Challenge #2-"Teachings"_Buffy/Giles
Rating: I'm french so I don't know what those codes mean, but there's nothing sexual or violent in it.
Setting: During "End Of Days" after Buffy brought back the axe and before she went to the mausoleum.
Explanations: I always been really frustrated that after "Lies my parents told me" argument and "Empty Places" fight, Giles being a huge part of it, we never seen a make-up scene between them on screen, except the Chosen ref_GILES_If you want my opinion. BUFFY_Really do._nothing explicit, so I created a makin-up moment during End Of Days because it had to be after Touched and too many things happened in Chosen, End Of Days being pretty slow...
Thanks: Thanks Veverka for what you know
Buffy is sitting on the bench of her backyard, during the afternoon. Giles comes and joins Buffy.
BUFFY: Any lead on the axe?
GILES (sitting): Nothing conclusive.
BUFFY: Is that an English way to say no?
GILES (smiling):...
BUFFY:...
GILES:?Buffy...
BUFFY (harshly): Rupert!
GILES (trying diplomacy): I can understand your anger...
BUFFY (angry): My anger? My anger for what? Your attempt to kill Spike or the "Buffy sucks" intervention.
GILES: I never used that expression.
BUFFY: Whatever.
GILES: I find you a little unfair.
BUFFY: Me? Unfair?
GILES: We all expressed our fears...
BUFFY: Your fears? If someone should know about fear it's me, believe me, I've been through fear more times than I can count, God I even killed...well, stepped on...a Fear Demon. Believe me, back there, it wasn't about fear. Well, maybe fear for the others but not you. We've been through a lot together and I've never seen you afraid of anything...
GILES: Except the other night...
BUFFY: What were you so afraid of?
GILES: Losing you.
BUFFY (touched): ...
GILES (about to hold her hand):...
BUFFY (getting up) If what you're saying is true...
GILES: If?!
BUFFY: If what you're saying is true, do you really think organizing that mutiny would have solved the problem?
GILES:...
BUFFY: God, and what about killing Spike?
GILES: I still think it was the right think to do.
BUFFY: God, how can you say that?! He's the strongest warrior we have.
GILES: I know bu...
BUFFY: Have you seen all the episodes? Because this thing we have to fight, stepping on it won't be enough...well, won't even be possible in fact...
GILES: Spike was a danger to everyone.
BUFFY (sitting): You lied to me...Again!
GILES: He was a danger to you even, maybe still is, who knows-
BUFFY (whispering): I love him.
GILES: -knows what he could...Excuse me?
BUFFY: I love him.
GILES: Dear Lord!
BUFFY:...
GILES (cleaning his glasses):...Are you sure?
BUFFY: What kind of question is that?
GILES: I'm sorry.
BUFFY:...What I need is support.
GILES: I'm not positive that Spike is...
BUFFY: I wasn't talking about him...
GILES (touched):...Buffy.
BUFFY (about to cry): Do you think it's easy for me...Do you think it's easy to lead a bunch of helpless girls to their certain death and not be able to do anything to stop that? To... to protect my friends, like I wasn't able to protect my mom, being scared to death every second that I could lose my sister...I need all the family I have right now...and that includes you.
GILES:...
BUFFY: You're more than a father to me, you know that?
GILES (holding her hand): I know.
BUFFY: I was wrong, I can't do this without you, I need you to help me, to support me...to believe in me.
GILES: Spike said one true thing. You've surpassed me, Buffy, I do think I've taught you everything I can that you needed to know. You are on your own. You have to be.
BUFFY: I don't want to be.
GILES: Buffy, you're the only one who can defeat the First's army, unless you have a surprisingly good idea.
BUFFY: You know what? Maybe I will...
