Chapter one
"Moving on up, moving on up!" Xander sang as he and Faith carried the bed in through the door.
"To a deluxe apartment in the sky!" He rang out and Faith stopped to put the bed down.
"Would you quit singing that song already!" She yelled and he stopped immediately. They had been moving in furniture for Buffy and Faith's new house now for a good hour, the whole time Xander singing the only two verses of the song he knew.
When the girls had first arrived back to sunnydale they hadn't been in a big rush to tell Joyce they were together. In fact, they waited a good two months. Also around the time when they had started planning to get an apartment. She hadn't taken it lightly. There was screaming and some harsh words said but in the end, Buffy's mom said she would love her no matter what. Since that time Faith and Joyce had grown a little closer as well. They occasionally talked and discussed one of the things they had in common, Buffy. That's when both sides really saw the love they both held for her.
"Ok now come on." Faith said as she picked the bed up. Xander began to hum now.
Inside
"Should I put the couch over there or on this side. Oh wait, maybe over there!" Buffy said pointing.
"I don't know Buff, really up to you." Willow replied as Xander and Faith walked in with the bed.
"This moving stuff is so hard." She sighed as Faith struggled to open the bedroom door.
"Can somebody get that door?" Xander asked them. Both of the girls turned around.
"Oh, sorry honey," Buffy replied and opened the door for her.
"Uh, really, no problem babe." Faith said as she walked in. Faith sighed, they finally had gotten all the furniture in now. Buffy walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her neck.
"Our own place." She whispered and Faith nodded.
"Yep." Buffy smiled and moved to look at her face.
"Ready to help me arrange things now?" She asked excitedly and Faith groaned. She peered at the small living room and kitchen that connected to it.
"It looks fine how it is. Why do you wanna change it for?" Buffy pouted.
"It looks fine but it could be better." She insisted and Faith rolled her eyes.
"You won't quit till everything is perfect will you?" She asked and Buffy smirked.
"Nope." She said and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Come on just the living room." She said and took her hand as Xander and Willow made they're way to the door.
"Well we're going to go.Getting kind of late." Xander said and Faith glared at him.
"Ok, bye guys." They both waved and exited the apartment.
"He just left because you wanted to do the living room." She grumbled and Buffy smiled.
"I know." She said happily and opened up the box with their sheets in it.
"Why are you in that box for?" She asked curiously as she kneeled beside her.
"Guess." She replied and walked into there bedroom to the bed. Faith followed her and watched as the blonde placed the sheet over the mattress which currently had nothing to hold it up underneath.
"We're not going to put shit up in the living room are we?" Faith smiled as Buffy put a pillow case on some of the pillows.
"uh uh." She grinned and threw the pillow on the mattress. Faith walked behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. She kissed her neck softly up to her ear.
"What'd ya have in mind then?"
"Well..." She said as she turned around in her arms.
"I was thinking you-" She pointed to Faith "could help me." she pointed to herself.
"I'm liking this so far." She said as they both began to lay on the bed. Faith placed both hands on either side of Buffy's head and nuzzled her neck as the blonde giggled.
"So what exactly do you need help with?" Faith asked smiling widely.
"Oh I don't know-" She said and grabbed the back of Faith's head to kiss her. They pulled apart and Buffy began to mess with the top button of her shirt.
"These clothes are kind of bothering right now. Wonder if you could help me with that?"
"Yeah, I think I can." She replied as she undid the buttons slowly.
"Time to break in the new bed." Faith whispered to her before she caught her lips.
Later...
Both girls laid naked underneath a thin sheet as they spooned together. Buffy began to play with Faith's fingers as she seemed to be thinking. Faith kissed the back of her head and rested her chin on her shoulder.
"Thinkin good thoughts I hope." Faith said.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about how I'll never get tired of this. You know... being with you." Buffy responded and Faith couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, neither will I." The brunette said as Buffy turned around in her arms. Faith placed her hands on the small of Buffy's back as she scooted in closer to her.
"Night B."
"Night."
