Morpheus looked down on the slumbering form pleased. He was happy. You could tell because there was a smile plastered on his face that could light a room. And to the God, it did. Mnemosyne peeked in from the door and walked up beside the youthful God. "So I see our plan has been going well?"
Morpheus grinned and looked back at Angel. "Very well."
"He's so pitiful. You know that when he wakes for a while he will happy, but it will wear off knowing that it can never come true."
"Ah, you doubt my powers. Right now I am awaiting a meeting with Zeus." Morpheus said, turning his head to look at the radiant goddess.
"Yes. But what for, pretell?"
"I wish to give him what he so desires."
"But it's not our part to dabble in mortal affairs." Mnemosyne whispered, afraid the main gods and goddess would hear of their blasphemy.
"No. You misunderstand. Like I told my father, he is not mortal."
"But the girl is." She said, looking down as Angel whitered in ecstacy in his bed.
"Yes, but she is touched by immortal. The blood that runs through her veins is immortal. Slayers are one of a kind, yes, but they share a bond."
"And that is...?"
"Their blood. It's theirs. There's no other like it."
'Which is why the vampires go for them all the time. I've begun to understand. But even if we bring her back... He'll have to travel to Hades to get her." Mnemosyne looked struck, like Morpheus didn't understand the consequences they are talking about.
"He's been there. And he's already proven he'd go back. For the right cost that is." Morpheus smiled. "Plus I know Zeus has watched this particular slayer very closely. He admires her courage and doesn't like to see her deep in the part of the world his brother owns."
"So we fight for them?" Mnemosyne asked, walking to Morpheus and bowing on a knee before him.
Morpheus looked down at her and pulled her up to a standing position. "No dear Goddess... we fight for the world."

Angel purred in his sleep. Buffy ws doing things to him... things he'd never imagined. She came up to rest beside him, laying her head on his chest. He smiled down at her and wiped a stray lock of golden hair out of her eyes. She looked up at him and softly kissed him on the lip. "We can't stay like that forever you know." She said, looking down.
"I know. But just for a little while longer." He said, closing his eyes and reveling in her touch.
"You have to let go of me."
"Never." He said, sitting up and laying her head into his lap. She looked up at him as he stroked her hair. "You're my everything. I'd die for you."
"You've already done that."
"Well I'd do it a million more times." He said, lightly kissing her on the forehead.
She smiled and nestled back into his chest. "I love you Angel."
"I love you." He said, lightly stroking her arm. He laid his head on hers and fell asleep.
***
Angel smiled deeply in his sleep, cradling a pillow at his side. A contented sigh escaped his lips.
A nightengale wooed from the window sill of his room. Angel's face grew distorted.
***
"You have to go." Buffy said, standing, wrapping the sheet around herself.
"I don't want to." He said, wrapping the sheet around the both of them. They shared a kiss, and he pulled her into a hug.
"I'll see you when you dream." She said, before melting away.
***
Angel opened his eyes and saw the moon shining in at him. He sighed and pushed the pillow he'd been clutching away from him and set his feet on bare wooden floor. He stretched his toes and walked into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and sighed, knowing that he couldn't see it, but not caring. He turned on the water and splashed his face with it. He wiped off his face and walked downstairs. That's when he realized it had only been 3 hours. It'd seemed like he slept a day and half. He smiled ot hiself and headed back upstairs to his bed. And to Buffy.
End part 3. See. I told you it got Better. And I'll say it again. It gets Better.
Morpheus grinned and looked back at Angel. "Very well."
