The Time is Right
After Waiting in the Wings. Fred and Gunn have a fight and at the moment are not together. Wesley knows he shouldn't, but wants to make a move. With Fred correspond or brush Wesley away?
Hyperion Hotel 9:30 am. Angel is in his room with Connor. Cordy is at her desk and Fred is on the laptop. Gunn is on the couch playing with his Game Boy.
"Oh, I think I've found it" Wesley states.
" What?" Fred says a little startled.
" Well, Fred, I was looking for the demon that Cordy saw in her vision and I think I found it" Wesley states starring at Fred.
" Let me see" Cordy says taking the book. " Yeah, this is the one, all gross and scaly"
"Good, and when is she or he, it supposed to be arriving" Wesley asks a little unsure.
" Umm, I think in about a week" Cordy says.
" Well, that leaves us time, right?" Fred asks still looking at her PC screen.
" Yes, yes it should" Wesley says softly as if only talking to Fred.
" So, what does it do?" Gunn says walking over.
" Hmm? Oh, yes, umm well, kill us basically" Wesley says looking up at Gunn.
" Oh, so, how do we stop it?" Gunn asks.
" Um, well, I think beheading shall work" Wesley explains.
" Cool" Gun states walking to weapon cabinet.
" We still need to devise a plan and a strategy," Wesley says still staring at Fred.
Wesley and Fred do some research while Cordy and Angel train.
" (Yawn) I'm a little hungry," Fred says not looking up from her book.
Wesley looks up at Fred with a smile, and then sees Gunn at the doorway. Gunn enters
" Did someone say something about lunch?" Gunn says as Fred turns around and smiles at Gunn as they kiss. " Wes, you in?" Gunn asks
" No, I think I'll work some more" Wesley says.
Gunn and Fred turn and leave. Wesley stares at the doors as they close and watches them walk off hand in hand. About an hour later they come back, but don't proceed to work. Fred goes up to her room and gets a book while Gunn reads a magazine.
Fred runs down with the book and shows it to Gunn.
"Here, this is it" Fred says handing a book titled Romeo and Juliet.
" This is the great and wonderful book you were talking about. It's old and English," Gunn says. He looks at Fred to see a frown on her face.
" This book is meaningful to me, Charles" Fred says almost in tears.
" It's just a book, and it's Shakespeare, it's wimpy and no offence but stupid" Gunn says handing the book back to her. Wesley has watched and heard this whole thing.
" Fine, if that's what you think, let's talk about your Game Boy or stupid magazines. There's literature for ya" Fred says angrily. This time she was determined not to run off. Wesley was amazed she stood up for herself, so was Gunn.
" Hey, my Game Boy is expensive and worth a lot, and my magazines aren't stupid, it's what I like to read ok!" Gunn says almost yelling.
" Then why don't you understand, this is what I like, it's what I like to read. And if you can't accept or respect that, then I don't want anything to do with you" Fred yells back in tears.
" I like it too Fred" Wesley whispers to himself in his office.
Gunn looks at her with a sorry face and wishing he hadn't said anything at all. Wesley stands in amazement, but happy. He is mad Fred got upset, but glad she stood up for her self and stood her ground. With that Fred runs up to her room and slams the door. Wesley hears it and comes out of his office pretending not to know what happened.
" Guun, what happened, she..?" Wesley started
" Just...leave me alone," Gunn says as he leaves the hotel.
Wesley walks up the stairs and knocks on Fred's door. He can hear her crying, but knows she needs to talk.
" Charles, I don't want to see you right now." Fred says expecting Gunn.
" It's me Fred" Wesley says
" Oh, Wesley! Come in" Fred says getting up opening the door.
" I heard you slam the door," Wesley states
" I bet you heard a lot more" Fred mumbles
" Do you want to talk?"
" Well, I just...we..." Fred starts
" It's okay Fred. I understand" Wesley says getting ready to leave.
" No, wait, it's fine" Fred says putting her hand on his shoulder and turning him around.
" Oh, okay then" Wesley says walking over to Fred.
"Well, I don't even know if we belong together anymore" Fred said as Wesley just stared at her.
" And we just had a big fight and.." Fred says mumbling off. " I'm talking too much aren't I"?
" No, not at all" Wesley says staring into her eyes and putting on a small grin.
Fred and Wesley talk for a while about everything and they have a good conversation that brings them closer.
" Oh, it's getting late!" Fred declares looking at her clock.
" Yes, I should go.." Wesley says as he starts to walk out.
" No! You can stay a little longer, I mean if you want" Fred says looking up at Wesley
" Oh, alright if that's what you'd like" Wesley says walking over to her bed.
Wesley sits down and Fred lays her head on his chest. Wesley stunned brushes her hair with his hand and allows her to sit back. He kisses her forehead and she looks up at him with her big brown eyes. Wesley can't help but smile. She leans into him and their lips meet. She kisses him first and then he kisses back. They passionately kiss for several moments and then finally pull apart. Wesley stares at her and smiles in content. Fred smiles back and nuzzles into Wesley again. Unconsciously they fall asleep in each other's arms. The next morning the sun wakes them up. Fred gets up almost forgetting Wesley. She heads into the bathroom and takes a quick shower and changes. When she comes out, Wesley is awake and running his hands through his hair.
" Oh, hey, you...look...great" Wesley says as Fred's walks out in a yellow sundress that fits her curves.
" Thanks" Fred says with her head down.
Wesley comes over and lifts her head with his hand. Their eyes meet and they kiss again. There's a knock at the door and they immediately pull apart. Wesley runs into the bathroom and locks the door. Angel walks in to see Fred.
" Hey, good morning, do you want breakfast? Gunn bought breakfast burritos." Angel states looking around a little.
" Yeah, sure I'd love some" Fred says ready to walk out.
" Is there some one else in here?" Angel asks sensing another human.
" No, no just lil' old me" Fred says walking out, but Angel stops her.
" No, I smell some one in here" Angel says walking into her room.
" No, let's go" Fred says trying to shove him out.
" No, it's some one familiar" Angel says walking towards the bathroom. " Wesley?" Angel asks walking to the bathroom door. Angel turns to Fred. " Is he in there?" Angel asks confused.
" No, no, no one, but me, let's go" Fred says
Angel walks to the bathroom door and breaks in down to find Wesley standing in the middle of the room.
" What the hell is going on?" Angel asks furiously.
" Well, umm, I just..." Wesley starts.
" Did you sleep with her?" Angel asks.
" No, of course not, I checked on her last night and we fell asleep"
Wesley explained
" Oh, is she okay?" Angel asks
"Yeah, got to go, bye" Wesley says running past Angel and grabbing Fred by the arm.
" Ok, I've been meaning to say this for a long time and I don't want Angel to get mad or Gunn, but I love you and I've wanting to go out or do something with you for a long time. So there what do you say?" Wesley says quickly.
" You, you like me?" Fred spits out.
" Yes, very much so.." Wesley starts as Fred cuts him off.
" Me too" Fred whispers
Wesley's eyes widen and he kisses her grabbing her arms. She kisses back, and then he runs off out of the Hotel.
