That was Buffy, a study in extremes. However, he sorta took her breath away when he said he was falling for her. She gasped a little and bit her bottom lip, looking up at him, all serious and big eyes, looking much younger than she was. Talking about Mafia and death were situations for humor. Falling in love, definitely no room for humor there. That was serious business.
"Okay...so me too. I mean...maybe. I think and I'm only doing the waffle thing because the last time I fell in love it ended bad. Bad as in the baddest of the bad of the bad. Like I considered nunship bad. Like...bad. And this is where you might want to change your mind because Buffy is so not well adjusted in the whole 'love' thing. God I'm rambling. I know I'm rambling but you have to know this thing and please just stay right here don't pull away from me even though maybe this is not conducive to rambling. Abandonment issues like whoa. I mean even *I* know I have them. that's so not relevant right now. The point is I'm scared. Like can't breathe scared. I'm...indestructible. Not literally but...the point is...I know falling in love can destroy me. I nearly lost me after...the bad and I'm scared. I'm just-I'm falling and I'm scared and I hate being scared. I want to tell myself to grow a spine and suck it up but myself doesn't listen. My self just-I'm not scared of you though. I'm scared of falling in love because of the aforementioned bad last time and logically I know you won't do any of those things to me but-love isn't logical. I thought I had a point and I don't think I do now. I'm sorry. Just...rewind that ramble and pretend I just said I'm falling for you too?"
