Buffy/Angel
I was talking about B/A sappiness yesterday (*waves at coalitiongirl*); this is the result. :) Set in Morning After and Other Fairytales 'verse. (i.e. clause, what clause?)
213. Surprise
Angel moved to a sitting position, careful not to disrupt the girl in his bed. Buffy was asleep again, the anxiety of her misguided urge to flee his apartment smoothed away by some pleasant dream.
The soft lift of her lips tugged at his own, but no smile was forthcoming. She’d almost left. The memory of her escape attempt bothered him. Spending the night with Buffy had been a frequent fantasy of his; it galled him to have failed to convey that to her.
Maybe they had gone too far, too fast.
No matter. The only way left was forwards.
Eta: 9 more.
