i know love, it is such a funny thing
dawn-centric, dawn & buffy, dawn & willow, past faith/buffy
All of Dawn's crushes had at one point been obsessed with Buffy. Not that Xander went anywhere with her despite trying a lot, but, like, Dawn had been head over heels for Spike and he’d been boinking Buffy the whole time. And even when it was some random high school boy like RJ, Buffy still won! Which, massive ew. Couldn’t the jacket have filtered for age? And sexual orientation also, now that she was thinking about it. This time, though, there’s no way Buffy can steal her crush, for a few reasons: 1. High schooler. And Dawn is pretty sure this crush doesn’t have any magically enhanced pieces of clothing, so hopefully there’s not going to be a repeat of those unfortunate events. 2. She’s so not telling Buffy about it. It’ll be her own, private secret that won’t get messed up by all the Chosen One stuff. Shoot, she might’ve just jinxed it. 3. Girl. The crush is a girl, and Buffy’s not like that.
Or: Dawn has a crush on a girl, and she opens up to Willow. Because Buffy can't relate. Right?
