Rating: Same as the TV show
Spoilers: Set right after third season episode "Amends." Spoilers for that episode, nothing else after that has happened.
Concept: Just what were Buffy and Angel talking about during their walk through the snowy streets of Sunnydale? And what happened after that walk?
Author's Notes: This is another fluff piece, showing yet another way of how B&A could have gotten together. Remember "Sleepless" and "The Beach"? How they both take place after events of a third season episode and end with B&A together? Well, I guess this is kinda a series in a way. I'm gonna take as many third season eps as I can and rewrite the endings so that B&A are together. Oh, and if anyone has ideas for other episodes I could use, just let me know.

Hand in hand, the lovers walked through the street of Sunnydale. At first they didn't speak, they just enjoyed being together and walking in the snow, something Buffy had only seen once or twice before.

Suddenly, Angel had a small desire to revert to his childhood. Grinning, he let go of her hand and walked hurriedly towards the sidewalk, bending down to scoop up a handful of snow.

"Angel, what..." Buffy was suddenly cut off as a snowball whacked into her shoulder, knocking her back a step. She looked over at Angel, who was watching her carefully for a reaction. He looked like a little kid.

"Oh, you wanna play?" The Slayer grinned devilishly and knelt down to pick up a handful of snow. She packed it tightly into a ball and tossed it in Angel's direction.

Thrown even without her full Slayer strength, it hit him hard in the chest. He retaliated.

They spent several moments making and tossing snowballs at each other, each one hitting with perfect accuracy. Buffy giggled when she hit Angel and shrieked when she was hit. Angel just laughed, his normally wry chuckle having suddenly grown to an all out laugh.

Buffy suddenly changed tactics, no longer making snowballs. Instead, she was making it her goal to avoid letting Angel hit her with one. His next several snowballs still hit as she tried to dodge them, but she finally managed to avoid one, then two, as they flew towards her chest.

"Missed me, missed me, now you gott...." Buffy started to chant without even thinking about it, then realized what she was saying and stopped.

"Now I got what?" Angel asked in confusion, stopping mid-throw.

"Ummm.....nothing. Sorry. Just an old kiddie thing...."

"Buffy, what is it?"

"Nothing. Look, forget I said anyth..." She said in embarrassment. She trailed off as Angel hit her with yet another snowball, this one squarely in the face.

"Oops, sorry." Angel said. "I didn't mean to...."

This time it was his turn to trail off as Buffy hit him in the face with a snowball.

While he was still clearing the snow from his eyes, he felt a figure abruptly tackle him, throwing him to the ground. He reacted instantly and rolled over, pinning the figure to the ground. Then he heard a grunt from under him and realized it was Buffy that had jumped him.

At the same time as he realized it, Buffy gathered her strength and pushed him off of her. He rolled to the side and she was immediately on him again, taking a handful of snow and shoving it down his shirt.

"Oooo, okay....cold!" He said, all the while laughing. "I'm gonna get you for that one."

She grinned as she took off running. He paused to grab a handful of snow, then took off after her.

She wasn't trying all that hard to get away, and he caught up with her rather quickly. He used one arm to snag her around the waist, the other one dropped the snow down the back of her top.

"Cold. Cooold." Buffy jumped, wiggling against him as she tried to get the snow out. But she was laughing at the same time. It felt so great to just be a kid again, not having to worry about anything or anybody else. And being with Angel was certainly a plus.

Angel groaned deep in his throat as she wiggled in his arms, her back and hips rubbing against him. She suddenly seemed to realize what she was doing, as well as the awkward position they were in, and went very still.

His arms still held her, it was like he couldn't make them let go. She slowly turned in the circle of his arms until she was facing him. She put her hands against his chest. She looked up, their faces inches apart.

"Angel..." She whispered. She was silenced as he bent down to kiss her. He kissed her softly at first, but it soon turned into much more.

Buffy pulled away, breathless, a moment later.

"I love you so much." Angel whispered to her then, echoing words she had spoken to him as she tried to keep him from killing himself.

"I really do." Buffy responded, letting him know that she hadn't just been saying that to keep him from walking into the sunrise.

"Did you mean the other thing you said?" He asked, unable to look in her eyes.

"What thing?"

"That we could do it together?" He quoted her.

"Fight together?" She asked. "Of course I meant it Angel. I know how hard....okay I don't know, but still....I wanna help you, be there for you. I'll do anything. If you want me to." She said the last in a small voice, as if she was afraid he didn't.

"Want you?" He asked. "God, Buffy, you know I do. I wish you could be there every step of the way, it gives me such strength just knowing you're there backing me up. I just didn't think you'd want to after all I...."

"Hush." She whispered. "You didn't do anything. Angelus did. And he's not here now, you are. And you always will be."

"Only if we don't...."

"I know. And you know what? I don't care."

He looked at her skeptically.

"Really, I don't. Angel....making love with you....it was so incredible. It meant more to me than anything ever has." She blushed. "But even if we can never do it again, it doesn't change how I feel about you. And there was so much more to our relationship, it's not like that's all we had. We had so, so much more that made me happy. I could never love anyone but you, and I'd never sleep with anyone I don't love."

He looked at her in wonder of how accepting she was.

"So either way, I'm never gonna sleep with anyone again. At least this way I get to spend every moment with the one I love, even if we can't..." She finished.

She didn't even get to finish her sentence as he swept her up into a passionate kiss.

"Wow. What was that for?" She asked several minutes later.

"For being you. For being the wonderful, forgiving, loving person that you are." Angel answered her, making her blush again.

"So, you really think we can make this work?" She asked quietly.

"I think that together, we can do anything."

"Cool." She said.

"And you know a good way to start out?"

"What?"

"Tell me what you were gonna say. Why did it embarrass you?" Angel asked.

"Huh?"

"Missed me, missed me, now you got..." He quoted her again. "What's the rest of it?"

"Now you gotta kiss me." She said breathlessly.

He complied.

"I love you." He whispered when he released her a few minutes later.

"I love you. Forever." She said back.

"Forever." He agreed, kissing her again. "This is the perfect way to spend it."

So, is this a neat idea for my fluffs? or shouldn't I do any more?
