In-House Correspondence [Rp for [livejournal.com profile] stillacrime] WM prompt

Select a RP partner to write a series of letters back and forth with. Let your muse convey the events of a particular incident between the two of them . Don't be afraid to explore all the places where such written correspondences can go.

Buffy had spent a good deal of the night awake. Even after a good, long patrol she couldn't sleep so she'd gone out to the balcony with a piece of pink paper and the purple glitter gel pens she adored and she'd written Danny a letter. She tucked into his coat pocket and crawled back in bed around 5AM. She curled up next to him and finally fell asleep for a couple of hours before the alarm had blared at her. The letter Danny would find in his coat pocket was as follows:



Hey Boyfriend,

So I know I got kind of weird the other day. I wanted to apologize and tell you I really, really, really did appreciate the Happy We're Together Day and dinner and the crosses. It was just me and the whole not sleeping and being Buffy. I know I say a lot all the time but I know I don't always say the right things. I really appreciate all the things you do for me though. No one has ever been so good to me so sometimes I get a little insecure because this is important to me and important equals automatic wigging. So when I wig, just hang with me. I'll stop wigging eventually.

So in like with you,

Buffy

The letter had made a very confused and insecure Danny feel a little better. So much so that during his break, he moved into the stairwell with a paper and pen to put his own words on paper. He had never really written a letter, so at first it was a little awkward and odd. He left the note on top of the clothes she had set out for the new day.

Hey Sunshine-

Got your letter and it made me smile. Was starting to feel like I might be trying too hard. And really, if it feels like I am, just tell me. Was afraid you didn't like the necklaces. Thought maybe you didn't like the necklaces. I don't know. Thought a lot of things.

Point is that I'm hanging in there. I want you. I hope you want me... for a long time to come. If Cracker Jacks still had cool prizes I'd buy a whole bunch just to get to the rings. Then you could wear a dinky plastic Cracker Jack's ring, yeah?

In like with you too,
Danny

Buffy found the letter and it definitely made her smile. Later at work when she was having the boys go through their exercises she sat down and wrote Danny back. The letters were kind of fun and she supposed possibly ridiculous since they lived together and talked every day but the letters were a whole different sort of communication. She ran by his work and left the letter in the helmet compartment of his bike so he'd find it when he started home from work.

So Rockstar

Dinky plastic ring huh? I’d so wear one. What’s up with Cracker Jacks not having prizes? That was the whole reason Dawnie and I begged for them. You’re definitely not trying too hard. I like the trying hard it makes me feel like I’m special. Does it ever feel like I’m not trying hard enough? ‘Cause if it does, say something. I pretty much fail epically as far as relationships go and I really don’t want to do that this time around. And that in case you missed it was me saying I definitely want you. For Keeps. Which is an old Molly Ringwald movie I don’t think we’ve rented yet. It’s cute and about teenage pregnancy but still cute. So for purely scientific purposes and scientific purposes only, do you see this as long haul kind of stuff too? Or is it like okay so six months from now you’re gonna get bored and my eccentricities are going to be less cute and more annoying. Personally, I like the whole long haul theory.

Buffy

PS> I love the necklaces. The silver one is still being worn as a bracelet so it doesn’t tangle up with the gold one on my neck. I think I’m starting a trend.

He beat Buffy home. She had a habbit of keeping notbooks laying everywhere, so the sheet he was now writing on as he smoked a cigarette just happened to be lilac, the lines a darker purple. And the pen? One of her purple glitter pens.

Summers-

Okay so I definitely gotta bring home some pens and white paper. But me and Louie used to go get Cracker Jacks a lot down at the corner store. It was a thing. And I think we should picket the Cracker Jacks people... stupid crackers. But you know you want a plastic dinky ring.

So if we're talking scientific purposes and scientific purposes only, I feel like it's long haul. I mean I got some worries but who doesn't, right? Let's go for the long haul and hope for the best, yeah?

I'm good with Acronyms,
Danny

PS: They make you think of me?

When Buffy found the letter from Danny in her basket of bubble bath she had to laugh at the lilac paper and the glitter pen. She tore a page out of her diary (white) and managed to dig up a black pen from The Plaza hotel just to tease Danny. Once she’d finished the letter she slipped it under his pillow.

Hey Rocky (I’ve gotta make use of all these nicknames I’ve given you)

Of course I want a stupid, dinky, plastic ring. Like crazy. It is possibly the thing I have wanted most in life right after world peace and the end of world starvation. Cracker Jacks are not made of win anymore. I’m writing them a letter after this one.

For scientific purposes only, I’m glad to hear you subscribe to the long haul theory too. Yeah, I’ve got worries mostly because I do the thing where my imagine goes wild. I don’t mind that you’ve got worries too. Like you said, everyone does. I’m okay with the taking a chance. At this point, not taking a chance would hurt just as much as taking one and losing.

So am I but apparently I’m tapped out on making them,

Buffy
PS: Of course! That’s why I wear them

Danny found the note sticking out from beneath his pillow. He couldn't help but grin, and after a thorough search, found white paper but still had the purple glitter pen. He left the note next to her curling iron on the bathroom counter.

Summertime-

You're such a tease with the white paper and black pen. Alright so you're just a tease and what can I say? I like it.

I bet the Cracker Jacks people listen to a pretty blonde more than they did to scruffy me. And come on... world peace? Don't be Miss Universe. They're too cliche and putting on a show. You? You're... boom.

And don't you go changing your imagination either. I like it.

Danny
PS: Speaking of imagination, I've got another idea for how you can wear them.

Buffy found her letter the next morning and it made her grin. She saved the letter until she got to work to read it. Consequently the boys kept asking why she was smiling so much. She got a sheet of yellow legal paper and used a blue pen just for variety’s sake. When she was finished with the letter she rushed it home and slipped it in with the beer in the fridge.

Hey Messer (I see I’m making you come up with nicknames for me)

Aww but I usually make good on my teasing. I just torment you with it first. That’s the fun in it. I see you found the white paper though. I kind of like you stuck with my purple glitter pens to be honest.

Actually, you’d be surprised. People dismiss a blonde a lot. You know, all the dumb blonde jokes. I’ll be sure to include a picture of me in a bikini though and address it to a guy. I was mostly just joking, which is the problem with letters. Tone doesn’t come across. I still like the whole letter thing. It makes me smile to find these from you. You’re right though, world peace is boring and so not for a girl like me. I’d go more for standardized shoe pricing. Making designer footwear available to everyone without mortgaging their souls.

I know. That’s why I just keep using it.

Buffy
PS: Oh really? You should probably tell me about this.

Finding a note with the beer in the fridge? Was made of win. He read it, and after he had written a reply, he folded it up and saved it until morning. Before he left for work the next morning he left it folded over the top drawer in the bureau (which happened to be her underwear drawer), halfway sticking out so she could see it.

Sunshine - (You know you like it.)

Whoever's gonna underestimate you is in for a big surprise. I've seen you with the punching bag.

So maybe we should keep writing them to each other here and there. I like making you smile. I like it a lot. I'll even keep using the purple glitter pen just for you.

-Danny
PS: About you wearing the necklaces... and just the necklaces.

Buffy found her letter when she woke up and took it to work with her along with some of the lilac paper and a pink glitter pen. When she'd finished a reply she put it in a sealed envelope with his name printed almost professionally in black letters. She was slightly nervous but she figured it couldn't actually hurt anything. She got off work early, took it up to his work and left it with the front desk.

So, Pretty Boy (I blame that stupid quiz)

I love the nicknames by the way and I think you're a genius for the whole continuing to write the notes thing. You + purple glitter pen are made of win.

-Buffy
PS: And now you know what I'll be wearing when you get home tonight
