1. Similar Scars

Title: Similar Scars
Author: Hieiko
Fandom: Angel the Series
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Written for tv100's Battle Scars challenge. Wesley/Lilah, in an AU AtS Season 5.

Everyday, Lilah entered the offices of Wolfram and Hart exuding poise and confidence as usual, except dressed in infinitely more expensive clothing. She also never wore the same scarf twice.

Wesley wondered what it said about him that he paid attention to the scarf, and was terrified of what it concealed. Often his hand strayed to his own throat then, finding only smooth flesh, and feeling foolish at the notion that somehow they should have had similar scars.

But everyday he and Lilah would also somehow end up together behind locked doors, where time slowed down and scars had no meaning.
