Everything had started out innocently enough, Willow was in the middle of her latest photography challenge, using Oz and his friend Devon were kind enough to shoot some behind the scenes videos for her almost every time, helping boost some of her social media accounts and just giving her something fun to play with. Well, due to all of that, she had often times enlisted her friends to be models as well as her boyfriends' friends, classmates, random strangers, friends of friends... honestly whoever was willing to play a part in the whole mess.

And that would be how Buffy wound up roped into her first session. Willow had finally drawn her name from the hat and was putting her in a Halloween themed shoot which sounded more fun than any of the others her best friend had mentioned doing so far.

The whole thing had been a blind shoot otherwise, Willow had no idea what she was dressing up as until she got there, or her partner in this. Buffy had no idea who she was doing the photos with or where until right before she drove out. She and the other person were taken off for some last minute touch ups then blindfolded back to back as Willow went over the rules and the plans quickly, then the introduction happened.

Oh, and Willow had made a crack about their costumes which when she turned around couldn't help but take noticed of her own self. She being dressed up as a kick ass demon hunter, and the most handsome man she was pretty sure to grace the planet who was suddenly standing quite talley in front of her was bangin' out in one heck of a vampire get up.

It couldn't have been planned out any better.

The sun was bright enough for the shoot but dark enough to give it that spooky vibe, Willow had shuffled them quickly over to a different section of the park they were at to be closer to one of the more random statues it had to offer, oh and the two of them seemed to have some sort of instant chemistry going on that had her heart racing and wondering where in the hell this damn man had come from.

She'd had a wonderful time doing the mini shoot with Angel as her partner and almost hated when it ended just as they were really starting to loosen up a little with each other and easing into conversation and laughing at one another in between photos and almost hated when Willow said she got everything and they were free to continue back with lives as normal.

But, all the same, she had thanked him for the wonderful time, whispered to Willow how cute she thought her blind date there had been and hoped she'd make it to the party later, hugged Oz real quick and went about her way.

OoOoO

Buffy put her hand over her face, blushing impossibly hard as she scrolled through some of the comments coming through on Willow's website and some of her other accounts once she'd been notified they were live now, all edits done and ready for the public.

Apparently she was far from the only one thinking there was some sort of spark that happened there but she wasn't quite ready for this kind of response all the same!

OoOoO

The second time she crossed paths with Angel was another surprise set up. This time Willow was doing a capture the kiss challenge featuring a mix of random people meeting for the first time, and a mix of couples she'd used for shoots before... again she had no idea where she was or what she was getting herself into until the moment actual came upon her and she about lost her shit when she spun around for the second time and saw him there.

He looked just as surprised but didn't seem to mind a damn bit either, raising an eyebrow just a moment before stepping closer to her.

Everything happened so fast and yet she'd felt like she was watching it play out before her eyes in some sort of slow motion filter or something, Her heart pounded so hard in her chest as his arms easily wrapped around her, pulling her closer to him, his lips slanting over hers as if that was the most natural damn thing on the planet.

Her arms seemed to move on their own, circling lazily around his neck just before he lifted her up and her legs wrapped around his waist. Some sort of foreign noise escaped from her lips just before he used that opportunity to slip his warm tongue inside of her mouth and nearly make her drunk off the new taste of him.

OoOoO

Their third date shoot had been the least planned out of all of them, she wasn't even supposed to be in it but then a last minute mishap happened with Cordelia and she got a frantic call from Willow about her deadline for the clothes the room she'd booked, how much time she had to get the photos done, edited, sent off... and eventually she caved.

This one had taken a bit more convincing though as Willow was being sponsored for a shoot... by a lingerie company.

She knew Willow wasn't about to go put anyone in any sort of uncomfortable light, let alone her best friend, but it was still something to feel a little weary about going in.

OoOoO

"I look like Scary Spice," Buffy whispered to Angel as she made her way closer to where he was, currently still wrapped up in the largest bath towel she'd ever laid eyes on, covering most of the one outfit left that managed to properly fit her.

Angel chuckled and promised her that he was sure she looked fine. She however just kept picturing that doll with the zebra print outfit... while she didn't have an animal print on she certainly felt like it was in similar style though and wasn't sure how exactly she felt about that in general.

Fussing with her hair, he tried to ease her anxiousness some more by making small talk, including a light joke about how it'd been awhile since they'd seen one another.

Glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, she smirked and mentioned seeing him in one of Willow's other pieces just a couple weeks beforehand.

Angel blushed a little. "Yeah," he said slowly then chuckled again. "I'm pretty sure the entire internet following turned against me on that for apparently cheating on you."

Laughing her own self, Buffy shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know what to tell ya!"

OoOoO

"I don't exactly have a habit of being half naked in front of men... let alone stranger men," Buffy whispered, fighting he urge to raise her arms up in some attempt to cover herself back up.

"You're okay," Angel whispered back softly and she couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if she might as well have been naked any damn way with how he was looking at her. "It is our third date after all, right?" he joked and she rolled her eyes at him, just as Willow announced once again she didn't want anyone feeling uncomfortable and if push came to shove she would stop all of this at the word, deleted any and everything anyone didn't want existing out there in the world.

Strangely enough, it didn't take long after he reached for her and made her feel as though they were transported into another world to make all of this seem a little less daunting. Crawling up into his lap felt natural, his fingers against her skin, his lips matching up with hers...

OoOoO

"This might seem wildly inappropriate," Angel whispered after Willow had cleared them but neither seemed to care much, remaining locked up together on the very large bed, ignoring the fact there were a handful of other people scattered around and how bizarre everything was to begin with, "but I'm pretty sure I'd go home and spend the next however long until I see you again kicking myself like all the other times... if I didn't ask so... what are you doing after this?"

Buffy swallowed hard then shrugged her shoulders. "I-I didn't exactly have much in the way of plans really. Maybe going home and finding a movie to watch and entertain myself with for awhile until bed."

His dark brown eyes stared at her for a long time before asking her how she might feel about going out to a movie instead, and, you know, with him.

OoOoO

Not entirely surprising... she'd agreed to the actual date, had gone home and changed and the whole works... but they only made it about halfway through the show when finishing what was going on during their last meet up from earlier just seemed way more interesting.
