“Angel… I don’t think you understand the lengths i would go to if it means keeping you here with me.’ -patch (pg 262)”

There’s only one thing i know for certain anymore.” he turned, his eyes a clear black. “that i would do anything for you, even if it means going against mu instincts or my very nature. I would lay down everything i possess, even my soul, for you. If that isn’t love, it’s the best i have.
