Buffy Summers x Plus Size GN!Reader
Summary: You overhear something you wish you hadn't.
Warnings: self conscious reader, asshole Xander, sweet Buffy
Notes: This is my first time writing a plus sized reader so I hope it's okay!
“Run!” Buffy screamed at the top of her lungs.
You turned around to see a gang of vampires chasing you. There must have been five at least. Xander, Willow and Buffy were way ahead of you, almost free but you couldn’t keep up. One of the vampires grabbed your wrist and yanked you back, you were barely able to call out Buffy’s name through your ragged breaths. Her head whipped around when she heard you. She bolted back and leapt on the vamp that had you, just as his fangs were beginning to break the surface of your skin. She ripped him off you and drove a stake through his heart. You saw him turn to dust in front of your eyes.
“Are you okay? Did he bite you?”
‘Let’s get you back to Giles’”
“You know, I’ll never get u-used to that”
“Oh, right. I guess it doesn’t really bother me anymore”
You stand up, still breathing heavily and head back with Buffy.
When you get back to Giles’ he patches you up while the others talk. You don’t mean to eavesdrop but they were in the living room and you were in the kitchen, not much distance between you.
“They were pretty tough, Buffy. Do you think something’s going on?” Willow asked.
“Maybe, vamps don’t usually work together unless there’s a new big bad in town”
“I think we’re glossing over something here girls” Xander moaned.
“What Xander?” Buffy responded with a signature eye roll.
“What about Y/n?” Buffy straightened her back and tensed at his tone.
“Totally chubster? Always slowing us down? Almost got both of you killed tonight, am I making sense to anyone?”
You felt his words deep inside you, confirming all of your worst fears and insecurities. You couldn’t listen any longer, you grabbed your coat and ducked out before they could see you.
“I think that’s a little harsh Xander” Willow responded.
“A little?” Buffy turned to Willow.
“Well, you’ve gotta admit Buffy, they do slow us down a bit” “And what do you suppose we do, kick them out?”
“No! I just think maybe it’s better if they don’t come on patrol”
“I can’t believe you, Will! Xander, I expect, but you?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Xander barked.
“I means that you’ve never been supportive of our relationship”
“Of course not! They can’t walk to the mailbox without breaking a sweat!”
It took everything in Buffy not to deck him right there. She walked out and looked for you, just to be met with an empty room.
Giles popped his head from around the corner.
“They left, seemed to be in quite a hurry”
“God, they must have heard Xander”
“Heard Xander say what?” By the time he got the words out Buffy was already out the door.
You rushed down the street, trying to get home as fast as possible and leave this terrible night behind you. Tears ran down your cheeks and began to soak your shirt. Through blurred vision you saw a figure in front of you, it was Buffy. Even blurry she looked beautiful.
She took your hand and led you to a nearby bench. You sat down and she just held your hand in yours.
“Why are you with me?” You muttered, your breath so shaky it broke her heart.
“But why? You’re beautiful and smart and amazing, you could be with anyone you wanted”
You scoffed before you looked up to see the sincerity in her eyes.
“You heard Xander, didn’t you?”
“He’s right you know, I do just slow you down”
“No you don’t. You help me keep going when I feel like I can’t. You do everything but slow me down”
“You don’t have to lie to me, I can take it”
“But you’re perfect! I’m nothing”
“You’re my perfect” You didn’t believe her but you saw her eyes, properly this time. You saw the love she carried for you in them, you saw the love you held for her. You saw your home. Buffy leaned in, her lips grazed against yours as though they were asking for permission, which you gladly granted.
