Three Unconnected Drabbles by hellbound
 
3 drabbles
 
AN: I had a paper due. I had nothing to say. Writer’s block is not only for fiction, but apparently, neither is the drabble-writing cure. I figure they’re written so they may as well be read. Research papers are a tool of the first and my professor needs slaying.

They like to sit silently sometimes.
It’s not that they can communicate just as well without words as they can with. Though they can.
And it’s not that it’s always a companionable, comfortable silence regardless of how much they'd each like to kill the other. Though it is.
Or that they are the only two who actually can sit and be truly silent. Though, hard as some would find it to believe, they are and they can.
They don't explain to each other, or the gang, or themselves why they like to sit silently together. They aren't sure they can.


And why not?
Really? Why not?
I mean he's hot, (in the looks way, anyway) he's chipped, he's strong, and he likes that I’m strong. I think. Okay so the chip doesn't work on me, but I’m all grown up now, even Giles says so, so I can take him, no problemo, Buffy the vampire slayer always gets her vamp. And yes, that he needs the chip in the first place is of the bad but again, slayer here, so it evens out. Right? Right.
And best of all, I don't love him.
So it won't hurt when he leaves.


Damn vampire.
Why won’t he do what he's supposed to? Be evil and nasty and rude and... And demony damn it!
Not understanding when I need someone, anyone, to understand, not useful when I’m losing, a fight, my mind, whatever.
Not loyal to a dead girl. Girls. Loyal at all really.
Not here to help me forget when one more man steps out of my life.
He’s going to get what he wants eventually if he keeps it up, ’cause it’s so hard not to just let it all go when he's not doing the big bad thing.
Damn vampire.

So, which did you like best? Or should I keep my issues with academic writing to myself next time?
