He (who unlike the others before him is all the way here with me) tries to protect me like all the rest of them, tries to make sure I don't have to hurt in any extra ways, but unlike the others (meaning Riley but of course) instead of frowning like a fool he smiles when I'm the one taking down the bad guy, which is often and always.

But I have him (fighting right beside me even without any special power to back him up) to go home to and let him be the one to put me back together again, each new cut and bruise healed with only one single kiss.

"Kill any sons of a bitches today, baby (baby, baby, baby! He's the only one that can every call me)?"

A simple little warning before we go on, if any one calls me baby beside my honey-bear (revenge is sweet is it not?) there will be hell to pay and by hell I mean my foot up your asses, got that? Good.

"Lots and lots, so many I'm a afraid they will never stop coming and coming, and coming."

"Well, that's why were here to make sure that one day they finally stop coming, it might take years but maybe one day."

"Maybe."

-

It's been like this (the whole he has my back, while also looking at it, and I have his) for what feels like years, and all of it started because one tiny little vampire.

(who had even worse fashion sense then the last one, is this some kind of trend among the undead? Did I seriously just rhyme?)

One moment I'm doing my thing (and along for the ride is Mr. Pointy all sharp and ready to roll) all by my lonesome when in comes Dean freaking Winchester to save the damsel in distress.

But of course he had no idea that in one moment he would become just that and it would be my job to save both his butt and my own.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm the slayer now turn that sentence into something that sounds like 'thank you for saving my ass' and I might not kick it myself, okay?"

Instead of hitting back with some witty banter (which I'll come to learn is what comes out of his mouth 90% of the time, I do not lie) he eyed the pile of dust that was covering him head to toe and fell in line like the good little boy he will never for the life of him be.

"'Thanks for saving my ass" I'm Dean by the way and now miss slayer what's your name?"

"Buffy, but bud it's Miss Summers to you."

-

So as you can clearly see we didn't have that great of a first meeting (show me anyone who has and I'll eat my now foot, tasty) and if he hadn't have saved be back a couple of times I doubt if I would have tried to see who was behind the blond jokes (most to do with my 'lovely ass' as he calls it) and the loving the car more then me thing.

And I'm grateful that I did because if I had just walked away and never gave him another thought (one of the first girls to ever do such a thing *gasp*) I wouldn't have the person that to this day I love more then all the rest.

I wouldn't have my very best friend (and get to call him my bff and watch him cringe).

(oh and the fact about twenty minutes after our first meeting he dissed the name, just like everyone else, by asking 'what kind of name is Buffy, your pretty buff but come on!')

"Done slaying, Buff?"

Unlike some of the others (not naming any names so don't even try) who wanted more me then me out slaying and saving the world, they should have known I'd come along with two best friends, one bratty little sister and a whole lot of bad guys gunning for us all, but with Dean it all equals out.

(he's almost out hunting as much as me, and now that's something right there, plus we spend loads of time saving each other every other night)

"Yep, all the vamps are dust tonight, no demons to be seen and none of my closest friends have been drinking the evil juice or the kool aid, so I'd say we're in the all clear. So what's tonight, bff?"

(hehe, how bad am I?)

"Movie night, a movie filled with less gore then we see on a daily basis but lots and lots of cars and explosions, oh and kissing. But of course not the movie, us."

"Just what I was hoping for."

(and this my friends, expect Angel who's been trying really hard to kill my current boy friend he's not on the friends list at the moment, is the part where you all go and leave us to our kissing)
