Subject: BUFFYFIC: DISCUSS: You Answered My Challenge!!!
Everybody-
I just wanted to compliment everyone who answered my challenge (to write
some Willow/Angel fic). They're all interesting spins on the situation.
Who knows? Maybe if I ever finish "Reunion," I'll do my own take on it!
Once again, my compliments!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hello," a perky Buffy called out as she entered the library with
Willow and Xander the next morning.
"You are certainly happy this morning," Giles noticed.
"Well I got a good night's sleep, the first in weeks," Buffy announced.
"Good for you," Giles praised.
"So why are we here on a sunday, G-man," Xander asked
slightly annoyed at being woken up so early on a weekend.
"I told you not to call me that," Giles reprimanded. "And
Caitlin asked us to meet her in the library at noon," he
informed them.
"Is something wrong?" Willow asked.
"She didn't say, but..."
Giles was cut off by the library doors opening and Caitlin
walking through them.
"Hi guys! Sorry I'm late, Angel was being overprotective,"
Caitlin smiled slightly.
"Why?" Willow seemed confused.
" Because I'm leaving," she announced.
"Leaving, already?" Buffy questioned.
"Yeah, I have places to go, things to do, a cure to find.
You know the usual. I just wanted to say goodbye, and
to thank you for all your help."
"When do you leave?" Giles asked.
"My plane leaves at 1:30, which means I need to be
getting on my way."
"We'll miss you," Willow informed.
"Oh, don't worry, I had to pinky swear my brother that I
would write, and call, and visit, frequently," Caitlin laughed.
"Can we drive you to the airport?" Giles offered.
"No, I'll go myself. I hate tearful goodbyes," Caitlin answered.
After Caitlin hugged everyone, and said her goodbyes, she
turned towards the doors to leave she stopped and turned
towards the group once again. "You'll take care of him for me?"
she asked hopefully.
They all nodded in agreement. "He's so lucky to have found
friends like you," were her last words before exiting the library.
"Well, I have to get going," Buffy said.
"Where?" Giles, Willow, and Xander said in unison.
Buffy smiled and answered, "I'm going to see Angel. If he
won't come see me, I'll go see him."
"Buffy, I don't think that's such a good idea," Giles argued.
"This is just something I have to do. I need to know where
I stand with him,I don't expect you to understand," Buffy
finished, and then left the library as well.
"I hope she's doing the right thing," Willow said softly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy took deep breaths before knocking on Angel's door.
"I can't do this," she whispered to herself. "Yes, I can. Get
a hold of yourself, Buffy," she scolded.
She took one more deep breath and knocked loudly on the
door. After a moment or two she heard feet shuffling towards
the door. It opened to reveal Angel wearing a thin white t-shirt,
black sweatpants, and looking very sleepy. As soon as he
saw who was at the door, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Buffy," he breathed.
"Hi," she answered shyly. "I hope I'm not bothering you, but
I'm... we really need to talk, I-I wanted to see how you were,
can I come in?" she rambled.
"Sure," he answered and ushered her in and shut the door.
Buffy glanced around the apartment, expecting it to look
different, but it comforted her knowing that it was exactly
the same as the last time she was here.
Angel watched Buffy as she glanced around the room,
before turning towards him once again. He waited for her
to speak.
"So...how are you doing?" she broke the silence.
"I'm getting by, I guess," he answered. "You?"
"I actually slept the whole night without a nightmare," she
smiled at him.
He smiled in return and looked towards the ground. "I know,"
he said sheepishly.
"I had a feeling you did," she replied.
"Look Buffy, I..."
"Stop!" she said sternly. "I don't want to hear apologies
or excuses. You have nothing to be sorry for."
"I hurt you, I hurt all of them, how can you say that?" he
asked surprised.
"Because it's true. It wasn't you, why can't you understand that?"
"I wish I could," Angel whispered. "Why are you really here, Buffy?"
"I-I..I wanted to see you," she confessed.
"God, I'm so sor......"
He was cut off by Buffy closing the distance between them
and pressing her lips firmly against his. If he wasn't going to
take the first step, she was going to take it instead. She loved
him far to much to let him get lost in his guilt, aside from the fact
that she wanted to be in his arms again, to revel in the fact
that her Angel came back to her. She just wanted things to
be like they were before.
Angel was taken by surprise when Buffy kissed him, he
hesitated at first then gave into her, he pulled her closer
to him and deepened the kiss. It felt so good having her
in his arms again he couldn't hold back. To know that she
still wanted him even after everything that had happened,
overwhelmed his senses. When he knew she needed air
he slowly pulled away from her.
Buffy kept her eyes closed and took in the feel and scent
of him, then slowly opened her eyes and leaned her forehead
against his. "I love you," she whispered.
"I never stopped loving you," was his answer.
"Hold me," she pleaded.
He wrapped his arms around her instantly and held her
tightly in his embrace, while she layed her head over his
heart, and entwined her arms around his neck.
"Are we okay?" Angel asked quietly.
"You still want there to be an us?" Buffy asked hopefully.
He nodded and looked deep into her eyes seeing all the love
she held for him.
She smiled and the tears she was holding back began to spill
down her cheeks. "God, I missed you so much," she sobbed.
"I missed you," he stated, while wiping away her tears. Then
he went to stroking her hair, content in the fact that she had
forgiven him, and continued to love him.
