Chapter 4: A Little Kiss and A Little Jealously
Buffy let Charlemagne off of the ground and laughed when he glared at her.
"Sorry." She offered weakly. Tyr was laughing so hard he was almost crying. Charlemagne looked at him and you could see the wheels turning in his head.
'Hell!' he thought, 'She'll probably kick my ass.. again, but hell, it'll be worth it!'
Charlemagne offered Buffy his hand.
"Good job." He told her. "You're amazing." Buffy accepted his hand and he moved as if to shake it. Suddenly Buffy found herself in Charlemagne's arms with his lips on her. Buffy was so shocked she did not move, but she felt Charlemagne being ripped away from her.
"You stay away from her." Tyr told him, before turning to Buffy, "You okay?" he asked, jealousy still coursing through him.
"Somebody's jealous." Charlemagne stated and Dylan, Trance, and Rommi tried to hold back their laughter.
"No I'm not." Tyr stated, before he could say anything else, Buffy interrupted him.
"What?" She asked, looking extremely pissed at Tyr. "I'm not good enough to get jealous over or kiss?" she asked. "Fine than you won't give a damn if we do this!" She walked over to Charlemagne and pulled him down and kissed him. Everyone stared in stunned silence as the two kissed passionately. Charlemagne's' hands crept around her waist, pulling her closer until she was flush against his body. She could feel his arousal and smiled, allowing his tongue to enter her mouth, both wanting dominance. Buffy moved slightly against him, Dylan cleared his throat and put a restraining hand on Tyr, who looked like he was going to break the other Nietzschean in half.
"Uhmm, guys?" Dylan asked, "We really need to get back to the Andromeda." He said, hoping to interrupt the two kissing. "Uhh some time today." He said, he felt Tyr move beside him and watched as he ripped the two apart practically growling at the older Nietzschean.
"If you two would keep it in your pants for a little bit, we need to get back to the Andromeda." Tyr said, spitting the words out through forced teeth. Trance was laughing at the show of jealousy, but wisely kept it hidden.
On Andromeda
Harper went to meet the ship as it was docking, he was nearly trampled as the still pissed off Nietzschean went storming past him.
"Whoa!" Harper exclaimed, as he caught himself, "What's wrong with tall dark and broody?" he asked and watched as the rest of them snickered, except for Buffy who also looked pissed.
"Tyr put his foot in his mouth." Buffy told Harper.
"Tyr did not put his foot in his mouth." Rommi said, "He.."
"It is an expression." Buffy said, interrupting the ship, "It means that he is an ass." She said, before storming off to her room.
"Uhh," Dylan started, "We need to.." he watched as she didn't respond. "Never mind then. The rest of us will go talk to the other Nietzschean."
"Dylan?" Harper asked. "Are you going to need?"
"I don't think so."
"Alright, I'm gonna go." Harper followed the way the slayer had gone.
Buffy's Room
Harper knocked tentatively on Buffy's door, hoping that she wasn't going to follow through on her promise and kick his ass.
"Come in." came the curt reply, "Unless you're a Nietzschean ass-hole." Harper winced and almost felt sorry for Tyr, almost.
"Hey Buffy," Harper said as he came in, "You looked like you could use someone to talk to."
"No, it's okay." She told him, "I'm a little upset with the resident Nietzschean." She told him, although on the inside she could have taken on the Mayor all by herself and won.
"Oh," Harper said, "Well I could tell you some stories about him if you would like."
"Are they humiliating?" she asked, hope leaking into her voice.
"Most of them." he said, smiling, "Those are the best kind after all."
"Alright," she said, settling back against her bed and getting comfortable. Patting the bed beside her, she motions for Harper to sit by her, "Well?"
"Well," he said, "When we first found this ship, it had been suspended for 300 years and Dylan with it. We attacked it, in hopes of salvaging it and getting money. Tyr and his mercenaries boarded the ship and attacked. Dylan used a hologram and Tyr fell for it! It was funny, because this is one of those crappy holograms that anyone could tell was fake. Except for Tyr, who fell for it and tried to attack it, while Dylan knocked him unconscious."
Buff laughed as she thought of Tyr fighting a hologram and losing! Harper smiled at the sound of her laughter, glad that she was enjoying the story.
"Another time, Dylan was trying to teach Tyr how to play basketball and Tyr was having none of it, so he elbowed Dylan and dunked the ball. Dylan starts in on Tyr, like he was a little boy and he starts acting like one, he even threw a fit about stupid rules and how Dylan was making them up."
And the stories continued for hours, until Harper was on his last one. Buffy was completely enthralled by his story telling and seemed to be constructing ways to use the information he had given against Tyr. He smiled at the thought of Tyr getting brought down a peg or two.
".. so after the Magog attack, Tyr decides that he can drink everyone under the table. When he starts to drink, he was completely gone and he starts to flirt with this Than-Thre-Kull, which is an insect woman, except it's not a woman, but a male! He is flirting with the damn thing and it is getting upset with. He leans over and kisses it and.."
"Harper!" Buffy and Harper turn towards the door and see that Tyr is standing there.
"Hey!" Harper said, suddenly very nervous. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough." He told him, advancing on the smaller man, until Buffy stepped in between them. Harper beat a retreat while he could, hoping against hope that by the time Tyr found him again he was all cooled down.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"To explain." He told her, ignoring her warning look. "Look, I'm not good at this. I have yet to actually do it. But I apologize. I didn't mean to say that you weren't worth fighting for, it is just I do not wish to show weakness in front of Charlemagne."
"Great!" she said sarcastically, "I'm a weakness now. Why don't you stop while your ahead?"
"You are the most difficult, pig-headed woman I have ever met!"
"Pot calling the kettle black!" she said.
"You are talking nonsense."
"Oh! You are sure doing a fine job of apologizing. Do you always insult the person you are apologizing to?"
"No!" he said, a bit flustered, "You are just twisting everything I say and,"
"Oh! It's my fault."
"Yes!"
"Get out!"
"Fine." He said, he started to storm off, but then he turned around and grabbed her. He pulled her to his body and kissed her. Buffy fought it for all of three seconds before returning his kiss and winding her arms around his neck.
"Do you kiss all the Nietzscheans you come across?" Becca asked, amusement lacing her voice. Tyr broke off the kiss, but did not release Buffy.
"Becca?"
"Ya?"
"Remember the time you fell onto Dylan and "accidentally" kissed him?"
"Ya?"
"Well, I'll give him your diary entry to it if you don't turn around and leave." Becca blushed and turned around and left without another word. Tyr lifted Buffy's face back up and kissed her again, both sighing as everything felt right for once.
