Frankly... I'd rather not think about it. [ she gets mad at him enough when he has already done whatever she's mad about. he certainly doesn't want her mad at him for something he hasn't even done yet. which is why, if he'd realized at first that she wasn't almost-18-year-old Buffy that he was expecting, he wouldn't have mentioned that he lived in LA now, or that they'd broken up. he's never stopped wanting her though, and being here with her, it feels like their 'real' lives have been put on pause. they may not be able to be together the way either of them wants, but they could navigate something, here. no higher calling, no visions of people in distress or demons to fight (no nosy friends constantly telling her what a bad decision she's making). ]
Probably. [ he sounds just as reluctant for her to go, as she does to leave. he remembers not too long before her birthday, a scenario very much like this one, except with more kissing. Buffy needing to leave, him agreeing, neither of them wanting her to go. ]
What apartment are you in? [ he suddenly asks, remembering she mentioned something about being familiar with the Up apartments. It's a random question, but it's something to get her to stay, at least a few minutes longer. ]
