Title: Ten Bucks Says. . .

Words: 489
"You owe me ten bucks." Buffy threw her patrol bag triumphantly down on the counter.
"Do I?" Asked Willow from where she stood at the stove, "And why's that?"
"Pancakes?" asked Dawn walking into the kitchen in her pajamas and fuzzy slippers. "Ummm Tara's still in the bathroom but I am very ready for the eating."
"I said Spike and Xander were together and you didn't believe me. There was a bet!" Buffy spoke, ignoring Dawn's words.
"It's not that I didn't believe you," said Willow placating her, "it's just. . . your slash addled mind thinks that if two men are in the same room they are also sharing a bed."
"Hey the cashier and bagboy were totally a thing. They had a secret smile!" Buffy smiled as if she had conclusively proven her point.
Dawn raised her eyebrows but said nothing as she reached for the syrup.
"Buffy, you were staring in that far off way you do." Willow brandished her spatula as she spoke. "Ya know the stare you do when figuring out how two guys got together. You were smiling, they thought that one of them was gonna get laid."
"Oh," said Buffy somewhat dejectedly. "But Spike and Xander are together!"
"And how do you prove that?" asked Dawn with a devious smile.
"I asked."
"That's not very slayer like." Dawn sounded disappointed.
"I threatened Spike with bodily harm if he didn't come clean. Then Xander walked in and rushed to the aid of his boyfriend. It was great!!"
Willow was taken aback, "*Buffy*," she whined, "you said you were going to stealthily find out and that you would then subtly push them together if they weren't already. *Stealthily* and *subtly*!"
"I got bored," justified Buffy, "I'm the slayer! Violence is subtle for me. I can't help it I was chosen this way! Anyway my slight threat made them cuddle!! I'm sure they're bonding right now."
"That's a *great* euphemism!" proclaimed Dawn. "Can I use that?"
"Focus on breakfast, Dawny. . . bonding, do you think?" she asked excitedly, "Do you think Spike will take him as a bondling?"
"Buffy," said Willow slowly as if talking to a confused and volatile child, "Do you think maybe you're confusing reality and fanfic? Bonds and bondlings don't really exist."
"But I was right about Spike and Xander!" she said triumphantly and marched out of the kitchen, heading for bed after her long night of patrolling.
"Should we tell her they've been mated for three months?" asked Dawn.
"Now I ask you," Willow said rounding on her, "where would the fun be in that? I thought I was going to die when you said that thing about the euphemism. If I had laughed she *so*, *so* would have known,"
"That's not fair, you used the term 'slash addled mind,' I mean that was evil." Dawn looked at the redhead and they both lost to a fit of giggles.
