Authors Note- This is set after "I Only Have Eyes For You" at the end of
that episode. It's going to be pretty long.
"It must have been love but it's over now It was all that I wanted; now I'm living without It must have been love but it's over now It's where the water flows; it's where the wind blows" -Roxette
As Buffy and Angel's bodies embraced the spirits left the bodies. The spirits were reunited at last. Buffy and Angel kept kissing until Buffy pulled away. She looked into his eyes confused. In his eyes she saw confusion, a hunger that she knew that they both felt and something else. "Angel?" she whispered her tone questioning. He threw her away from him and ran outside.
"I looked into your eyes They told me plenty I already knew You never felt a thing So soon forgotten All that you do" -Sarah McLachlan
I don't believe this, Angel thought. I was kissing the slayer! He growled loudly. This is just freaking wonderful! He sighed feeling almost defeated then straightened and continued walking.
What was that about? Buffy wondered as she walked to Giles' house. After the possession was over we were still kissing. Why?
"Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes you cry Have you ever needed something so bad You can't sleep at night Have you ever tried to find the words But they don't come out right Have you ever, have you ever" -Brandy
You still love her, Angel's voice whispered. Always have always will.
Shut up! he told the voice. Leave me alone. It struck him how insane it was to be yelling at a voice in his head. He shook his head and tried to stop thinking all together.
This all makes no sense, Buffy thought. Then her thoughts turned to Angel. Her Angel. We were like Romeo and Juliet. Except, Romeo became a blood- sucking monster and Juliet is going to be forced to kill him. We did everything that was expected of us. We listened to everyone's orders. The one time we ignored what we were and just allowed ourselves to be two people madly in love. Now he wants me dead. So why did he keep kissing me?
"Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight" -Alanis Morissette
Why am I going to do? Angel asked himself. He sighed again and sat down on the curb. Then he saw the blond girl as she rounded the curb and smiled bitterly. Figures, he thought. She stopped in her tracks seeing him. He stood and leaned against the tree. "Hello lover," he said but his voice had lost its edge. She simply stared at him waiting.
"What do you want Angel?" she demanded crossing her arms.
"You," he said clearly.
"I'm sorry but that's not going to happen," she started to leave. He moved to stand in front of her. "Get out of my way."
"No," he said not moving.
"Angel-" she warned. He suddenly had her backed against tree he had been leaning against. "Let me go."
"Not happening," he said.
"Okay I warned you," she said with a shrug. She kicked out knocking him backwards. She then did a roundhouse kick knocking him to the ground. She straddled his legs and took out a stake.
"Do it," he told her.
"What?" she asked.
"Do it," he repeated. "Because I can't. I've tried Buff but when it comes down to it I'm weak."
"That's sweet," she said. "But not going to work."
"I'm serious," he told her. "When I look at you I see you like soul-boy did. It's quite disturbing. If you're going to do it get it over with or I will."
"See that's exactly what I meant!" she exclaimed. "You're threatening to kill me again."
"No," he interrupted. "You're absolutely wrong about that." He used his weight to switch their positions. He pinned the arm that held the stake and used his own legs to pin hers. "I'm not going to kill you lover, well I am but only temporarily." He took her other hand and put it above her head before she could move also pinning her hair down so she couldn't move her head either.
"No," she said her voice filled with terror.
"Sorry Buff but it's been leading up to this," he said thoughtfully. "Now be a good girl and don't fight."
"Screw you," she said. He smiled slightly. Then the nearly angelic expression was replaced by his demonic vestige. He bent over her neck and bit down slowly. She gasped but was shocked to find how gentle he was and that it didn't hurt. He pulled away after a while and very slowly licked off the excess blood. He looked down at her with a small smile. "I hate you," she whispered.
"I know," he said with a shrug. "But I don't care." He slit his own throat and drew her mouth to it. She tried to not swallow but soon lost consciousness.
