It was a toss up as to who was dragging their ass more, the champion or the seer.<\/p>\n

Angel leaned heavily on Cordelia\u2019s door while she tried to get the key in the hole, succeeding on the third try. She stumbled ahead of him as Dennis turned on the overhead lights and the flood of light made her groan wearily.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Dennis. Just the lamp. My eyes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Her voice was a good indication of how tired and aching she was, croaking and cracking with dryness.<\/p>\n

Angel moved past her, dropping his broad axe on the floor, and collapsed onto her couch without shrugging out of his coat. She aimed her body next to his, and was greatly relieved that she managed not to plop into either his lap or the floor because she wasn\u2019t sure she had the energy to move if she had.<\/p>\n

Angel groaned when the couch gave under her weight and displaced his shoulder.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry.\u201d She said in a voice he had to strain to hear.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo problem.\u201d He replied, staring at a spot on the far wall next to the TV.<\/p>\n

Silence reined as Dennis floated a bottle of water over along with two aspirin.<\/p>\n

Cordelia whimpered gratefully, taking the pills and gulping back the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlowly, Cordy, or you\u2019ll get sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

She laughed painfully, her shoulder rubbing Angel\u2019s arm. He let his head fall to the side, resting his cheek against the top of her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould have said that before I swallowed the gallon of sewer scum.\u201d She whispered absently. He winced.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She moved her eyes, trying to look at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be. You saved my life. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a beat of silence in which she could hear him smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be so smug. It took you a good hour to fight off those vamps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a little off my game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia rolled her eyes, feeling exhaustion pull at her muscles and bones, coaxing her with the promise of dreams.<\/p>\n

Dennis turned the television on, setting it on one of his favorite movies.<\/p>\n

Daniel Day Lewis ran through the New World, searching for Cora.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s one of my favorites, too.\u201d Cordy mustered the words, the movement of her mouth and tongue feeling odd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is?\u201d Angel asked, his voice fading.<\/p>\n

She closed her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMmm, yeah. The cave scene\u2026how he promises to always find her, no matter what\u2026\u201d the world began to fall away, the feel of his head leaning on hers more solid than the couch beneath them. \u201cThe way they love each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silence carried her farther down, floating, floating\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d do it.\u201d He whispered, more than halfway unconscious. It took a couple seconds, but she roused herself enough to answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo what?\u201d Her eyes drooped shut, her aching head fading into an echo.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t answer until she was balanced on the edge of deep slumber, and about to fall over.<\/p>\n

\u201cFind you.\u201d He answered.<\/p>\n

Sleep took her down, the feel of his body next to hers more of a shelter than she\u2019d known since\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

Dennis dragged in a blanket and covered the sleeping detectives, closing the curtain tight against the coming sunrise.<\/p>\n

Cordelia and Angel slept on, skin to skin, dream to dream.<\/p>\n
