William's mother hadn't come to wake him up
that morning and he assumed she'd cancelled his lessons for the day. Not that
he really cared. He was too miserable to concentrate anyway.
Time wasn't easing his pain. It was only
making it worse since the longer he was away from Buffy the more he hurt. He
was empty without her, and there was nothing to fill the void she left behind.
He didn't leave the bed all morning, not
caring how pathetic that made him. All he had the energy to do was sulk anyway.
His mother had come once to try to get him to agree to eat something, but he'd
declined. His stomach was too tied up in knots for food.
It was later in the afternoon before his
mother came back, this time walking into his room and sitting on the edge of
the bed. "William, we need to talk."
"I'll get out of bed tomorrow," he
replied, though his voice held little conviction.
"It's not about that. I have something
to ask you about Cecily Underwood."
William sat up and looked at his mother.
"What about her?"
"Do you still have feelings for Cecily?"
"Bloody hell,
no!" William exclaimed. He
blushed when he remembered who he was talking to. "Sorry, Mother. I didn't
mean to curse."
"It's all right, dear. I'm actually a
bit relieved by your enthusiasm. Thought it does make what I heard today somewhat
more confusing."
William frowned. "Oh? What's
that?"
"Buffy seems to be under the impression
that you kissed Cecily at a party last Friday. She claims she saw you."
"What? I wouldn't�" William's eyes
widened. "Oh bollocks. Cecily kissed me. I pushed her away, made it right
clear that I'm not interested. Buffy saw that? Or the kissing part at least�"
William realized that that did make Buffy's behavior a lot clearer. It made
sense that she would say she never wanted to see him again if she thought he'd
recently been snogging Cecily.
One thing, however, did not make sense.
"How did you know that�about Buffy seeing me with Cecily?" William
asked his mother.
"That's not important. What is is that you fix this right away. Go over to her house and
speak to the girl. Only I do suggest you tidy up a bit first. You might frighten
the poor dear the way you look at the moment."
"Gee, thanks, Mum."
"It's only a bit of advice, sweetheart,"
she replied, patting his leg. "Women tend to like their men a little more�clean.
Now you get up and go get your girl back before you turn into one of those
lonely middle-aged men obsessed with their mothers, okay?"
William cocked an eyebrow. "What, are
you trying to marry me off already?"
"Just looking out for your best
interests," his mother answered with a wry smile. "Now up. Stop
wasting time."
"What if she won't listen to me?"
William asked, feeling his fear returning. "Or what if
she's realized over the past few days that she's happier without me."
"William, honestly," his mother
said with a heavy sigh. "You're making up excuses and they're not at all
helpful. I saw a change in you when you were with this woman. She made you
happy, pulled you out of your shell. I'd rather not think about how she accomplished this exactly, but
as your mother I can't begrudge the good she did for you. It was obvious the
two of you had something strong between you, even watching from the side as I
did, and if you're going to let that go because of a misunderstanding, well,
I'm going to have to stop telling people how smart my son is."
"I just�she was so upset, and I don't
know if�"
"William, get in the bloody shower and
then go talk to your girlfriend. Now."
William froze for only a moment before
scrambling to get out of the bed and head towards the bathroom. There was no
arguing with his mother�not when she had that look on her face.
Anne smiled to herself as she got to her
feet and walked from her son's room. Now all she had to do was call Rupert and
make sure he let William in, and she knew those two kids would work everything
out.

Buffy sat on her bed trying to concentrate
on her homework. She'd been in a good mood for most of the day, Cecily's
expulsion brightening what would've otherwise been dark. But now when she was
alone, she was unable to keep the thoughts of William at bay.
This was precisely why she hadn't wanted to
fall in love again. She'd gone through this before and the aftermath from it
had almost destroyed her life. She couldn't let that happen again. She knew she
shouldn't have allowed herself to fall for William in the first place, but she
had, and the best she could do now was take it as a lesson. No matter how good
a man seemed, he would still end up only breaking your heart.
Buffy heard a knock on her door and called
out an automatic "Come in" without looking up from her textbook,
assuming it to be Giles.
"Hello, Buffy."
Buffy froze, her
heart jumping. She'd know that voice anywhere, and it certainly wasn't Giles�
She looked up, taking in her first good look of him in days and feeling her
body temperature rise. With a shake of her head, she reminded herself that she
couldn't want him anymore. "Get out of my room, William."
"Not until we've talked."
"I think I made it pretty damn clear
that I didn't want to talk to you anymore," Buffy snapped. "Now get
the fuck out."
William's jaw ticked, but he stood his
ground, neither moving closer to her or retreating.
"No. We need to talk. I think there's a few
things that you've gotten wrong."
"The only thing I've gotten wrong was thinking you were worth my
time," Buffy replied. She slammed her book shut. "And if you won't
leave, then I am, because I can't stand to even look at you."
Buffy got off her bed and started towards
the door. Just as she was passing William, his hand shot out, grabbing her by
the arm. Buffy looked up at him angrily, trying to
break his grasp. "Let me go."
"Buffy, listen to me. You're being ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous! After the way you've
treated me?"
"Yes!" William yelled.
"Bloody hell, I haven't even done what you think I did, Buffy! All you're
doing is thinking the worst of me, never giving me a sodding chance."
"I don't have to give you a chance!
You're all the same. Every man I've ever trusted has broken my heart. Why
should you be any different?"
"Because I am!" William replied. "I've never done anything to
hurt you, Buffy."
"You kissed Cecily!" Buffy screamed.
"And don't even try to deny it, William, because I saw you."
"What you saw was Cecily kissing me," William said. "I pushed her
away! I'm not interested in her, Buffy, especially after what she did to you�to
us. She's nothing to me. You're everything."
Buffy paused a little at that, blinking.
"What?"
"I didn't kiss Cecily. She threw
herself at me and I turned her down. Told her she'd never be the woman you
are."
Buffy gaped, unsure of what to say. Could William
be telling the truth? It seemed rather convenient, him
claiming that he had indeed pushed Cecily away, only it had been right after
Buffy had left. That sort of stuff only happened in fiction, never in real
life. "I can't believe you," Buffy said.
"It's the truth," William told
her. He turned her so she was facing him, wrapping his free hand around her
other arm. "Look at me, Buffy. I'm not with Cecily. I will never be with Cecily. You are the only
woman in this world that I want to be with. I need you, Buffy, need you like I need the blood in my veins. I'm
dying without you, kitten. Can't sodding stand a day of my
life that you're not in."
Buffy felt hot tears
pricking her eyes. "I can't,
William," she said, shaking her head from side to side. "I can't get
hurt again. I can't�"
"You won't. Buffy, I promise you that
the last thing I will ever do is hurt you. I'd die before I'd let that happen. You've
worked your way into my heart until all that's there is
you."
"I can't," Buffy repeated.
In desperation, William pulled her to him,
crushing her mouth with his. Buffy's eyes widened, her body staying stiff for a
moment before she gave in and melted against, unable to resist any longer.
Feeling her grow pliant, William released his grip on her to wrap his arms
around her and pull her close.
It didn't take long at all for their kiss to
become desperate, their bodies rubbing up against each other as they sought
what they'd been denied for these cold, lonely nights. William knew that
nothing had really been resolved and that what they should be doing right then
was talking, but he couldn't quite get himself to care. Feeling her in his arms
made his brain take an immediate backseat.
He broke away from her mouth, panting for
air. "I want you, Buffy. God, I
want you."
"I want you, too, William," she replied.
"I've missed you so much�"
That was all the go-ahead William needed.
Talking could come later. He glanced to his side at the few feet separating
them from the bed and decided it was too far, pulling Buffy down with him to
the floor instead. Their hands tore at each other's clothes until there was
nothing left to separate them. "Buffy, can't�" William panted.
"I have to be inside now�"
Buffy knew what he was trying to say and
agreed. Now was not the time for teasing and foreplay. That could come later
when they'd taken the edge off of the raging desperation caused by their
separation. She wrapped her legs around his hips, showing him that she welcomed
him inside. "I know. I need you, too."
William wasted no more time in sliding in to
the hilt, filling Buffy with one long stroke. They both froze at the feeling of
being joined again, their eyes locking. He felt his feelings for Buffy rising
to the surface, and William knew he couldn't hold them back anymore. He rested
his weight on one hand, stroking her cheek with the other.
"I love you, Buffy."
Buffy gasped at his words, seeing them reflected in his crystal blue eyes. It was almost too
much, the moment so intense she felt as if she could shatter. Any words she might
have said got caught in her throat, and she thrust her hips, desperate to
relieve both the pressure in her body and her heart.
William began to move then, his eyes still
looking deeply into hers. Buffy found herself almost fighting for breath, both
her emotions and his weighing on her. She held on to his arms hard enough to
mark him, feeling as if she let go, she'd slip away.
William ducked his head down, his mouth against
her ear. She could hear him whispering something repeatedly until it finally pierced
her fogged brain. Love you�love you�
over and over again. Buffy gasped, bucking beneath him, tears streaming down
her cheeks, though she was unaware of them. He made her feel so much.
Buffy screamed when her orgasm hit her, her
nails scoring William's pale skin. He followed her over soon afterwards and
Buffy continued to cling to him, needing to keep him close, to keep the
connection.
Finally, they collapsed in a heap, their ragged
breaths seeming almost synchronized as they pushed against the silence in the
room. Buffy's heart was beating so rapidly it frightened her as her thoughts
whirled through her mind.
William loved her�he'd said the words. Oh god, William loved her, too!
She wasn't sure if that filled her with
happiness or dread. He'd said the words�did he mean them? Could she trust him
with her heart after it had taken so long to patch it up the last time it had
broken? Would she be able to handle it if she accepted his love now and he took
it away from her later? She opened her mouth to speak, though she stopped as
she caught something out of the corner of her eye.
"William?"
"Yeah?"
"We forgot to close the door."
He glanced up, a
chuckle rumbling though his chest as he saw that it indeed was open.
"Yeah, we did. Sorry, got a little�distracted."
"It's okay. I think Giles is down in
his study anyway."
"Actually, he was headed out when I came
in," William said. "Didn't say where he was going."
"Oh."
William dropped a kiss to her forehead
before standing up, going over to the door and shutting it. He walked back to
Buffy then, picking her up and cradling her in his arms as he carried her over
to the bed. Buffy let him, welcoming his embrace as he slid under the blankets
with her, holding her close. Her school books slid to the floor, but she
ignored them, turning to bury her face against William's chest, breathing his
scent in deeply.
Words were still left unsaid on both sides,
and they knew it. But for the moment, neither one cared. For the first time in
days, they felt complete.
