A/N Sangre de mi Corazon, means blood of my heart, but, Sangre de mi Sangre, means blood of my blood. Basically Tom was telling her dad no matter how close she is to Connor he still has a closer connection to her. Sorry, I'll try not to slip into Spanish too often, but with that stupid final coming up I can't promise anything.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Connor," Tom said sleepily. "What are you doing here?"

"You're cold," he said simply. "You kicked your blanket off and I'm putting it back on you."

"Why?"

"Because the chills I was receiving because of you was making it impossible for me to considerate on my speech that I'm trying to write before all the excitement of the marking tonight."

"That's right." Tom woke up realizing. "You're Valedictorian and you're writing your speech. God, I'm so sorry I interrupted you."

"It's okay, actually it was kind of nice to have a break and being near you was just a pleasant bonus. Well I better get back to my speech before your dad realizes I'm here and tries to kill me."

"You know that threat doesn't work anymore."

"Yeah, but he hasn't come up with a new one yet. I'll see you at school."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Well I see you too are back together." Amanda smiled as Tomorrow and Connor walked up.

"Hey, we've been through way worse fights with our parents." Tom shrugged. "This one was relatively easy."

"Yeah I'd imagine when you wanted to start patrolling they flipped." Amanda giggled.

"Still trying to repress Uncle Spike's reaction to that one, thank you," Connor shook his head. "He's never done well with the thought of Tom growing up."

"Hey, my daddy just has a unique way of showing he loves me. I have him wrapped around my little finger. All I have to do is look at him with my puppy dog pout and he melts. He's just fiercely protective of what he considers his, and until last weekend I was. It'll just take him some time to get used to the idea."

"So like in vampire terms you two are married?" Amanda asked excitedly.

"Yeah," Tom smiled "But in the human sense we're still just dating and this can't leak out. The press would have a field day with this. Young teen star married at sixteen to a nineteen year old."

"It does sound bad," Amanda agreed, then looked over at Connor, "but totally wrong. I mean you guys have known each other forever and are perfect together. If someone doesn't like it they can analyze how great their dating record is. Speaking of which, I was supposed to meet Max five minutes ago." She apologized as she quickly left.

"You don't think it was a mistake do you?" Connor asked.

"No," Tom insisted, "It was my idea remember, it's just that the rest of the world, especially the media world, don't understand the Scooby way of looking at things. Trust me nothing is wrong between us."
