Summary: Angel and Buffy have been stealing glances from each other.
Dedication: Lorna! You inspired me with Silent Screams ( )
A/N: * = thoughts, " = someone says something, '= sign language. I don't know if mute people go to school with other kids but in my universe they do.
He was sitting to the left. She was sitting in the front row to the right. But that didn't matter. They had been looking at each other for the last three weeks. Both knew they had a thing for each other. Perhaps it was time to do something about it? Angel decided it was. Buffy is mute, so what? Love doesn't care.
"That was all for today. Remember to read page 56 - 60" The teacher said.
Everyone left. Angel hurried up to Buffy and lightly touched her arm.
"Can I talk to you?"
Buffy nodded for her best friend, Fred, to leave.
Angel took a deep breath. *Here it goes...*
"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to go out with me, because I like you."
Buffy gave him a big smile. Slowly she nodded and Angel's face relaxed. *Poor guy* Buffy thought *he has been so nervous.*
Quickly she wrote down 'Friday?' on a paper.
"Can I pick you up at seven?"
Buffy nodded again. It was the easiest answer she could give him.
"Thanks. You are great Buffy!"
They left the room together but split up to find their own friends.
"What did Angel want?" asked Fred.
'He asked me out.' signed Buffy.
"Finally something is happening."
Buffy pulled her away.
Buffy had big problems. What to wear when you are going to a date with the guy you have been checking out for weeks. Deciding to make it simple she pulled out her favourite pants and a top. It looked good. She sat down in front of her laptop and got online.
~*~Buffy~*~: Hey! Watcha doing?
:D Fred :D: Nothing waiting for someone. You?
~*~Buffy~*~: Waiting for my date to pick me up. He actually asked me out, Fred!
:D Fred :D: Finally happy?
~*~Buffy~*~: Yep. Now I only got to keep him(.
The doorbell rings.
~*~Buffy~*~: Gotta go now. CU!
:D Fred :D : Bye.
Buffy logged off and put the laptop down in her usual bag. She always had it with her. She almost ran down the stairs and opened the door. *God, he really knows how to dress.* She gave him a small hug; it was the easiest way to say hey.
"Hey to yourself. Ready to go?"
"Buffy, where are you going?"
It was her mom.
'We are just going to the Bronze. I'll be home be midnight.'
'Sure. Just one thing, keep him longer that Seb, he looks more educated.'
'Mom! That was not nice!'
'Okay, go and have fun.'
"Mind letting me know what you are talking about?" Angel cut in.
"Nope" Joyce said. "You don't want to know. Get going now!"
Buffy grabbed his hand and dragged him away.
As they entered the local club Angel saw Gunn and a girl he seemed to recognize. He turned to Buffy and she nodded. They went over there. Buffy smiled when she saw who it was.
"Gunn, you didn't-"
"Angel... hey."
Buffy went over to Fred and began questioning her!
'Why didn't you tell me?! We could have double dated!'
'I kind of wanted to keep it a secret a little longer.'
'Longer? How long have you been involved?'
'Two months!'
'This is so great!'
'I know!!'
"Girls! Wanna tell us what you are discussing?"
It was Gunn who interrupted them.
"We are here too you know." He continued.
"We were just discussing double dates." Fred said and got a punch in her side from Buffy.
'Yeah yeah, can you take my bag for a song or two? I wanna dance with my Mr gorgeous.'
Fred burst out laughing.
"What?" Angel asked.
Buffy just gave her bag to Fred and took Angel's hand and went to the dance floor. She wanted to be close to him and she knew he felt the same, or at least almost.
The night was pleasant for both of them but sure it was little difficult for Buffy to express what she wanted since Angel didn't understand sign language, yet.
That was years ago. Angel had thought about joining the police but Buffy stated she did not want her man being shot by some criminal, so the police was out of question. He loved to write and draw and Buffy did approve that. For the moment he sat in a comfy chair with his laptop in his lap trying to finish his second book. The first one had been a great success. Now he had to succeed with this one as well. Buffy had gone to visit her mother and sister a few blocks away. Suddenly a familiar name logged in.
~*~Future bride~*~: Hey honey! What are you doing? Thinking of me?
~Angelic one~: Kind of. I'm trying to finish my book. Want to help me?
~*~Future bride~*~: It can't be that hard. Just make Tim and Sophie realize that Roger isn't there friend and he set them up. End it there and you can finish it in your next book.
~Angelic one~: I'll think about it. ( So why aren't you spending time with Joyce and Dawn?
~*~Future bride~*~: Mom was about to take a shower when I got here, said it would go fast. Dawn is at Rick's. Listen, I've been thinking about our wedding and I want to make some changes, can we talk about them when I get home?
~Angelic one~: Sure, I'll be eagerly waiting.
~*~Future bride~*~: Thanks! You're the best. Love you, honey.
~Angelic one~: Love you too, baby. Don't be gone all day!
~*~Future bride~*~: I won't.
Buffy logged off and Angel knew exactly how to end his story now. Buffy's idea was good and he had got one of his own.
