Patient (a drabble)
I am old and infinitely patient.
I sit quietly on her bed. Waiting.
Days, weeks, months pass. Still, I wait.
Then, finally, the day comes, and she returns.
When she embraces me, I notice. She feels different. Smells
different. She
even hugs different. The others don't notice. I do because
I'm special. And
not just because I've shared her bed. Her love has changed me,
transformed me,
made more than I was.
So, if she's a little different, I don't mind. I'm just glad to have her back
Old and infinitely patient, I am Mr. Gordo. And I am real.

Notes: ToD fic. The challenge was:
In the several years that I have been reading fanfic, I've come across
several fics written from...unusual...viewpoints. For example : Fox
Mulders glasses. Or Scully's bra. And one that was written from the
viewpoint of Chakotay's pillow.
I dare you to write such a fanfic in the Buffyverse. The only
requirement is that the object you choose is not alive in any way,
shape or form. (No demons that just happen to look like footstools!
:)
SO...
I figured a person cursed into being an inanimate object would be cheating
too- and Spike's duster was SOOOO tempting but very much the easy way
out-
so -poof-
