Two Flower Drabbles
Two drabbles who belong together.
For me, this is the reason why it never could have worked out between Xander and Anya...
(if you find any mistakes, please tell me *looks sheepish*)
Everything he does...
Sometimes for no apparent reason, Xander brings Anya flowers.
Not roses, because they are just too perfect to be true.
But daisies. Tulips. Sometimes Sunflowers.
Anya
always smiles, rolls her eyes, then kisses him and says that he
shouldn't have before she puts them into a vase, arranging them nicely,
while telling him, that it's a shame to spend hard earned money on
something that's gonna rot away under their eyes.
Xander agrees but still keeps buying her flowers.
He wants to show Anya, that he buys them, even though he knows they aren't gonna last.
Because she's worth it.
********************************************************
Everything she sees...
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, Xander brings home flowers.
Each
time a different sort, but never the ones she'd seen men bring their
wives after they'd betrayed them. She was thankful for that.
Anya
acts as if she doesn't want them – like other people do, upon receiving
gifts – then she kisses Xander and goes to give them fresh water.
She always says, that it's a waste of money, because they're already starting to wilt.
Xander agrees every time but continues buying them, anyway and Anya sometimes sits on the sofa, watching them slowly die.
Just like her new human body.
