Advent Drabble #7 (Buffy & Friends)

Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] synful_trixx!

BtVS - Buffy & Willow & Xander & Giles & Dawn - post-NFA - G
For [livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa
(When I threw Xander and the others into the mix there was suddenly no more room for that extra special Buffy & Willow moment you requested. Hope that's okay. Maybe I'll try again later...)


Warmth

It’s freezing outside, but the apartment is sweltering. Willow has been baking for hours; Cookies, gingerbread, the works, while Giles and Xander went out shopping. Now they’re trying to wrestle a huge Christmas tree through the door.

“Wait! Slayer job” Single-handedly, Buffy yanks it inside. Pine needles scatter. “See?”

No more mom-cookies, or guilty gift vouchers from Dad; no more stilted, heartbreaking Christmas cards from Angel or inexpertly wrapped gifts from Spike; no more Anya tales about child-eating Santas…

Will Christmas ever stop hurting?

“Buffy! Did you use my new lipstick?” Dawn yells.

With friends like these?

Getting there.

I don't know what happened. On the day I wrote that all my drabbles had a very gloomy hue.
I wrote two character death drabbles on that day and I never write character death. This one is cheeful, compared to the other two.
Anyway, I'm glad you like the mixed feelings. Thanks.
