Chapter title from "Breath of Life" by Florence + The Machine

Kiss Prompt: Kisses exchanged as they move around, hitting the edges of tables or nearly tripping over things on the floor before making it to the sofa, or bed


March 2021

"I'm not complaining," Luke manages to get out between kisses as they stumble into their apartment, "but it's very weird that slaying makes you so, uh, enthusiastic."

Julie kicks their door shut behind her and grips his hair between her fingers, jerking his head closer as she tugs on his lower lip with her teeth. "Adrenaline? Destroying the forces of darkness? Not dying? What's not to like?" she pants.

"Some of us can't die," he rasps proudly as he plants fierce kisses across her jaw, making his way to the spot behind her ear.

"Extremely weird brag." As he backs her up into their living room, her hip slams against the corner table. "Ow!"

His hand finds the spot and rubs it. Gentle at first, but quickly morphing into a firmer grip as he yanks their hips together and tries to spin her in the other direction. Only to knock them into their floor lamp. "Ow!" she cries.

He rubs her head, clutching her close as he tries to maneuver them to the couch. But his foot catches on the carpet and he stumbles back into their coffee table, going through it. As he falls backwards, he accidentally pulls her with him and her shin bangs into the sharp corner.

"Ow!"

She jerks out of the kiss and clutches her shin, trying to rub the pain out of the bone. Then she pauses, eyeing the path they took. "Wait, have you been phasing through stuff this whole time?"

He chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Um…"

"What the hell!? Not fair!"

His face twitches up guiltily before he shrugs tentatively. "Don't I deserve some perks for the whole being dead thing?"

She shoves him back onto their couch with more Slayer strength than is maybe necessary. He tumbles over easily, landing on his back with a pout.

"I thought I was the perk."

A lazy smirk spreads across his face as he slides his gaze up her. "Yeah, you're pretty good." She hops onto the couch, settling her knees on either side of his hips. But as she bends over and captures his mouth again, he laughs against her lips, "But the phasing's a close second."


No Buffy references in this, but it accidentally turned into "Firebomb" from Alias.

There will be more Julie the Vampire Slayer fics to come in the future!
