Aha! Talking, if only jokingly, about being 'one of those couples', Buffy realised she's in love with him, and Spike had earlier come to the realisation that he COULD love her. So we've got the ingredients but being a Spuffy story we know having all the right pieces doesn't necessarily mean these two know how to make them fit. Maybe it's just the overdose of angsty stories I've been following but I'm thinking...this look like happiness has come too easy. Which then makes me suspect there's gonna be something nasty coming up for them. Will Faith make a play for Spike and Buffy misinterpret Spike's actions as reciprocating? Will Angel think he's automatically in for a second go and Spike misintrerpret Buffy's actions? Or is there something else you have planned perhaps that we can't even guess at? Oooh the suspense, the suspense LOL. Still following this with interest 8-)
