Slayer's Daughter

Moving

    "You're moving?" Sarah says, surprised as she eats her salad.
    "Yes, it was an impulse decision. I like being able to sleep in my bedroom rather than avoid it like the plague."
    "I can help you move if you want."
    "I was actually wondering if you would like to live...with me."
    Sarah nods, smiling, "I would love that."
    "Wow, the room is tense, what's going on?" Xander asks as everyone walks into the room.
    "Xander, great timing, as always," Sarah says.
    "Sarah and I were actually discussing moving in together."
    "Moving in together? You've only been dating for like, a month." Buffy says.
    "If there is anything this past year has taught us, it's that life is short."
    "Are you two orgasm buddies?" Anya asks.
    "ANYA!" Xander yells and Buffy laughs.
    "What? You and I are-" Xander cups his hand over Anya's mouth, chuckling nervously.
    "The best of buds."
    "Right, of course."
    "How was your first week of college?" Giles asks.
    "Well, I wouldn't call it a full week, since there's no school today, but...boring." Buffy sighs.
    "I got a job at the construction site down the road," Xander says.
    "I made a friend in my Wicca group. Her name is Tara," Willow blushes at Tara's name.
    "What have you been doing since you were fired?" Xander asks.
    "Probably Miss Wel-" Anya starts.
    "Anya, shush," Xander says.
    "I have not been doing Sarah, for your information."
    "Rupert," Sarah says, trying to hold back a laugh.
    "I have to head back to finish packing, would you like to come?" Giles asks.
    "Yeah, sure."
    "If you want I can help you pack some of your things."
    Sarah nods and they link arms, walking away with her head rested on his shoulder.

2 months later

    "Good morning, darling," Giles smiles, watching Sarah leave their bedroom.
    "Good morning," she says, kissing him as she walks into the kitchen.
    "How was your sleep?"
    "Wonderful," she smiles, kissing him.
    "I love your smile," he says.
    "I love your nose," she says, poking his nose.
    "I love your eyes," he steps closer to her.
    "I love your hair."
    "I love you," he says, catching Sarah off guard.
    There's a long pause before Sarah speaks, "I love you too."
    A smile spreads across his face and he presses his lips against hers.
