"Hey" said Luke adjusting the backpack on his shoulder.
"Hey" murmured Emma pushing her reading glasses up her nose. They were both Seniors at the slayer academy.
"How are you doing?" mumbled Luke.
"Umm good, good you know, and you?" she asked.
"I'm ok." he sighed looking at the ground.
"Ok well umm I got to get to class... see you later?" asked Emma almost hopefully.
"Yeh sure." said Luke a bit to excitedly and a bit to quickly. "I-I mean, yeh, see ya around." he said much more calmly.
"Morning Wesley" said Liz entering the kitchen. She heard another "thud" and looked to see Wesley under the kitchen sink once more. "Ouch, sorry."
"I'm ok," he moaned slightly hissing through his teeth.
"Are you really?" asked Liz, the words taking a double meaning.
"Soon, pain passes with time." He said yet he wasn't quite, he talked in a normal tone.
"You talk to Luke lately?" she asked taking out a cereal box and was going to eat it dry.
"What are you doing?"
"Eating breakfeast?" she asked confused. Wesley smiled at her warmly, made her knees turn to jell-o for some odd reason.
"I'll show you how we do breakfeast at Pinegreen." he said smiling. She nodded as they headed into town.
"Nick!" giggled Dawn as he tickled her sides sending her to the ground on top of him, both of them still laughing. "Aww you ok?" she said trying to catch her breath.
"Yeh" he said breathing heavily from laughing.
"Ok good, -" yet she was stopped with a kiss on the lips. She smiled and kissed him back this time. He went down to her neck as she giggled some more because he was still tickling her sides.
"You smell like apples you know that?" he said stopping his trails of kisses.
"Hmm lets see what you smell like." she grinned going down to kiss the side of his neck yet was tickling his side as well.
"D-dawn!" he squealed laughing.
"So Emma is my sister, and has been a slayer for how long?"
"10 years" nodded Wesley.
"Right, so you where her watcher?"
"Not officially no, but I did teach her how to fight yeh."
"Huh, so you and her are pretty close?" Wesley looked down at his black cup of coffee.
"Yeh, you Robin and I practically raised them..."
"But it was only 3 years right?"
"You'd be suprised how much someone can change in 3 years." he sighed; comparing himself the second year he worked for Angel and the fourth year.
"Yeh, I guess I would be." a comfortable silence fell in between them as there food was brought to them. Liz took a bite of her pancakes. They where to die for. "Oh my gosh." she said taking another mouthful. "It's delicious." Wesley merely laughed.
"Thought you'd like it. You use to come here almost every morning."
"You going to eat that?" she asked pointing to his pancakes. He shook his head as she devoured his pancakes. He rested his elbow on the table and his chin in the palm of his hand watching her with eyes they just seemed to glow.
"What?" she asked looking up.
"You fascinate me when you eat." he said playfully. Liz grinned.
"I do? Did you use to watch me eat it often?"
"All the time." he laughed. She stopped and looked at her plate.
"I wanted to know Wesley...were we in love? Like... madly insanely in love?" she said keeping her eyes on the plate. When Wesley didn't respond she looked up. He looked obviously hurt. "W-what? Did I say something? Did I-"
"No, it was nothing. I have to go," he said getting up and leaving her.
The next two days Wesley stayed away from Liz, working hard at it to. Staying at home when she was out, going out when she was home. Working hard on rebuilding the house. Liz would constantly try to find him, yet she soon found out, it was incredibly hard, despite the small size of the town. Yet on the fourth day of the week he had slept in on the couch and was sleeping peacefully. He had his head leaned back on the couch, his feet on the floor, and a book on his chest. She stopped peering into the room. He slept, hair ruffled and slightly messy. Dark hair, and a scar that ran across his neck. He hadn't shaven as if weeks, because now he was losing his 5 o'clock shadow and was now having a beard. He had scars...if you looked closely all over his neck, and his hands. His sleeves where rolled up and she saw more...it made her want to vomit...something told her that he had gotten all the scars after thier time period together. Her face becoming determined she ran over grabbed both his big wrists, he woke up with the sudden touch and she pulled it over his head pinning him down to the couch.
"You aren't going anywhere"
"Liz I-"
"Don't Liz I, me! Where we in love?" she whispered.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
"What?"
"I asked do you trust me?" he almost pleaded.
"Well yeh... I guess why?"
"Then you don't want to know," he whispered.
"Fine... I'll find out myself." she sighed.
"What are you going to do?" he asked. She licked her lips and leaned down and kissed him passionately. His lips where soft, and he was a bit shocked at first yet then he responded kissing her back. Liz let go of his wrists and put her two hands on either side of his face. He knew exactly how to kiss her, and she felt everything start to get blurry. Memories flooded back, about her meeting him... the first month...him going blind. He pulled away; she had a shocked look in her eyes.
""Matthew?" she asked looking at him for a second. "Matthew I-"
"You have your memories?"
"Well I guess so...theres still a big patch...like..."
"You only have part of your memory." he sighed. "How much?"
"First month" she said still obviously confused. "Matthew...I'm so confused? What happened to you?" she said as she walked up to him and lightly touched his cheek that had a small beard on it. Her fingers, barely even touching his skin traced up to his eyes. "What happened?" she whispred once more.
"I lost you." he whispered.
"I'm still lost." she whispered back. "Matt..." she whispered leaning her head closer to his. "Find me" she whispered before kissing him passioantly.
Emma heard a knock on her dorm. She opened it and there stood Luke looking at her seriously. He came in slid a hand up her cheek and kissed her. She kissed him back missing him so damm much yet pulled away.
"No, No, Roger has been-"
"Nothing to you." said Luke so intensely it made her head spins. He had that air of danger, and hell about him. That is what got him a lot of girls, yet the thing is she knew the real him...the him that didn't evolve darkness... she knew the 7 year old him that wasn't like that.
"Roger has been good to me," she whispered.
"And I can be better." he whispered.
"Luke you-"
"I love you." he finished looking down at his feet. He looked up ready to cry. "I love you so damm much Emma."
"Lukas." she whispered and this time it was her turn to kiss him.
Liz woke up in bed her eyes opened wide with shock. Everything was back, she remembered everything.
"Good morning." whispered a voice. She lied back down and turned on her side, Wesley had his head rested up on his hand.
"Good morning" she whispered back.
"You ok?" She kissed him softly on the lips.
"Perfect." she whispered.
"Good, so you-"
"Know everything," she whispered.
"I love you," he whispered.
"No you don't." smiled Liz.
"What?" asked Wesley obviously hurt?
"Because I love you more."
"Nay I don't think so," said Wesley laughing.
"Hmm I think so," giggled Liz cuddling into his arms lying on his chest. Wesley kissed the top of her head and for the first time, no memories came back it was clear.
Emma woke up in bed her eyes opened wide with shock, everything was back. She remembered everything.
"Oh my god." said a voice. She turned and saw Luke sitting next to her in bed.
"What have we done?" whispered Emma eyes opened wide.
"Yeh, I think we all want an explanation," said Roger, standing above both of them Giles behind them a cold look in his eye.
"Where's Elizabeth?" asked Giles.
Authors Note: Like I said, lots of nothing but fluff, yet luckily Lies Shadow Told Me has a lot more action in it. You know more though angst, angst and more angst.
