Faith frowned as she twirled her stake in her hand, Angel was walking next to her as they made their way down the London street. Faith looked at Angel as they walked and she didn't like what she saw, He had just got back from Cleveland and even though he was right beside her he seemed more distant than ever, He was looking down at his feet and the look on his face surprised Faith, He wasn't brooding like usual, The look was one Faith had never seen before, He looked sad. Faith reached out and grabbed Angel's arm stopping him in his tracks.

"Angel." He looked back at her. "Are you okay."

Angel put on a fake smile Faith could see right through. "Yeah why wouldn't I be".

Faith shrugged her shoulders . "You tell me". Angel looked at her as if he didn't know what she was talking about, Faith sighed. "Alright I'll tell you, you just got back from Cleveland, B and Spike are being all coupley again and you come home trying to act like it doesn't kill you but it does and Angel I know neither one of us are for the whole letting the feeling's out thing but if you need to let it all out you know I'm right here to listen".

"Faith I don't want to talk about his." Angel turned to continue walking but Faith sped up and stood in front of him, Stopping him once again. Angel tried side step her but she stopped him each way he went until he let a frustrated sigh and stopped completely. "Faith move."

Faith Stepped up to him. "No not until you tell me, Because I know it's a weight you need to get off your shoulders".

Angel face took on a mixture of fluster and anger for a moment. "Fine, you wanna know how I feel, it does kill me and I know I messed up big and I deserve it but I just can stop the feeling and now all I want to do is just forget about all of it, her him, all of them, I just want to move on and never think about them again, the thing is, is that's the part that scares me because, well I think you can guess why, It hurts and pisses me off but the problem is that I'm not allowed to feel that way because It's my fault in the first place and its selfish and childish but I can't help it and now you have me acting all girly and pathetic, so now I just want to go home and never think about it again, so Faith can we please just go home now

Faith couldn't believe what she was seeing, Angel was crying, not bawling or anything but she could see tears, She walked up to him, slowly and put her hand on his cheek and made him look at her before caressing the other side of his face then she gently as if he was fragile wiped his tears away. Angel to his hand and put it over hers to tell her he liked the feeling then she stood up on her tippy toes and kissed him slowing, gently and passionately. When Faith retracted she looked him dead in the eye to see what was there and she found that Angel was looking back at her the same way.

"wha-What was that for." He asked and Surprisingly Faith didn't hesitate with her answer.

"It was to show you that no matter what, I forgive you and I will always forgive you and is was also to show you that no matter what anyone else thinks of you, I choose you". Faith put an emphasis when said I like she was referring to something. "I will always Choose you". She reaches down and entwines their fingers. Angel didn't say anything as he didn't know what to say at that moment so he just stayed silent as They walked home hand in hand.
