Hello, everyone! This is my first fanfic, so bear with me here. Sorry if it isn't very good x3 This first chapter will be short, but I will do another one soon. Expect a lot of fluff and a bit of angst. My next fanfic, however, if I do one, will not be canon in regards to the Angel dying aspect, so that will be happier Anyway, without further ado…
December 27th
Collins jiggled the key in the lock, then opened the door to his apartment.
"Angel, I'm home! Are you there?" he called out as he set his bag of school stuff down. He looked around nervously, walking to the room that he and Angel shared. "Honey?" Angel's favorite wig, the jet-black bob, was gone, and in its place was a note reading "Went to the Life with Mimi, be back around 6"
The professor looked at the cheap bedside alarm clock. 4:00. He would have time before Angel got back to have an early dinner. Searching through the cupboard, he found a cup of vegetable Top Ramen. He filled it with some water from the sink, then put it in the microwave. While his ramen was heating, he thought about Angel. She was always giving so much to him, and he wanted to give back for once since that Christmas Eve. He wanted to really show his girl that he loved her, that she meant the world to him.
By the time the microwave beeped, Collins had figured out what he would do. He slurped the ramen down quickly, keeping his eye on the clock. 4:05. He could have just enough time if he moved quickly. He had to get the stuff he needed, do some quick talking, and get back in time to surprise his Angel. After tossing the cardboard cup and plastic fork in the trash and leaving a note for Angel that he went shopping in case she came home before him, he slipped out the door and locked it behind him.
Check back for a very fluffy chapter x3
