I'm Cookies
Author's Note(s): 350 word drabble set before 'Chosen'.Pairings: Buffy/Spike
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy or Spike or any of the other characters from BtVS. I just like to get them naked and roll them around in a bed ... or on a tomb ... under the table ... in the shower ... Um, you get the idea.
Feedback? Please, please, with chocolate and Spike on top!
"No wait. You know what? I had this whole cookie dough/cookies metaphor thingy, but forget that now. I’m done. I love you Angel."
A sharp gasp sounded from somewhere behind her and she had to stop her mouth from curving into a smile, sure now that the tingly feeling she had first thought was Angel’s nearness, was in actuality, her bleach-blond lover. She just hoped he’d stick around to hear the rest.
She held up her hand stopping him as Angel started to step forward and claim her lips again. "I love you, Angel, I always will, but the things that stopped us from being together before, still exist now. You’ll always be in my heart, but you don’t own it anymore."
She softened her words, not wanting to hurt him more than necessary. "It belongs to Spike now and he deserves to know it."
She bit back another grin at the whispered, 'bloody hell' before turning her attention back to her first love. His liquid brown eyes were dark in the moonlight, made darker by the immense pain reflected there.
"But Buffy," he began, and she almost winced at the little boy whine in his voice. Had it always been there? Or had she just finally grown up enough to hear it?
She held up her hand again, "No, Angel. I don’t want to hear it. I know what Spike was better than anyone. I know. But I also know who he is now. And he is not that vampire, that monster, anymore. He’s a man. He’s a good man, Angel, soul or no soul and that’s something you can’t say about yourself."
She held up the amulet, large in her small fist, "This belongs to him. He is the ‘one’ Angel. He is my champion."
Angel allowed a tear to escape and roll down his cheek, seeing the truth in her green eyes. She was lost to him now, lost to him for Spike! He nodded his head once and turned his back on her and walked away for the last time.
