call_me_seeley blissfully simple
So I always thought having a big sister who was a slayer would be the biggest weirdness in my life, then of course there was finding out I’m a big ball of pure green energy. After that I didn’t think life could get any stranger. I’m used to things that go bump in the night and I’m used to looking out for myself.
So when I, who can actually slay a vampire every so often, get saved by a guy whose barely taller than me on my college campus? You’d think it wouldn’t surprise me, yet, that was me, totally surprised, floored even.
We don’t talk about it, I think it’s just this understanding that our past doesn’t matter, I know I really don’t want to explain not being real and I have no idea what his past is like but something tells me it’s not pretty. I know a good broody guy when I see one so I just let it go. When trouble happens we work as a team, I’m good with the research and I have resources Connor couldn’t even begin to imagine.
Plus, my boyfriend is beautiful in that clichéd inside and outside kind of way. I mean I can see that there’s a entire world that exists behind his eyes and I don’t want to pry. Sure I’m interested and I’m pretty sure I’m in love with him so I guess I do want to know but at the same time I don’t.
Maybe I’m just afraid to burst this amazing little bubble we’ve got. I like the way his arms feel around me. He makes me feel safe and for once in my life it’s not about Buffy. Not that I resent her anymore, ok not a lot, but he doesn’t know her or anything about her. He doesn’t like me because my sister is a superhero, and hey I think he could give her a run for her money if he wanted to. She’s totally freaking out about the stuff that’s going on around campus now and I keep trying to tell her that things are fine but she’s all Buffy. She’s got too much time on her hands and honestly I think she misses California even though she’d never admit it.
She hasn’t quite been the same since Angel disappeared, there’s still no word if he’s alive or dead, but everyone assumes he’s gone. Not Buffy though, she says she’d know, who am I to argue with her?
For once in my life things are blissfully simple, I’ve got an amazing boyfriend, classes are going well and I feel like I matter to the world in a less world-in-peril kind of way and just a contributing to society kind of way. It’s nice.
