Valentine's Day Blues
Chapter 2
Buffy jerked at the sharp rap at the door. She peered through the little glass window on the side of the door, trying not to disturb Angel - who's lap she'd been curled up on - and---
Oh. My. God.
She'd seen seen a flash of peroxide blonde hair.
The hair she'd been running her fingers through last night.
The hair that would most definitely torn out from his scalp if Angel found it he had come to Buffy's door, wearing what she thought was an open-collar shirt. Not that she cared what happened to Spike. Right, Buffy?
Willow hadn't really stirred; she had fallen asleep after about ten minutes. But Buffy and Angel had stayed awake, and Willow's " there, but not there" nap had given them a chance to talk about life. Mostly Buffy's life. She shyed away from the subject of her resurrection, instead telling him about Dawn, Xander and Anya's upcoming wedding ( on which Angel was promptly invited to, and he had said her would come - " Harris getting married. Wow. Well, I'll be there, even just to hold him down when he struggles to run," ), Willow's magical abuse, and ( quietly ) Tara and Willow's break-up. She told him about the musical episode in her life, and he told her of the classical ballet gone astray.
"Boy," Buffy said dryly, " Look at all the arts we're exposed to everyday."
They got to the subject of love, it being Valentine's Day and all. Buffy thought it was masochistic, but Angel seemed to believe strongly in his conviction.
" Love is eternal. It never dies. Why would there not be a celebration of this endless, timeless wonder? Buffy, " Angel took her small warm hand into his large, cool ones and spoke softly, " When you died, my love for you didn't die. The place in my heart where you had always been was empty, but my love for you never left." He looked into her eyes sincerely. Without thinking, Buffy went to kiss him. His lips met hers, and that emptiness that had separated them from each other was full again, the connection was re-established. Their kiss grew as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a fever. Buffy moaned into Angel's mouth.
They had made out for about an hour, when they had contentedly fallen asleep together. And then the incessant knocking at the door that had awoken her.
Angel stirred and Buffy froze, afraid of the rage he'd inflict on Spike if he saw him. Buffy slid off of him gently and went to the door. She opened it to reveal Spike - with a huge red teddy bear and a huge bouquet of roses. And chocolate, Buffy wondered? Spike cleared his throat awkwardly. " Buffy. I..." he held out the gifts to her and smiled brightly at her. " I'm sorry. About last night. Do you think we could, uh, start over? Clean slate and all that bloody stuff." He peered at her. " Buffy? What's the matter?" She stared at him blankly, as she set down the gifts on the side table next to the door.
....What happens next? Wouldn't you like to know? :) lol.
I think I'm going to take the advice of Ava, Honey, and seriously, and do both a Spike and an Angel ending. I have two monstrously good ideas for both, so...yeah.
Sorry this is short, but, well, I wanted to get some sleep tonight! Keep reviewing! In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I luv ya!
