Soliloquy
(Xander/Anya)
by fiatlux

I love her.
I’m scared to love her.
I love her and that scares me.
So, do I really love her?

I know who she is, well, at least I think I do.
Anya, the former Vengeance Demon
The one says what no one else will when it needs to be said
(or what should never be said when everyone is listening)
The one who actually makes me look smart
And I think I know some of what she is capable of:
The vengeance
The pain
The pleasure

I love her and that scares me.
I’m scared to love her.
But do I really love her?

I know she thinks she knows who I am
Xander, the former (and maybe still) Zeppo
The heart, the glorified bricklayer.
The one who makes her waffles
and hides the marshmallow bunnies come Easter.
But I don’t think she knows what I’m capable of:

The devotion

The bitterness

The rage


I do love her.
I love her, and that scares me.
I’m scared to love her.

It’s not her that scares me, it’s not even me.
It’s love. Love causes pain.
Giles and Ms. Calendar
Willow and Tara
Buffy and… well…
Buffy’s parents
Willow’s parents
Hell, MY parents

I let her go;
cut my losses,
saved us all the pain of yet another failed relationship.

So why it is I still love her?
