Sunnydale After Dark
Summary: Updated!

It was just to fill a hole; feed a need for them both. A pretend (and secret) engagement to cauterize the loneliness in them both. No feelings involved. 

Yeah, right.

Meanwhile, Spike is intent on tracking down the soldiers that put a chip in his head and enacting some very much needed comeuppance, and as luck would have it he's not alone in that goal.

Story Notes: Previously on Post Blue: “I liked belonging to someone,” he continued, self-consciously. “Liked planning the whole thing. Feeling all… complete. Happy.”  He paused again, wishing he could stop, but it was too late now. Might as well try and make it worth it. “So… what if we pretended we still were?”
 
Buffy’s face was a picture of bewilderment. “You want to pretend we’re getting married?”
 
Spike nodded. 
 
Mad as that sounds…
