Buffy was doing housework; Dawn was at school and then she would be going over to a friend's house. Buffy's weekend was wide, gaping open and she had nothing to fill it with. So she was decreasing the dust population instead of increasing it for once. Dressed in her scruffiest old clothing, she was mercilessly annihilating dust bunnies left and right with the help of her trusty vacuum cleaner.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, Xander was on his way to her house. He, also, was lonely, seeing as how he'd broken it off with Anya recently, and he was thinking maybe she'd like his company. Buffy, the woman he'd been head over heels with ever since they'd first met and he'd stupidly asked if he could have her. He still meant to eventually, but he'd given up hope of being anything more than just friends at the moment.
He knocked on her door and a few seconds later she answered. She wasn't dressed in anything special but somehow that made her all the more beautiful to him. He smiled and went to open his mouth, when she spoke.
"Xander, you know you don't have to knock… Come on in, I just bought some of those cookies you like so much, they're in the kitchen." She led him there and proceeded to grab the box of cookies and offer them up to Xander's rumbling stomach…
Xander immediately took one and stuffed it in his mouth, eating it and then smiling. "Thanks, Buff, you really know how to take care of a guy."
Buffy grinned and retorted, "Any time little man.."
"Oh, you are calling me little?"
That was it, Xander knew he'd overstepped a boundary. Buffy was sensitive about her size. She flew into him in a tackle, and they landed on the floor with Buffy pinning him. Xander struggled for a moment and then admitted defeat. "Okay, so I can't get up right now. That still doesn't make me a little man."
"Puh-lease, Xan. If we were married you'd be the woman of the house," Buffy teased, all the while thinking to herself that she was making a moron out of herself big time. –Jeez Buff, way to go. Now get your mind out of the gutter.- she thought, looking down at Xander.
"Is that a proposal, Ms. Summers?"
"Only if you say yes." Buffy couldn't believe she'd said that, but it had definitely come out of her mouth.
Xander blushed and searched desperately for a comeback to that one, but he couldn't find one. He was too distracted by Buffy's having him pinned to the ground. He was pretty sure he'd had a dream like this the night before. But he'd better not be dreaming now. It would destroy him.
Buffy, for lack of anything to say, leaned down and planted a deep kiss on him. Xander slipped his arms around her, deepening the kiss. Buffy sucked his tongue into her mouth, teasing it with her own, and all Xander could do is whimper and kiss her harder. The kiss lasted about ten minutes until the need for oxygen overrode their need for each other.
"Sorry, Ms. Summers. I'm not falling for your little schemes. I want you to have a normal day like a normal girl would. We've got all the time in the world for this." Xander said when Buffy tried to kiss him again.
Buffy flushed and broke out into a grin.
"We're going to lunch, then we're going to go shopping at the mall, and then I've got a surprise for you."
"What's the surprise?" Buffy asked, as any girl would.
"Nuh-uh. You can find out later."
Buffy grinned and leaned down for another kiss; Xander complied for a moment and then broke it. "Not falling for your tricks, Summers."
"You sure you want to brave the mall for me?" Buffy teased. "It's sort of no-man's land."
"For you, I'll even brave the dangers of the mall."
"Oh right, mister, 'I laugh in the face of danger and then I hide until it goes away,'" Buffy teased.
"Well no danger is too great for you, Buffy," Xander shot back.
"Aw… Xander…" Buffy grinned and leaned in for another kiss, but Xander stood up and pulled her after him.
"Get in my car now, woman," Xander teased.
"Just let me go get changed since I'm covered in dust and stuff.." Buffy grinned at Xander and then rushed off upstairs. Xander stood there in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Buffy was looking for the most alluring outfit she had. When she had it, she knew Xander would love it. Cream leather miniskirt, and I do mean mini; black leather shirt with elbow sleeves that zips up the front; silver waist chain. Buffy slipped into the clothing, opting to skip wearing a bra since the shirt was so tight. Then she went through her collection of affordable yet oh-so-stylish footwear, eventually coming up with a pair of black suede knee boots. She knew Xander would like the outfit. She slipped into the clothing she'd selected, zipping the shirt up to a point where it hinted of cleavage but Xander would have to work to see any more.
Downstairs, Xander was growing impatient. He was hungry as usual and Buffy was taking a long time. He knew it would be worth it in the end, but he still didn't like waiting. He was about to call upstairs when she appeared. His jaw dropped and all the blood rushed out of his head. BOY was he glad he was wearing baggy pants today. "B-Buffy, you look GREAT," he stammered.
Buffy grinned at him. "Thanks."
"No need for thanks. I mean it."
Buffy blushed. "I'm guessing you're hungry, so maybe we'd better go."
"Where do you wanna go?"
"Remember that café we used to go to all the time in high school? I haven't been there in a while, so I'd like to go there if you didn't mind."
"No, that sounds great, Buff."
Buffy smiled and leaned in to kiss Xander. He fell for it and ended up kissing her for about ten minutes straight-again- until he realized what they were doing. "No way, Summers. Not falling for it. Get in the car."
Buffy smiled and went out the door. Xander rushed out after her and opened the passenger's side door for her. Then, things all kind of went all wavery, and Xander sat up in bed at his apartment.
It had been all a dream.
