his.

"Told you already, it was an accident!"

"Accident? You killed him!"

"Didn't know it was Xander now did I? Looked like a bloody wookie, he did."

"You shouldn't have bitten him regardless!"

Alex watched as Wil and Spike argued, it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen, and growing up in Sunnydale he'd seen some pretty damn strange things. He couldn't do anything but stand there slack-jawed and stunned as the schizophrenic vampire argued with himself.

"Look what you did to him! You changed his entire appearance."

"What? Just made him look like Xander is all."

"But he isn't Xander. He's Alex."

"Didn't know that at the time now did I? 'Sides he hit me for it, we're even."

At this point Alex began to laugh, he couldn't help it. It was laugh or cry, and while he may have been okay crying in front of Wil, he would never cry in front of Spike. That way just led to badness.

"Now look what you have done."

Wil approached Alex and stood quietly in front of him, he studied Alex while he waited for the man to regain his composure. Eventually Alex stopped laughing and just sat down right on the floor. Wil crouched down in front of him and took his hand.

"I'm sorry Alex. I had no idea what was going on or I would have stopped him."

"It's okay, not your fault. Besides, I always figured some day Spike would kill me."

Alex couldn't help but chuckle at Wils' outraged expression.

"How can you make light of this?"

"It's over and done with? I'm okay and by the looks of you, I'd say the human blood did you some good as well."

The vampire did look healthier, Alex knew that a vampire could exist on animal blood but human was better for them. Much the same way as humans could survive on a diet of junk food but it wasn't the best option to do so.

"That is beside the point."

"Look Wil, Spike is ..... Spike. He's always been the bite first ask questions later type. I knew it was a possibility, I could have tied you up or something but I didn't. It's just as much my fault as it is his. Don't blame Spike for acting like a vampire, okay?"

"Very well. So long as it doesn't happen again."

Wil ran his fingers along the smooth skin of Alex’s' face, he ran one hand through the much shorter hair and grimaced. Alex chuckled at him.

"Don't like the new look?"

"It's just so..... Xander."

"I know, it'll grow back though."

"Yes, but I liked your hair, I kind of like the smooth face though."

"I'll keep it then, but I'm growing my hair again. I feel naked without it."

Wil gulped as he was immediately bombarded with images of a naked Alex.

"Gah! Stop that!"

Alex looked at the vampire, confusion written on his face.

"Stop what?"

"Not you, him."

"Spike?"

"Yes?"

"What did Wil do?"

Spike visibly shuddered.

"Was picturing you naked. Not something I'm ready to think about."

Alex couldn't help but laugh at the expression on the vampires face. He knew Spike would come around eventually, he had little choice in the matter. Wil was the dominate personality after all. But he would give Spike time to get used to the idea before pushing things, he could use some time to adjust as well.

"I understand. How about we just hang out for a while? Try to get reacquainted, become friends?"

"Alright, guess we could try that. Not like I have a choice is it?"
