Disclaimer: I own NONE of these characters, they all belong to Joss.
Summary: Completely AU; Buffy and Angel meet in college and fall in love. But will their past lives come into play and mess things up?
Pairings: B/A is the main couple, I'll probably add more later. Any characters you'd like to see together?
Rating: PG possibly PG-13 later.
Timeline: None
Author's Note: This is my first fic, so constructive criticism is welcome. Please review!!! * * = Buffy's thoughts # # = Angel's thoughts; so far it is Buffy's point of view. The song in this chapter is "Crystal" by Stevie Nicks.
The Bronze was different from any club I'd ever been to. It was like a café/dance club. Liam was right it was great and I really enjoyed it. When we found a table to sit at he pulled out my chair for me like the perfect gentleman. Did I mention how incredible this guy was?
"You were right. This place is really nice." I said once he sat down.
"Yeah I come here a lot. It's the most popular hang out place in Sunnydale. Not that it has much competition." He said with a smile. "So, Buffy tell me about yourself. It seemed like I was doing all the talking yesterday."
"Well there's not much to tell." I replied.
The truth is I don't like talking about myself. Besides I just met this guy and I'm not sure how much I want him to know.
"Oh come on. I'm sure you can think of something." He pried.
"Well, as you know I moved here from New York where I had lived with my mom. My parents got divorced when I was 14 and I couldn't wait till I was 18 so I could get out of there."
"And as far away as possible it seems." Liam looked at me suspiciously. He knew I was hiding something from him.
"I just wanted to start fresh. Get a new beginning. You know?"
"Actually, I know exactly what you mean. You sound like me two years ago. I'm not gonna lie to you Buffy, I've done some things that I'm not proud of and I ran as fast as I could to get out of it. So tell me, why did you run?"
*Am I that transparent? How can he see through me like that?* I didn't know what to say to him, so I got angry instead. I wasn't about to let my guard down just yet.
"You don't even know me! I did NOT run away!" I shouted. I caught him off guard with my sudden outburst.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. It just seems like you're not telling me something."
I sighed. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blown up at you like that. Its just that I"
"Buffy," he interrupted me. "Its okay. You don't have to explain if you don't want to."
"Thanks. Lets start over now."
He laughed. "Alright, my names Liam. Would you like to dance?"
"I'd love to." I smiled and took his outstretched hand.
As we reached the dance floor a slow song came on. He pulled me to him by the hand and wrapped his arms around my waist. I slid my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder. We swayed softly to the music.
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
*Why do I trust him so much? This is so not Buffy Summers. I mean I know this is cliché but I feel like I've known him my whole life. God, he's gorgeous.*
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea How the faces of love have changed turning
the pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
#I just can't figure her out. I wonder what she's gone through. I hope she knows that she can trust me. God, she's gorgeous.#
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
As the song ended I looked up at him and found him starring at me intently. I knew what was coming next. He leaned down slowly as if he was scared I might back away. To reassure him I tilted my head up and our lips met in a brief, chaste kiss.
