Normal by evangelin

Chapter #1 - One Shot

Buffy took the popcorn out of the microwave and froze. The reality of what she was doing hitting her. The thought of what she was doing scaring her. It was just so normal, so simple, so pain-free. Two cold arms wrapped around her waist and she let out her breath. Sometimes she had nightmares in which this was only a dream. But it was that unexplainable happiness which came from having someone to hold you when you woke up from a nightmare that made having the nightmare ok. Everyone has nightmares, everyone makes popcorns, watches movies, makes out on the couch and then moves into the bedroom. But not everyone’s nightmares have their love burning to death, not everyone can catch the popcorn the second before they hit the floor when she drops them, not everyone laughs while watching horror movies, not everyone can make out for hours without taking a breath and break the couch, if they got carried away, and not everyone can do what they do in the bedroom. Buffy smiled at her own thoughts, turned around and kissed her vampire softly. It was all ok. Even more than ok. It was perfect. It was theirs.
