A short song ficlet I decided to make. Song: Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers (Spoilers for season 5 of Ats)

Hello. Can you hear me? Am I getting through to you?

"Angel," Buffy began, "What's going on? I mean, you call me up saying you've got to tell me something very important and to come right away but you don't give me any Info...What's wrong?"

Hello. Is it late there? Is there laughter on the line? Are you sure you're there alone? Cause I'm trying to explain something's wrong, you just don't sound the same.

Angel looked at her, "Do you miss him?" "Who?" She asked completely puzzled. "...Spike," he answered simply. "That's what this is about?! Spike? God, Angel..." she said angrily. "Answer me..." he replied. "I can't..." she answered looking down. "Why not?" he asked. Spike walked up to the open door and saw Buffy's back to him. He began to run to her but Fred stopped him and shook her head. Spike looked at her pleadingly. "Not yet," she whispered to him.

Why don't you, Why don't you, Go outside, go outside. Kiss the rain, whenever you need me. Kiss the rain whenever I'm gone too long.

"I just can't ok?!" Buffy said tears filling her eyes, "I can't think about it..." Spike got tears in his eyes and looked towards her sympathetically. "You have to talk about it sometime..." Angel answered. "No, you know I really don't!" She snapped. "You can't hold it in..." Angel started. Buffy looked at him as if she were shocked, "You should talk about holding things in, Mr. brood-all-night-and-day!" "This is not about me," he said. "It is, you know, It's all about you..." she started, "You can't handle that he saved us all and you didn't..." "That's not it..." he said.

If your lips feel lonely and thirsty kiss the rain. And wait for the dawn, keep in mind, we're under the same sky.

"Then what is it?!" she asked upset. "...Do you love him?" he asked having trouble getting the words out. Buffy stared at him for what seemed like hours before she answered , "...Yes..." started crying hard, "I loved him so much..." Tears fell down both Buffy and Spike's cheeks.

And the night's as empty for me as for you. If you feel, you can't wait till morning, kiss the rain, kiss the rain, kiss the rain!

"Buffy..." Angel said forcing the words to come out, "...'tis a brave, brave thing I do, now...then I ever did before..." "What..." she said sobbing. Angel glanced behind her then back at her, "...Buffy...Turn around..." She looked at him confusion very clear on her face; She turned around.

Kiss the rain. Kiss the rain. Kiss the rain. Kiss the rain!

Her mouth dropped as she saw him, "Spike...are you real..." He couldn't stop himself; He ran to her, swinging her around in a hug and then kissing her. "I love you, Spike..." Buffy said, "god...I love you so much," She said and kissed him back. Angel watched them with sadness on his face but also a little bit of happiness mixed in, because Buffy was happy. finally.

Hello. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me...
