Chapter 8:
Love Remains the Same

Disclaimer: Title for Chapter based off the song “Love
Remains the Same” By Gavin Rossdale

Buffy found her
way back to Giles all on her own. He was sitting by the car,
drinking what looked like tea and cuddling close to a small fire.
He smiled as he saw her, standing up to greet her. She ran into his
arms, finally feeling safe once more. He chuckled and played in her
hair, letting her cuddle into him. She pulled away after a few
minutes and sighed, sitting down by the fire as attempted to get
warm. He sat down beside her, feeling her lean up against him as
soon as she got close.

"How did it
go?"

"I'm more
confused now than ever..."

"What did the
spirit guide tell you?"

"She told me
I am full of love.."

"I could have
told you that, sweetheart."

She sighed,
shrugging her shoulders. He knew that wasn't all. He could see it
in her eyes that the events that had happened had changed Buffy.
She was full of thought, and he only wanted to help her feel better
about herself and the experience. Her ran a finger through her
blonde hair as she turned to look up at him.

"There is
something else..."

"Yes?"

"She told me
not to reject the love...and that love would lead me to my gift."

"Gift? I
don't..."

"I know. I
don't understand either. All she said was that love would lead me
to my gift, and that my gift was Life."

They sat in
silence for a few minutes. Giles didn't really understand what it
was supposed to mean either. How could love lead her to a gift, and
that gift was apparently going to be life? He sighed and shrugged
his shoulders, before kissing her forehead.

"Buffy, You
will figure it out. You always do."

"I was kind
of hoping you would have some ideas..."

He chuckled and
shook his head. Buffy sighed and laid her head back against him,
shaking her head. She didn't understand. What had the spirit guide
been trying to tell her. She knew one thing was for sure though.
She couldn't reject love anymore, no matter how unimportant it may
seem in the long run. If she wanted to feel like she wasn't losing
love, she would have to be more open to the idea. He ran his
fingers through her hair, watching her closely. The whole thing was
bothering her. She needed to get her mind off of it, or she would
never figure it out. He pulled her body around to face him, her
eyes looking up into his.

"Why don't we
get you back home, Love?"

She shook her
head, and he tried to speak but she placed a finger on his lips.
She spoke so softly that he could barely hear what was spilled from
her lips.

"I'm not
going home tonight...I-I want to stay with you..."

"Are...you
sure?"

"Yes."

She leaned in,
kissing his lips as softly as she could. The desire boiled inside
of him, and he pulled her into his lap, kissing her back. She could
feel it as deeply as he could. She wanted him. She wanted all of
him. His looks, his personality, his caring nature, and the love
that they both shared. No one had ever made her feel as deeply as
she felt about him. Not even Angel, and she had always thought had
loved Angel with all her heart. But, the connection between her and
Giles was deeper than any romantic bond she had ever formed with
anyone before. It was almost as if fate was willing the pair to be
together, even when the world would look at them with disgust and
shame. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he deepened the
kiss. Buffy forgot everything else around her. She didn't care that
her body was freezing. The confusion from the things the First
Slayer where gone. Everything felt complete and right as she sat in
his lap, kissing him back. The kissing ended as abruptly as it had
begun.

"Why did
you..."

"Not here,
Love. Not like this."

"Then where,
and how?"

"My
apartment...the way it ought to be done."

Buffy knew what he
was talking about. He wanted to take her home with him. Yes, she
wanted to spend the night in his arms, but she had thought they
would stay out in the desert. But, now that she thought about it,
staying out in the desert didn't seem as promising as a nice warm
bed. He moved a piece of hair from her eyes, his eyes shinning with
more love than she had ever seen from anyone. At least when it was
directed to her. She kissed his forehead, and sighed, hugging him.
She squealed when she felt herself being picked up and carried over
to the passenger seat of Giles' little red car. He let her down and
she grinned up at him as he walked over and hopped into the
driver's side. As he started the car, she leaned her head up
against his shoulder and sighed. Tonight is going to change
things, she thought to herself as the car drove off back
towards Sunnydale.

It didn't take
long for them to find their way back to his apartment. Buffy stood
in the living room of the small apartment, looking around. She had
been in the apartment many times in the past, but she had never
stayed more than a couple of hours. The notion of being able to
spend the night in his arms was something she knew she wanted. But,
she was still nervous as ever. She felt like she was back in high
school in Angel's apartment. Things where completely different from
then, but the feeling remained the same. Giles stood in the kitchen
with his back turned to her. He was fixing the both of them a late
dinner. The clock on the wall read about 10:30. but Buffy hadn't
eaten a thing all day and her stomach had been growling since they
had gotten back into town. He finished cooking and turned to see
her standing in the living room.

"Buffy?"

"Hmm?"

"You can sit
down, sweetheart."

She nodded and
forced a small before sitting down on the couch behind her, taking
off her jacket and laying it beside her. Giles' jacket and shoes
had been discarded at the door minutes before. He could feel her
nervousness all the way from where he was standing. She had seemed
so sure about things before, and now that she was actually in his
apartment, things had changed. He had kind of expected for it to
happen, but he pushed the thoughts away and walked into the living
room handing her a bowl of soup. She smiled and looked back down at
her food, before putting it down on the coffee table in front of
her. She turned to face him, and he placed his bowl on the table
beside hers before speaking.

"Something
wrong?"

"No...I'm
just...nervous."

He nodded. The
truth was that he was pretty nervous too. He was going to try his
best not to show her that thought. Buffy was a strong woman in many
ways, but sometimes she was meek and shy. And at those times she
usually needed someone who was strong to help her bring her true
self back out into the open.

"Love, there
is nothing to be nervous about...I won't do anything you don't
want..."

She looked up at
him as he spoke, her eyes realizing that he had seen right through
her worries as always. Giles somehow always knew what she was
thinking, even when she didn't know it herself. She sighed and
nodded, but her face still looked troubled. Maybe this was all
going to fast for them. If something did happen between them, he
didn't want her to regret it the next day. It would hurt him more
than he could bare to admit. He reached a hand out to her, playing
in her hair. She looked up and tried to smile.

"I don't know
Giles. I mean. I want this, I really do. I'm just afraid it would
change...everything."

"It will
change everything, Buffy. Intimacy between two people usually does
change things."

"What if
it...makes things bad between us..."

"Buffy..."

Her eyes looked
down. That was what had been bothering her. The spirit guide had
said to risk the pain, but what if that meant to give in to love
and lose him all at the same time? She had just found his love, and
she didn't want to lose it if things didn't go as planned between
them. A tear slipped down her cheek, and she wiped it away. He
placed a hand on her face, forcing her to look up at him.

"Sweetheart,
nothing would change how I feel about you. You're my everything,
Buffy. You have been since you walked into my life five years ago.
And I will sound like a broken record when I say this, but I am not
going to leave you. Please stop crying now..."

She was touched by
every word that came from his lips. Buffy made her decision, and
nodded at him. She would do just as the Spirit Guide had told her.
Don't reject the love. Risk the pain. She leaned up and her lips
touched his, realizing she had to allow him to love her. He kissed
her in return, pulling her body as close to him as he could as he
did. Her arms found there way back around his neck, her body
arching against him to get as close as she could. He knew she was
as close as she could be, yet he wanted her closer. There was only
one thing standing in their way, and it was the clothing covering
both of their bodies. He broke the kiss, his breathing shallow and
rough as the both regained themselves.

"Giles?"

"Buffy,
eat...And then we will finish what we started..."

She wanted to
protest, but her stomach was having other plans. They both ate in
silence, not sure of what was to come once the where finished.
Buffy placed her bowl on the table about two minutes before Giles,
turning to him and smiling. He knew she was hungry, which was one
of the reasons why he stopped himself from ripping her clothes off.
When he had finished, he stood up and picked her bowl up and headed
back to the kitchen. Buffy watched him, the butterflies in her
stomach building with each passing second. After he placed the
bowls in the sink, he walked back into the living room, standing a
few feet away from the couch. She stood up, trying not to show him
how nervous she felt. She reached for his hand, which he let her
take. He looked up the stairs he was standing beside, knowing that
his bedroom was up there. He let his eyes wonder back to her,
placing his free hand on her cheek.

"Are you
ready?"

She nodded, and
turned to walk up the stairs with him trailing close behind her.
They reached his bed room and she stopped, turning around as she
heard him closing the door behind them. It was just the two of them
now. No little sister down the hall. No one could keep them from
being together, and it was the most freeing feeling in the world.
Buffy sat down on the bed beside her, pulling her boots off her
feet as she did so and letting them fall to the floor. He joined
her a few seconds later. They stared at each other for a few
minutes as he reached over to pull her hair loose from the ponytail
it had been in. Her hair feel in waves down her shoulders, and he
couldn't help but smile at her. She inched closer to him, her hand
moving down his chest to the edge of his shirt. He stopped her,
pulling her beside him and letting their lips meet. She figured he
wanted to undress her first, so she let go of his shirt and kissed
him back, letting her tongue slip between his lips. His hands
wandered to the hem of her shirt as they kissed, pulling it up
slightly to feel the skin beneath.

She was soft, and
his fingers trailed up her back, rubbing it as he pushed her closer
to him. He could feel his body's temperature rising at the mere
touch of her bare skin. He pulled away from her lips to removed the
shirt. He threw it onto the ground, let his eyes wonder over what
was underneath. He had seen it the night before, but in the dark of
his bedroom she looked different. She looked like an angel...and he
felt lucky to even be allowed to be in her presence. His hands
traveled their way up to the clasp of her bra, removing the
contraption that was keeping his eyes away from her breasts.

The piece of
clothing fell to the floor just like before, as his eyes wondered
over her body once again, adding one of his favorite parts of a
woman's body – the breasts. She wasn't nervous as his mouth
moved to her collar bone. Her scent was intoxicating to him, and he
couldn't help himself. She had seen the hunger in his eyes. He
liked what he saw, and that gave her a reason to relax. She laid
back against the sheets of the bed, pulling him down on top of her.
She arched her back, letting a small moan escape from her lips as
his lips traveled over her torso, massaging every part of her. She
felt like her whole body was on fire as his lips trailed down to
her stomach, inches away from her pants. It was pure bliss to feel
his lips on her skin, and she never wanted it to end. Though he
stopped when he reached the top of her pants, looking up at her. He
made his way back to her lips, kissing her with more fire than she
had ever felt from him. The kiss broke and their eyes met once
again.

His shirt was the
next to go, and she let her eyes wonder over his torso just as he
done her. His chest was mostly covered in hair, something she had
never really had in a lover. But he was lean, and slightly muscular
which surprised her. She let her eyes move back to his face as
their lips met. She trailed her kisses down his torso as well,
tasting every inch of it. She felt his skin against hers, and the
passion between them reached another level of feeling. Nothing had
felt more incredible in all her life. The level of intimacy was
close to exploding, and they had just started. When she was done,
and her lips had moved back to his, his hands moved to her pants
unbuttoning them and pulling them down around her knees. She kicked
them the rest of the way off. His pants where the next to go, and
eventually their underwear had joined all their other clothing on
the floor. Nothing stood between them now. Both of them laid naked
against each other, their bodies the only thing keeping them warm
in the drafty room.

Giles looked down
at her, his hands playing in her hair. He wanted her more than
anything in the world. He had hoped he had proved to her how much
she meant to him. She kissed his cheek, and led a trail of kisses
and bites down his neck. They both would have love-bites covering
most of their bodies in the morning, but neither cared. She moved
for his neck to look up at his eyes once again, sharing the hunger
she had for him in equal measures. His hands moved to her hips,
shifting her parallel beneath him. She was tiny, and his body
covered her easily. He leaned down, and whispered softly into her
ear.

"Ready,
Love?"

She nodded, and
smiled at him, her hands moved to his short, graying hair. This was
the moment they would both remember. In a matter of moments it had
happened, and both their bodies had been intertwined. The few
moments they made love to each other was something of miracles that
she never wanted to forget. Their bodies moved together, matching
each other with every second that passed. The climax of their
passions only took a few moments to happen, but it filled her body
with bliss and happiness. When they had finished, they laid against
each other, their breathing shallow and ragged with their bodies
covered in moist sweat. Buffy had never felt the connection she had
felt with him during their passions before. It was new and
exciting, and something she hoped would never end. Even Angel had
not been able to make her feel the way Giles had. She kissed him,
putting all her feelings into that one kiss. It was just a soft
peck on the lips but one of the most intimate kisses he had
received from her. When she pulled away, she cuddled into his
chest, his arms wrapping around her. He leaned down and whispered
into her ear, making her body tremble at his words.

"I love you,
Buffy Summers."

"I love you
too, Rupert Giles."

She was in heaven
as his voice rang in her ears. Everything and nothing had changed
all at once between them. The pair made love two more times that
night, and fell asleep under his covers at about two a.m. from pure
exhaustion.

Buffy was the
first to awake when the morning light hit her eyes. She groaned as
her eyes opened, moving a hand to her face. She rolled over from
her position and cuddled into Giles, keeping her eyes away from the
evil sun that had disturbed her beauty sleep. Her movement also
awoke Giles, and he chuckled to find her huddled into his chest.
His hand played with a few strands of her long blonde hair.

"What's
wrong, Love?"

"Too early
for sun in my eyes..."

"Maybe we
should have gone to bed earlier...but someone had other ideas.."

She shoved him
after he had spoken, cutting him off. He chuckled and leaned down,
kissing her. Buffy melted into the kiss, her body pressing against
his. He pulled away and she grinned, enjoying every second the two
spent in each others arms. She finally spoke, a small smirk forming
on her face.

"And you know
you wanted it too..."

"Of
course...only an idiot would deny you."

She blushed at his
words, feeling his lips meet hers once again. Heaven couldn't be
more closer than the feeling they felt about each other. The kiss
ended a few seconds later and she sighed, before speaking to him
once again. She had to tell him what was on her mind. He had to
know what she was feeling at that very moment.

"Giles, I
have to tell you something..."

"Hmm?"

"Last
night...was the most amazing night of my life. The connection
between us...i-it was like nothing I had ever felt before...deeper
than any love that I've ever known. I never want that to end..."

"Neither do
I, Love."

"Did you feel
it too?"

"Of course I
did...Buffy, I have felt it from the day we confessed our love to
each other. It just became deeper last night."

He smiled down at
her with every word he spoke. He loved her. God knew he loved her
more than anyone else he had ever loved. He didn't know what was
different about her that had his heart locked away in a cage that
even he couldn't take away from her. She nodded and smiled, before
sitting up and sliding out of the bed to her clothes on the floor.
She hadn't realized what a mess they had made with each other's
clothes the night before. He slid over to the edge of the bed,
grabbing her hand. She turned around and looked back at him.

"Are you
leaving?"

"Yeah...Dawn
and the others will begin to wonder what is going on if I don't go
home."

He released her
hand and let her gather her clothing together and get dressed. He
got out of the bed and put his clothes back on as well, cursing to
himself for forgetting that they had to go back to her house. He
had completely forgotten about the others in their time together.
He sat down on the bed when he was finished, watching her mess with
her hair in the bedroom mirror. He walked over to her, wrapping his
arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek as he spoke, hoping she
would believe the words that oozed from his lips.

"You look
fine, Love..."

She turned around,
facing him as she moved her hands from her hair. She placed a hand
on his face, stroking it softly. Giles kissed her forehead and
pulled away, before walking off towards the door.

"We should
probably leave now.."

She nodded and
followed him down the steps, grabbing her coat when she reached the
bottom of the stairs. She met him at the door, feeling his hand
move to her back as they walked out the door on their way back to
the house. Buffy didn't know what she was going to tell everyone.
Would she tell them that she spent the night with Giles? Would she
tell them they...had had sex? She had no idea what was going to
happen once she got home, but she knew she couldn't lie to Willow.
She could to Dawn, but not to Willow. They reached Giles' car a few
moments later, and got in. Everything had changed for Buffy and
Giles, but it was for the better in more ways than one.
