"Willow, my best friend in the world who always forgives me and will love me forever… this is Angel." Buffy said, speaking fast. She finished, taking a deep breath, smiling big at her friend. Willow looked suspiciously to Angel for a second, deciding what to think and then she smiled, putting her arms around Angel.

Angel gave a sheepish smile, taken back by Willow's hug. He was used to less enthusiastic people in LA. "Nice to meet you… you sure are…you sure are cute. I mean, it must be that whole man-of-darkness bit." Willow commented, pulling away from Angel, noticing how anxious he seemed. "I know what's it's like to date someone not as normal… he, uh, was a werewolf." Willow said quietly, still upset over him leaving.

Angel's eyes widened a little; he couldn't help but wonder how that worked out. But it wasn't that difference in his situation. And him and Buffy would find a way to work through it. "That's… really interesting."

"Yeah… but I am so glad Buffy finally found someone. I mean, she has never been able to have a normal relationship, lying about what she does every night. And from what she says, you are both on the same side. Right? I mean, you don't bite do you? Because…" Willow began to babble, worried that he did drink blood.

"Oh, no. I drink pig's blood. I stopped killing when I got my soul. So yeah, don't do that kind of stuff." Angel replied, nodding his head a few times. He looked around briefly at Buffy's dorm room, noticing the chest on the ground. He expected it to be a weapon's chest, since she didn't exactly have the ax's hanging on the wall. Unless she only used stakes.

"So, um, I was kind of wondering. You being a vampire and all. How old are you?" Willow asked, seeing Buffy put her face in her hands, embarrassed. That only caused Willow to speak faster. "I don't mean to be rude and all, but, just curious."

"Almost 250." Angel replied. He figured might as well share the truth. Plus, Buffy being his wife and all, she should be aloud to know how old her husband is. Which was, maybe, 15 times her age. "I died when I was 27, if that sounds any better." Half her age, it did.

"Wow… so, you are like… I mean, you look good for your age. The whole 'not growing old' could be a part of it, but still. You age nicely." Willow stammered, not sure what else to say.

Angel nodded, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. Awkward silence, he always seemed to cause it. Buffy stood up and walked over to Angel, putting her arms around his neck as she kissed him lightly.

"Thank you for going through with this." Buffy told Angel, whispering in his ear quietly. Angel smiled, nodding. "And I have to get up early tomorrow for a class, but then I am free all day. So I can come by your mansion?" Buffy asked innocently, her eyes widened.

Angel nodded, wrapping his arms around Buffy's waist as he kissed her. "I will be waiting for you." Angel promised, knowing there weren't many places he could go anyway in the daylight. They stared at each other for a moment, Angel knowing he should leave and Buffy knowing she had to go to bed.

"I got ten minutes."

"Ten is good." Angel replied, Buffy falling back against the bed as Angel followed. Buffy kissed him, her hands on his back as Angel kissed back, his hands against the bed, supporting him.

"Um, it's been 20 minutes…" Willow finally said, watching the two make out. Buffy sat up, gasping for breath. Angel sat up as well, running a hand through his hair, his eyes widened.

"Oh, right… go… bye…" Angel stammered, kissing Buffy one last time before breaking away from her warm body and making his way over to the door, staring at her for a moment before closing the door and walking out.

"Wow Buffy, you can really go… I mean, I know he is a vampire and doesn't need to breathe, but I am impressed." Willow remarked as Buffy looked at her friend, a smile breaking across her face as they both began giggle.

Angel walked down the campus walkway, his hands in his coat pocket as he smiled, thinking about Buffy. He felt a pain shoot through his back as he cried out, falling onto the ground. "Hello Angel." Angel turned himself over slowly, looking at a man donned in black and a taser gun in one hand. Angel let out a groan of pain, closing his eyes. That hurt.

"Who are you?" Angel let out in a groan, feeling in his body finally returning as he tried to recognize the man.

"Someone who doesn't take kindly to vampires. Think of us as a group of vampire hunters, except better trained and with technology." The man snapped at Angel, pointing the taser at him as it buzzed, showing the blue light.

"A stupid group of hunters, considering I am a champion and a vampire with a soul." Angel snapped, swinging his legs around and knocking the man to the ground as Angel stumbled up, stepping away from the man.

"Don't even try, I heard about you. Buffy believes you are a good vampire. When has there ever been a good vampire?" Angel turned around to see Xander, holding a crossbow in front of him. Angel stared at him, seeing the wooden stake that Xander was threatening him with.

"Hey, I am not here to fight. I would never touch Buffy, I love her-" Angel was cut off by the sound of the taser being hit against his shoulder blades as he fell forwards onto the ground.

"Shut up, you don't love her. You can't love Buffy, you are a soulless vampire." The man dressed in black snapped, having gotten back up. He looked to Xander and nodded.

"Thanks man."

"Anytime Riley, I mean, I had no clue that someone would actually come after Buffy like this…" Xander said, looking down at passed out Angel as he shook his head, angry.

"You mean like this?" Angel said, pulling a dagger out of his jacket and stabbing it into Riley's leg. Riley cried out, falling onto one knee. Angel cried out, feeling the wooden stake slam through his shoulder as he grunted, a limp arm grasping it. He pulled it out, letting out a cry of pain as he held out the stake, his arm bleeding.

Xander came at Angel, another stake in hand. Angel managed to push off Xander weakly as he pushed himself onto his hands, slowly standing. Angel grabbed for the dagger out of Riley's leg as he held it out to defend himself.

As Xander came at Angel he moved aside, but at the same instant Xander did as well as the dagger cut through Xander's side. Xander let out a cry, sliding onto the ground. Angel knelt down next to Xander, staring at him. "Oh no." Angel said.
