The Dark and The Light-Billy

L'amour

Billy's Pov

Spike and I sat in the ally watching a bunch of girls giggling loudly, it was kinda obnoxious if you ask me "Oh yeah, check them out" Spike smirked nudging me 

"What about them?" I asked

"Bill, you're not a bad looking fella I mean sure your ears are a little big and you're a bit caveman, personality wise-"

"Yeah alright Spike" I snapped getting a bit pissed off 

"You need to get back in the game, son, pronto," Spike told me seriously "before your dick hands in his resignation" what the hell, I don't want a girl just for sex or as Jess calls it, shenanigans "go on" Spike nudged me  

"I can't," I told him standing up, he looked confused 

"Why not?" 

"Because of Hanna" I replied, the realization hit me that very moment, when I told B that I was going on a date I didn't care that she wasn't upset because I wanted Hanna to be jealous. When I asked her if I should as B out and she got mad that was what I was hoping for. When she snapped at me during the soiree and told me she liked me, I was so happy. That was it. I was completely in love with Hanna.

"What do you mean because of Hanna?" Spike asked 

"I think I'm in love with her," I told him and I started walking towards the cellar, 

"Watch where you're going" a man grumbled walking into me, I froze when I saw his face, he was from the workhouse but no, this wasn't the time for revenge, I had to get to Hanna as soon as possible. 

Hanna's Pov

I sighed sitting on my bed, I wish I had a book to read, things were awfully boring at the moment. I knew Jess was upstairs but she was trying to sleep so that she could find the Rip by going into the caverns in her dreams. B was talking to Sherlock, Spike was outside and I think Billy was too.

I hadn't talked to him since the soiree nor did I want to, I couldn't face the humiliation of being rejected it would be too painful. The door to the cellar opened and someone came in, I didn't think anything of it until Billy walked down the stairs, I began to turn away and try to go to sleep 

"Hanna I need to talk to you," he said sitting down next to me 

"I'm tired" I mumbled not looking at him 

"Hanna I'm not going to ask for your permission to talk to you because I need to tell you something" I stayed silent wondering what he was going to say "you know what I'm not going to tell you I'm going to show you" I had no idea what that meant but my thoughts were interrupted by his lips pressing softly against mine 

"Billy" I whispered pulling away, I didn't want him to do this just because he thought I would feel bad 

"Hanna, I don't care if that was the first time I've kissed you, I just need you to know that I am so in love with you," he said softly "I didn't even realize it but I love you" 

"I love you too," I told him staring into his blue eyes, he leaned forward and kissed me again, I was overwhelmed with feelings, all positive but there were so many. He pulled me to his chest gently smoothing my hair. This was what I had always wanted, love.

I cuddled into him as we just sat there in comfortable silence.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and to be loved
