It was a 'typical' night in Sunnydale. Buffy had just returned from patrolling and she had killed about 3, that were, as usual, already dead. She threw her coat onto her bed and sat in a chair by window. It was an icy cold outside, not dangerous, just the kind you want to curl up with someone you love by the fire with. Snowflakes started to fall again and a shape appeared on the roof next to her window. Angel knocked twice and Buffy opened it, amazed he was out on a night like this.

"Thanks. It was getting cold."

"I know. It's really unusual weather." Buffy said, looking at her lover. He was still as handsome as she always remembered him but he looked so cute with snow on his jacket and in his ruffled hair.

"Aren't you going to close the window?" he asked her, not waiting for a reply he shut it and then grabbed her and gently held her close to him.

"Your so warm." She felt a tingling sensation fill her, the kind of warmth she had been missing since last night. She really cared for him, and he for her.

"Mmm, I love being alive." He nuzzled her and held her closer.

"Let's go for a walk." Buffy wanted to spend all of her time with him. The night was just as good as the day. She grabbed her jacket and opened her window.

"Why don't we use the door like normal people?" Angel questioned. *Too late*. She was already out on the roof.

"I'll go first and then catch you." He climbed out the window after her and shut it leaving room for a finger to be slid under and opened again. *Just in case.* Angel jumped down off the roof and landed like a cat on the snow dusted grass.

"Here I come!" Buffy jumped off the roof and into her lovers arms. He carried her over to the sidewalk and then put her down and they walked together down the street. Cars occasionally drove by. The two talked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years yet, they had just seen each other the day before. They talked about anything that came to mind. Enjoying each others company on the cold winter night.
