A/N: *Sniff sniff* Well the end is near... or now... NO DON'T CRY!!! I'll be strong for both of us!!! ;_; I CAN'T DO IT!!! ...Ahem sorry. I get over emotional over my fics. Well, this is the last chapter. I hope you had a good time reading it as I had a great time writing it. BUT DON'T WORRY! More fics of mine to come! In fact, I'm starting 2 new fics at once! They're already up! Falling is the first one, it's not a crossover though. Regret is the second one, which is newly... well new. And it will be a crossover, though it's more focused on Angel (the show) then Buffy (the show, not the character). Anyways, I've been prolonging this enough. It's inevitable... is that how that's spelled? Anyways, as the fic starts it must die too. But if you enjoyed this fic (and are tired of this A/N) go read my other fics... AND REVIEW!!! So... on to the end... ;_;
"Spike," Buffy said softly.
"I've been waiting for you to come," he said. "Now you're going to tell me who you chose and I can get on with the celebrating or crying."
"How did you know?" Buffy asked.
"How could I not? Angel comes, he cares for you more than it seems he ever has, and I'm supposed to be your one and only? I knew it had to come sometime, you choosing. I just never thought this soon."
"Spike..." Buffy said sadly. "You're a great guy it's just..."
"You've always loved Angel more than anyone," Spike finished for her. Buffy looked down.
"It's ok pet. I don't cry. I only cry upon the things that matter." Buffy smiled, wiping a tear from his eye.
"So what do I know?" he said dryly. "It's been great. And if you ever need me like you've needed me before well..." he raised an eyebrow, "I'll always be right here."
"Oh Spike," Buffy said laughing. She'd miss him making her laugh like that. But she had made the right decision. Now all she had to do was tell the Angel.
"Buffy..." Angel said, cautiously.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kiss you passionately and then run away."
"Then why are you here?" he asked. Buffy sat on the edge of her bed. How exactly could she tell him that he was the only one for her? Angel stared intently at Buffy. He pulled back her hair.
"Buffy, what did you come here for?" Buffy stared back into Angel's eyes and suddenly pulled him into a very deep kiss.
"I guess I lied," she said, after the kiss had ended.
"But this time you're not running away," Angel said smiling.
"Angel, you're always the one for me. I can't believe I actually had to think about it, how to choose between you and Spike. You're always going to be my first and only true love. You're everything I think of, everything to me. You're the reason I haven't stopped slaying. I love you so much." She started to go on, but Angel kissed her lightly.
"Shh...," he said. "I know. You're the same as me. Whenever I look to tomorrow, all I see is you. All I want is you, even in the past years we've been apart. When I heard you died, I almost died myself. I almost wanted to kill myself. I couldn't think or breathe. But hearing you call my name, that made everything better. Seeing your smile, hearing your voice, touching your hand, all these meaningless things mean the world to me. I couldn't have imagined leaving here without you. I never would have." Buffy smiled, joyous tears pouring out of her eyes.
Spike lay in his crypt, staring at the ceiling. She had chosen Angel, just like he knew she always would have. It just came sooner than he expected, sooner than he hoped. He wanted longer with her. But being with her for even a second was better than not having her at all. Tears fell from his eyes. He tried to stop, but that just made the tears fall harder. Buffy was his, not Angel's. Angel had had his chance. But knew that Buffy would alwyas choose Angel, even if they had had hundereds of chances. Spike turned over, crumpled into a small ball.
"Why me?" he shouted. "Why is it always me?!"
Buffy lay in Angel's arms resting. He was hers, all hers. She glanced at the Claddagh ring, the heart pointed the opposite way than how it had been and saw Angel's the same. She smiled at his angelic face and kissed his nose. His eyes opened slowly and he smiled at her face. He kissed her and they went back to the way as it had been before. Her being all his, in his arms, forever.
They hadn't even begun.
A/N: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT'S OVER!!! Ok, how bout I kill her again? Maybe then it can last longer! But I know better. This fic is done ;_;. I do have more on the way though! They both have one chapter each. Actually, Regret only has a short prolouge so far because I haven't had time to work on it much. But please enjoy those fics and review them too. ^_^
