"Alright, but let's move, 'cause I think I'm gonna hurl . "Faith conceded,
grabbing her stomach
"Ewww . " And several quick moments later the blond slayer was pounding on the red-heads door .
"Dammit this better be an emergency ! " Willow yelled angrily . Her emotion seeming out of place in her petite frame, encased in cloudy flannel pajamas . "Oh God, is something wrong ? " she asked concerned .
"Well I'm fine . Faith, however, needs a place to crash . "
"Wow, what happened to her ? "
"From what I gather, a bottle and a half of hard liquor . " Buffy said dragging her fellow slayer into Willow's living room and dropping her heavily onto the couch, getting a sick groan out of Faith .
"I'd stay and help, but I promised mom I'd be home by 12 o'clock, and I really don't want to tell her I was late because I was holding Faith's hair back . My mom still thinks she's a good kid . I gotta motor or I'm gonna be late . Bye . "
"Okay ." Willow started, her perky voice filling the room "So, Faith . Why ya drunk ? "
"Cause, I'm not smart enough to figure out what to do anymore . "
"Do about what ? " the red-head asked, confusion furrowing her brow .
"Her, my Goddess . The woman who stole my heart . " the slayer responded, crying, as she twisted off the cap and raised the half full bottle of tequila to her lips .
"Wait a minute ." The wiccan reached for the bottle but missed when Faith pulled it away ."You're drunk because you're in love . That's pretty pathetic . Listen to me Faith, you've got a lot to offer someone . You're beautiful, you're streetwise, you're strong, and you've got a wicked sense of humor . Any guy or girl would be lucky to have you . You're the slayer, act like it . Tell her how you feel . "
"I can't ." the brunette replied meakly
"Why the hell not ? "
"Because . She's beautiful . I look at her, and I can't breath . Just seeing her makes me feel like my chest will explode . She's so beautiful, just looking at her makes me feel like I'm dying . She's so smart . She could be anybody . Do anything . Have anything she wanted , but she doesn't talk down to me . She makes me feel like I can be a better person . She's funny in a quirky sort of way . It's so cute . She knows the truth about me and this town, but she's still so innocent . She's not cynical, or angry, or anything like that . She's just... perfect . "
"Faith tell her that . Everything you just told me . If she's half as good as she sounds, she's worth the risk . You need to go for it ."
"I already told her . I didn't mean to, it just sort of came out ."
"What'd she say ? Is that why you're drunk, because she didn't return your feelings ? "
"No, I'm drunk because I didn't know how to talk to her, and avoiding her was starting to kill me . You know, for someone so smart, you can be kinda dense ."
"What's that supposed to mean ? "
"Willow, I love you ."
"Huh ?" When realization hit her she started to pace back and forth across the living room . After a couple of minutes she turned to Faith to speak, and discovered the girl had passed out . Her features softened . She adjusted the brunette so that she was laying horizontally on the edge of the couch . She grabbed some pillows and a blanket from the closet in the hallway . She positioned the pillow half under Faith's head, and put the unfolded blanket at her feet . Then surprisingly, the wiccan climbed over the other girl and lay behind her on the couch . She reached down and pulled the blanket over them and wrapped her arms around the dark slayer .
"I love you too, Faith ." was all she said before closing her eyes and letting sleep reclaim her .
