Not Normal (Fred & Connor drabble, G)

[electricalgwen]

Today's Connor drabble day over at good__evil and so my (probably) last contribution to madame_meretrix's first line meme went in his direction. First line of this is hers.


Not Normal

“You’ll love this.” Fred pushed the tiny, elegant box across the table at him. “Chocolate! Just try it.”

Connor politely took one of the tiny, elegant truffles.

“This is one of the things I missed most in Pylea,” she said dreamily. “I mean, I missed my family, clean clothes, showers… but at night, I dreamed of chocolate.” She popped one into her own mouth and closed her eyes in quiet bliss.

She opened them just in time to see Connor spit his into a tissue.

“You don’t like it?” She looked appalled. “Wes, are you sure he’s not part demon?”

I don't think Connor's a demon. No idea on demons in general and chocolate... hmm, do we have any canonical examples? One thing that springs to mind is Angel, the day where he's human (is that season 1?) - I seem to recall a mention of how things all taste different (Buffy's feeding him peanut butter or something.) If human food doesn't taste the same to vampires... maybe chocolate isn't appealing!

Though obviously Connor isn't a vampire either. He's grown up elsewhere, with completely different tastes, though.

Thanks - for the prompts, and the fb! It has been fun to see where these lines might go.
