Title: Lovesong for a vampire
Author: GMB loves Angel
Spoilers: IWRY
Rating: I don't really know the system, PG, I think
Authors notes: I was listening to my favorite song and wanted it to be in a fic, so I wrote one. The song is called "Lovesong for a vampire" and for those of you who've seen Bram Stoker's Dracula has heard the song. You have to agree with me, when I say that it's the most beautiful song. If there's some faults in the text, it's because I've only heard the song, I haven't got the lyrics, so I've written what I think she's singing.
**********************************************************
- Buffy, you got to come with us to LA, Annie Lennox is playing at the club we're going to, Willow said, trying to convince her friend.
- Will, I'm not in a party mood. I just want to be by myself.
- But, you need a break from it. You've been going through so much and you need to have some fun for once.
- I have fun, I'm a big fun-haver.
- Buffy, I don't think shutting the world out, by sitting and mope qualifies as fun. I understand that it must have been hard, seeing him again, but you can't shut out the world because of that.
- I know.
- So you'll come with us?
- If it'll make you happy.
Willow hugged her friend and walked out into the hall where Xander was waiting.
- She's coming.
- Great, did you tell her?
- No, I managed to keep it secret.
- Good. Well, I'll go get the car and pick you up in an hour?
- Ok
Meanwhile at Angels investigation:
- Angel, you have to come, she's your favorite artist.
- I'm not really in the mood for it.
- Oh no, no you don't. You're not going to go all brooding again. You need fun if so I have to force it on you!
- But who's gonna stay here?
- I am, Doyle said. - It's the least I can do for you saving my life, if you hadn't been there I would have died, trying to save those demons.
- But...
- No more buts, Cordelia said, firmly. - Come on!
Angel gave up and let Cordelia drag him out the door.
At the club:
The club was almost full, and nobody came in without having bought a ticket on advance. Cordelia hurried to grab a table and told Angel to sit down. He did, but all he could think of was what he'd given up. He could have had it all, he could have been here with Buffy, but no, he had to give it up. He had to sacrifice himself again and now he was the only one who remembered that day. He hadn't even let her remember. He felt like a fool.
Buffy on the other hand sat among her friends at a table on the other side of the room. She was thinking on what she said and how much she wanted to take it back. She didn't want to forget or be away from him, she wanted more and more to go to him and throw herself into his arms.
Then Annie Lennox walked up on the stage. Everyone in the room screamed.
- How are you doing LA?
The fans answered by screaming louder.
- I got this special song request, which I thought was so sweet that I decided to play it. A group of friends wrote to me about a couple that had this really tough relationship and that had gotten split up, but the friends wants to reunite them, because they are miserable without each other. So this song is dedicated to Buffy and Angel.
Buffy turned her head.
- What? Angel's here?
- Right over there, Willow said. - And by the way. The curse is no problem.
- What do you mean?
- He won't loose his soul, go now. Go to him.
Angel on the other hand looked around and found Buffy at once. She looked beautiful. Cordelia, pulled his arm a little, making him turn around towards her.
- Message from Doyle, because you saved his life, the oracles have made your soul permanent.
Before Angel managed to answer, Cordy pushed him towards Buffy. Annie started singing.
"Come into these arms again
and lay your body down.
Rive them off this trembling heart
it's beating like a drawn."
Buffy and Angel recognized the song at once, love song for a vampire. The gang had a funny sense of humor. They met at the middle of the floor, didn't say a thing, just put their arms around each other.
"It beats for you,
it bleeds for you,
it knows not how it sounds.
for it is the drone of drones,
it is the song of songs."
They looked into each other's eyes. Finding the love that they both had though was gone, but no, they still loved each other like they did before.
"Once I had the rains rose,
whenever they do bloom
cruel winter childer buns
they stole my flower to soon."
Buffy lay her head on his shoulder, and he laid his hand over it and pulled her closer to him.
"oh loneliness
oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
for there is
in all the world
no greater love than mine."
Buffy lifted her head up from his shoulder and their lips met again after a long time being apart.
"love, oh love, oh love, oh love
oh love, oh love, oh love
still falls the rain, still falls the rain
love, oh love, oh love, oh love
oh love, oh love, oh love
still falls the night
love, oh love, oh love, oh love
oh love, oh love, oh love
they bind forever, they bind forever
love, oh love, oh love, oh love
oh love, oh love, oh love, oh love
love, oh love, oh love, oh love, oh love.
let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
now the floor of endless lane
the stars are bright as glow
they shine for you
they shine for you
they burn for all to see."
As the song ended they still were inseparable.
"come into these arms again,
and set this spirit free..."
The Scoobies cheered out loud, so loud that both Buffy and Angel heard it. Buffy finally smiled and Willow saw it. She smiled back. Cordy just waved good-bye to them. And they both finally took off.
An hour later at Angels investigations:
Cordelia entered the office to find Doyle there, smiling.
- What are you smiling for?
- Like you don't know.
- Ok, so they came here.
- Yeah, an hour ago. Haven't seen them since.
- Hope that this doesn't end in a kid or something.
- To late.
- What?
- She's pregnant.
- How do you know?
- The oracles told me. It happened when Angel was human for one day, and the powers never erase the lives that are created when they turn back time.
- Do you think she knows?
- Nope.
- Maybe we should go home, I doubt we'll get any clients tonight and even if we do, I don't wanna go down there.
- Me neither.
And the two of them left the office together

FEEDBACK PLEASE! I love writing fanfics, but I want to know if they're good or not.
