"The reason I left Sunnydale was because after the fight against you at the mansion I went to see Willow in the hospital and I overheard Xander in her room talking to her."
"Did he say something to upset you, Buffy?" Angel asked, softly.
"Willow asked him if he got to me in time and Xander said he did, Willow said 'did you tell her' and Xander just said no. I didn't have any idea what they were talking about until Willow started yelling. I remember hearing her say 'you didn't tell Buffy, I told you to tell her. I said to hold Angel off till I got the spell done.' I left after that and I haven't looked back since then."
"Oh Buffy, I'm so sorry."
"For what. It wasn't your fault"
"Yeah but I'm the reason you ran away from your friends."
"I ran away because after everything that happened with you, I couldn't take the fact one of my best friends betrayed me and you were gone" Buffy turned to face Angel with tears streaming down her face.
"Oh, baby."
"I'm sorry, I didn't wait longer Angel. I'm sorry I ran away I let you down."
"Buffy, you didn't let me down and it's not your fault you didn't wait. You weren't told about what Willow was trying."
"I suppose if you want to use logic" Buffy smiled up at Angel, the sight warming his un-beating heart.
Buffy's smile soon turned to a frown.
"Angel, what are we going to do about Willy?"
"I don't know, but if he lets slip about who you are then.."
"I know I can't let that happen"
"We can't let that happen. I'm here for you, remember."
"But what are we going to do? The mission should be easy enough. I mean Willy is so afraid I'm going to hurt him, he'll probably spill the info in a heartbeat, but, what if he mentions to someone that he's seen me. I'm supposed to be dead remember? Giles knows I'm not dead but the others won't."
"What do you mean Giles knows your not dead?"
"Well, I'm kinda the Immortal slayer."
"Immortal slayer, hmm, I read about that when Giles explained to me what happened"
"Yeah, I don't like my night job and now I'm going to be doing it for eternity"
"Well, you still have me."
"Do I still have you?" Buffy asked afraid of the answer she would receive.
"How can you even ask?"
"Well, its just that girls would line up around the block just to go out with you. What do you mean Giles explained to you what happened?"
"Huh? Oh just about Willow bringing me back from hell and giving me my soul, and then, after a week when I had slowly regained my strength, he told me you had runaway. And, as soon as I was able to, I started to look for you. I've been just about everywhere to find you but I never gave up hope."
"Giles took care of you?"
"Yeah, why is that hard for everybody to understand? Giles forgave me for Jenny and we formed a bond. Not like the one you share with him, but a bond that makes us almost brothers."
"Brothers?"
"Yeah, I even have a few books Giles doesn't and he was so excited when he saw the library at the mansion he had this look on his face I will never forget, like he was going to either cry or hug me. He looked like he was in heaven"
"Trust Giles to have books in heaven. I can almost see him up there with his books, looking down, watching the new slayer saying stuff like (buffy put on a Giles voice) 'in my day I would have found that demon a lot faster' or 'no, the marenstarch text, not the chronicles of evil, you'll never find the demon in there. You're all blithering idiots'"
"I know what I want when I get there" Angel said wistfully
"And what's that?"
"It's simple. I want you to be there or it's not really heaven"
"Oh Angel, I love you."
"Now."
"And forever" she finished for him
Buffy reached up and wound her arms around his neck kissing him until she was breathless.
"Buffy" Angel said moving his mouth away from hers "We better stop soon"
"But I thought you said your soul was superglued on?"
"It is, but Buffy don't forget we might still have an audience"
"Oh great, ruin all my fun"
"Buffy I'm sorry"
Buffy didn't reply. She just frowned and turned away from him
"Buffy, I promise to make it up to you later"
This seemed to cheer her up a bit. She turned back around to face him, saying, "You promise?"
"I promise" Angel bent down and his lips met hers. Sighing, Buffy gave in and lent towards the kiss. Tongues duelling, they each lost themselves in the kiss, and the outside world ceased to exist beyond each other. They were so involved in the kiss they didn't hear the door open or the footsteps approaching them.
