Edward P.O.V
Buffy was truly one of the most amazing people I'd ever met, Human or otherwise. She was so incredibly strong but also so vulnerable. I wanted to take care of her and protect her. Make her smile again. I really didn't know why I was feeling like that not that she would let me. I'd started spending all my time with her. Not in a romantic way like Alice was teasing me about. It was just so comfortable. She fascinated me. Her mind control. Her devotion to the people she loved and the way she could just carry on after everything she'd been through. She was making me into a love sick, soppy, hopeless idiot.
"Hey day dream boy" she said waving a hand in front of my face.
"Sorry" I replied sheepishly.
"Care to share?" she asked sitting up and turning to face me.
"If I can't be in your head I don't know if I should share what's in mine" I replied.
"It's not the same when you ask first" she laughed.
I loved when she laughed. It wasn't very often and her smiles faded quickly. I knew from the others how full of life she had been. It was hard to see her like this knowing how she was.
"I was just thinking how comfortable it is spending time with you" I replied honestly.
I waited for a reaction. She didn't give one. She just snuggled back onto the couch facing the film that neither of us was really watching. She sighed a little and looked up at me. She looked so cute and innocent curled up in her pyjama's looking up at me with big green eyes. Smiling she snuggled up a little closer to me watching the film again. I didn't dare move. Having her close was hard and amazing all at the same time. I also knew if I said anything she'd back off again.
Buffy's P.O.V
Edward had been so sweet to me since I stopped trying to plot ways of trying to kill him. And I'd really started to like him since he stopped entering my head uninvited. The only problem was I couldn't like him. I'd been there so many times before with Angel and Spike. It always goes wrong when it's a vampire and the Slayer. No matter how good that vampire may be we were enemies by nature and the world usually found a way to get in between us. On the other hand I didn't want to hurt him and make him go away. I couldn't bare it if he left me. Mostly for selfish reasons but also because I did have feelings for him. Those ones I couldn't let myself have. So those feelings I decided to ignore it was safer that way. But I still needed him to be my friends. Besides he had an amazing body and snuggling up to him felt good. I was pretty sure neither of us was watching the film but it was a nice way to spend the evening. No slaying. Just relaxing at home, knowing everyone was safe and having company I felt at home with. Even if he was a vampire.
Edwards arm tightened around me. I didn't think he knew he did it but I didn't stop him. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been this close to someone. Spike didn't count really. He'd helped me through the hurt. So was Edward but in a totally different way.
