On Guard TtH Prompt: #37 Birthday Summary: Cameron’s birthday. Cameron finally gave up on telling his story. Buffy was too busy scanning the crowd to listen. In fact, she had been distracted all day. The team had decided to take him out to celebrate his birthday. They had been having a good time and Daniel and Vala were currently out on the dance floor. Surprisingly, Buffy had declined every time he had asked. He scooted closer to her in the booth and placed his arm across the back. Leaning in close, he asked, “Wanna talk about it?” He grinned with male pride as she shivered slightly from the close contact. “About what?” “What’s been bothering you all day,” he said, nuzzling her neck. “Nothing’s wrong,” she said, swallowing hard against the heat in her body that he was causing to build. Her eyes never left the crowd. “You’ve been tense and jumpy all day,” he said, bringing his other hand to rest halfway up her thigh. “Just keeping an eye out for trouble,” she said. He frowned and pulled back to look at her. “Trouble? What kind of trouble?” “In the past, my birthday was kind of a day of big trouble. My kind of trouble,” she replied, finally turning to look at him. “But that’s your birthday, not mine,” he pointed out. “True, but we’re dating which is like an invitation to trouble for you I just don’t want anything to go wrong.” Cameron smiled, touch by the display of how much she cared. “How about this? The day is almost technically over, so why don’t you relax and if something happens, we’ll take care of it.” She shut her eyes and hesitantly nodded in agreement. “Great! Now will you please dance with me, or am I gonna have to ask one of the others girls in here to take pity on the birthday boy?” Buffy’s eyes flew open. She wordlessly grabbed his hand and drug him out on to the dance floor, never seeing his grin. Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
