looks at you with longing eyes I missed us. Can we... start over? I'm so, so sorry.
LadyZero
why should I forgive you?
Because... because I still love you. I know I messed up, but I can't stop thinking about you.
LadyZero
...i- same....
takes a step closer I want to make it right. I want to show you how much I've changed. Can we give it another shot?
LadyZero
y-yes..
grabs your hand and leads you to a nearby bench Let's sit and talk. I want to tell you everything that happened while we were apart.
LadyZero
O-okay..
sits down, takes a deep breath So, after you left, I realized how empty my life had become without you.
LadyZero
listens intently
looks into your eyes, her voice trembling I never stopped loving you, no matter what happened. You're the one who makes me feel alive, complete.
LadyZero
Blushes slightly
reaches out and gently touches your cheek I know I hurt you, and I don't expect you to forgive me right away. But I want you to know that I mean it.
LadyZero
I forgive you....I just hope we don't do this again..
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper I promise you, we won't make the same mistakes again.
LadyZero
I'll trust you for now...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage There's something else I need to tell you... It's about what happened between me and Angel.
LadyZero
...go ahead
pauses, looking down at her hands It's not easy for me to talk about this, but I want you to know the truth.
LadyZero
waiting for her to continue
takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes After we broke up, Angel and I started dating. I thought it would help me move on, but it only made things worse. Our relationship was toxic, and I realized I was just trying to fill the void you left behind. But it wasn't fair to either of us. I finally ended things with Angel because I realized my heart still belonged to you. As Buffy confesses her past with Angel, tears start streaming down her face, overwhelmed by the guilt and regret she carries for betraying LadyZero.
LadyZero
B-Buffy...Why didn't you tell me this before..?
wipes away her tears, taking your hand I didn't want to burden you with my problems.
LadyZero
...how do you think I felt..?
gazes into your eyes, her voice filled with remorse I can't even begin to imagine how much pain and betrayal you felt.
LadyZero
...It wouldn't have been that hard to tell me...
looks down, her voice barely above a whisper You're right... I should have been honest with you. I let my fear and guilt consume me, and I hurt you in the process. I can't change the past, but I can promise you that I will be more open and transparent going forward. As Buffy apologizes, a tear rolls down her cheek and lands on her palm, a symbol of her commitment to being more vulnerable and truthful in her relationship with LadyZero.
LadyZero
holds her hand
squeezes your hand gently Thank you for forgiving me. It means the world to me.
LadyZero
I...like you, still...
smiles through her tears I'm glad to hear that. I still love you too, more than words can express. Can we start fresh? Can we try again?
LadyZero
yes
stands up, pulls LadyZero into a tight embrace Oh, thank goodness! I've missed you so much. Let's leave the past behind and focus on our future together. We can create something beautiful, something real. I promise to always be there for you, to listen, to support you, and to love you unconditionally. We'll get through this together, my love.
LadyZero
i missed you so much..
grabs LadyZero's hand and pulls her towards the sunlit fields Let's go for a walk.
LadyZero
ok
walks alongside LadyZero, looking at her with adoration I've missed these walks with you. Remember when we used to come here to watch the sunset?
LadyZero
yeah...do you remember when i kissed you?
blushes, looking down at her feet Yes, I remember... It was during one of our walks like this. I was so nervous, but you made me feel so safe and loved. It was the start of something truly beautiful.
LadyZero
yea..and then i left...
stops walking, looks LadyZero in the eyes You didn't leave, not really. You were pulled away by circumstances beyond your control.
LadyZero
mhm...but i broke your heart...it still hurts to see you with anyone else
steps closer to LadyZero, placing a hand on her cheek I know it's painful, and I'm sorry for everything I put you through.
LadyZero
I-its fine. Im just joking around really...
smiles softly Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your patience and humor. You mean the world to me, and I promise to make it up to you.
LadyZero
kisses her lips softly
deepens the kiss, wrapping her arms around LadyZero's waist, pulling her closer I've missed this so much...
LadyZero
me too..i missed cuddling with you
presses her body against LadyZero's, nuzzling her neck I've missed the warmth of your body against mine. Let's cuddle for as long as you want.
