Ain't no sunshine when she's gone [It ain't warm when she's away]

[Rp for stillacrime This is involved in the Sam's Army storyline. The phone call happens ICly Wednesday night.]

Buffy kicked Angel out of the room, sent him patrolling then she changed into her pajamas, pulled her hair up into a ponytail and sat against the headboard of the bed. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. She had already talked to Danny like six times that day but she hadn't really been able to talk to him for long. He'd been at work and she'd been either in layovers, running to a plane or trying to arrange her motel room. Now she had Angel out of the room and she could talk. Not that she wouldn't have talked with Angel in the room. She just would have thrown things at him every time he made an expression. He knew better than to talk. Things had been awkward with Angel at first but they'd kind of ironed things out and Angel had asked if she was happy and when she'd said yes, he'd accepted it. There was still that tension between her and Angel but that tension was always always going to be there. It was too much a part of Buffy and Angel to go away.

Buffy hated this whole being away from Danny thing. Once she got through this whole battle thing, she swore even if the world did decide to end, she was not leaving New York City for a nice long while. It could decide to end in NYC or one of the other slayers could take care of it. Of course this was a little bigger than one slayer. In fact she was a little bit worried about this battle. Not only was she going to end up killing possessed humans, but they could do nasty, nasty things to her. Angel had instructions to actually go to New York and talk to Danny if anything happened to her. Of course he had to tell everyone else, but everyone else would understand. They knew the deal. Danny would be taken completely by surprise and she hated that. So she was kinda hoping not to die or end up in a week long coma this time. It would be nice.

After staring at Danny's number for five minutes, Buffy finally pushed call. She listened to it ring and when he finally picked up, a real smile curved her lips.

"Hey, Boyfriend."

"Well sometimes I try...like when I want Chinese for dinner instead of pizza. I'm pretty sure I could just ask though. It's more fun to pout," Buffy rambled. "Mostly because you think it's cute."

"See? Since I'd give it to you anyway it's not manipulation." Danny reasoned.

"I've gotta say, I like your train of thought here, Messer," Buffy smiled. "So what are you doing right now. I'm gonna guess sitting on the balcony on the concrete instead of in the big chair and smoking probably wearing a wife beater and a pair of sweats."

[stillacrime.livejournal.com]

"What can I say, I'm predictable." He quipped. She was spot on, after all.

"I think I just know you that well," Buffy told him with a smile. She reached out, snagging her water bottle with the tips of her fingers and leaning up enough that she could take a sip of it before recapping it and tossing it on the bed with her. "I like the idea of knowing you that well."

He grinned. "Can you picture me in your mind? Sittin' on the balcony smokin'?"

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

"That is exactly what I'm doing. It's a good image," Buffy grinned. "So are you picturing me in bed with my feet on the headboard?"

[stillacrime.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Got on some cute PJ's?" Danny asked, his grin growing over his lips.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

"Yup. I've got on the wife beater you were wearing last night and the pants with the sushi all over them," Buffy told him with a grin. "I fail epically at being a Victoria's Secret model tonight."

[stillacrime.livejournal.com]

"Still pretty damn cute." Danny countered. "I like you wearin' my clothes."

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

"I nabbed some of them to bring with me," Buffy admitted. "I'll be flying home in one of your button downs and I sort of stole your pen stripped suit jacket."

"I bet it looks hot on you. Should let me see you wearin' that sometime. Actually I got a few of those. You can pick one and wear it sometime... just it." He teased.

"I think this is sounding like a plan," Buffy laughed. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. "Maybe when I get over the Velcro Buffyness. Like a day or two."

"I could dress you so I'll be right there... even be there when I undress you." He couldnt help himself.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I like the idea of you dressing and undressing me. I'm like a Barbie but so much more fun," Buffy quipped, a grin sneaking across her face.

[stillacrime.livejournal.com]

"Hotter than barbie. What is it Matel? Matel missed out."

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

"Oooo having my own barbie could be fun though. You could play with her while I was gone," Buffy quipped. She slapped her hand over her mouth for a minute then moved it. "I did not just say that...did I?"
