Buffy woke up and stared at the moon. She wished he was here to hold her.
But he wasn’t. She hadn’t seen him in weeks since they shared a kiss, and
said their good byes. But Buffy never wanted to say good bye, she didn’t want
to forget him. She had to. Angel was just to dangerous for any slayer to get
into any kind of relationship with. He was a vampire. End of story.
Angel was out for a nightly walk. His walk had brought him to the front of
her house. He was tempted to just take a look at her. She probably would be
sleeping. She wouldn’t even know he was there, watching over her sleeping
form. But what if she was awake? He would have to talk to her and explain why
he had come. The pain in his heart made him growl loudly. It had been weeks
since he had last seen her, he never knew that love could hurt this much.
Especially for a vampire.
Buffy heard a growl that made her face move down to the sidewalk in front of
her house. She saw a dark figure but the figure didn’t see her. She knew it
was him. Her Angel. her sweet, loving Angel. She wished it could be like it
used to be. He would just come in, watch her sleep, and she would pretend to
sleep until he left. Then he would give her a tiny kiss on her mouth and
leave. Then she would wake up and watch him disappear into the dark shadows.
But it couldn’t be that way. Never again. She smiled when she remembered the
night she had first caught him watching her sleep. He was so embarrassed when
she opened her eyes. Then they had a good laugh and said their good byes. She
let out a loud laugh and the figure turned around.
Angel heard a loud laugh that made him jump. he turned around and saw her
smiling at him through her window. He walked over to the window and jumped
onto her roof. He had to see her. Awake or Asleep. When he got to the window
he sat next to it on the roof. Her face was red with tear stains and she
sobbed. He hated seeing her like this. So sad. His face was red with tear
stains. He went in through the window and stood up. He looked at her and
smiled. Then he scooped her up in his arms and held onto her tightly. Then
they both pulled away at the same time and kissed each other passionately.
This kiss lasted so long that they both thought they’d suffocate. But that
was what they wanted. To be together this way. They didn’t care how they
would end up. As long as they were together. Their dream was to stay this way
and die in each others arms. But they kiss subsided and he carried Buffy to
her bed . He placed her on it carefully, as if she would break.
Buffy laid on her bed and smiled at Angel’s face above her. They couldn’t
stay away from each other like they thought they could. Their love was too
strong. It could conquer anything that was in their way. But Buffy realized
the thing it couldn’t conquer or demolish. She was the slayer and he was a
vampire. She burst into tears again and fell into his arms. This would
always be there. Neither of them could change who or what they were. But they
could stay away from this, their everlasting love.
When he saw her tears flowing again, he knew what she was thinking. A slayer
and a vampire. Lovers? It could never be. But they were together, in love,
and nothing could break it. A tear fell down his cheek when he thought of
what would happen to her in 100 years. She would be dead, and he would have
to live with her death, for the rest of his immortal life. But he couldn’t
let her go. She was his. No one else could ever love her as much as he did.
His thoughts turned to Xander. The scared little boy, who lover her with all
his heart. But Buffy didn’t love him in return. Not with Angel being there to
always love her, till the end of time. Maybe he should let her love another.
Someone like Xander. But she was his. He couldn’t let go of that. His face
was bright red with tear stains.
Buffy was still sobbing. She couldn’t stop thinking of him. Even though he
was this close to her, holding her as tight as he was, she couldn’t stop
thinking of him dying. But he was immortal. He was always careful. Another
slayer could kill him. Another slayer could love him. She remembered she
would die. Then he would go and meet another. She would be even prettier than
Buffy was now. She started to sob and then she pulled way from his grip. She
looked into his tearstained eyes. He did love her. She loved him.
Angel looked into her eyes. Their was so much love in them. He kissed her
and then told her to sleep. She said don’t go but he looked back at her and
mouthed a good bye and I love you. Then he dissappeared into the night.
Buffy was now sobbing hysterically. He was gone. She would never see his
happy face staring at her in the Bronze. But he would watch her sleep, and
follow her everywhere he went. it wouldn’t be the same. She had to be with
him all night, every night, till the end of time. But they had to stay apart.
It was just too dangerous to be together. The way she felt in his arms always
made her shiver and cry. He was hers. Forever. Till the end of time. Her
Angel. Angelus. Dark Angel. Archangel. Her Guardian Angel. Yes, that was it.
He was her Guardian Angel. Forever. Always. She loved him and he loved her.
She then laid down on her bed and cried herself asleep. She couldn’t think.
At least not until sun up.
