Connor woke up looking around in the room he was in. It was a nice room.
White and clean, big windows all around. He moaned a little rubbing his
eyes and feeling the warm body next to him. He looked at her.
She looked very sweet when sleeping. He didn't want to wake her up but felt like he should leave. He'd been gone all night now. But looking at D.J. he didn't want to leave. He felt strangely at home next to her.
She smiled as she opened her eyes softly and look into his. "Good morning."
"Good morning." Connor returned her smile watching her stretch out her body while yawning.
When she was done she lay on her side so she could face him. "Sleep well?" She asked giving him this look like if she was trying to read his mind.
Connor looked away. "Yeah, I slept okay." He could feel her staring and dared himself to stare back. "What's your real name?" He asked and the question seemed to throw her off.
"What?"
"What's your real name?" He repeated. "I mean, you can't be named D.J. right? It's short for something. Isn't it?"
D.J. was the one to look away now. She didn't smile anymore as she lay on her back. "Yes, it is." She admitted glancing supiciously at him.
"I wont tell." Connor promised with an open hearted smile.
"It's okay, I don't care." She shrugged it off. "It's Dyan. You know like Diane only but spelt with a y and no e."
He nodded understanding. "Unusual." He said shortly not sure whether or not to ask her what the J stood for. She didn't really seem willing to share.
"So." He stretched out putting his arm around her and she smiled and nuzzled closer to him, wrapping her arms around him. "How do you explain that you do what we do?" He asked and she crinkled her eyebrows like she didn't understand what he was asking.
He saw her confusion. "Killing demons for example." He added and she nodded.
"Oh that. Well as far as I'm concerned since the night I got ... infected ... I haven't been a normal girl. And I never will be again. I can't say that sucks. I like being a 'higher being'. I like the strenght, the power and I like the rush." She smiled a little. "Plus of course I like the violence."
Connor laughed at that too. "That part doesn't always suck." He agreed and she smiled as she sighed.
"But, there are something's..." She shook her head. "Nothing. I'm perfectly happy this way." Her smile didn't quite reach her eyes this time but Connor didn't say anything.
He wasn't perfectly happy either. He didn't really think anybody was in their lives. Not even the ones who had normal ones.
"Besides...vampires are cute." D.J. added and Connor crinkled his eyebrows.
"Vampires are cute?" He thought of Angel. Why did girls seem to have a soft spot for vampires?
D.J. nodded next to him. "Yes, when you fight them they actually think they have a chance to win." She scoffed slightly.
"They don't?"
She rolled her eyes at him. "Of course not. No vampire can take me." She saw in his face that he was thinking of his father and she rolled her eyes again. "Not even your dad, he only got a lucky shot before."
Connor smiled crooked. "I've never met someone like you." He told her honestly and she smiled playfully.
"You know I get that a lot." She leaned forward and kissed him and then leaned her forehead against his. "So, since you asked me a question I think I'm entitled to one of my own." She lay next to him again.
Connor looked down at her and nodded. D.J. focused her eyes on him.
"How did you beat me? I mean, I know I was only unconcious for a couple of minutes but still ... no one's ..." She shook her head. "...ever done that before"
He frowned. "No one?" He found that surprising and he couldn't really tell her anything about how he'd done it. The truth was he didn't know how he'd beat her. He just hadn't known really how strong she was, so he'd just thrown the net over her and hit her over the head with a garbage can. Nothing special.
"No one." She sat up looking seriously at him. "That's not supposed to be possible."
"It's not? Why?" Connor got suspicious directly and she could tell. Quickly she covered her worried face with a smile.
"I meant it's never happened before so I didn't think it was possible." She explained and he nodded but then shrugged.
"I don't know. I just hit you and out you went."
She wasn't satisfied with his answer but he couldn't tell anymore since there was nothing to tell. He thought he saw her eyes go from blue to brown but it was too quickly for him to be sure.
"Maybe I should leave." He said getting out of the bed looking for his clothes. She stayed, looking at him curiously.
"Maybe you should." She lay down on her back again still watching him. Connor paused in his moves for a second to look at her but then finished dressing.
"I'll see you around." She waved sweetly and he nodded moving for the door.
"Yeah, see you." He said leaving her apartment.
Out on the street he felt very weird. The last couple of days had been oddly strange and now ... he'd had sex with a demon. And he'd left her to go home to a bunch of irritating people who probably was really mad at him all of them.
'Hopefully Angel's sleeping' He thought walking home.
