Plotless Riley-Killage

By Spitfire

Angel couldn't help but smile. The curse was no more, and his life with Buffy seemed to be reopened. Grabbing his coat, the vampire walked out of his office.

*****************************

Buffy plastered on a fake smile as Riley put his arm around her. The two had been walking in the park, but the Slayers' mind was eslewhere. She thought of Angel, how he held her, how his skin felt against hers... With Riley it just wasn't the same. The commando made her feel uneasy, like there was something not quite right.
Riley grinned and pointed out a few of the constellations that he knew. Buffy ignored him, wondering if Angel knew all of the stars in the heavens. He probably did, but she had never bothered to ask. Even a small thing such as that made her feel alone. She wanted Angel, her first love, to come back. Buffy could tell him anything, ask him anything, and he would understand.
'Oh great,' she thought, 'I'm doing the brooding thing. And I thought only Angel could brood...'
Pulling her over, past the side of the road and into a covering of trees, Riley made Buffy face him. "Buffy, there's something I need to talk to you about."
The Slayer looked up with dull interest, "Yeah?"
"Do you remember when Maggie Walsh gave me those pills? Do you remember what happened when I didn't take them?"
"Yeah, you went all nutso and icky," Buffy screwed up her nose.
Riley glared at her, "I'm glad you're so concered."
"Well, gee, you threaten me, you diss my lifestyle, my calling, and my friends, then you expect me to be all happy-Buffy! Guess what? I'm not! What you said, I have a feeling you meant it."
The commando turned red with fury, "Alright! So I was mad that you have demons as drinking partners! We hunt them! You hunt them! But you talk to them like normal people! They're monsters!"
Again Buffy's thoughts went to Angel. He wasn't a monster. And hearing what Riley said... She reached up and slapped the man in front of her.

*****************************

Angel watched the scene in front of him fold out from the safety of a tree. Buffy was yelling at a guy. Then the guy was flushed beyond red and yelling even louder. That's when Buffy slapped him and ran off.. Angels' first concern was for his love, so with out thinking, he ran after the enraged Slayer.

*****************************

Buffy ran as fast as she could, not even thinking about where she was going. When strong arms grabbed her from behind, she yelped. Thinking it was Riley, she turned around and delievered a hard punch to whoever had grabbed her. And that's when she saw Angel holding his bloody nose.
"Ow, ow, ow..." Angel looked up at her and tried to smile, "Well, not the greeting I was expecting... Accually, this is kinda how I pictured it, so I'm just gonna go now."
Before he could turn, he found himself restained by Buffys' hand on his shoulder.
"Don't go."
"...Alright. See me not leaving." He looked back at her and saw tears in her eyes, "Why are you crying, Beloved?"
"I'm happy. I was wishing you'd come back, and here you are. A little beat up, but here."
Angel sighed happily as she jumped into his arms.
"Well, what do I find but my girlfriend already jumping up to someone else. I come here, work up the will to appollogize for what I did that week, and you've already found someone else to sleep with. Is he gonna be like Parker? He gonna dump you tommorrow for another slut?"
Buffy became ridgid in Angels' arms when she heard Rileys' voice. Looking up, she saw that one side of the commandos' face was white where he'd been slapped. Angel growled softly, the vibrations echoing through his chest.
"Look, I don't know who the Hell you think you are even thinking of insulting Buffy, but you'd better say you're sorry," Angel took a threatening step forward.
Riley pulled out a small taser, "No, you'd better give her back to me."
"What the-?" Buffy didn't have time to finish before Angel threw her out of the way. She landed on the grass and looked up just in time to see the taser bolt hit on Angels' chest. He yelled out, then fell to the ground, unmoving.
Riley yanked her up by her wrist, "You're going to come with me."
"Let me go, Riley!"
Both of them stopped when an inhuman growl sounded through the tree covering. Riley was pulled away and flung into a tall oak. Buffy ran up and kissed Angel, letting all of her love show. Angel returned the kiss wholeheartedly, purring into her mouth.
Riley pulled himself up and looked over at the two. The man, no, vampire, was kissing Buffy. And she was letting him. He made a disgusted noise.
Angel looked up at the commando and snarled. Riley tried to run, but was tackled to the ground. Looking up, the last thing he saw was Angels' fangs.


THE END
