Epilogue

 

 

Big thanks to Marsters’ Girl for beta’ing these chapters!

 

 

 

Buffy awoke in the early afternoon to find two soft, deep, ocean blue eyes gazing down at her with so much love she was almost shocked.  She gave him a tender smile and blinked sleepily.

 

 

 

"Hey..."  She mumbled, leaning up to kiss him.

 

 

 

He spoke when she moved back, "Hi."

 

 

 

"I'm gonna take a shower." 

 

 

 

"Want some company?"  Spike asked, grinning down at her.

 

 

 

"Sure."  Buffy grinned back, her eyes lighting up.

"Okay, I'm done."  Buffy called upstairs and Spike came down, his damp hair slicked back.

 

 

 

"Thanks, pet."  Spike was tugged on to the sofa and the slayer hit 'play' on the VCR.

 

 

 

"Do you mind if we watch it?  Xander brought it round last night for me, but I was a bit busy."

 

 

 

"Sure."  Buffy smiled, then grinned at Spike's next words, which were filled with dread.  "Its not a vamp flick is it?"

 

 

 

"Nah, I wouldn't be so cruel....well, maybe I would but its not!"  Spike chuckled, settling the slayer against him as <Ten Things I Hate About You>  started to play.

 

 

 

The film was just drawing to an end, at its most upsetting point when Cat is reading out her poem to the class, when Willow returned from college.  She dumped her bags and walked into the sitting room.  She stopped and stared at the image on the couch before calming and speaking.

 

 

 

"Hi, Buffy."

 

 

 

Buffy turned to face her friend with tearing eyes, "Hi."

 

 

 

Willow walked further into the room, "Sad movie?"  Her eyes fluttered over to the screen and she quickly turned away, "Oooh, I can't watch this bit!"

 

 

 

When Willow heard the scene end she turned back and blushed at the sight of the two bottle blondes making out.  She silently slipped from the room, carrying her stuff upstairs, intent on finishing some homework.

 

 

 

*Life was weird*, the witch decided.

 

 

 

*But, * she mentally continued after taking one last look at the happy couple on the couch, *I wouldn't want it any other way. *
