My Chronicle #5 is too long, it keeps on bouncing, so if anyone would
like to read it, it can be found at my friend's site:

Hope that URL works.

Subject: BUFFYFIC: Universe of Love (1/1)
Title: Universe of Love (1/1)
Author: Clare H.
Distribution: Ask first
Feedback: Sure, itÆs my first fanfic, so itÆs probably bad. Please send
me constructive criticism instead of flames though...
Summary: A Buffy/Angel confrontation
Disclaimer: The characters and ideas of Buffy the Vampire Slayer belong
to Josh Whedon and the WB and a lot of other people, all of whom are not
me. There was no copyright infringement intended. The song lyrics are
from Savage GardenÆs song ôUniverseö and that also is not mine.
Rating: PG? There is nothing that we wouldnÆt see on the show...
Spoiler: The only thing it really relates to is Surprise/Innocence. It
takes place after Killed by Death though...
Notes: This is a scene I imagined for next season. If it happens, I just
guessed.
ItÆs really sappy, so if you hate sappy love stories and are looking for
gory battles, skip this story.
Oh, this {~~~} means weÆre moving to another person/pair of people, and
indented stuff is song quotes.
I'm working on a prequel, but it isn't very far along so don't expect it
for quite a quile...

Buffy sat alone at her favorite spot in the Bronze. She came with the
gang to celebrate the last day before school started. While Will and Oz
danced and Cordy and Xander made-out, she thought. She was thinking
about what the next week would include; training with Giles, getting
settled into a new routine of classes and teachers to hate. It dawned on
her that she was a senior, she and her friends would pick out
collages...could a slayer *go* to collage? She added that to her list of
things to ask Giles.
As Buffy sipped her cafΘ lattΘ, a song that she was unfamiliar with came
on. As she listened, the words seemed to reflect that night she shared
with Angel, less that six months ago...
Well IÆd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
So much had happened since then... So much had happened since last
night. Buffy had saved the world from doom, not to mention her friends
lives and her own from the person she loved most. Her ex-guardian,
Angel.
She lied to her friends when she said she was ready to kill him. The
pain of watching him turn to dust before her was just too much to bear.
So she let him go numerous times, until last night...
~~~
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much and now that itÆs over
You donÆt know what you want
Angel stared across the room thinking practically the same things. Why
did she let me get away with the things I did? Why didnÆt she kill me?
Now that the demon was gone, he had even more guilt to bear. He had hurt
the one thing he had ever loved, that loved him and accepted him, the
dark side, as well as the light. He had destroyed her, piece by piece,
until she was groveling at his feet, begging him to kill her. What have
I done to her? was the first question he asked himself after his soul
got restored. Why? was the immediate second.
She had cured him, finally, after months of torture for herself. Now he
wondered if she wanted him back.
Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection
If we could...
ôDance?ö Angel said as he sneaked up behind Buffy, so as not to let her
get away. ôWe *need* to talk.ö
ôYeah,ö was BuffyÆs only answer.
Angel noticed she looked exhausted, and asked her about it. Instead of a
witty quip, as he was expecting for a response, about how if you save
the world youÆre entitled to look sleepy, he received another nod.
ôDo you want me to leave?ö he asked. ôBecause I will, if youÆre
uncomfortable with me and all. You *were* trying to kill me 24 hours
ago...ö He continued as he thought æGreat, IÆm babbling. I have never
babbled in my life. Boy I must sound like an idiot.Æ
Buffy had never seen him like this, rambling like a nervous 13 year-old
asking out a girl for the first time. ôIf you want to go, IÆll
understand,ö he finally finished.
ôAngel, for the past six months this is all IÆve wanted to do. IÆm in so
much shock that my brain is telling me to hold you and kiss you and make
sure you arenÆt an illusion. The part of me that normally says ôAngelÆs
bad, kill him.ö is still malfunctioning, so please, before I regain my
senses, letÆs have this one dance.ö
Angel replied by pulling her closer ôIÆm just so sorry...ö
Cuddle up close
Lay on my chest now
Listen my heart beatÆs coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now
When you wake up I wonÆt be found
æCause I know baby
I know your the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind
~~~
As the couple danced, Xander looked on disgustedly. ôWell look at them,ö
he whispered to Cordelia. ôCould they get *any* closer?!?ö
ôOr happier? Come on Xander, you know this is what Buffy wants...anyway
theyÆre not much closer than we are.ö
ôYeah, but I wasnÆt a blood thirsty demon 24 hours ago.ö
ôXander, youÆre being unfair, and you know it. You know how much she
loves him,ö and as they looked over they saw them. As close as possible,
fitting perfectly.
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much and now that itÆs over
You donÆt know what you want
~~~
ôWow,ö commented Oz. ôYou all knew Angel as a good guy first, so it must
look normal, or something...that theyÆre dancing, I mean. For me, itÆs
like æwhoa, BuffyÆs double crossing us?Æ æcuz the second time I saw him,
he was already messing with BuffyÆs mind.ö
ôWell, itÆs weird for me too. Last night his fangs were practically in
my neck. That kinda changes how you look at a person.ö
But let me tell you that, this time
IÆm going to make you mine
(IÆm going to make you mine)
æCause I know, this time
IÆm going to make sure I look out for me
~~~
ôI wish I was sure that the curse was irreversible. Maybe, after
tonight, I should leave town...that way if the curse *was* broken, I
couldnÆt hurt you...ö
Buffy could have sworn she saw a tear roll down his cheek. ôAngel, itÆs
okay. IÆm fine. You didnÆt drive me totally insane like Dru and you only
killed Ms. Calender. I admit it was a terrible thing, but it wasnÆt
*you* doing it. If you were around to see how I was treating her for not
telling me...us... about the restrictions of the curse, you would have
been *so* disappointed...ö
ôI could never be disappointed in you, Buffy. You defeated what some
watchers and slayers called the worst vampire in history...me. If I
could take back everything I did to you, but then IÆd have to die and
live in hell, just knowing that you didnÆt have *any* hard feelings for
me would make it worth while. IÆd do it, Buffy, because...I love
you...with all my heart and soul, and...ö
ôShh...ö Buffy whispered, while tears stained her face. Before he
started talking again she went up and kissed him, for the first time in
ages. Once the kiss was over she leaned over and murmured in his ear, ôI
love you too.ö She pulled him down as Angel pulled her up and kissed him
again.
æCause you know baby
Well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So IÆll let you go, baby
So IÆll let you go...
Instead of starting, or deepening the kisses, as he did before he
changed, he was reluctant. Almost not wanting to kiss Buffy. As he
pulled away from her, so she could breathe, he asked, ôAre you sure,
this is smart?ö
ôYou not kissing me. Damnit, *thatÆs* what isnÆt smart,ö she murmured
again.
ôBut...ö
ôAngel, do you want me to go slayer on you? My æangryÆ emotion has
gotten a whole lot more vivid since the last time you saw it.ö
ôWell then, I suppose I donÆt.ö
ôSo I suppose you should kiss me now.ö
ôI suppose I should...ö
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much and now that itÆs over
You donÆt know what you want
Buffy realized that her similarity with the song had ended before that
last line was sung. She *did* know what she wanted, now that her reunion
with Angel was over...She wanted to be with him, in his arms, forever.
As the song ended they stood in an embrace knowing there was a universe
of love in both their hearts.
