Angel held Cordelia against him, tears long since subsided, the only evidence left were the wet places against his shirt.

“He’s gone.” She croaked, voice hoarse from crying.

“We’ve still got each other.”

“Oh yeah, cuddly Mr. Vampire No Bone.” She snorted.

He paused, unsure of what to say to her in her grief. He didn’t realize what was coming until it was too late. “I love you.”

Her eyes shot upwards. Her face was puffy and pink from crying but still beautiful in her pain. “What?”

“Like a friend,” He added quickly at seeing her expression. “Like a friend.”

------------------------------------

“You love me? I love you too, Cordy.” Angel momentarily forgetting he was in the middle of a fight, eyes on focused on Cordelia.

“I don’t…wait? What did you say?” Cordelia looked confused.

“I love you too.”

“How hard exactly did you hit your head during this fight?”

“I didn’t hit my head.” He closed the small distance between them, taking her into his arms. “I came through a portal to get you back, not knowing what was on the other side. I can’t ever lose you again.”

She smiled. “Are you going to kiss me or what, dumb ass?”

--------------------------------------

She picked a book up from his shelf, heaving it at him. “You slept with DARLA?”

He ducked. “Hey, that was a first edition of Great Expectations.”

“And we’ve got one hell of a great expectation downstairs.”

“I messed up. Please, I love you.”

“Damnit, why is it that you can say those three little words to me and I turn to girl goo? I am mad here, buster, real mad.”

“I can think of more creative ways you can take your anger out.” He gave her a little smile that only widened as she made her way to him.

------------------------------------

“I love you.”

Cordelia looked up from her spot on their bed, their son between them. “How could you not? I’m seer by day, demon slayer by night, super mom type figure all the hours in between. The perfect girlfriend.”

He moved to lay with them both. He reached out to tickle Connor’s stomach. She merely smiled at father and son, that special smile that reserved just for them.

If there were any doubts in Angel about the state of his soul, they were blown away by the light of Cordy’s smile. Here, now, this moment, he was perfectly happy.

------------------------------------

He moved in perfect time with her, a dance that he had done countless times before but one that he only knew true happiness in once. The only thoughts on his mind were of Cordelia, his Cordelia, face contorted in a masterpiece of pleasure. She was breathless, flushed with desire, her scent filling his every pore. He leaned down, never breaking that dance between them. He kissed the soft shell of her ear. He was ready to say the words he had said so many times to her before.

“I love you, Angel.” She said softly.

“I love you too.”

Dude, I am so teary-eyed, right now. OMFG *dies*

Thank you so much! This was so perfect. I'm usually not so fangirly, but you know how much I miss my C/A LOL

I loved how different they all were, and the different ways Angel said 'I love you'. The Cordy and Angel voices were perfect. OMG!!!

Thank you so much, chica!!!! *big angelbear hugs*

Anything for my girl. *hugs* I am just really glad that you liked it. I know I still owe you that other story and as soon as I figure out how the hell to end it, its all yours. Maybe I will get inspired some more when I do my ATS rewatch.

its been so long since I enjoyed some lovely Angel/Cordy fluff and yours is awesome as always

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much. That means a lot to me actually. You've got me all embarassed and blushing now.

How sweet these all are! I especially like the first one - what an Angel-like save at the end of it. Love the dialogue throughout.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) Blame Nikki. It was her bday and she wanted the fluff so I had to make it sweet. And what can I say? I love Angel when he is all stumbling and dorky. :)

*sigh* This was just perfect. Amazing!!

You are seriously stroking my ego here. LOL I am really glad you liked it though.

Awwww! <3

Can't think of a better comment right now, sorry -- I'm too busy swooning.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

That is the -perfect- comment, no worries about that. :)

Very sweet. I love the second one most because I can just see the gobsmacked look on Angel's face, and because I like the idea that he'd take full advantage of her admission, unlike the stuttering fool in the episode.

I never knew why he didn't to be honest. He went through a portal for her, not knowing what was on the other side, but he couldn't tell her that he loved her back? It would have been over right then if he did that. No Groo crap, no nothing.
