Hope

One shot. Was originally a two-part piece but I've realised the second chapter was much better by itself.


Just staring at each other we lay there. His eyes are focused on mine. Staring into me.

How could I have been so naive? My teenage crushes were never going to amount to anything, but look what happened. Here I am lying naked next to the man I feel in love with 5 years ago.

I never thought it was possible to love two people at once, and then Oz happened. I put my love for Giles on hold, and loved both Xander and Oz.

And we all know how well that ended.

The same happened I suppose when Oz left. I put my love for Oz away, and fell for Tara, not head over heels love though. But when Oz came back I didn't love him anymore, but I didn't love Tara wither.

But I've stayed with her for a year, because she loved me, and needed me, and I needed that. To be loved, to be held.

If I let myself be with Giles would I still be Willow? Or would I just be 'thatone who thought she was gay'?

If I left Tara for Giles would it last?

Or will he go away like Oz, or move onto someone else like Xander?

Would Giles love me forever? Would he keep me safe? And I in return?
