The Halliwell Manor, Monday morning

[izzyalienqueen]

As the night wore on, Isabel couldn't help but wish for the weirdness to be over. She was tired, her hand hurt and Fork kept skulking about. She was fairly certain he was either looking for another drink, this time straight from her neck or a chance to get past her and out into the city.

Eventually, as the sun came up, Isabel relaxed enough to fall into a light sleep on the sun room couch. Her last thought was a wish that when she woke up, she'd have her boyfriend back.

When Wyatt woke up, his first thoughts were oh please let it have been a dream I wasn't a vampire and I didn't try to bite Isabel and it's just Saturday morning, right?

Still in denial, he got up and went looking for Isabel, stepping into beams of sunlight with some trepidation, just in case.

Isabel heard the movement and raised her hand (the bandaged one) defensively before she even opened her eyes.

"I will kick your ass if I have to."

One eye cracked open and studied Wyatt in the sunlight. "You're you," she smiled.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt sank down in the closest chair. "It wasn't a dream?" he said.

"No, it wasn't," Isabel replied as she got to her feet. "Fandom weirdness struck again. It was amusing at least."

Crossing the room, she sat on the arm of the chair. "How are you feeling?"

[blessed_twice]

"Kind of sick to my stomach," Wyatt said. "I'm sorry."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nothing to be sorry for," Isabel said immediately, sliding from the arm of the chair and into Wyatt's lap. "He only looked like you. He wasn't you. Not at all."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt wrapped his arms around her. "Why am I always evil or gay?" he said sorrowfully.

"It's one of life's great mysteries," she replied, nuzzling his neck. "It makes me very happy that I got you though."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt caught her wrist and stared at her hand. "You gave me -- him -- blood," he said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel shrugged a shoulder. "He was hungry. And I didn't know for sure how long he could go without eating. I didn't want to risk not getting you back."

[blessed_twice]

"I'm not sure if I should feel guilty or say thank you," Wyatt said. He gently wrapped his hand around hers, using his powers to heal her wound.

Feeling the pain disappear, Isabel pulled the bandage off her hand and flexed it. "How about I say thank you and we call it even?"

[blessed_twice]

"Thanks for making sure I didn't get out and hurt anyone," Wyatt sighed, squeezing his arms around her again.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I didn't want you to wake up this morning with anything to regret." She squeezed back, content. "I'm sorry for beating the hell out of you with a frying pan and locking you in a closet."

[blessed_twice]

"I deserved it," Wyatt said, wincing a little at the memory. "I was a jackass. And a dangerous one. Why can't I turn into a superhero or a swashbuckling pirate or a knight in shining armor for a change?"

"There's always next year?" Isabel had to laugh at the fact that insanity had become normal. Which made her think of something else. "We need to find out when prom is."

[blessed_twice]

"Why, got a hot date?" Wyatt grinned. He was starting to feel a little better, mostly because he hadn't hurt Isabel or anyone else. Drinking her blood was still a little squicky, however.

Isabel had compartmentalized it as a particularly icky protein shake. That's her story and she was sticking to it.

"Think about it. This stuff seems to repeat from year to year. Which means we might be getting a little visitor the morning after prom." She was surprised at how much she hoped it actually happened.

[blessed_twice]

"Good point, we don't want to miss that," Wyatt said. "It would be nice if we could plot out when all Fandom weirdness is going to happen."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm getting a calendar and starting to mark off weekends of potential weirdness," Isabel grinned. "Of course that doesn't help plan for the random stuff that happens. Unexpected wee baby animals are unexpected."

[blessed_twice]

"As long as it isn't my girlfriend turning into a wee baby animal," Wyatt said.

Isabel shuddered, remembering a very bad week in Fandom. "I did spend a week as a dog once."

[blessed_twice]

"I was some kind of rodent," Wyatt said. "Cute, but a rodent."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"With a wiggly little nose? Please tell me there are pictures."

[blessed_twice]

"I don't think Anders took any," Wyatt said, foolishly pointing Isabel in the direction to go looking for photographic evidence. "He definitely didn't take any when I woke up human with him in his bed."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel had woken up and not been a dog one morning. She knew what that meant. She also knew Wyatt liked to snuggle as he started to wake up. "Oh my god, the flailing had to have been epic!"

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt made a face. "Yeah," he said, "epic. I think I was scarred for life."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Awww, poor baby." She tipped her head and nipped at his lip. "Hopefully all those mornings you've woken up snuggling with me have helped you work through the trauma."

[blessed_twice]

"You," Wyatt said, kissing her, "are infinitely more cuddly than Anders."

"Too bad I have an 8:30 class or we could do some cuddling to make up for what we missed this weekend." Although the idea of skipping class and going up to bed was very tempting.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt encouraged that line of thought. "I didn't get to spend any time with you," he complained. "C'mon, you can skip class this once."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It is incredibly tempting," she admitted. "It's going to be a very long few days till Saturday. Some cuddling to hold me over till then would be nice."

[blessed_twice]

"I am at your service for all your cuddling needs," Wyatt said, nuzzling her neck.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Twelve hours ago that move would have gotten you, well him, tossed into the wall." But that was then. Now, Isabel let her head fall back and purred. "Nibble away. I'll get class notes from Kathy."

[blessed_twice]

"Only I'm allowed to nibble your neck," Wyatt said. "No fangs allowed."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I like that idea," she smiled. "So take me to bed and nibble away."
