That talk with Buffy. From huntedmerciless
I had fallen asleep after having incredible sex with Cordy for hours and had woke up with that cold sweat and the pain and anxiety that had occurred before when I had lost my soul. I stirred and rolled and grabbed Cordelia to signal here that it was happening in those final moments when I was still Angel and still had my soul so that she could get away from me and get Buffy and Spike, but instead of running, she did the most incredible thing and glowed on me. I didn't know why or how it worked, but I instantly felt soothed and not in an vil, chilled out briefly way. I felt like it had worked. I didn't know what it meant, but I fell immediately asleep again, intertwined with Cordy, gorgeous and buck-naked with me on the bed.
When I woke, Cordy woke too and I decided that I wanted a shower and some coffee. After showering and dressing, Cordy and I shared about a five minute kiss and then she went into the shower.
When she went into the shower, I decided to see if there was coffee. As I made my way by Spike and Buffy's room, trying not to think about the fact that they were having sex earlier too, Buffy just happened to come out of the room and I made eye contact with her. I wasn't sure how it was going to go. There were things that I wanted to say to her, not the least of which, was if she was sure that she wasn't rebounding with Spike because of all of the losses. I was sure that she had questions for me too, and she followed me, looking at me deeply.
I knew what she was doing and as I stepped on the cold floor, allowing her to look me in the eyes, I gave her the news that she wanted to hear, except that I didn't know how to describe how it was still so.
"Buffy, I still have my soul. Yes, Cordelia and I made love...several times in fact, just like you and Spike did, but I still have my soul..."
We went into the kitchen, it was like she was doing the same thing that I was, looking for coffee, but of course, there was very little in the way of anything here and everything that was here was bad. I looked outside and the SUV was gone.
"Great, now Cordy or you can't make a run to the store or to the local butcher's shop. Does Faith even drive?"
There weren't cops around, so the vehicle hadn't been taken away in that way, so Faith obviously had it, because she wasn't in her room. Buffy shook her shoulders as if she had no clue at whether or not Faith drove.
"I'm trying to avoid bringing up the fact that you and Spike were having such a good time together, Buffy, but yes, I was going to lose my soul, but Cordy still had her higher being powers and glowed on me when I clutched at my chest feeling the pain, and my soul is still intact now. No, I don't know what it means, but I could tell by your face that you were going to ask anyway..."
I looked through the cupboards, trying to appear busy, but actually looking for teabags or anything. We were about to have that talk, though, I knew.
