AN: To all those people who were leaving me nasty messages: {THIS MEANS YOU HOOBIE!!!}
Listen,
I like constructive criticism. However I HATE reviews that say nothing more than this is stupid or bash my chosen ship. You like B/S? Fine. BUT DON'T EXPECT B/A FANS TO SHARE YOUR VIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hey Buffy."
"Who is –Angel?" Buffy was stunned.
"So the absentee ex comes back to stir up some fresh hell." Willow's tone was sharp and momentarily threw Angel.
"Hello to you too."
"Skip the pleasantries, just tell me who is in grave danger, or what apocalypse is planned." Buffy was bitter.
"I just wanted to see you."
"Bullsh*t." Xander snorted.
"Did I ask you?" Angel was furious.
"You. Have. No. Right. To. Address. My. Friend. That. Way." Buffy's voice was cool and deadly.
"Buffy I-,"
"Shut up."
"Please." Angel begged quietly, "Just listen."
"Start talking."
"Ummmm, It's rather private."
"Anything you have to say can be said in front of my friends."
"It's about the curse."
"So?"
"Theclauseisgone." Angel spoke quickly.
"What?"
"He said the clause is-Omigod! Are you serious!" Willow was freaking.
"The version you cast was clause-free."
"That's so great!" Willow ran and hugged him before remembering what he had done. She then backed far away.
"Thank you." Angel looked expectantly at Buffy.
"What? You expect me to jump for joy now that you can be with whoever you want? Sorry, I'm not that selfless." Buffy was on the verge of a total breakdown. "Sorry I can't be happy about the man I love being able to be with anyone he wants except me because he loves me too much and is too damn noble to realize that all I want is him."
"I think you need to go." Xander's voice was steely.
"You've grown up." Angel was amazed by the maturity he saw in the boy.
"A lot of things have changed."
"Nothing is the same." Willow's tone was wistful.
" But at the same time everything is." Buffy sounded depressed.
Angel put an arm around her "There's enough changed for us. If you still want me that is."
"Give me time."
Review and find out whether they get together again!
