Buffy was busy making dinner and Giles sat back thinking how terribly common that is and how it just fits in. Everything was coming together for him and a smile crossed his lips. The last few months had been exquisite for him. His soul felt so alive whenever she was around.
After dinner he talked her into going out for a walk, she was quite resistant about it. Here it is snack time in Sunnydale and he wants to go for a walk. Even for a leisurely stroll they were quite armed should they be attacked.
"Um… Giles, Why are we here?" They stood in front of the ruins of the high school.
"This is where we first met, Luv. I remember clearly. I thought you were a selfish girl given a gift of being the slayer. You reminded me that not everything is done by the book. I literally had to throw it out and make a new one up as we went along. For a young girl at that age, it must have been terrifying and burdensome to have the weight of the world on your shoulders." He moved her hair to the side. "You have done some wonderful things luv, if only the world could no what an astonishing woman you are. You have struck a fire to everyones lives, saved us all, and more importantly, you've accepted me into your life."
Buffy caressed his cheek. "Whats bringing this on all of a sudden?"
"You'll see luv." With that they took each others hands and walked hand in hand again.
They traveled the different places that they had been to, they had fought, each time, Rupert would go a little further into what each place meant to him. Their final destination was someplace new, "OOOOOOhhhhhhh Giles, This is….. Wow."
He took in how happy she was with this place. The park held in a more tucked away area.. a waterfall cascading down over rocks and by pretty flowers, the swans were asleep in the middle of the lake. It was very peaceful.
"The reason why I brought you here, is…." He thought of his words now and what this will mean to the both of them. "Because I knew that this is one place that can truly put a smile on your face."
"Your wrong about that."
He looked at her worried, "Wrong?"
"Where I'm happiest, is with you."
He smiled a 1000 watt smile, his heart beat a trillion fold more as he prepared to tell her more. "When I'm with you, my heart flies. With everything you do or say, you couldn't make me more happier, except for what I am just going to ask you."
He got down on one knee before her and produced a small box, opening it as he asked, "Buffy, would you do me the greatest honor in all my life, would you …." He hesitated as he felt the words fill in his heart, "Marry me."
Buffy's expression turned to pure joy. Her legs no longer could support themselves and she dropped down in front of him crying. "Yes! Oh Rupert, yes!" She started crying and shaking some more as he placed the heart shaped engagement ring on her finger. They sat entwined in one another arms, crying and laughing in joy.
"This is purely the most happiest moment of my life."
"Mine too, Watcher mine." They embraced in a loving kiss as he held her tight afraid that this was a dream. Tears welled in his eyes. The pure delight he had just received sent his heart and spirit soaring.
"Lets go home luv."
She looked up at him all starry eyed, "I'll go any where with you."
