milesofregret Angel/Faith
I had to say, now that everything was over, things were much better. Besides the fact that well … there’s barely anyone around because of the disease that went through to possibly the world, but it was better because now I wasn’t some … whatever I was. The would be anti-christ and Faith wasn’t my bride. I was glad she was okay, more than glad, I was relieved. I knew that if I lost her, I pretty much lost everything and it was her that got us out of this. I owed her a lot and I was going to give her whatever she wanted that I could well … get. That’s why when she wanted to go to Vegas, I pretty much said yes. Well, that and the way she was acting toward me. I craved her and I haven’t had that in a long time. She was something that I wanted to hold onto.
Thinking about the times that I actually wanted someone like that close to me, well, there was Buffy. That was a long time ago and now … well, she was gone. I don’t think it hit me yet. Really hit me. It was like I was blocking that out. Maybe that was for the best. Then Cordelia. I remember a time which actually wasn’t that long ago when I did want her. I cared for her and loved her and then … everything went crazy and her and Connor. I still remember that night, listening … I can’t even think about it right now because now my son and her are … gone as well. That hasn’t hit me yet either. Some part of me hopes it never will. Glancing over at Faith as I drove, I grinned at the look she was giving me.
“You know, you are …” I trailed off to stop myself because I knew that was something that she wouldn’t want to hear. She was different from Buffy in the way to be treated and what to say. Buffy wouldn’t mind me telling her that she was beautiful, but Faith … I wasn’t sure how she’d react. So I didn’t say anything. Instead I just smiled and shook my head before looking back at the road.
The drive wasn’t that long and it helped out that there was a gas station that was abandoned, but the pumps still worked. I filled up on gas while Faith roamed the store, coming out pretty much empty handed besides some packs of cigarettes that were probably stale. Not that I would know, I would just figure. Once she was back in the car, I sped off and it wouldn’t be that long until we were finally in Las Vegas.
Once we were there, going down the strip, it looked … like nothing I thought it was going to look like. I already knew it would be pretty much abandoned, but there were a few people out on the street, not a lot, nothing like it usually is. Like a dead town. Which of course, it was. But, I also thought that it would be run down almost. Like everything on the strip would be looted, but it wasn’t. People were going into the casino’s of course, doing whatever it is they were doing, but that was pretty much it. Maybe they still had some type of hope.
Right now? All me and Faith had was a need to rest and not have to worry. I wondered how long that would last.
