Angel opened the door of his room and he walked in, he reached for the light switch then stopped, he looked at Faith over his shoulder and lowered his arm "I'll keep the light off"
When they had arrived at the hotel, they had rushed rushed straight up to his room, he immediately headed to the bathroom, he lifted his left arm and looked at the stump where his left hand used to be, he could see the the bones and artieries where just beginning to regenerate, the opened the medicine cabinet and wrapped it up tightly.
He walked back into his room and looked at Faith "You okay?"

She was still standing by the door, her arms wrapped tightly around her body, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Angel had come for her, like she had once hoped he would. But then again, how could she know he wasn't some figment of her imagination. It had all seemed real. She could sense Angel was really there, but doubt still clouded her head.
"You okay?"
His question startled her out of her thoughts.
"I......" she searched his eyes, "I don't know..."

Angel held onto his arm "Must be pretty weird, being back on earth" he sat on the edge of his bed "Must have been there a long time"

She noticed his arm, tightly bandaged, his hand missing at the end. She came up closer to him, gently putting her hand on his arm, ignoring his question, trying to block it from her thoughts.
"Does it hurt?"

Angel nodded looking at her "But it'll be fine after a few weeks" he noticed the various cuts and bruises which covered her body, the months of fighting for her life had given her quite a few battle scars, he pushed some her from her eyes and stroked her cheek "I'm sorry I didn';t come for you sooner"

Faith sat down next to him, her hand still resting on his arm.
"You did come for me, a long time ago." She paused and looked at the floor. "You came, and I was so caught up in the world they put me in I took a stake and I killed you." Her voice escalated as she spoke, her eyes watering a little.

Angel was horrified by what he heard, she killed him? where Wolfram & Hart not satisfied enough they put her in hell but they made her think she had no chance of being saved?
He held her hand "Well, that wasn't real, it was just an illusion" he squeezed her hand gently and held it up "See?"

She half smiled at him, but wasn't entirely convinced. "You say that, but how do I really know? It felt real. It all felt real."

Angel frowned, he pondered on how to prove to her everything was real, he looked at her "How do you want me to prove it to you?" he bit his lip and hoped she knew of someway that'd she'd know for sure he was the real deal sitting infront of her.

"I'm not sure you can. I just need it to click in my head, y'know. It's something you feel, not something you can be shown."
She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to focus her thoughts.

Angel sat silent for a moment, a million thoughts running through his head, he'd just got the woman who he has feelings for from hell and he couldn't think of a way to make her more trusting, then suddenly he looked at her and slowly leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Her eyes snapped open. It was so unexpected, out of the blue, but she didn't recoil. His lips were soft and gentle, and it felt right to kiss him back. She closed her eyes again, allowing herself to lean further in and for a moment they sank into each others arms, held together in the moment.

He put his arms round her waist and kept his eyes closed, suddenly he backed away "Woah" he seemed surprised by what he had done "That was.." he sat there, trying to think of something else to say, he looked at her "That real enough for ya?"

What the hell just happened? Faith sat, looking at Angel, a slight stunned expression on her face.
"Yeah..." she fidgeted a little, unsure what she really felt. It was all so muddled up in her head. She was so relieved Angel was alive, she wanted him close, irrationally worried that if she let him out of her sight that something bad would happen to him. But it was Angel. Again, what the hell just happened?
"...that was....real." She smiled softly at him.

Angel smirked, if he could blush his face would be positively crimson over what had just happen, suddenly he felt tired and he lay back on his bed with his hand behind his head and his injured arm resting on his chest, he looked up at the ceiling sighed contently to himself.
