High School Fun: Self-Defence
by michebabyblue
Chapter 5 – Self Defence.

The following Tuesday, it was self-defence in gym. It was everyone’s most favourite subject, because the entire scooby gang (minus the ones at college) had it at the same time.

“Geez Buffy you seem extra happy to be going to a class today”
“Well I just can’t wait to show Angel my moves.” Buffy could hardly stand still long enough to change.

“Wait, Angel doesn’t know you do self defence does he” Anya was smiling at the thought of Buffy fighting Angel.

“Nope, but after today he will”

As soon as Buffy was out of the door, all the girls started to place bets with Cordelia being the bookie.
“Oh this is gonna be good”

In the gym, the class was on the floor, in front of them were padded mats and the teacher explaining the day’s lesson. When he asked for volunteers, Buffy immediately nominated herself and Angel.

Angel glanced sideways at his girlfriend, he couldn’t figure out why Buffy was extra hyped about this lesson, in fact he was hoping it didn’t bring back bad memories of the night she was attacked.

He slowly got up and followed her to the mats, but turned around when he heard laughter from the gang. Looking back he saw the boys placing bets with Xander. Shaking his head Angel carried on stopping by Buffy’s side.
The teacher instructed Buffy to face away from Angel. So he could attack from behind, the point of this was to show how someone might react when being attacked.

Buffy knew Angel was hesitant to attack her so she decided to give him a push.
“Come on, I promise I won’t hurt you” She smiled at the expression on his face before quickly facing the other way again.

Angel finally gave in and went for Buffy; he had just placed his arm around her, when he found himself facing the ceiling. He heard the audience clapping and cheering Buffy who was laughing and shaking her hands in the air for her victory. Angel smiled before sweeping her legs from under her.

“Black belt, you?”
“Same wanna see what I got”

They both flipped up in fighting positions getting oooo’s and aaaaahh’s from the audience. Not even waiting to see if the teacher approved or not, they began. Teacher and Students alike watched in awe as Buffy and Angel played out their dangerous ballet.

It seemed like they were perfectly matched before Buffy found a weakness in Angels attack, feigning tiredness, she went on the defence and let Angel attack her. Just as he thought he was going to win, Angel found himself on his back, staring into Buffy’s eyes as her body pinned him to the floor.

“That’s a good position for ya Buff” Angel whispered
“You think so too huh.” Buffy and Angel moved their heads closer together and were just about to kiss when they heard the teacher clear his throat. Blushing fiercely from the whistles and shouts from her fellow students Buffy quickly got off Angel and helped him up.

They were shocked to find that Fred had won the bet, but had no time to enjoy the expressions on the others faces, as the teacher told them to get changed.

When Buffy exited the changing rooms she found Angel waiting for her.
“Hey, I didn’t hurt you did I”
Angel couldn’t help but smile at her concern.
“Only my pride, but I’ll live.”
“Good, that’s good, um Faith has my keys so umm . . . could you give me a lift”

Angel wrapped his arms around his waist and looked down at her.
“Can’t see why not, Conner is going around yours and my parents won’t be home till late, so why don’t you come back to my place. We could swim in the pool if you want”
Buffy smiled up at him, the day they went to beach, Buffy shocked everyone including her self by going for a swim. When she was asked about it later, she just commented that it was way to hot, and it was time to face her fears. Ever since then she swam in Angel’s pool at least once a week.

“But I don’t have my togs on me”
“So just go in your underwear I won’t be complaining”
“Kay I’ll go to your house but no promises about the pool.” However Buffy knew that if Angel asked her to go swimming while they were there, then she couldn’t say no.

“Fine by me, there’s plenty that we could do” he sent her a suggestive glance.
“Yeah I could kick your but again” she retorted with a smirk, but before Angel could reply, Buffy leant up and gave him a passionate kiss.

Angel couldn’t remember a time when he had been so happy. He ran his hands through Buffy’s silky hair deepening their kiss. When they finally pulled back Angel asked,
“So when you disappear each day, is it to go to self-defence.”

She looked up at him and gave him a soft smile as she caressed his cheek.
“No it’s not.” Buffy didn’t continue but snuggled deeper into Angel’s chest.

“Well is it to see another guy then” this wasn’t the first time Angel had, had this thought.
Buffy’s head whipped up and she pulled back a little, giving him a hurt look.
“How can you even ask me that” she turned away from him, hurt by his distrust.

She heard Angel sigh and felt his arms wrap around her waist.
“I’m sorry baby, I just don’t like the fact that there is apart of your life I don’t know about” he squeezed her slightly.
Buffy felt a little guilty and she knew what she had to do.

“I’m sorry too” she hesitated, but deep down she knew that of Angel liked her as much as she thought he did, then it was time he knew.
“When we come back after Christmas, then I’ll show you.”
Angel knew this was another aspect of her life; she hadn’t shared with anyone else.

“Speaking of Christmas, what would you like?”
Buffy turned fully around and flashed him a full smile that lit up her face.
“Surprise me, what do you want.”
“Same, surprise me” he leaned down for a kiss, which Buffy gladly gave.

“You know what” she whispered.
“What” Angel gently brushed back a few strands of hair away from her eyes?
“I feel like a swim”
Angel laughed and picked her up, twirling her around.

“Put me down now, or I’ll reconsider that swim” she laughed as she was immediately placed on the ground.
“Come on lets get outta here.”
They left the now deserted school hand in hand.
