"If I Were A Real Boy"

Buffy and Angel were at Angel's place sitting in front of the fireplace cuddling not talking but just sitting there in each other's arms. Buffy liked the time she spent with Angel. The only thing that was bad about seeing Angel was that they got to snuggle and kiss but that was it. They both knew that nothing could ever happen. Just a moment of true happiness and Angel would lose his soul. Angel could tell that Buffy was think about something.

"Buffy…. What are you thinking about," Angel asked shifting a little

"Nothing really just us," Buffy said turning towards Angel. She looked up into his loving eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to his face. When she kissed him he was alittle tense at first but then loosened up and really go into it. Their kiss was full of passion wanting each other but knowing they couldn't have each other. Angel broke the kiss.

"It's getting late Buffy" Angel looked at his watch

"Yeah mom gets worried a lot earlier these days," Buffy gathered up her bag and got ready to leave. But Angel stopped her and gave her one last kiss.

"Will I see you tomorrow," Angel asked ending the goodbye kiss

"Yeah I've got nothing to do except a quick patrol and then I'm all yours," Buffy said smiling at the whole I'm yours thing.

Whistler was sitting in his apartment when the Powers-that-be came down from threw the ceiling.

"Hey man that's gonna cost a lot to fix," Whistler said referring to the ceiling

"We are here on business, Angel…" The golden figures said at once

"Yeah I know Angel he's my bud… what about him?" Whistler asked

"He has redeemed himself…. He are giving him the power of a vampire but he will be human," the recited

"Really? What's I got to do with this," Whistler asked

"You will give him the news," After that was said they disappeared into the heavens from which they came.

Buffy was patrolling she hadn't seen anything… no vampires, no demons, no nothing. She sat down on the bench for a little rest when she was attacked from behind. It was a vampire that thought he prove himself to his vamp friends by killing the slayer. Buffy and the vampire fought. The vampire got Buffy in a headlock. Right when the vampire was about to sink his teeth into our heroin someone pulled it off. Turning around expecting to see Angel but instead seeing Whistler.

"What do you want," Buffy said staking the Vampire

"Your welcome Buff don't worry about it," Whistler said

"My name is Buffy not Buff and thanks but again what do you want," Buffy said beginning to get annoyed

"I figured you'd be going to my man Angel's house and I gotta talk to him," Whistler said as he started walking

"Yeah I am going to Angel's and what do you want to talk to him about," Buffy asked catching up with him

"Shop talk," Whistler said leaving Buffy hanging

Buffy and Whistler got to Angel's mansion Buffy walked in first and Angel greeted her with a kiss but soon he saw Whistler and stopped.

"What do you want," Angel said

"Man doesn't anyone say Hi anymore," Whistler said ignoring Angel's rudeness, "Angel man can I talk to you with out Buffy for a sec."

Angel and Buffy were both skeptical about it but finally Buffy left and went it to Angel's bedroom.

"Okay so what's the deal," Angel asked offering a seat to Whistler

"This morning the Powers-that-be came to visit me and guess what they said," Whistler took a seat on the couch

"What?" Angel asked growing more and more impatient

"They told me that you have redeemed yourself and your human," Whistler said, "Ohh and you get to keep the whole super power crap."

"If this is some kind of joke I swear…" Angel picked up Whistler by collar.

"Man would I lie to you," Whistler was struggling for air. Angel believed him and put him down. "I'm totally serious Angel just watch.." Whistler picked up some Holy water from Buffy's bag she took on patrol with her. He took Angel's hand and poured it on it. Angel pulled away fast expecting it to burn but it did nothing.

"It's true," Angel said looking at his hand

"I told you I wouldn't lie to you buddy," Whistler got up and walked over to the door

"Where are you going," Angel asked

"I'm sure you don't want me around," Whistler said nudging his head towards the door of Angel's bedroom. Angel got his hint.

Buffy was sitting on Angel's bed running her fingers over the patterns of the covers. Angel opened the door and Buffy stood up.

"Hey, what did he want?" Buffy asked but Angel didn't answer he just moved closer to her, "Angel?"

Angel walked over to Buffy and kissed her. Buffy was shocked she didn't know what was happening but she liked it so she went with the flow. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers threw his hair. Angel picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him. He walked over to the bed and sat down. Buffy pulled away from him.

"Angel we can't…" Angel stopped her with his mouth. He laid her down and started kissing her neck and then back to her lips. Angel pulled down the covers and him and Buffy crawled under them. Buffy gave in she didn't try to fight she just let it happen.

In the morning Buffy woke up scared Angel wasn't next to her. Ohh God what have I done. She couldn't find her shirt so she threw on one of Angel's. She went into the living room where her bag was and got out a stake getting ready for the worst. She heard noises coming from one of the other rooms. She walked into the room getting ready to kill her only love if she had to but instead of finding a brutal killer she found Angel making breakfast.

"Hey Buffy! How'd you sleep," Angel walked over to Buffy and kissed her. She knew that is was really Angel because not ever Angleus could fake a kiss as full of love like that one was.

"Angel…" Buffy said still taking in what was happening

"I made you breakfast…. That shirt looks good on you," Angel said noticing Buffy wearing his shirt. Gosh she looks so beautiful. I could get used to this real fast Angel thought.

"So whatca making?" Buffy asked walking over to the stove

"Hey it's a surprise," Angel said pushing Buffy away from the stove.

"Angel… what happened? You still have a soul and everything," Buffy said sitting down at the table

"Yeah it's a gift from the powers-that-be…I've redeemed myself and they also let me keep Vamp strength so I can still help you out ," Angel walked over to the table and bent down to kiss Buffy. When he bent down Buffy flipped him over so he was ½ way on the table. Buffy started kissing him and she started to undo his shirt. Angel took his hand and slid off the stuff on the table. He then scooted back some so he was totally on the table. Buffy crawled on top of him and he took off her shirt or should I say his shirt. As Buffy and Angel were busy on the table their breakfast was burning.

Buffy and Angel were sitting at the table eating burnt eggs and bacon. Angel looked across the table into Buffy's eyes full of love and passion.

"Ohh my," Buffy said looking at her watch

"What's wrong Buffy," Angel asked

"I'm late for school." Buffy said

"I'll take you," Angel said getting up and putting his shirt on

Buffy walked into Angel's room and got her normal cloths on and got her school bag together. Angel was waiting for her at the door. The thought of everyone seeing Angel at school made her shiver. What will they say? What will they think? They'll be happy for me! Buffy and Angel walked outside into the daylight. Angel looked down at Buffy seeing her for the 1st time in real sunlight and loving how beautiful she was.

When they walked on to campus the Scooby Gang didn't really notice Angel that's because they didn't look close enough.

"Hey isn't that Angel," Oz asked

The gang turned around and noticed that Angel was walking with his arm around Buffy. In the day light.

"Ohh my," Willow said

"What happened," Giles said as he walked over to Buffy and Angel

"Angel's human but with vampire strength" Buffy said looking at Angel

Giles and the rest of the gang looked dumbfounded like they didn't believe what was happening. The bell rang and Buffy said goodbye to Angel and kissed him. Her and Willow walked to their class with Oz and Xander close behind.

"Angel would you mind coming to the library with me," Giles asked

"Sure, am I in trouble," Angel asked kidding around

"No I just want to test some stuff out," Giles and Angel walked into the school building.

The final bell rang telling all the Sunnydale High school students that it was time to leave. Giles and Angel had spent the whole day in the library. When Buffy and Willow walked out of there last hour room Buffy ran into Angel who was coming out of the library.

"Wow Angel hey," Buffy said surprised to see Angel

"Hey I was with Giles and we lost track of time, ready to go home," Angel said putting an arm around Buffy.

"Sure yeah, Willow I'll see you tonight at the Bronze," Buffy said as her and Angel left

"I've gotta stop at home 1st," Buffy said turning left to go to her house.

"Sure yeah….what's your mom gonna say about last night," Angel asked alittle worried

"Ohh I'll just tell her that I was slaying all night no biggie," Buffy said calmly

Buffy and Angel walked into her house and Joyce greeted her daughter worried.

"Ohh God Buffy your okay," Joyce said hugging her daughter

"Yeah mom sorry I was slaying all night," Buffy said pulling away from her mother's hug.

"Angel…" Joyce moved her attention to Angel

"Yeah Hello Mrs. Summers," Angel said trying to be as sweet as possible

"I thought you could only come out during night," Joyce said

"Well I'm not a vampire anymore," Angel said

"Well good for you," Joyce said

"Mom Im gonna go get some of my stuff then Angel and me are gonna go to the Bronze and then patrolling…that's alright with you isn't it?" Buffy asked

"Yeah as long as your careful," Joyce replied

Buffy and Angel went up stairs. Buffy changed into her Bronze outfit and Angel sat on her bed watching.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel and Buffy arrived at the Bronze. Willow, Oz, Xander, and Cordy were all waiting for them at a table.

"Hey you two lovebirds," Xander said

"Hey Xander," Buffy said sitting down at the table, "What's up?"

"Xander dance with me," Cordy said impatiently

"Alrighty," Xander got up and lead Cordy to the dance floor

"Sounds like fun," Buffy hinted at Angel

"Buffy you want to dance," Angel said grabbing Buffy's hand

"I thought you'd never ask," Buffy said getting up

Buffy and Angel made their way onto the dance floor. Angel wrapped his arms around Buffy's waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Angel bent down and kissed Buffy.

"Hey what do you say we get outa here," Buffy said ending this kiss. She knew that Angel would never suggest that they leave he was a gentleman.

"Sounds good," Angel and Buffy went over to the table and got their coats. They waved to Cordy and Xander who were on the floor and said goodbye to Willow and Oz at the table.

Buffy woke up in Angels arms after a long night.

"Hmm I like waking up with you," Buffy said looking up at Angel

"Me too," Angel said still alittle sleepy

"I should get ready for school," Buffy went over to the bag she packed. This time she had been smart enough to back some extra cloths for over night visits.

"Buffy I'll come with you… but today I'm gonna empty out one of my dresser drawers and you can keep some of your cloths in it," Angel said as he was putting some cloths on.

"That'd be cool," Buffy said gathering her things together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After school Angel came to pick Buffy up but was stopped by Giles. He took Angel into the library where Buffy and the Scooby Gang was.

"What's wrong," Angel asked

"There's a nest of demons and I can't seem to find what kind they are anywhere." Giles said flipping threw the pages in his book. Angel looked over at Buffy seeing how pretty she looked. Buffy looked up at him and saw alittle gleam in his eye.

"Giles…. I have a book at my house that probably has it in it," Angel said grabbing Buffy's hand, "Buffy should come with me."

"Book….oh book…," Buffy said realizing what Angel was really talking about

Buffy and Angel ran out of the library hand in hand.

"There is no book," Xander said

"I know… but they deserve it," Giles said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning Angel woke Buffy up.

"Morning sweetie," Angel said as Buffy ran her fingers threw her hair quickly

"Mmmm morning," Buffy said crawling over top of him

"Where are you going," Angel asked following Buffy with his eyes

"Shower," was the only think Buffy said

Buffy turned on the shower and took off her cloths and then got in. She let the water run over her for awhile kinda waking her up. When she reached down for the soap she saw two bare feet. The shower curtain opened and Angel stepped in.

"Room for two," Angel asked

"Hmm I think if we smush," Buffy said smiling

Angel moved closer to Buffy and started kissing her Buffy wrapped her legs around her waist and ran her fingers threw his hair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy walked into the school building with her hair still wet.

"Buffy I love that look…. Wet rat," Cordy remarked rudely as she always did. Xander nudged her.

"Yeah its was this whole…. You don't want to hear about it," Buffy said

"I do I do," Willow said locking arms with her best bud

Willow and Buffy walked off to there class leaving Oz, Xander, and Cordy standing there.

"Well this morning I woke up and went to take a shower and guess who joined me?" Buffy was telling Willow what happened

"Angel!!" Willow said a little to loudly

"Yeah Angel and let's just say that I didn't get to much showering done," Buffy giggled

"Wow," was all Willow could say

"I know," Buffy walked into her 1st hour classroom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy and Angel were patrolling, more kissing than patrolling. They had just got staking a vampire. They were walking back on there way to the mansion when Angel stopped her.

"Buffy I know that your still in high school and your probably gonna go to college too but that's okay I'll go with you…. Well Buffy what I am trying to say is…..

Buffy Anne Summers will you marry me," Angel asked as he bent down on one knee.

"Angel…. Yes," Buffy said threw her tears as Angel slipped the ring onto her finger. He stood up and she jumped on him and started kissing him.

"We can wait until your ready," Angel said pulling apart from the kiss

"I'm ready now," Buffy said sweetly kissing him again.
