Spoilers: MAJOR SPOILERS for Forever
Note: I'm going on what I read from spoilers. Some of it may happen, some may not
Feedback: Oh please, I have about two or three other stories that I'm working on and I need to know if I'm going the right direction. Especially since I haven't written a fic in months.

My heart twisted in agony when her lips so delicately touch mine. This was one of those moments that you want to hold onto forever, for it to never disappear. In her time of need, I did the only thing I could to help soothe the ache and emptiness she felt inside.

We were leaned against a tree, talking about the death of her mother. It shook her hard to the core, but why wouldn't it? Her mother and her had their fights about her Slaying, but she still loved her mother deeply. I knew what she was going through. The agony of seeing a loved one die is the most painful experience for a person. But unlike her, I relived the memory of watching my family when my soul was returned. She found her mother dead, and I know it broke her because she couldn't save her.

Buffy risks her life night after night saving the ones she loves and people she doesn't even know from death. And because her mother died, she feels that it is her fault because she should have been there. There wasn't much I could do to change her mind, I just simply told her there was no way she could have known, and then I left the subject to rest. You don't push someone on a moment of death.

I told her I would stay as long as she needed me, and that's when she looked in my eyes and said, "How about forever?" That's what I lost it. I crushed her small body to mine with the burning love I hold inside for her, and I pressed my lips to hers. I couldn't control it. It just happened. She needs me, just as much as I need her.

But as all perfect moments, this one had to end. We parted, and she told me that I better go because we shouldn't be doing this. She was right, but I couldn't leave her right then. I had a few moments before sunrise, so I wrapped my arms around her and we leaned back against the tree in silence.

I'll never forget that night. Because it was a huge moment in her life, as well as mine. I'll always remember it as if it were yesterday. And when I wake up in the morning, I'll still taste her lips on mine, and it will remind me why I keep fighting. Because there's a woman out there that I love and because she has to look out for other people, she needs someone to look out for her.

And I'll be there until her death, and past, remembering her forever.
