Drabble: In The Dark (Giles, G)

Title: In The Dark
Author: [info]truly_tazi
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Character/Pairing: Giles
Rating: G

He watches over them, their mentor.

No matter how brave or strong they are, at the end of the day they’re still far too young for the roles they’ve taken on.

During the day he guides them, teaches them. Impresses upon them the importance of researching, training. Hoping to pass on his own strength, knowledge so they may be stronger for it.

But at night, in the dark, he will let go, let the tears fall, for he knows... No matter what he does... No matter how strong they get... They will fall. One by one. And he will watch.

What a beautifully poignant insight into Giles' acknowledgement of his role as a Watcher.

Awww so sad for him to know he was going to have to watch them all fall.
