Rating: PG for angst and f/f pairing
Summery: Just a drabble, set whenever, Faith POV.
Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy, Faith or anything else BTVS related. Joss said let there be scripts and they were good, they were very, very, good.
I took me twenty seconds to realize I loved you.
It wasn't when I pulled that vamp off of you, dusting him before he even knew there were two of us.
It wasn't when I held out my hand, and you actually took it, or when I pulled you up a little to hard and you stumbled into me.
It wasn't when you remained standing a little too close and I took the moment to lean over and kiss you.
It wasn't when you started kissing back.
It wasn't when you pulled away, breathing too hard and staring at me like you'd never seen me before.
It wasn't when you threw that right hook, the one I didn't notice till it was too late.
It was only when I was on the ground, tasting the blood in my mouth, watching you fade in the distance, that I realized how much trouble I was in.
