The Little Moments

[zobothehobo]

I guess my favorite "little moment" would be the date/stakeout. So cute. I just wanna give Spike a hug.

Spikefan31 agrees: In Crush, right?

Right. When Buffy figures out its a date is when she's certain Spike likes her.

BUFFY: What ... is this? (Spike stares at her) The late-night stakeout, the bogus suspects, the flask? (Spike raises his eyebrows) Is this a date?
SPIKE: (loudly) A d- Please! (pretending to be amused) A date? You are completely off your bird! I mean - (quietly) Do you want it to be?

I absolutely love that.

Hahahaha. I love the '...Do you want it to be?' 😀

I love his face in that scene.

JM makes the best facial expressions, lol.

Don't know about you, but I really love their fights. Not when they argue, but when they exchange punches. But of course I like their love scenes as well, each and every one of them.
Like in the scene you mentioned, from "Showtime", when Buffy saves Spike, I watch it and can't help but wonder, how could someone say she doesn't love him after that? You can totally see the love on her face. it's pure, powerful and beautiful. And besides, if she didn't love him, she would't risk her life like this for him. To me it's a solid fact that she loves him, according to this scene.

On the arguing note... I LOVE the scene in Something Blue when Buffy taunts him while he's chained to the bathtub.

I just think Buffy wishes him to be in her bathtub, she's jealous of Giles and take it out on Spike! (I'm joking of course, but who wouldn't want Spike in their bathtub??

I think Life Serial has some great Spuffy moments 😀 "Motorcycle's loud" Gosh, I would have LOVED to see Spike and Buffy on his motorcycle. Later, when Spike calls Buffy his lady. Not girl, but lady (treats her like a woman). I also love their little banters in that episode. "Someone's gotta stake me." "I'll do it!" Spike gives her a look. "What? You think I was gonna let that lie there?"

Hi there, fellow Spuffies! 😀 Not new to the show/fandom, but new to this board!

A little moment that I have always loved, and that I rarely see mentioned, is in Listening To Fear, when Spike helps Buffy get up (avi at the bottom of the post is by awmp)

It underlines their comradenship, even before their friendship began Spike was there by Buffy's side, and she sort of relies on him. I love it! 🙂

I like their small interaction in Hell's Bells, where Buffy admits she's a little jealous. 😀

What I also love about their interaction there is how Spike says he likes seeing Buffy happy (she glows). And Buffy smiles, seems a little shy about his comment and makes a cute joke in response, and he laughs 😀

I also love that little moment in the graveyard when Giles has just found out about Spike having no chip and they have that funny little exchange about there 'being a choice' and they share a looks and finish each other's sentence and it's just very cute!

That's one of my favorites moments ! ♥ I'm so in love with these moments where they share a looks, like this one.

I love too their discussion in Sleeper, when she came at Xander's home and she talks to Spike because she was thinking that he had killed the woman. I love more particulary this sentence :

As daft a notion as "Soulful Spike the Killer" is, it is nothing compared to the idea that another girl could mean anything to me. (...) 'cause"”God, help me, Buffy"”it's still all about you.

One of my favorite sweet little moments between Buffy & Spike is when he goes off with the shotgun, intending to kill her, but sits beside her on the "back steps" and he doesn't really know *how* to comfort her about her mom, but he just kind of pats her on the shoulder, & just .... sits there with her. It's soooo sweet.

Another one is during Once More with Feeling, when he's singing to her, and they fall into the open grave, with her on top, and they just lie there for a second (while he's singing).

But my most favorite "little moment" was in S-5, last eppy, when Buffy dies, and in the corner of the screen, you see Spike fall to his knees ...& he's CRYING. Soulless Spike is crying! Oh god that rips my heart out every time.

Agreed 😀 And I love how both of them sigh at the exact same time, right at the very end of that scene 🙂

YES. The way he just crumples...

In Becoming Part 2, when the vampire jumps in front of Joyce, it's like instinct for Buffy and Spike to work together. Buffy throws the vampire to Spike, who then beats him up and throws him back to Buffy. Buffy then comes in for the kill. And I love that after Spike says, "He won't get a chance to tattle on us now," Buffy gives him like this half smile 🙂 And I've always loved how Spike is present at an important moment in Buffy's life...when she tells Joyce she's a vampire slayer. Buffy could have easily asked Joyce to go inside so she could explain, but she didn't. She looks at Spike and then speaks.

 

[Litheran]

Hard to say; everyone knows most of them because those little moments steal everything away from the whole episode.

For me it has to be when Buffy drops off Joyce and Dawn for protection at Spike's crypt. At first he's snarky and all inconvenienced; until Buffy says something akin to.

"You're the only one strong enough to protect them."

He does this great little 180 where he drops the tough guy act and just nods his head and smiles; says alright and turns on passions.

There's a moment in 'Once More, With Feeling' I've always really loved.

It's when Spike says "Life isn't bliss, life is just this, it's living" - right after he stops her from burning - and strokes Buffy's hair. They look at each other. There's so much love on his face. He smiles slightly when he says "...so one of us is living." It's one of those typical Spuffy moments where they look at each other and the rest of the world seems to fall away, time stops for a moment. Their complete focus is on each other. She doesn't argue. She knows he's right. The world needs her living, just like he does.

At the end of Bring On the Night, When The First is talking to Spike and asks "What makes you think you'll ever be anything at all in this world?" and he goes "She does." THAT is SO important, and it's just a little tiny moment that just defines his love for her, and her love for him.

Absolutely amazing.

 

[SlayerFae]

Yeah, that's another great moment. There are TONS of "little moments" from Spike... the super important ones are when Buffy reciprocates it. Honestly, in the next episode I believe, when Spike confronts her about it and she goes "You know I was thinking about Giles right?" That whole scene was Buffy trying to convince HERSELF that it didn't mean anything. Which I thought was funny. I was pretty much saying "bull****!" to her when that aired 🙂

 

[SlayerFae]

Another great great GREAT little moment is when Buffy saves Spike in Showtime. In Buffy's eyes you can see her love for him, and pride that he survived what was obviously a lot of pain and torture, and she almost starts to cry (her lip quivers) at how badly hurt he is and probably about how glad she is that she found him in time. Spike obviously is in awe that she really came to save him (earlier in the episode his little "she will come for me" mantra was a total tear jerker), and he's got this love and relief on his face as he leans on her and sobs a bit. Absolutely beautiful.
