[Scratches head before smiling as if she remembered telling him. Which, she did not. XD!] Oh, yeah! I did. But seriously, not looking forward to it. Oddly enough. Not sure why.
[Angel freezes at those two words, uttered in almost the exact same tone he remembered, then swallowed nervously.]
I-I-I, I don't-- Y'know, I'm a, a terrible, gift-buyer. Especially for young girls. [He can't help but put a little emphasis on the word 'young.'] I'd probably get you something you'd hate, and, uh-- [Drops his head and wipes his hands nervously on his pants.]
[Something tugs at her heart when she sees his stance change. He froze up and observant Buffy s very observant. Reaching out her hand, she drops it for the time being and simply apologizes.] I didn't mean to put pressure on you. I was totally joking when I said surprise me. You don't need to get me anything.
[She ignores her self doubt and reaches over to take his hand in hers. That fire once again igniting as soon as warm skin comes in contact with cool skin. What was there about him that made her want to leap into the fire and not care about being burned? It was as if nothing other than them existed. The whole world could be crashing around them and she'd only ever see him.] I just need you.

[Angel swallowed nervously. Buffy's small hand wrapped around his, and the heat felt like he should be bursting into flames. He started breathing heavily, his body responding to his emotions regardless of whether he physically needed the air.] Buffy, I, I don't...
[Angel glanced between Buffy's face to their clasped hands. He looked back at Buffy's face... Something inside him tore loose. He knew what she meant. It was the same reason he couldn't stay away from her, even though she was too young... She would always be too young for him, but it was more obvious now, when she was so innocent and carefree, without the weight of the world on her shoulders.]
[Angel cupped her cheek gently with his free hand.] I need you, too. I try... I can't help it...
[He gently pulled on her hand, drawing her forward, closer to him. Still holding her hand, he lifted that hand up to her face as well, framing it. He studied her expression as he slowly leaned in, giving her plenty of time to draw away

Good job Angel! *Hands him a cookie!*little_buffyDecember 19 2009, 12:24:55 UTC
[Is this what a heart attack felt like? If she wasn't fifteen, she'd have sworn this was the real deal. Her heart fluttered and then skipped a beat. After that, it stopped for a few seconds before pounding like a marching band. Everything in her soul screamed at her for more connection.
Her head wrestled with the decision to or not to clutch his hand so tight that he lost all circulation, just so she knew he was there and staying there most importantly.]
Please... just...
[She had no idea what she was saying. Her brain wasn't even forming words any longer at this juncture. Yet they were spilling out of her mouth like they held any meaning or reason
( ... )
[It had started out as a gentle, tender kiss. Not a mere peck, but not overwhelming in its intensity.
He should have known Buffy would have her own thoughts on that.
He startled when he felt her warm tongue press against his lips. They parted in surprise, and Buffy took advantage, pressing forward and tangling briefly with his before pulling back. An instant later, her lips were gone as well, and Angel was left dazed, and feeling bereft.
He was sure he'd started this. When had the tables been turned, and Buffy gained control? Or had she really always had the upper hand, and only now were either of them realizing it? It seemed like maybe both of them were realizing it, from the very pleased look that Buffy was trying to hide.
Angel ran his thumb gently over Buffy's bottom lip.] You... are a very dangerous girl. [His eyes shifted from her mouth, to her eyes, and back to her mouth. He pulled her forward for another kiss, pulling that bottom lip between his own, sucking gently.]
[The kiss was what fairy tales were made out to be. Perfect and sweet. Heart fluttering and dizzying. No wonder Disney managed to make so much money. They hit the nail on the head every single time with their prince meets normal girl and falls in love stories.
Dreamily she smiled back at him, eyes glazed over with lust, longing and... God help her... love.
Kissing the pad of Angel's thumb when it trailed over her lip, Buffy feigned innocence. As if she'd no idea what he was talking about.] Am I? I'd no idea. Here I thought I was... [She was cutoff mid sentence by the kiss. Fluttering shut, her eyes stayed closed as she concentrated on the feeling and feeling alone of Angel's lips around hers once more. Two could definitely play at this game.
Grinning inwardly at her thoughts, all of which were being juggled, she allowed her fingers to come between them and trace a pattern up and down the length of the buttons to his shirt. One by one, each button coming undone until there were no more left in the enclosure slits.]
[The taste of her... was just how he remembered. Angel pressed into the kiss, deepening it but still keeping it slow, sensual. He'd waited for this, denied himself this for so long, he was going to savor it. God, he loved her, he loved everything about her. Time had dulled his memory, softened the sharp edges of the pain being away from her caused, but now he remembered

A little bit. [Giggles.]

You're too young to see this, anyway.

Hey! I am not. I'll be sixteen in less than a month. I think that qualifies me as not young. I'm closer to twenty than I am ten, so ha!

Besides, these things aren't meant to be taken seriously, anyway.

Wait, what's today's date? [Realizes another thing.] How'd you know when my birthday is?
They're not? [Gasps in mock surprise.] I'd no idea!

What do you want for-- [Has a sudden sense of deja-vu.] Uh, what present do you want?

[Can't help but to smile at his offer and at him, too.] Surprise me.
