"Angel?" Buffy asked. "Hmm?" Angel asked, just about to drift off to sleep.

"Why?" Buffy asked again.

Angel opened his eyes. "You'll have to be a little more specific than that." He laughed.

Buffy smiled a little and snuggled up to Angel just a little closer. They were at his place, happily snuggling on his bed after an exhausting patrol.

"Why do you love me?" Buffy elaborated.

Angel chuckled. "Didn't we cover that subject on your birthday?"

Buffy shook her head. "You told me why you fell in love with me at first. You didn't tell me why you love me now. Besides, I like hearing you say you love me anyway."

Angel smiled with just a tinge of exasperation. Women and their insecurities. "Well, scientifically, they say love is pheromones. You can't really smell pheromones consciously, but you smell them anyway, and that makes you fall in love." Buffy hit his stomach lightly. "I'm serious." She said severely.

"It's... I love you because... you're you." Angel said simply. "From the three earrings on your left ear, to the way you wrinkle up your forehead when you're thinking hard, the way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you look at me... It's everything. There's no one reason why, Buffy. I love you, and everything about you. Everything." He said, pulling her closer as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Good answer." Buffy murmured.

"And your blonde hair with dark brown roots." He grinned.

"Would you believe me if I said I was born this way?" She asked solemnly.

"If you want me to, yeah." He answered immediately.

"Actually, I was lying."

He just laughed. "It doesn't matter. Your secret dies with me."

They just lay there together for a while, content to be in each other's arms. "Well, I told you why I love you. Now it's your turn to tell me why you love me." Angel said, his eyes twinkling.

Buffy smiled. "Cause you're my Angel." She said sleepily, giving him a light kiss.

"That's good enough." Angel said, shifting so she'd be more comfortable.

"Good night, Angel." She murmured, before drifting off into the land of dreams.

"Good night, love." Angel whispered back.
