To tell the one you love...or to not...that has to be the question

I got out of my rental car and stared at the building. So Buffy and dawn had returned to their roots. Their dead beat dad infested roots but roots none the less. I frowned but perked up as I saw a woman in her convertable spill coffee on herself. I never understood why things like that made me laugh nowadays. Maybe because, that used to be me. And

Yeah, of course, if Buffy can get phone calls in two in the morning, why couldn't she get visitors too, right? Of course... except the one who needs to pick up the phone or open the door always turn out to be me. How much does this suck? I SO need to find my own place to live. With no Buffy. Ahh, that would be a day...

I walk downstairs and glance at the clock on my way. Well, ok, it's seven am now, but I still say it's too inhuman to come to visit at time like this. Oh, wait! I live with a girl who kills vampires and demons, I used to be a glowing ball of energy and my dad has a habit to sleep with his secretaries. Yeah, my life isn't all that human anyway...

"Xander!" I squeal as I open the door. Yes, I was fully prepared to be all bitchy and everything, but it's Xander! And now I'm hugging him. "Why in hell are you here at seven am?!" I didn't say I won't be bitchy too, I only said I'm happy to see him...

"Xander!"

Ah, joyful welcome. Just what I needed to ease the nerves of telling your best friend you love them.

"Why in hell are you here at seven am?!"

"Seven AM?!?" I looked at my watch and only said, "Time difference. I guess that's why I feel so tired."

Time difference. Of course, it figures, everyone has got a reason why to wake me up. They need help, they've been in differential time zone, they have managed to land on the mood. Who cares?

"Of course." I sigh as I finally let him out of my embrace. "Oh, sorry, I'm all impolite, but you can't blame me... really early, remember? Anyway... wanna come in?" I step back letting Xander walk in.

"Buffy and dad is still sleeping, I think... Buffy got back late last night and then she had a phone call and... sleep now." I yawn as I walk to the kitchen. "You want something? Coffee? Breakfast?"

I walked in the apartment. It was nice, definitely Hank's. "Sorry for the early-ness."

I sat down on the couch and looked at Dawn. "No, that's fine...well...nah it can wait." I grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v. Not only did I have to get used to time differences, I had to get used to channel differences also.
