Chapter 10: What Happens When…
Faith walked into the mansion, she looked around, somehow it felt like home. It felt as if she belonged here. At least here she was welcome no matter what. She walked up the stairs searching for Angelus's room, she had never been there before, and she had never slept with Angelus.
"Hello?" an English voice said from behind. Faith turned around and saw Spike standing there. "Oh, Faith, are you looking for Angelus?" Faith didn't respond, "he's out right now, uh, his rooms right here," spike said opening a oak door.
"Thanks," Faith said, walking into Angelus's bedroom. Spike followed her with his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Spike asked.
"As if you would care," Faith said sitting down on the bed.
"No, but I could fake it," Spike said, Faith laughed.
"Thanks, I needed that," Faith said lying down on the bed, it was unusually comfortable. She rested her head on a pillow.
"So what's wrong?" Spike asked again.
"What do you have a soul or something?" Faith said sarcastically.
Spike looked at her, puppy dog eyes staring at her. Faith poured her heart out.
&&&&&&&&
"Okay, I get it, you're worried about what will happen when you get older, he'll stay young forever, but you'll get old and die," Spike said.
"Thanks for the condensed version of my depressing thoughts," Faith said.
"Yeah, well, the only one who has the answers to your questions is Angelus, and quite possibly you, search your mind what is it telling you? What is your heart telling you? When you find the answers follow it, it would be wise to listen to your mind, it has more reason than your heart. Don't think with love, think with reason. Think for yourself," Spike said.
"Poetic, really," Faith said.
Spike heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall
"That'd be Angelus," Spike said.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Faith asked as Angelus stepped into the doorway. "How did you…"
"Vampiric hearing, at least its good for something" Spike said as he left the room.
Angelus looked at Faith, his mind sensed despair that his eyes could not see. "What's wrong, Faith?" he asked softly.
"What makes you think that something's wrong?" Faith said pulling Angelus into the room and shutting the door.
"Possibly because you've been talking to Spike," Angelus said.
Faith rested her hands on his shoulders. "Maybe I'm here for some one-on-one action," she said pulling him onto the bed.
Angelus kissed her softly she pulled his sweater off, he kissed her cheek all the way down to the crook of the neck. He vamped out, but he pushed it into submission and his face was normal again. Then began the array of kisses as their clothes were lost.
&&&&&&&&
They lay on the side, Faith had her back to Angelus, but she was still close to him physically and emotionally. Angelus held Faith close to his body, his arm was locked around her waist, he kissed her neck softly.
"So now will you tell me what is wrong?" Angelus asked.
Faith snuggled in closer to Angelus's chest. "Well, I've just been wonderin'…well what's gonna happen when I get older? You'll stay young, but I'll just be old and possibly in the way," Faith said.
"You'd never be in the way," Angelus said kissing her neck softly.
"But, we can't possibly last, you say you love me, but when I die you'll just find someone new," Faith said.
"Faith, I-" Angelus started.
"Don't try to deny it," Faith said.
"Faith, I-I will love you forever," Angelus said, resting his head on Faiths' neck.
He stroked her hair, and kept kissing her neck. She turned her head around and looked at him. They kissed it was long and passionate. She couldn't help but giggle at the thought of where those lips were earlier. The kiss ended and he smiled at her.
"Better?" he asked.
"Not really," Faith said. She turned her head back and rested it on his hand. The night was early but she was tired anyway.
