To say he was nervous would be an understatement, his claws were a little shaky even. He had prepared something simple he knew she liked, cheese pizza and hay tacos. It was no secret Spike was an amazing cook, evidence being how Gilda ate a piece with a satisfying moan. He knew not to make anything fancy, Gilda wasn't the kind of girl for extravagant meals.The conversation could have been better though, it mostly consisted of how the day went, plans for the weekend, and some light gossip. Spike learned today that Cherilee was dating a changeling name Ajax, one of Thorax guards. Though for the last small moment it was quiet till Gilda spoke.

"Hey, uhhh, Spike?" she asked eating the last bit of crust from the pizza. "I know it's kind of taboo to talk about exes on the first date but whats with these rumors about you and Applejack?"

Spike gave small smile, "You interested like everyone in town for that information?" Wiping his mouth and sitting straight, he blushed a bit. "Keep this a secret? Applejack would kill me if anyone knew, especially if she knew I was the one who was told."

Gilda sat up in her seat, curious she spoke with more enthusiasm than she thought, "I swear I will never tell!"

"Me and Applejack are uhh, we are friends with benefits." He was blushing madly, awkward smile on his face and eyes on Gilda who hasn't said anything then all of the sudden.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT!!" She stood her chair shooting back from her pure force. "Don't get me wrong I'm not the only one who thought of it. The spa twins, Doctor Whooves, and Zecora were with me, Dash and the others just thought it was awkward friend jitters!" She went on rambling, excited smile on her face and Spike couldn't deny it. 'She's was really cute when she does this.' he thought. He was watching her, how she moved, how she spoke, the way her wings would flutter when she got excited, and how he eyes sparkled a bit when she smiled. It was something different when you sat and focused on the person rather than their words, you see them, and Spike liked what he was seeing.

That was until Gilda said, "It's almost like what the rumors of me and Dash were back in flight school!"

"Wait, what?" Because that was the best time to start paying attention. "You and Rainbow used to.."

"No, we didn't that was a stupid rumor made by Cloud Beam, cause I was in the shower with Dash to help her get gum out her mane." Rolling her eyes and pulling her chair back under her as she sat down. "I can get I can be very tomboy-ish but, a lot of people think I bat for the other team."

"Not gonna lie, I thought you were when I first met you." A blush on him face as he looked to her nervously.

"I'm used to it, it's fine. Though word to the wise, for future reference, I'm Bisexual. Ya know, in case you and AJ ever want to get adventurous." Winking at the already blushing dragon. 'Guy probably isn't used to this, just look at that cute red face. Then again a little tease never hurt anybody.' was what she thought, until she saw the smile on Spikes face.

"I though you would never ask." That caught her off guard. "I will have to warn you though, Applejack taught me how to use rope pretty well." That turned her on.

"Like you could handle all of this, I'm not afraid of getting a little dirty." Raising the cup to her mouth to take a drink of the slightly spiked punch, her idea, to hide the fact she was blushing. Though, doing so stopped her from seeing the dragon stand, and make his way over to her. In other words, she was bluffing, and Spike wasn't afraid to keep his cards on the table. She didn't know he had moved till she put the cup down, and he was beside her. She felt him turn her head and kiss her, a searing hot lust filled kiss. Gilda felt her body relax from it, putty in his claws, even as he picked her up. "S..spike?" was what she muttered but was all she got was a dragons mouth on her own, a tongue dominating hers, and a moan coming from her throat.

Then it stopped, he pulled away but kept her in his arms as he walked through the castle and up the stairs. Gilda sat dazed, aroused, and a little scared as Spike spoke, "As much as I want to. Not on the first date, but, I am down for cuddling. Seeing as your holding onto me like a vise, I take it as a yes." Closing the door and laying with her, he on his back her on top, she only moved to cuddle in his chest, even as they slept.

Author's Note

This chapter kinda feels like filler doesn't it? But its not. Next chapter will be filler though, even for the cloaked beast and the taken barkeep.

Tell me what you think though.
