Rating: PG
Word Count: 150
Prompt: 028, BtVS S3/S4
Pairing: Faith, Xander
There were no flowers here. Xander supposed the mayor would have brought some if he hadn’t gotten all crispy crittered, but his single rose would have to do. The nurse thought he was Faith’s boyfriend. He didn’t tell her about the motel room sex and the strangling. That was lot less romantic and a lot more messed up.
“Say something,” said the nurse, “she can hear you.”
Good to know but what to say? I’m sorry? I’m glad? Get well soon, but try not to kill people? This was awkward and the open road was calling. “Pleasant dreams, Faith,” he said finally, kissed her forehead, and left.
****
Faith’s dream smelled of roses as the dark-haired hotty pinned a corsage to her dress. Prom night and everything was five by five. The boss kissed her forehead as they headed out the door. “Have fun, kids. Try to be home by ten.”
