Here you guys go. Hope you enjoy it.
Two hours later, a bloody and badly beaten Angel, stumbles through the doors and into his home. "Oh my god, Angel!" Buffy gasp as she gets up from the futon she and her friends were laying on. Xander was up the moment he heard Buffy call Angel's name, and was at his side helping the vampire to the bed. "Buff, where's the first aid kit." He asked his friend as he helped the vampire sit down. "Umm. In the upstairs bathroom." She said automatically. Her eyes focused on her lover, she didn't even notice Willow run up the stairs to retrieve the kit. "Angel, man you alright?" Xander asked taking an account of his wounds. "I'll be fine." The vampire rasped out. "Just some minor cuts." He answered. "Angel, this is anything but minor. What happened? Who did this to you?" Buffy asked her love as she helped Xander remove Angel's torn and bloody shirt.
"Just some Mohra's." He said leaning back against the back of the futon.
"I knew you shouldn't have gone by yourself." Buffy said in an upset tone.
"Buffy. I'm fine." He tried to assure her, but his obvious pain was not helping much.
"No you're not. You're bloody and hurt." She said tears springing up behind her eyes.
"I'll be fine." He tried to assure her.
Willow ran down the steps and handed Xander the medical kit. They slowly tried to assess Angel's wounds and calm Buffy down. Assuring her that Angel: would indeed be fine.
"How about; we go get Angel some blood." Willow suggested as she took notice of a rather large gash on Angel's back, that she did not want her best friend to see. If Buffy saw the cut, she would freak and that was the last thing the hormonally unbalanced slayer needed.
Buffy just nodded and let her friend lead her to the kitchen.
"Come on Angel. I am going to need some help here. I wanna take care of as many wounds as I can before Buffy comes back and freaks out." Xander said calmly as he patched up a gash on his left forearm.
"Yeah. Thanks." Angel said trying to force himself to stay upright long enough for Xander to take care of the large wound he knew was on his back, before his lover could take notice of it.
"What the hell happened to you anyways man?" The teen asked as he placed a gauze on a nasty looking stab wound.
"I went to meet Willy about two hours ago. He said he had some info he would let me in on, if I came after hours. Just so that his credibility would not, be further hurt with his customers. I went and I guess someone tipped off the Mohra's where I was going to be cause they showed up a little after Willy and I talked. They attacked. Well when Giles said that if they aren't killed properly, they'd be stronger, he wasn't lying." Angel said with a grunt as Xander bandaged his final wound.
"Lay back man." Xander said closing the medical kit. "Damn. But did you get anything out of Willy that was useful?" He asked taking off the vampire's shoes and helping him to lie on the bed.
"Nothing we already didn't know."
"So mostly it was a waste of time that nearly got you deader." Xander said helpfully as he attempted to hang up the vampires, torn leather duster.
"Basically." Angel said as he let out a hiss of pain. "Just throw that thing away before Buffy notices and goes crazy." He said to the teen as he attempted to make himself comfortable on the futon, with the lease amount of pain as possible.
"Yeah no problem." He said hiding it under his own jacket. "I'll get rid of it when I leave." He said.
"Thanks."
"Angel?" Buffy asked softly as she and Willow entered the living room with a mug of hot blood.
"Yes, love." He said, hoping to mask his pain.
"I brought you some blood. It will make you better. You'll heal faster." She said sitting besides him on the futon.
"Thank you love." He said taking the offered mug from her hands and laying it on the stand next to him. "I'll drink it in a minute." He said in reply to her questioning look.
"Do you guys need anything else?" Willow asked. "Cuz if not we'll leave you two alone." She informed her friend.
"I think I'll be fine." Angel said glancing at Xander. "Thanks."
"No problem man." He said picking up his jacket and Angel's. "Come on Wills, I'll drive you home."
"Okay. Bye. Buffy. Angel." She said grabbing her own coat and leaving the two to their privacy.
Once the door shut, Buffy looked over at Angel. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" She asked.
"Yes. I'll be fine." Angel said softly. "Just need a shower, some blood and sleep." He said; his gaze became softer and more seductive. "And maybe some TLC from the women I love."
"First shower and then we'll move on from there." Buffy said with a smirk as she got off the futon to help him up.
"I don't wanna shower all alone." He said innocently. "I think I might need help. Besides you look like you could use a nice warm bath." He said, as a seductive smile began to play on his lips.
"Umm. Well come to think of it, I missed my bath waiting up for you." She said, in almost a whisper.
Angel, now standing moved closer to her. "How bout I help you and you help me. You know, I could reach those hard to reach places for yah."
Buffy pretended to think about it. "I guess I could use an extra pair of hands." She said smiling.
"Well then I offer mine." He said holding them up.
Buffy just shook her head and giggled softly. "Come on." She said grabbing his hands and walking upstairs to the bathroom.
Bathroom
"Mmm." Buffy moaned softly. "This feels so good."
"What does?" Angel asked, his chin resting on the top of her head. Buffy's petite form lying in between his legs.
"This. Us; being in your arms. I feel so complete." She said her eyes closed as her head lay in the crock of his neck.
"It does feel good. I love having you in my arms, holding you." He whispered into her ear.
After a while, the water began to get cold, and the two got up and out of the tub.
After toweling each other off and wrapping, themselves in towels they made their way into their bed, each climbing in nude.
Buffy lay on her side facing the middle of the bed. Angel did the same, while wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you." She responded before leaning up and kissing him softly on the lips.
The two pulled apart so Buffy could breath. "Angel?" Buffy said softly.
"Yes, my love."
"I almost lost you tonight."
Angel pulled away far enough so that he could look into her eyes. "No Buffy, you didn't. You wont ever lose me. I am not going anywhere. I'm staying right here with you and our two children." He said sternly.
"Promise?"
"Promise. Forever." He said kissing her crown.
"Good. Now sleep." She said snuggling closer into his chest.
"Sleep well my love."
