For sionnach_ayame's prompt:
"I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry.
And I know you do the same things too.

He'd botched things up all right.

He'd arsed everything up so badly that she'd disinvited him from her house.

But what was he supposed to do? This love he felt was so strong that he had to tell her, had to try to make her understand. But the bloody slayer just didn't get it. She thought he couldn't love without a soul. Human didn't have a monopoly on that emotion.

No more Buffy, no more hot chocolate and conversation with Joyce, no more watching cartoons with the niblet.

It wasn't just the slayer he'd lost, it was the whole family.
