Drabble: Hopeless Romantic (Fred/Gunn)

[snogged]

Title: Hopeless Romantic
Author: snogged
Team: Order of Aurelius
Prompt: Romance
Pairing: Fred/Gunn
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: through Angel: “Supersymmetry.” One swear word


Under all that muscle and gang warfare attitude is a hopeless romantic willing to do anything to bring a smile to his girl’s face. He will take her out for pancakes and make sure the waitress gives her extra blueberries and whipped cream because he knows that it’s her favorite.

What he can’t do is let her commit murder even if the ass deserves it. He can’t let that weigh on her conscience. That’s what hopeless romantics do. They sacrifice the world so the person they love keeps on glowing in the darkness. Even if it means letting them go.

I understand the murder thing...but the letting go? What am I missing?

Another nice piece!

"Supersymmetry" was the episode that started the tension that led to Fred/Gunn breaking up.

And it was because he killed her professor for her.
