[Room 412 -- Cole and Phoebe]

[demonbelthazor]

Upon waking up in the clinic, Belthazor was confused and disoriented. He didn't object when Angelus offered to help get him to his room (much as he hated appearing so weak). Angelus didn't linger, citing the need to talk to some people, but Phoebe was with him. She made sure he was comfortable, then sat down on the bed beside him.

"I love you, Cole," she said softly. "We won't let anything happen."

"Can't do it," Cole said again, his voice almost breaking with despair. Then he relaxed, his hold on Phoebe softening, as he drifted back into sleep.

Phoebe watched him sleep, protecting him.

No one is going to harm you.
