[Who do you go to for relationship advice?]
“A relationship is never made up of just two people. It has to include friends and family as well,” Dr Love started the session off once Buffy had gotten comfortably seated on the couch. “So today I want to talk about who you go to for relationship advice.”
Buffy wrinkled her nose at the question, expressing her distaste for it from the start. She pulled her ponytail over her shoulder and tugged on the end of it. “I don’t know. It depends on the advice I want. There’s Willow if I just need to rant and talk and get it all out there. She’s always on Team Buffy and she gives me ice cream and threatens to turn boys into frogs. She’s the BFF part of the whole relationship equation. The thing is, Willow adores me and she can’t be counted on to be honest. She won’t tell me I’m wrong because that’s not very Team Buffy.”
“So who do you go to for honest advice?” Dr. Love asked as she leaned forward a bit, giving the impression of being interested and maybe she was. Buffy just couldn’t see how she could listen to people with relationship problems all day and be interested in every single one of them but then that was why she was a slayer and Dr. Love was a therapist.
Buffy shrugged at that. She tilted her head to the side and covered the scar on her neck with her hand. “If I want honesty…I go talk to Angel. He’s not afraid to tell me I’m being bitchy. He’s not afraid to tell me that I’m wrong and he’s not afraid to piss me off. I’m not afraid to react to his advice. Plus, he’s been through the whole Buffy plus one show. He knows all my faults and all my insecurities.”
“And how does Danny feel about you getting advice from your ex-boyfriend?”
“I’m not sure he’s really comfortable with it but I think in the end, it benefits him so…” Buffy rolled one shoulder in a shrug. “Angel’s a part of my life. Danny knows that and he accepts it and…Angel gives me good advice. He wants me to be happy and that means Danny. I’m lucky to have them both and I’m lucky that they tolerate each other for me.”
