Eternal - A Buffy And Angel Story

Chapter 5

A few days later, Buffy and Angel went out on patrol. Shouting still terrified him, as did other loud noises. They walked through the graveyard, holding hands. Nothing abnormal... Yet. Buffy turned round to face her lover.

"What?" He asked, smirking.

"I love you" She murmered.

He pressed his lips to hers. Before long, they were pressed up against a wall, making out. Angel moaned softly as her nails raked up and down his back. Then, the moan pleasure turned into a cry of pain. Buffy pulled back to see a stake in his stomach.

"Angel!!! Oh my god!!!" She caught him as he fell.

"Who are you?" A voice said.

Buffy's head snapped up to see a pretty brown haired girl.

"Buffy. Buffy Summers. You?"

"I'm Faith Lehane. The vampire slayer"

Buffy gasped.

A few hours later, when Buffy had explained everything, Angel awoke. Buffy was perched on the edge of the bed. Angel's chest hurt. He tried to speak, but found he could not. Instead, he whined. Buffy put her hand over his which was on the red velvet duvet. She told him, without speaking 'You're okay, baby'. But still, he started to shake. Not with sadness, but with pure fear as he noticed Faith at the door. He leapt under the covers and hid, shaking and trembling like he was watching the world's scariest movie.

"So, this is Angelus? The Scourge Of Europe? Dude, he's like a puppy in a storm" Faith said.

"Shh... He's scared" Buffy said, glaring.

"Hey, listen, Puppy!!! Gotta get your girl to fight for you?" Faith said in a harsh tone.

Angel then started to cry like a wounded animal.

"Faith!" Buffy almost hissed "Now look what you done!!! Poor guy, you scared him. Leave. NOW!"

Faith huffed and left. As soon as she did, Buffy crawled into bed with the petrified Angel. Angel crawled into her embrace and gasped out his terror. She tried to calm him, but failed. Eventually, he just fell asleep. Buffy held onto him whilst he began to have a nightmare. She whispered to him and kissed him, making the shivers disappear. Then, he awoke. He looked at her beauty.

"I-I-I love you, Buffy..." He whispered, tears once again filling his brown orbs.

"I love you so much, Angel" she ran her warm hands over his cool chest.

A soft growl of pleasure escaped him. She planted kisses all over his neck and chest, making him softly moan.

"I want you..." She whispered in his ear, making him whine.

"I want you too... Buffy..." He said, unable to form a full thought.

She kissed his lips gently and they made love yet again. In the morning, Buffy laid with Angel's head in her lap, whispering her love to her sleeping Angel. She traced his whole body with her eyes. From his dark brown, almost black eyes, closed, true, but she could still see them. His pale, pale, almost translucent skin. His dark, ruffled and fine hair. His little gryphon tattoo. She wouldn't change him for the world. His sexy brooding, how her heart leapt every time he was near. The coolness of his touch.

She remembered she had to go to school, but did not want to wake him, so she lifted his head and put it on the pillow, placing a kiss on his forehead. Grabbing a piece of paper and a pen, she scribbled down

'Dearest Angel,

I have gone to school, if you are wondering, baby. I will be back later. I love you SO much,love!

Lots and Lots of love,

Buffy. xxxxxxxxxxx'

She placed the note on the bedside table, got dressed and left.
