Preventing Buffy from hurting Xander more. From thepowerplayers
Had my little discussion with Dawn about sleeping with Xander and how Buffy was always going to look at her like she was too young for sex, even ten years from now. Told Dawn, that I personally had no issues with it. Sex was necessary and I knew that she was going to have it, although I did question her choice in partners because Monkey boy is such a sod, but she smacked me on the arm and gave me the whole Xander is equipped mumbo-jumbo that Anya used to say and that I didn't want to hear.
Took Dawn back down the hall, where Buffy and Xander were, and it was obvious that Buffy ha dhit Xander and was still ready to damage to me. Part of me wanted to see it because of the way that Xander had treated me back in Sunnydale way before I had my soul, but I knew that it wasn't what Buffy really wanted to do and knew that the niblet wouldn't be happy with Buffy if she ended up pounding on Monkey boy the way that Faith had earlier.
Dawn was first to step in between Buffy and Xander and Dawn was quick to tell Buffy that she was an adult now and that she would do what she wanted to. When she smacked Buffy for hitting Xander, which Dawn and I both found out had happened, I knew that Buffy was about to blow her top and having seen enough of this already and even more of it when you brought Faith and Angel into the picture, I decided that it was time to break this up before it turned into a real bad situation.
Grabbed Buffy and took her out of the room and down the hall to the room that we had been using as our own room, putting her down once inside, knowing that now, I was about to get an earful, but feeling that it was better then Buffy exploding on Dawn for smacking her, thus putting Xander in even more trouble with her and making it so Buffy would never, ever drop the Xander having sex with Dawn thing, and I knew that it was nature and was bound to happen more, which I now had to convince Buffy of, which, yeah, God help me there.
"Buffy, you have every bloody right to be appalled by the two of them...the two of them doing what they did and to be upset by Dawn smacking you, but you have to remember that it's her life, love, and the more you object, the more that she's going to defy you. This was bound to happen eventually and you can't drive yourself sack of hammers worrying about her from doing something that comes natural to all adults..."
She was likely going to hit me now. I studied her, not taking my eyes away from hers.
