"I mean I'm sorry it's just, all that sweating nightly side by side action and you never put in for a little after hours ERRH!" Faith asked, with a fierce grunt at the end. Buffy blushed at the thought, but it definitely had nothing to do with Xander in her head. She quickly shook it off and shook her head at the older slayer.

"No!..." she disagreed, though not very whole heartedly as thoughts kept finding their way into her head. Thoughts that completely contradicted the opinion she had just expressed on the matter. She looked down at the ground shyly trying not to meet Faith's eyes with her own, when she noticed footprints in the mud. Reaching out she grabbed Faith's hand to stop her from leaving and pulled her back.

"Wait, there's one more..." Buffy whispered, pointing to the footprints and leading faith along their trail to where on was hiding silently, still holding onto her hand "on the count of three; one.." but before she could finish Faith leapt up over the tombstone they'd been crouched behind leaving Buffy's hand empty as she watched her go. She sighed as Faith rushed at the vampire, soon being knocked off her feet as the vamp towered over her, drawn swords gleaming in the moonlight as he now had the advantage. At that Buffy quickly rushed to attack him, catching him off guard as she ran at him from behind. His swords cut right through her small wooden stake like butter before, with one swift sweep she kicked his swords from his hands. They clattered to the ground now leaving them both weaponless as the sound of metal on metal rang out before fading into the night. Sweat soon dripped from Buffy's forehead as they traded blows, this was no ordinary vampire. Just as he had Buffy pressed up against a large tombstone Faith managed to get back on her feet, leaping at him with a stake clenched tightly in her outstretched hand. The vampire dissolved to dust before her but Faith kept going, crashing into Buffy and pressing her up harder against the tombstone as she came to a stop. Buffy swallowed loudly as faith gave her a huge grin, her face barley a centimeters from Buffy's. Buffy could feel the red rising in her cheeks as she tried not to think about Faith's toned, sweaty body pressed up against hers. Her eyes locked on faith's chocolate brown ones. The blonde's breath caught in her throat as she felt the brunette's strong hands wrap gently around her waist before Faith quickly pulled away. Buffy watched as she stood back up, brushing the moment off and fixing her hair.

"Who where those guys anyway?" she asked quickly to try and kill the awkwardness now hanging in the air and steadily building tension between them that had started the moment they'd met. The moment she'd first seen the sweet blonde at the bronze and the walls she'd built up around her heart almost came crumbling to the ground. The walls it had taken years to slowly build up and she had never wanted to let down, until now.

"I don't know, I'll ask Giles tomorrow" Buffy shrugged lightly at Faith, her now messy blonde hair falling in her face. She blew up at it, annoyed and angry at the out of place hair that refused to go back. Faith's face softened as she watched Buffy and couldn't help but think how adorably cute she was in her confusion.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow at the library then" she quickly replied and with a small wave she left, she couldn't let her feelings for Buffy get the better of her. The girl was straight as a... something that's incredibly straight, like a ruler? She sighed as she walked away, disappearing from the street light into the pitch black beyond.

"Yea, night..." Buffy whispered into the night air where Faith had been only moments ago but was now far off, headed home. This wasn't like Faith, she usually walked her home first. It's not that Buffy needed someone to walk her home and if had been anyone else she'd have thrown a tantrum about how she wasn't a helpless little girl. She was a slayer and she could walk home on her own. But she liked Faith walking her home, it was one of the highlights of her day.
