🏆 [#62 IN BUFFYTHEVAMPIRESLAYER] AU. When Dawn discovers she has been used by her crush for a bet while at the Spring Fling Dance held at the Bronze, she is humiliated and flees to the park, where she then meets none other than... Yami Bakura. Luck...
Dawn blinked, puzzled, and then looked up at Yami Bakura's outstretched hand. Finally, after thinking it over some more for a bit, she then reached up and placed her hand in his.
"Besides," he went on as he pulled her to her feet, "I think you're beautiful, and you always will be."
Dawn blushed. "Really?"
He nodded.
Dawn wanted to be sure — just in case, to be exact. "Did you say I was beautiful?"
Again Yami Bakura nodded. "Of course you are. After all, you are someone special — not to just anyone, but especially me. I see you, Dawn, as — how should I put this — my cosmic soulmate."
Dawn then smiled at those words. Someone wanted "invisible", "plain" and "undeserving" Dawn Summers as a girlfriend.
With that, and smiling still, Dawn looked at Yami Bakura, her eyes filled with happiness, as he then turned and led her out of the park.
"Now," he said, breaking the silence after a few minutes as they headed to Dawn's home, "tell me your side of the story about why you were so upset before."
Dawn took a deep breath and began by saying, "Therein lies the tale," which made Yami Bakura smile. He always liked that line, and thought it'd make a good opening line for a story or a novella.
Then Dawn launched into the story of how she came to be sitting on the swings at the park when he found her. Yami Bakura, she found out, was a good listener as well as a great audience. Sometimes he looked angry, and sometimes shocked, in all the right parts.
When Dawn finished her tale, he turned to her and said, "Well, look at it this way, Dawn — something good did happen to you tonight. You found someone who loves you regardless of your flaws — namely, me."
Dawn though this over and then smiled. Apparently, Yami Bakura was right. This night most definitely was, to her, a blessing in disguise.

Three thirty in the morning Not a soul in sight The city's lookin' like a ghost town On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield There's a storm moving in He's headin' back from somewhere That he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown Askin' for a miracle Hopin' she's not right Prayin' it's the weather That has kept him out all night And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain A strange new perfume blows And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls
