Faith felt a lot for Buffy. Buffy had no idea how much Faith looked
up and respected her. Faith felt protective at Buffy. She didn't want to
see Buffy get hurt by anyone. When Scott had dumped Buffy, she had seeked
a small revenge.
Faith glances around and sees Scott behind her dancing with a girl.
Faith: (to Willow, indicating behind them) Sleazebag! (huffs and walks off)
Faith moves around the table, and the camera follows her over to Scott. He is dancing slow and close with his date.
Faith touches the couple, and they pull apart.
Faith: Scott? There you are, honey!
Faith: Hey, good news.
Faith: (with lots of gesturing) The doctor says that the itching and the swelling and the burning should clear up, (puts her hands on his chest) but we gotta keep using the ointment.
Scott's date isn't sure what to make of that. Faith turns to her and touches her on the shoulder.
Faith: Hi.
She turns back to Scott, grabs him by the lapels and gives him a little pull. She lets go of him and walks away. Scott turns back to his date, thoroughly embarrassed.
Scott: Uh...
Faith grinned knowing Buffy had been avenged. Buffy didn't need Scott, all men were scum. That's what she had said to Buffy when they went patrolling for the first time. Buffy and Faith would patrol together most nights. Telling Willow and Xander now that there were two slayers they could cover each other. In truth they just wanted alone time. They'd often stop in the middle of a patrol to undress each other under the light of the moon and just rapture each other.
If they didn't do that they'd go off to Faith's hotel room and nearly break the bed under their ecstasy and enthusiasm. Her friends didn't know but some of the time she cut classes was because she needed to see Faith. Faith would know sometimes and just show up, grinning and they'd do what Cordelia and Xander used to do. Find the nearest janitor's closet and make better use of it.
Buffy was Faith's now as far as Faith was concerned. Everyone noticed that Buffy stopped looking at guys, searching for someone new after Angel. There was a change in Buffy. Everyone saw it.
Willow: (nervously tries to cover) Hey! Speaking of people and things they do that aren't like usual, anyone notice Buffy acting sort of different?
Oz grimaces at the drink and puts the cup back on the table.
Xander: Let's see, uh, killing zombies... uh, torching sewer monsters, and... No, that's pretty much the, uh, (grins weakly) same old Buffster.
Willow: (concerned) Well, I just mean, you know, she's off by herself a lot more, and she's kind of... distracted.
Cordelia: (smiles) Think maybe she has a new honey?
Willow: A boyfriend? Why wouldn't she tell us?
Cordelia: Excuse me? When your last steady killed half the class, and then your rebound guy sends you a dump-o-gram? It makes a girl shy.
Xander: But we're the best of Buffy's bestest buds. She'd tell us.
Buffy: (arrives behind them) Tell you what?
Willow: About your new boyfriend, who we made up. Unless we didn't? (gives her an inquiring look)
Buffy: (raises her eyebrows) This was a topic of discussion?
Oz: Well, raised, but never discussed.
Cordelia: So, are you dating somebody or not?
Buffy angles her eyes up and sways around a bit, considering what she should say.
Buffy: I wouldn't use the word 'dating', (looks at them) but I am going out with somebody. Tonight, as a matter of fact.
Willow: Really? Who?
Faith puts her hand on Xander's shoulder and pulls him aside a little so she can squeeze in.
Faith: Yo, what's up? (nudges Buffy's shoulder) Hey, time to motorvate.
Buffy: (puts her arm around Faith) Really, we're just good friends.
The two Slayers head out of the club together.
It gave Buffy a thrill to tell joke about it with her friends. They had no idea that her and Faith were so much more then friends. Faith was constantly referring to Buffy as her girlfriend. Buffy always grinned at that. Their friends just writing it off as Faith speech. They wrote off so much about Faith and Buffy's relationship. Ignoring things or just choosing not to see. People in Sunnydale saw what they want to saw, no matter how much they knew about the real Sunnydale.
Buffy placed a few more pictures on the growing pile of Faith photos. She couldn't help but stare at each one, wondering when it was that Faith had stopped being hers. Wondering when Faith had slipped from her grasp and started to betray her. Maybe Faith had known Buffy didn't really love her in that way. Faith was fun, someone she could have all to herself. No one would ever know about the two of them. Ever. She knew Faith had cared about her more then she cared for Faith. But Buffy would never tell Faith her real feelings, knowing Faith she would've skipped town. Looking back maybe that would have been better then what she did do.
