This has been a weird day...
Want to kick Xander's ass, like I told An this morning...really do...but maybe I should like explain my day and how I got to that point first....
Okay, so admit, I shouldn't have done what I did this morning at breakfast...sorry again, Faith.
So...Buffy creeped me out a little this morning...inviting Faith along on our training session and movie...I was confused, since every Sunday from now till the end of time has been designated Buffy-Dawnie day. Not that I minded having my best friend with us, really, cause I didn't...just, weirdness...And Anya wasn't especially happy to see her at the Magic Box, but I got that under control pretty quickly, I think.
Training was...definitely on the side of interesting. My first time sparing...which didn't start off well, honestly...I know I was, and I'm pretty sure Buffy was far too focused on us being sisters to actually properly fight. We weren't really trying...Once we finally did...lets just say I'm practically a giant Dawnie-shaped bruise, but I kicked her ass. She pulled my hair. She honestly pulled my hair once she figured out I was winning...immature much? Gotta say...quite a rush to know I can actually hold my own with her. And she's doing an amazing job teaching me this stuff.
Anyway, after that, we drove Faith home, because she decided she didn't want to interrupt our time together anymore and skipped the movie...so I had time to heal a few of the bruises on my face with magick, convince a very concerned and adorable Mike that I was okay, and get very tempted to skip the movie myself...*laughs*
Buffy and I went to the movie, which was Uptown Girls, by the way...talked for a bit on the way...established that as far as she's concerned Mike's the lucky one to have me in his life, not the other way around as I thought as I told her about his reaction to seeing the bruises.
Came home after the movie, distracted Mike from his homework some more, whining that mine was pointless and I didn't want to do it. Then he comes over and sits on the bed with me while I'm doing mine...this leads to making out...heavily...and being almost devastated when we can't find the freaking box of condoms...that has got to be the most irritating thing that could have happened today...I mean, we've finally been pretty much told no one's really gonna say anything about it...completely wanting it...going crazy...and the condoms are like non-existent! Really have to find those...
After that Mike managed to talk me into doing my homework somehow, and left here to be bored and annoyed by the insanity of the crap assignments they think are challenging for people in there last year of high school...so not even close. And honestly, makes me not want to do them, even though I know I can get A's easily.
Got almost done...then Willow knocks on my door and starts telling me all this weird stuff that's going on with Xander and Faith, and wants me to talk to Connor...which, you know...I guess I kind of do need to talk to him...since I haven't really seen him since the night I passed out...and that didn't really give us a chance to talk about what happened at Willow and Tara's wedding...which we need to...I know we do...just not sure I want to...Connor's important to me...he's one of my closest friends...but he wants more than that. And I can't and won't give him that.
So anyway, Will and I had a good talk...then decide we're gonna go see what the status on dinner is...and I can hear Xander yelling at Mike when I get to the bottom of the stairs...
Gotta say, I've had pretty much all I can take of that garbage right now...seriously. Why can't any of the guys in my life get it through their thick heads that Mike loves me just as much, if not more than they do, he's not going to hurt me again, and there were circumstances when he did the first time...and doing that hurt him too...I know it did...he was dealing with his own pain, and could feel mine. That wasn't easy for him either. We got past all that, and closer than ever-- we're stronger than ever, so why can't the insanely-over-protective-more-annoying-about-it-than-my-sister-male-members-of-this-household get that?! Xander needs to back the hell off, because acting the way he is towards Mike? Not going to accomplish anything that he considers positive...I really hope he knows that...Mike's been living in the house like a day, and he's already proven he's unable to keep his mouth shut! Why is it he can tolerate Spike, and not my fiance? Not really fair somehow. I mean, I realise that I'm 17 and Buffy's 22...I get it. But just because I'm 17 doesn't mean I'm a child and that I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I've watched my parents marriage, and Xander and Anya's fall apart around them for various reasons....I know how serious being married is...what it means, that it takes work to make a relationship strong...I know all this! I do not need him breathing down Mike's neck constantly...because honestly? None of Xander's business...he can freak out and act like a spoiled child all he wants, but it's not going to change my plans for the future with the man I love more than life itself.
*sighs* I hate all this tension everyone constantly has about Mike... Honestly...it's just plain stupid.
Haven't had dinner yet, so there may be room for improvement on this day yet...even if I spend it up in my room snuggled in Mike's arms, I'd be more than happy.
