Drabble: Anya's Annoyed

Title: Anya's Annoyed
Characters: Xander and Anya
Season: Mid of S7



"That's weird. Why isn't there a fuss?"

Xander looked at the bickering potentials before raising an eyebrow.

Anya hit him on the arm. "You know what I mean!"

"Ow." He rubbed his arm. "And I don't."

She grimaced. "Men."

He chose not to ask for his sanity. At night right when he was leaving, Anya stood next to the door, pouting. "It's not fair. How come no one said anything?"

He sighed. "What is it?"

Her finger started drawing circles on the wall.

"Anya?"

"Oh, happy friggin' birthday." She walked away quickly.

He didn't even remember today was his birthday.

Aww. How cute. :)

Thanks :) During S7, there's so much to worry about that everybody forgot about small things like birthdays and holidays. It's the only season where there's no mention of Buffy's birthday party (besides S1)

But that's so sad! You're right, apart from the weirdly random Christmas reference s7 doesn't have those celebrations the others do. Which is terribly symbolic and all, but not very nice when you think about it.

I love Anya. Always glad to see her.

Yeah, poor kids. :(

Thank you for the feedback :)

Ow. To forget one's own birthday - that's sad. Poor Xan.

This was the only season where Buffy didn't celebrate her birthday. They've got so much going on to think about something else. :(
