Shades of gray- Story 2 {BtVS/Supernatural}

3. The truth in the song

A/N: I was browsing Youtube and came across the song and I just had to use it. *dances to song on repeat* Anyway....Characters don't belong to me, and the song is 'Falling in' by Lifehouse. Enjoy!

When Buffy woke the next day, she noticed that Sam’s bed was empty, and figured he’d gone to get food and coffee, so she smiled and snuggled closer into Dean’s warm embrace. She turned over reached a hand out to trace the beginnings of a five-o’clock shadow on his jaw.

She’d dreamed of being with him every night since they’d left, and it made her feel not as alone to know that it’d only taken a phone call to bring him back. That he’d turned around and had come to see her again, she knew it was because he’d been worried, and felt bad that she hadn’t kept in touch better, but what with Angelus, Spike, and Dru and the swim team thing; she had constantly missed him and he her.

The clock radio going off startled her, and her slight jump made his eyes open to look at her. She smiled to assure him that there were no threats, just the breaking of silence that she hadn’t expected and he smiled back groggily.

He’d slept better than he had since the last time she’d been curled against him when she’d told him about dying. She leaned closer and kissed his nose and lips, and he pressed a hand to the small of her back, kissing her back. The radio had started playing a song that he barely noticed, but the words to it stuck in his mind as he released all of the tension he’d felt when he hadn’t heard her voice in the last week.

‘Every time I see your face

my heart takes off on a high speed chase.

Now don't be scared, it's only love

baby that we're falling in.

I can't wait to tomorrow,

this feeling has swallowed me whole

and know that I've lost control.

This heart that I've followed

has left me so hollow,

that was then, this is now

yeah, you have changed everything.’

Buffy moved on top of him to straddle his hips on the bed and he stopped kissing her long enough to tangle a hand in her hair, looking deep into her eyes. He wondered if she too was listening to the song, or had any idea what thoughts were spinning around in his head, the words he couldn’t quite say.

Buffy smiled and kissed his wrist, then bent forward to kiss him again, and he warred with the impulse to be tender over his usual gruff passion. He always seemed to get lost in the moment with her, where nothing mattered. He forgot everything around him, didn’t even care that he couldn’t hear Sammy in the adjacent bed or the room.

‘Every time I see your face

my heart takes off on a high speed chase.

Now don't be scared, it's only love

that we're falling in.

I would never do you wrong

or let you down or lead you on.

Don't look down, it's only love

baby that we're falling in.

I'm standing in your driveway

it's midnight and I'm sideways,

to find out if you feel the same.
