“Hey, you!”

 

She sat down next to him, but he rose stiffly to leave. The tentative forgiveness granted before going into battle now a distant memory in the face of an uncertain future.

 

“Stay! … Please.”

 

He hesitantly sat back down and she took his hand in hers.

 

“I hate this distance between us.”

 

Confusion clouded his face when she laced their fingers together.

 

“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.”

 

His eyes met hers. “Oh, Buffy, me too.”

 

“I know we can’t go back.”

 

Squeezing her hand, his heart pounded in his chest. “No,” he agreed. “But… we could start anew.”

I choose to believe this is what happened after the end of the series. I hate the distance that's between them in season 8 (I know you don't read them or accept them as canon, but I just finished reading the omnibus volume 1, so it's fresh on my mind). Thanks for sharing!
