[Night. Late. One tired Slayer. Asleep. Waking? Bad idea.]

*Ring ring*

[Phones are notoriously inconsiderate.]

"What?"

"Did I wake you?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry."

[And he is. It's sweet. She's too tired to care.]

"Stupid vampire."

"I love you."

"I love you too. What do you want?"

[She's awake now. Still not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I'll get back to you.]

"I just- I wanted to talk to you."

[Psst. Big fight. Lots of blood. One very scared vampire. She loves it when he worries. He just loves her.]

"I'm fine."

"I know, but- I just, I don't like not being there."

"I know."

[It's a good thing.]

"I'll let you get back to sleep. I know you have that meeting with Snyder in the morning."

"You just call to cheer me up, don't you?"

"You know, your sarcasm isn't really appreciated."

[It is. But she doesn't need to know that.]

"I love you."

[She giggles as she says it. He's not in a laughing mood.]

"I love you."

[Oh good, she noticed he's serious. I was worried for a mintue.]

"I love you too."

"I love you three."

"I love you seven."

[What?]

"What?"

[For once we're in agreement.]

"I love you seven."

"You don't love me four?"

"I can't."

"What? Why not?"

"Because you can't love me more."

"Buffy.."

"So I love you seven."

"Can I love you eight?"

"No."

"I guess that'll have to do, then."

"I win."

"I love you."

"I love you seven."

"Go back to sleep, Buffy."

"Alright, alright."

[She's asleep before the phone hits the cradle. She doesn't feel the light kiss to her forehead. Funny how such a modern girl can forget about cell phones.]

"I love you more."

[Awwww.]
