Oz and Willow had left Joyce's home in order to go to Willow's for a few Wiccan supplies. Willow had figured they would need all the help they could get. They had told Joyce to stay inside and not to invite anyone in. No mater what. And now they were getting back in the van that sat parked in front of Willow's house. "So you got everything?" Oz asked looking at the supplies they had gathered.
Willow examined everything, "Just about. Though there are a few things I don't have that we might need. You feel like stopping by the magic shop?" she asked, as she watched him shut the side van door and open hers, for her. She climbed in and he went around the front of the van and got in the other side.
"Not a problem." Oz remarked as he placed the keys in the ignition and started the van. He pulled away from the curb and looked over at Willow. "We'll figure this out," he pledged to her. He could tell she was deep in thought and just assumed it was about the whole situation with Faith and Xander.
"Oh I know. It's not that," Willow said straightaway. In truth she was thinking about what had happened between her and Oz before graduation. And the lack of them being close since. He had kissed her forehead to comfort her after the hospital while they were at Giles' but that was all. Nothing. She had started to think that maybe he thought it was a mistake. Or maybe he just wasn't attracted to her.
Oz looked over at her as he drove down the street heading in the direction of the magic shop. "Then what's bothering you Will?" he asked as he continued to drive.
Willow took a deep breath. Then she just said it. "Do you not find me attractive?" she asked worried that his reply would be yes. She really didn't want to lose him and after the time they had spent together she had come to realize just how much she really loved him.
Oz was thrown off a bit by this question. "What?" she asked shocked that she could even think that. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Just being around her made him feel more complete and alive then anything else in his life.
Willow wished she could take back the question, "Nothing, Never mind." She wasn't even sure she wanted to hear the answer. She wasn't sure if she could take hearing him tell her that he didn't find her attractive and that it had all been a mistake and he didn't love her that way after all. But she had to know, "Well do you?" she asked again.
Oz pulled the van to a stop at a stop sign and looked over at her giving her his attention. "Of course I find you attractive." He placed one of his hands on her check delicately. "I love you Willow." He smiled as he said those words to her. And he meant them with all his heart.
Willow smiled but still felt confused, "Well then how come since well in the van before graduation, you haven't kissed me?" she asked sounding hurt and bewildered. There were so many things running through her mind.
Oz smiled. And kissed her lips affectionately. "I'm sorry. I just thought you might want some time. I didn't want to be that guy that makes everything about sex. We're more then that," he explained to her his voice loving and soft. He ran his hand through her hair as he added, "I never meant to make you feel like I didn't want you."
Willow smiled, she felt so happy at that moment. But there were things the y had to do. Though she did wish she could just stay there like that the rest of the night. "Oz.. I love you too. And I know we're more then that. But it's ok to kiss me. Actually I kind of miss it. And it really helps. Especially when things get Hellmouthy."
