Great chapter! Buffy's b-day, not sure to be excited or nervous about that, she's had a lot of lousy birthdays on the show.

Author's Response: I have some lovely plans for Buffy's birthday...stay tuned! Thanks for the review!

Love how Will offers to kick Riley's ass. That's sweet.
Xander needs to pull his head out and stop being such a dick to Will.
Great story!

Author's Response: Well he wouldn't be Spike if he didn't offer to beat someone up! And yes, Xander does. Glad you like! Thanks for the review!

Oh, this made my heart hurt! Great chapter.

Author's Response: I know, I made myself sad writing it. Glad you liked, though. Thanks for reviewing!

Really sweet chapter! I love how he's so open and honest with her and she's just taking it all in. Being a teenager can be very difficult at times and having somebody to talk to who is supportive is always such a help. Hopefully Xander will realize that!

Author's Response: Glad you're liking it! I always felt that Spike was very open with her on the show, or would have been if she was more receptive to it. Xander...we'll see about him. Thanks for the review!

My two ex boyfriends are bi-sexual and they both told me that. So I can't really be more open to this story than I am now LOL :D
I loved the update! As a painter myself I appreciate the way you wrote about Will painting. That moment between them was very sweet and not overly done so. Realistic :) Loved it :)
Can't wait to read some more!

Author's Response: Good, I'm glad you like. I am a painter as well, so I'm imparting a lot of my own experience into that part of the story. Thanks for the review!

First off, I have no issues with him being bi-sexual. You are attracted/ love who you are attracted/love, that's that. Labels are for jars and boxes not people. (Sorry, I know this part belonged on the last chapter). Secondly, I'm glad Will is confiding in Buffy. Even though Xander is gay, he seems sort of closed minded himself. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I think so to, about the label thing. It really doesn't matter. Xander kind of has a narrow view of the world right now, so that's something he has to work through. Thanks for the review!

Love their tentative growing friendship. Things are clearly on the change and Xander may still be out in the dust. Lovely potential. Update soon!

Author's Response: Glad you think so. Things can't progress too quickly! I have some things coming up for Xander...Thanks for the review!!

I think this chapter did a great job. Although I don't know how smoothly a converstation would be, as seeing as I'm a woman but explain it either of my parents was harder for myself than it was for them to accept.. But on the other hand. I do see Xander's issue with it. Very well it seems as if you have both sides of a situation possible in the story. Keep up the amazing writing :) I'm enjoying this story so much I keep praying for updates :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you think so. Like the last chapter, I revised it about twenty times to make sure it didn't sound stupid. Xander and Will are both dealing with their sexuality in very different ways. I think these days, even with homosexuality being accepted, and almost sensationalized, by the media, it's still extremely difficult for teens to deal with. I'm glad you like it so much! Thanks for the review!!

I like how you show how comfortable they are with each other.
Also shy Will is cute.

Author's Response: Good, I'm glad. And shy Will is always wonderful! Thanks for the review!!

I am in love with this story! Every day I check all day long until an update is posted. You're a fantastic writer, and being a bisexual woman, you did the conversation very well. I can't wait for the next chapter! I'll be checking all day tomorrow!!

Author's Response: Wow. You flatter me! It's funny, because I've never considered myself a great writer. I'm more of a visual artist. This is my first foray into fan fiction. Anyway, next update may come later tonight! Thanks for reviewing!

I liked it, not too fluffy. I'm glad both Buffy and Will have someone to talk to. I'm just worried about Xander.

Author's Response: Buffy and Will are obviously becoming closer. As far as Xander goes, I have some things coming up for him...so stay tuned! Thanks for the review!!

I think you wrote this beautifully. I can picture them in my head. I love how they can talk to each other about anything and how honest Will is with her. Love it.

Author's Response: I'm really happy you think so! I always felt Spike was very forthcoming with Buffy in the show, she just never wanted to hear it then. In this, she obviously does. Thanks for the review!!

I just wanted to be a positive voice for Spike's bisexuality. I know that not everyone is supportive of a potentially controversial storyline like this, but I'm very happy you decided to take this on. I have many different friends of all types: straight, homosexual, bisexual, queer, transexual, all great wonderful people. People can't always help who they are or who they love. Things are not always straight-forward as straight and homosexual. To be cliche, just like how a rose can be many different colors, sexuality can be just as diverse. And congratulations & kudos to all those people who are brave enough to be who they are despite societies pressures.

Author's Response: I knew when I decided to write this that not everyone would be okay with it, but it was important to me as well. I absolutely completely agree with everything you are saying and I think, especially in this day and age, that sexuality isn't always black and white and that's okay. It's very reassuring to get a comment like this. Thank you so much for the support!

the whole bi-sexual bit disappointed me-if he sleeps with guys he is homosexual, regardless of if he sleeps with women as well. Buffy might be ok with it but having to compete for him not only with other women but other men too-no..just not worth it

Author's Response: I understand where you're coming from, but in the end I have to take my story where I want it to go. It is a work of fiction and if Torchwood can make some of its characters omnisexual, then I can make one of mine bisexual. As far as the competition thing goes, if he loves her then he loves her. The competition thing really doesn't matter in the end. I hope you continue to read, though and thanks for sharing your opinion.

I've been expecting to learn that Spike is bi while wishing for it not to actually be true. The only way I can handle it is not hearing any details about any of Spike's homo or even hetreo relationships. A mention in passing but no details please!

Author's Response: Well, keep in mind that the story is exclusively from Buffy's POV, so anything like that will just be in talked about. Just to address the bi thing, personally I feel that it doesn't really matter either way because when he and Buffy fall in love it will be the real thing. And anyone he was with before doesn't mean anything anymore, woman or man. But, anyway, I'm glad you're still reading! Thanks for the review!

I enjoyed this chapter, and frankly, not a big shock about the bisexuality. Poor Xander. I can understand where Buffy's coming from--she's a kid and the boy she likes is finally responding to her, but I fear Xander's isolation. It feels like that part is really building to something. Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: I didn't think it would be a shock, as I tried to drop some hints about it earlier. Things will take an interesting turn for Xander soon. Next update probably Tuesday. Thanks for the review!

I think it fits to make Spike bisexual because it makes it a nice foil for both Xander and Buffy's growth. it is sad that Xander is closing himself from everyone, hopefully eventually he'll realize how lucky he is!

Author's Response: I'm glad you think so! Eventually....but how far off? Thanks for the review!

Can't wait for Will's response...then Buffy's response to that...post more soon please!!

I love how you portray Buffy. All her questions and curiosity are of a teenager who hasn't seen all the world and it's still growing. I think you wrote her perfectly to match this situation :-) I also like how she put her foot down, so cute! And good for her for standing up to Riley.

Author's Response: I try and think back to myself at 15 and how I would have handled something like this. Although, I think 15 year olds these days are a tad on the jaded side. But, I'm glad you like! I really want Buffy to mature as the story progresses, and part of that is her starting to stand up for herself and really start asking questions. Thanks for the review!!
