disclaimer: i own nothing. which is a good thing bcuz i'd probably kick Bella out and take Edward myself!
I turned the TV off after Inu Yasha. Back in Phoenix, I'd never had much interest in Japanese cartoons. However, not long ago I'd watched an episode of this one and fallen in love with it.
Call me crazy, but maybe it had been the human girl riding on the back of the almost-demon that she obviously loved as he ran through the forest. Anyway, it had really gotten to me, and I hadn't missed an episode since.
Edward had suffered through them with me. He'd probably suffer through a volcanic eruption if I asked him... then again maybe not. Because then I'd be in danger, and a very selfish part of me smiled to know how much he worried about me.
That part of me smiled because my boyfriend was godlike in his beauty. Smiled because my boyfriend would risk any and everything to keep me safe. Heck, a part of me smiled because my boyfriend was a vamp--
"Edward?" I asked, suddenly curious. "How do you spell vampire?"
Edward's face took on the oddest expression. "What do you mean 'How do you spell it'?"
"With an 'I' or with a 'Y'?" I clarified.
"Oh!" he seemed surprised. "Why does it matter?"
"I don't know. I just like to know how to spell things," I told him.
"Why? Are you going to write it down somewhere?"
"No."
"Then why do you need to know?"
"I just like to spell things in my mind as I think them."
Edward laughed then, perfect bells bouncing around my living room. For once, Charlie knew Edward was here, but he'd gone to bed early, asked us not to wake him, then reminded Edward to leave at 11:00 because 'he'd know if he didn't'. I'd done my best to keep from laughing then, but Edward had been serious as he'd said 'yes, sir'. The clock on the wall said 11:07 so his laugh was quieter than it might've been.
"Bella, you are so absurd!" he told me.
"I've been told," I said dryly.
"So?" I prompted after a moment.
"Well, to be honest, I've never had any reason to wonder about it... I don't really know."
"Then, can I spell it V-A-M-P-Y-R-E?" I pleaded.
"I don't see why not," he started, clearly not understanding the importance of the situation.
"Yes!" I interjected, "'Y' is so much cooler than 'I'! I kissed him goodnight, then turned to climb the stairs, knowing he'd be in the bedroom before I was.
Before reaching the second step, I heard him mutter something that sounded suspiciously like: 'Maybe that's why she's so impossible to read'.
A/N: haha. this is dedicated to Michelle because of her love for Inu Yasha. and to my Uncle Josh who once introduced himself as Edward, is bigger than Emmet, and insists that vampyre is spelled with a Y. If you are reading this, I love you both!! (reviews appreciated as always!!) OMG i JUST found the 'add ruler' button!!
