Joss Whedon's the genius, not me.

Written for "2005 Drabbles by 2005," using the challenge of Dawn and Xander, ice cream, any time (I did post-Chosen).

Ice Cream
by Zzilly14

"Xander, I'm craving some chocolate ice cream..."

"With whipped cream and a cherry?"

"Sometimes it scares me to realize how well you know me."

"And sometimes it scares me... to realize how much you're growing up."

"Why does it scare you?"

"Because you're turning out to be a beautiful young woman, and sometimes I have thoughts that I probably shouldn't have about my best friend's sister."

"Xander..."

"I'm serious, Dawn. I feel wrong about it..."

"But I don't. And who cares what Buffy thinks."

"Here's your chocolate ice cream, minus the cherry."

"But we have cherries..."

"It's in my mouth."
