[ Vampire slaying ought to be core knowledge for everyone living in Sunnydale, California, even if that someone happens to be a former (future?) Kaiju killer. However, when that someone happens to be dating the slayer, knowing how to slay a vampire is basic survival 101. As much as Buffy would like to tell herself that he's safe with her, past experience tells her that's a lie.
The fact that Raleigh wants to learn how to kill vampires, and wants to help her out, makes him all the more amazing. Of course, there's that little part of her that recalls Owen, and the adrenaline rush that he got from going out with her, but Raleigh is definitely not Owen. He's also really capable on his own. She likes that about him. He just needs the crash course on vampires and he'll be fully integrated into the slayer lifestyle, which kind of scares her because Buffy and relationships have been traditionally non-mixy things. She's never been entirely sure if that's because of her life and the way her boyfriends invariably get drawn into her life, or if there's something wrong with her. She wants it to be the former and is afraid it's the latter. The real problem with this entire scenario is that she likes Raleigh. A lot. Perhaps more than she's liked anyone in a very long time. Without her permission, her heart has tumbled head over heels in love with him and the only reason her head hasn't followed is because of her laundry list of fears, past experiences and other 'shouldn'ts'.
You know, like that eventually they're going to have to send him back to his time. That's going to hurt and Buffy knows that it's only a matter of time before Willow figures out the how of it all.
And she's definitely not going to think about that now. Not today anyway when she's supposed to be giving Raleigh the low down on vampires. She's in the training room at the back of the magic box wearing a pair of yoga pants and a tank top, waiting for Raleigh to get off work. She knows without looking at the clock that he'll be here soon and that sends a little shiver racing up her spine along with a goofy grin that she can't quite smother no matter how hard she tries. Raleigh turns Buffy into the teenage girl that she never got to be for very long. It's possibly one of her favorite things about him.
That and his abs. ]

I've never had a problem with that, but I'll take your word for it. [He wraps an arm around her and pulls her a little closer.]
Thanks for this. I don't think I've actually thanked you, yet. It means a lot.
no subject
Are you kidding? Considering these are the perks, I really should thank you.
no subject
I'm not sure what you're used to with guys, but I mean it. I'm lucky to have you, even given the whole weird time portal or universe portal or whatever cute thing Willow keeps calling it.
But if I'm here, in your life, after everything you've done for me? I'd like to do whatever I can. You can fend for yourself, and I can so see that, but I'm not the type to just sit around, and if you can utilize me in any way, I am completely at your mercy, Ms. Buffy Summers. [Cue cheesy grin. Yes, he knows what he just said.]
no subject
Weird time portal thingy. She'll be touched you're listening.
[ She presses a kiss to his chest and looks up at him. ] I'm not used to you. [ That says enough, doesn't it? Particularly the fond way that she says it. ] I think I lucked out too. With that whole weird time portal thingy delivering you me.
[ And then...oh. That sounds like fun]At my mercy huh? That could be dangerous.
[ He gets a cheesy grin from her as well because that sounds like a lot more fun than training. ]
no subject
He does smile at her words before ducking his head a little.] I think I'll be safe in your hands.
no subject
She tiptoes to press a kiss against his cheek. ] As houses.
no subject
no subject
It's a saying. Safe as houses. I never really got it until I became a vampire slayer, but they can't come in a house, not unless you invite them so...safe as houses. [ She's all too happy to explain it to him, especially tucked up close to him the way she is. ]

[ She goes up on her toes, returning the kiss, deepening it a little as she winds her fingers in his hair, body pressed against his. She knew this training session would get out of hand, but she also knows that Raleigh is a quick learner. When the kiss breaks, she's grinning, slightly breathless. ]
Just call me Professor Buffy.
no subject
Well I'll be your best pupil.
no subject
Should I get a ruler and a lab coat? [ She teases him. ] Maybe put my hair up in a bun? [ She's equally as breathless from the kiss. That never gets old. ]
