Chapter 7: Harper gets the Girl?
Buffy stormed into the mechanics bay to talk to Harper, because he was the only other human on the ship.
"Assholes!" she declared, as she walked in, causing Harper to look up.
"Let me guess, Tyr?"
"No, the Powers that Be," she said and got a very confused look from Harper. "They are God, Buddaha, whatever! They are the people that sent me here."
"So, what did they do?" he asked and motioned for the blonde slayer to take a seat next to him on the ground, which she did.
"They put Angel's soul in Tyr's body, so that I would date him and that maybe would have a child together, because they need us to." She told him.
"And who is Angel?" Harper asked.
"That's what I asked." Tyr said, stepping into the room and glaring at Harper, who Buffy was leaning on, Harper simply smirked at him and pulled her closer.
"What do you want?" she asked, not happy to see him.
"To make sure you are okay," Tyr started, "and to tell you that it's not my fault that Angel's soul is in my body, it's not like I asked for it." Tyr took a seat directly across from Buffy and Harper and waited for Buffy to start explaining.
"He was a vampire and we fell in love."
"Wait, weren't you supposed to kill vampires?" Harper asked in confusion.
"He had a soul." She told him and thought of all the fights she had, had with Xander about Angel. "He was good and he would help me fight. We spent time getting to know each other and then one day we made love and he lost his soul, because they gypys that had cursed him had put a happiness clause in it. One moment of true happiness and he would lose his soul, resorting back to the demon. We fought and my friends recursed him and I had to send my Angel to hell. Well, when he came back we tried to be friends, but it didn't work and we went back to being girlfriend and boyfriend, but he decided that I was too much of a risk to his soul and he left." She told them and Harper and Tyr exchanged glances realizing just how much Buffy loved her Angel. Tyr wondered just how much of her liking him was due to Angel's soul. "I can feel it in you. I didn't realize what it was at first, but now I can place it." She told him and Tyr looked a little confused. "I'm sure that you can feel mine too. My whole body tingles whenever his soul is around and I'm sure yours does too." Tyr nodded and finally realized why he tingled whenever she had been around.
"Yes, but why?"
"I have no idea, we always had that connection, but it got stronger after he had marked me." She told them, indicating the mark on her neck and Tyr felt an irrational anger to the vampire that had done it to her. "Don't be mad with him, I forced him to do it, it was the only way that I could save his life." Tyr looked at her in shock, because she could read him so well, must have something to do with the soul also. "You know everything now, leave." Tyr slowly got to his feet and made his way to the door.
"We are not done." He told her and anger flashed across her face.
"Yes," she told him, "We are." She turned back to Harper and simply curled up into him, shutting the rest of the world out. She didn't see the look of hurt or anger cross Tyr's face as he watched the scene.
"Any particular reason that you are running to me?" Harper asked, "Not that I mind, just seeing Tyr so angry, makes it worth it."
"Who else was I supposed to go with? Dylan would probably tell me to go have sex with Tyr, just to save the universe, Beca wouldn't understand why I wouldn't want to, neither would Andromeda and Trance would just try to talk me into it. While you will listen and joke around and try to make me feel better." She told him and got up and started to walk around, playing with some of the things that Harper had out.
"So I am just easy."
"Pretty much."
"Oh," he said and then realized what she had said, "You are at least supposed to make me feel better or lie to me." Buffy started to laugh at his puppy dog expression and laughed even harder when he winked at her.
"Can't lie to you, it only hurts people in the end." She said, thinking back to the so many lies she had told and how they had hurt so many people.
"So, what do you want to do?" Harper asked, changing the subject when he noticed that she was becoming said again. She flashed him a smile in thanks and thought for a moment.
"Got any roller blades?" she asked and he smirked at her, pulling two sets out. "And you just have them hanging around?"
"Well, no, but I thought that since you are from Earth, too, that you might want to roller blade later on." He handed her a pair and they strapped them on their feet and got up and tested them.
"So you made these?"
"Yes."
"Should I fear for my life?" she asked and then laughed when he went to hit her and took off on the roller blades. Harper stood there for all of two seconds and then took off after her. He finally caught up to her at the bridge and he tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to turn around.
"Tag," he declared and started to go off in another direction, calling over his shoulder, "you are it!" Buffy started to laugh and went after him. They played tag for a good hour, before Andromeda got sick of them using her hallways for something so juvenile and threatened both of them. So, they headed back to mechanics bay and put the skates away for another day.
"So," he asked, as he walked her back to her room, "Wanna do it again tomorrow?"
"It's a date." She told him and leaned forward, kissing him on the check and then going into her room, leaving a stunned Harper standing outside her door.
"Is that a date-date or a friendship date?" he asked himself as he walked down the corridor. "Either way it will irritate Tyr!"
