Dawn:: *walks into the living room, sees him on the couch, and plops down next to him, smiling* Told you I wouldn't be long

Aaron:: *Grins* glad your back got bored and read a Cosmo

Dawn:: *raises an eyebrow* Cosmo?

Aaron:: *Smiles* got really bored

Dawn:: *chuckles* guess so. *grins playfully* find anything interesting?

Aaron:: *chuckles* no but I did try out a peanut butter,turkey and grapefruit sandwich...not a good combo mind you

Dawn:: *makes a face and giggles* I would guess not. Why would you even try that?

Aaron:: *Gives her a look* bored saw them decided to try it

Dawn:: *giggles* Really bored...

Aaron:: *nods8 no where were we

Aaron:: *now

Dawn:: *smiles* you were telling me about your parents and Angela...

Aaron:: *grunts* oh yea...this is going to sound really bad but I don't feel the least bit bad about Angelus draining them

Dawn:: *frowns* You're right. That does sound bad

Aaron:: *Shrugs* but I don't..they treated me and Liam like crap.....

Dawn:: *frowns* but they deserved to die at the hands of Angelus because of it?

Aaron:: *Shrugs* don't know ...never said I was glad they died...said I don't feel bad about it

Dawn:: *raises an eyebrow* So you'll be protective over any daughter we may have, but you weren't over your little sister?

Aaron:: *Shakes his head* she was the devil in human form....

Dawn:: *blinks and frowns* OK then *mumbles* maybe we should have picked a better topic...

Aaron:: *nods* ok pick a new one

Dawn:: *serious face* OK...how about you tell me why you got your soul? *smiles* and not the story of how I know that

Aaron:: *nods* I wanted it plain and simple....so I fought hard for it...got my ass kicked a lot but won in the end and the PTB gave it to me

Dawn:: *raises an eyebrow* But WHY did you want it?

Aaron:: *Lays his head on her lap again* don't remember

Dawn:: *smooths his hair and raises an eyebrow* You know I can tell you're lying right?

Aaron:: *Grins* for some strange reason I was jealous of Liam having one

Dawn:: *blinks* You were jealous of him? Wasn't he *makes a face* sucking on rats at the time you got yours? That made you jealous?

Aaron:: *Chuckles and shakes his head* no I was jealous of the fact that he was the chosen one to fight for the powers when I thought I was a better candidate so I wanted a soul to

Dawn:: *blinks* Oh...ok that makes sense *softly* ever regret it?

Aaron:: *Shakes his head*nope...never went insane like will and never ate rats like my brother

Dawn:: *frowns* You never regretted having to deal with...well....what you did before the soul?

Aaron:: *Shakes his head* never really had to deal with it

Dawn:: *blinks* You didn't deal with it? How is that possible?

Aaron:: *grins* cause I am at peace with my demon....Angel longs to be human Spike I don't know what he wants but I would not want to be anything but a vampire

Dawn:: *softly* What about....well...he wasn't exactly nice to people...you never dealt with that?

Aaron:: *Shrugs* nope...soul never bothered me with it

Dawn:: *raises an eyebrow* never?

Aaron:: *Snuggles against her belly* nope

Dawn:: *smooths his hair, softly almost whispering* you don't feel any remorse for killing those people?

Aaron:: *Grunts* cause as a vampire without a soul I saw them as food not people.....do you feel bad for the cow killed for a burger?

Dawn:: *frowns* It's not the same thing. You may have thought that before your soul, but do you still see people as food now?

Aaron:: *Shake his head* no...but the ones Archer ate I never hurt

Dawn:: *stops smoothing his hair, hand just resting lightly on the side of his head, same tone of voice* But there were....I mean...so many

Aaron:: *Frowns*63,421...not including meaningless kills

Dawn:: *voice trembles a bit* and...that....that doesn't bother you

Aaron:: *Frowns* yes it bloody well bothers me I just don't think about it or I would be eating rats

Dawn:: *voice almost a whisper* I was afraid it didn't bother you at all. You said no remorse...

Aaron:: *Closes his eyes and blocks off the bond as every face comes rushing back to him and the pain fills him*

Dawn:: *shudders* It scared me to death to think that

Aaron:: *begins to shakes slightly eyes clenched shut*

Dawn:: *smooths his hair* *mentally*I love you

Aaron:: *Opens his eyes and a few tears fall down his face*sorry so sorry

Dawn:: *wipes the tears from his face, whispering* it's ok....I love you...

Aaron:: *Whimpers* all them I killed them

Dawn:: *pulls him tighter to her, rocking slightly* I didn't mean to...I'm sorry...it's okay...that's over...

Aaron:: *Wraps his arms around her waist*

Dawn:: *still rocking, smoothing his hair, still whispering* Its ok...I love you

Aaron:: *Buries his face in the pillow**mentally* i know

Dawn:: *rubbing his back lightly* It was a long time ago...

Aaron:: *Frowns* still killed then all

Dawn:: No, Archer did....

Aaron:: *Mumbles* evil

Dawn:: *whispering soothingly* No. Archer's evil...not you

Aaron:: *Nods and begins to calm down8

Dawn:: *rubs his back lightly, still whispering* I love you. You're not evil...

Aaron:: *Kisses her belly button only cause it is close* love you

Dawn:: *kisses the top of his head* It's ok...

Aaron:: *nods* i know

Dawn:: *turning his face to look at her* It really is...

Aaron:: *Frowns* how can it be

Dawn:: *kisses him lightly* *mentally* because I love you. I don't care what Archer has done, I love you.

Aaron:: *Smiles* thank you

Dawn:: *blinks and smiles* Thank you? For what loving you?

Aaron:: *nods* yea

Dawn:: *chuckles* You don't have to thank me for loving you

Aaron:: *Purrs lightly but stops it short* i know but i still do

Dawn:: *smiles and mumbles* So I noticed...

Aaron:: *Frowns* sorry

Dawn:: *sighs* We ended up not picking a happier topic again

Aaron:: *Smiles again* i know

Dawn:: *sighs* This day isn't really turning out well after all is it...

Aaron:: *mumbles*sorry

Dawn:: *sigh* apparently I'm not doing well at picking topics. *mumbles* maybe youshould pick one

Aaron:: *grins* wanna bug buffy/

Dawn:: *blinks* bug Buffy? She's at work?

Aaron:: *Looks at her * she is on my on list

Dawn:: *looks around the room* List? You have a list in the living room?

Aaron:: *grins* my msn list

Dawn:: *blinks* Oh...well I went to talk to her this morning, and...well....they are...*makes a face* you really dont wanna know. and I don't think bugging her is a good idea *mumbles* unless you want me scarred for life

Aaron:: *grisn* and what could scar you for life

Dawn:: *makes a face* You REALLY don't want to know

Aaron:: *Chuckles* no i have to know

Dawn:: *sighs* Fine. Her Spike and Angel were all curled around each other in the bed...

Aaron:: *Growls* no way

Dawn:: *frowns* See...scarred for life

Aaron:: *Gives her a look and getws up* no way i'm gonna ask her

Dawn:: *calls up the stairs after him* No...don't

Dawn:: *mumbles to herself* I'm the one scarred for life and he takes off to peek. *sighs* so much for thinking of me first...

Aaron:: *Is talking to buffy outside her room*

Dawn:: *gets up off the couch, and strolls into the kitchen, slamming the dishes around in the sink as she starts to wash them*

Dawn:: ##in kitchen## *mumbling to herself about men, as the dishes slam in the sink*

Dawn:: ##in kitchen## *puts away the cereal slamming the pantry door in the process, still mumbling curses under her breath*

Aaron:: *is still talking to buffy*

Dawn:: *finishes the dishes, and storms up the stairs. Slams her bedroom door and locks it shut*

Aaron:: *knocks on the door*

Dawn:: *through the closed door* What?

Aaron:: *leans his head against the door*sorry

Dawn:: *shouts through the door* For what now?

Aaron:: *Shrugs* for what ever stupid thing i did

Dawn:: Do you know what stupid thing you did this time?

Aaron:: ummm....not believe you about the three's company in buffy's room?

Dawn:: *yells through the door, almost growling* Guess again...

Aaron:: *frowns* ummm......don't know

Dawn:: *mumbles, his hearing still picking it up through the door* wrong answer

Aaron:: *Grunts working on the lock with a wire* dawn i dont know what i ddi wrong this time

Dawn:: *ignores him, and flops onto the bed, starting to cry*

Aaron:: *Opens the door*what's wrong

Dawn:: *picks her head up and glares at him* You break into my room and then demand to know what's wrong with me? You should already know...

Aaron:: *Grunts* dawn i cant read your mind.....i cant think of anything stupid i have done today

Dawn:: *blinks* You can't read my mind? The bond isn't closed

Aaron:: *nods8 i know i can tell somethings wrong but i dont go that deep in cause i dont want others doiong ti to me

Dawn:: *rolls her eyes* We weren't doing so well today anyway, and then you go and storm off to see my sister even though I said not to

Aaron:: *frowns* i only wanted to see if my brother was here when he told me he was going home to L.A.

Dawn:: *frowns* You did not. You wanted to see if they were really all together in bed...

Aaron:: *Sits on the edge of the bed * well that two and i should have listened to you but i did want to see if Liam was here

Dawn:: *glares at him* What happened to thinking more about me and less about you?
