Glass Heart

---

Her fingertips touch the steamy windowpane. They move together, parting, each leaving opposing, sweeping strokes, around and down.

As the heart takes shape, mine does this funny, fluttery thing in my chest. It’s so weird.

She slashes at the doodle. No point. No feathers. An artist, she’s not.

I don’t get her.

She smiles at me through the unclouded pane to her left.

And somehow, suddenly that matters less.

My friends’ stares feel heavy on my back. I look down at all the meaningless lines and squiggles on the page, then back at her.

Decisions just don’t get any easier.

Gotta admit that was one of the shippiest moments of all time...

It stuck with me well enough to bubble up from my subconscious one night. And until recently, I hadn't watched the show in five years. I figured that meant I should do something about it, so...

It seemed worth a drabble.

It's great to read her train of thoughts! She's so oblivious and attracted at the same time, oh Buffy! ^^

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This is simply so true! I can't write short drabbles but you do! This is just so evocative...
