Title: Something New, Something Blue
Rating: I'll just say R. this one will be a long one kids!
Disclaimer: Everything Buffy belongs to Joss and ME. I used some quotes that are from the show and they are NOT mine. You know the drill.
Bla Stuff: Christine, an original character, is actually based on me. The character is about my life mostly and everything that has happened to me except being a potential and being in the slayer world. But she isn't totally me. I just needed someone like her for this kind of fic, you will know what I mean if you read this. Eliza/Faith is my hero. I have gone through things similar to Faith and thought I could use myself as a friend to Faith. I don't know, it sounds stupid. You'll see. Oh and Willow and Kennedy aren't together either. Tara is gone and Wood and Giles never tried to kill Spike. Spike does have a soul. He also never even knew that one ring that can make vampires come into the sun light existed. So I guess it's a little AU too.
Dedication is to Jason who has helped me through my hard times with my fics Thanks! To Kim because she's too sweet. And always to Gina who inspired me to keep on writing.
Pairing: Buffy/Faith eventually and Kennedy/Christine (OC). There is Faith/Christine implied also, nothing big at all, don't freak. Some Willow/Fred too.
Setting: This is right before Willow comes back with Faith.
Be gentle with feedback. Because Christine is sort of like me (based on me) and her life is like my life. I thought it would be interesting to do this kind of Fic.
We're getting closer, thank you Jay for the feedback! I'm glad someone is enjoying the story! lol. I am trying to update when I can.
PART 21: I don't bite...
CHAPTER 31
Christine lay in the bed, wrapped in Kennedy's arms. She rolled over to face the other potential, reaching up and running her hand through her hair. Kennedy smiled at her and leaned forward, kissing her forehead. The dirty blonde smiled at her as Kennedy leaned back and propped her head up with her elbow. They just stayed like that for awhile. Christine just looking at her. It suddenly became all too much for her. This was going to be last time her and Kennedy would have together.
Christine's eyes started to water and she looked away. But the brunette caught it. "What's wrong?" the other potential asked, reaching out to Christine and placing her fingertips on her cheek as she felt that it was slick. "Why are you crying?" she asked suddenly concerned. Christine just looked back and smiled at her. She had to be strong for Kennedy.
The brunette could see the love and admiration in Christine's eyes, but she was confused. Christine rested her hand on the other potential's hip as she moved closer to her and kissed her. When she pulled away she leaned her forehead against Kennedy's. "You know I love you right?" Christine asked looking into the brunette's eyes. Christine could see that Kennedy was lost and completely confused.
Kennedy was about to say something when Christine cut her off. "I'm sorry Kennedy. This is just overwhelming for me. I am not used to this kind of stuff. But I am so glad with all my heart that I have met you. You make me stronger," Christine said seriously looking at Kennedy.
"Oh, Christine," the brunette stated as Christine began to cry. Kennedy gathered the potential in her arms.
"I just love you so much Kennedy," Christine stated trying to calm herself. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. But she couldn't help it. She didn't want to say goodbye to her...didn't want to let go when she just found her. Christine gathered up her courage and was able to stop crying.
"I love you too Christine. Don't feel like you have to confess your love to me, I know." Kennedy said looking down at Christine in her arms. The brunette thought Christine was just expressing how much she loved her...not saying goodbye. Christine pulled back away from Kennedy and grasped her hand, pulling it to her own heart.
"My heart beats with yours Kennedy. You are what keeps me alive Ken. If I'm not right there by your side I'll be here," Christine said reaching out her own hand and touching Kennedy's chest, where her heart was. "My heart being in time with yours, being fully alive," Christine stated. Kennedy just looked at her. She didn't really understand what she was saying but took it as love.
The brunette smiled and pulled Christine tighter to her body. She lightly kissed her making them both comfortable in the bed. When they parted, Christine laid her head on Kennedy's shoulder with her arm wrapped around her. "Don't worry Christine. I'll always be your girl in shining armor," Kennedy stated with a grin as Christine looked up at her and lightly laughed.
"You're so corny you know that?" Christine asked looking up at her. The brunette grinned.
"I know I know I know. Now we better get some sleep, we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow," Kennedy stated as Christine laid her head back down on her shoulder.
"Yeah...big day," Christine said as she listened to Kennedy's breathing as the brunette lightly stroked her arm with her fingertips..
Downstairs...
"Ugh, I say we're done," Fred said putting her book down. She was sitting on the floor in front of the couch. Willow laughed as she temporary closed the book she had in her lap as Fred got up from the floor and stretched. Willow couldn't help but stare at her as she watched the brunette's shirt ride up a little bit exposing her stomach. The redhead looked away, quickly blushing a little bit at her own thoughts.
Willow sighed as she placed the book on the stand next to the couch as Fred sat next to her and leaned back. "I am beat," she said as she opened her eyes and turned to the redhead next to her. Willow smiled and shook her head.
"Why don't you lie down," Willow stated spreading her arms out indicating the couch they were on. "I'm just going to look at my notes and one more book before I go to bed. I don't mind." The redhead stated as Fred looked at her and slightly blushed.
"Well I...uh..." the shy brunette started turning into babble mode. Willow smiled and cut her off.
"Look, it's not that big of a deal, I make a good human pillow, and besides, the lamp for the light is right here so I can read, I really don't mind," Willow stated not believing half of what was coming out of her mouth. Fred just started at her for a second before moving closer to her. The shy brunette hesitated as she stretched her legs out on the couch, but not yet touching the redhead.
"I don't bite Fred," Willow stated smiling as the other girl blushed.
"Of course not," Fred replied lying completely down, with her head slightly in the redhead's lap. Fred couldn't believe she was doing this. Exactly what was she doing? And she started to feel a little uncomfortable. She was about to spring back up but felt fingers in her hair, lightly running through it and it calmed her down.
"hmmmmm," the brunette sighed, enjoying it as sleepiness began to take over. The rehead smiled. Fred was so beautiful. Willow couldn't even believe the girl's head was basically in her lap. The Wicca reached for the other book she needed along with her notes.
"Mmmm...Willow," the redhead heard Fred say as the brunette's body turned over. Willow looked down and smiled. Fred was already asleep.
Back up stairs...
Christine could tell that Kennedy was asleep already as she laid there with her. The potential sighed as she lightly detangled herself from the brunette's body. She needed to put out the candles; she wasn't going to risk burning the house down. The dirty blonde quietly blew all the candles out around the room. She was going to check on everyone but as she looked over at Kennedy, she just couldn't leave the room. Not even if it was for five minutes.
Christine sighed as she made her way back towards the bed and climbed back into it and lay back down next to Kennedy. The potential pulled the sheets over them and put her arm back around Kennedy. The brunette mumbled something in her sleep and turned more toward her, wrapping her own arm around her. Christine smiled.
"I know that you can't hear me Kennedy," Christine whispered to the sleeping body of Kennedy. "But I want you to know that I am going to miss you...I can't flat out say goodbye to you...I already sort of did earlier, even though you didn't know it," Christine said sighing and looking at the beauty of Kennedy's sleeping form.
"So I guess I am going to say it now. And I am sorry for not telling you. I just couldn't. I hope you understand. And I hope you find someone else who loves you and deserves you more then me," Christine choked out as she lightly closed her eyes taking a breath. "So...goodbye I guess...boy is this weird..." the potential said out loud. She looked at Kennedy's face as she snuggled up to her. "I love you."
CHAPTER 32
Buffy groaned as she felt Faith's fingertips grazing her skin, making patterns. "Wakey wakey," Faith whispered into the older girl's ear, wrapping her arms around the naked blonde. Buffy's eyes fluttered open as she smiled and snuggled farther back into the brunette.
"Don't wanna," Buffy whined smiling. She heard the brunette chuckle.
"Oh really?" Faith asked moving her top hand over Buffy's waist. "Well I'm just going have to do it myself," she said as she started to tickle the blonde. Buffy laughed as she tried to wiggle her way out of Faith's grasp. "Oh no you don't," Faith said trying to pull the blonde back to her.
Faith stopped tickling her as she pulled Buffy back into her arms. The blonde smiled then sighed, turning to face the brunette. Faith smiled warmly at her as their eyes met. Buffy reached out and grasped the younger slayer's hand, entwining their fingers together. Faith looked down at them as Buffy smiled watching her.
"You think we'll get to do this again?" Buffy hesitantly asked, half fearful. Faith looked up at her. She could see the doubt in the older slayer's eyes. She could see the pain of all the past see how tired the other slayer was, wondering if this was it. Faith felt like someone was squeezing her heart as her lifted her other hand, caressing the other slayers cheek before leaning in and kissing her before slowly pulling back.
"As long as I have a say in it...defiantly," Faith answered looking at the blonde. Buffy smiled.
Back in Willow's room...
Christine lightly giggled as she felt Kennedy's fingers brush her sides as she wrapped her arms around her. "Good morning," Kennedy whispered into Christine's ear causing her to smile.
"Good morning," Christine replied as she felt the brunette kiss her neck.
"A girl could get used to this," Kennedy stated, placing her chin on Christine's shoulder. The potential smiled.
"Oh a girl huh?" Christine asked moving to face Kennedy smiling. "You mean as in not you?" she asked smiling.
"Oh why you...I should just tickle you to death," Kennedy laughed before leaning in and kissing Christine on the forehead causing the other girl to smile more. Kennedy looked at her a moment knowing that soon they had to assemble down stairs. "You know you're amazing right?" Kennedy asked admiring the girl in front of her. Christine smiled sitting up to be at Kennedy's level.
"That's because you make me that way," she replied before leaning in and kissing Kennedy. The brunette's arms wrapped around her a little bit as the kiss deepened. Slowly they parted.
"You'll always be my girl," Christine stated smiling lightly as she brought up her hand and caressed Kennedy's cheek with her thumb before moving it farther down to her jaw and removing it. Kennedy smiled at her with a loving gaze.
"We keep doing this, we'll never make it down stairs," Kennedy replied half laughing getting up then turning back to Christine. "Christine?" Kennedy asked looking at her with such emotion. Christine stared at her a moment.
"Yeah?" she replied looking at Kennedy.
"Thank you for last night...it was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced," Kennedy said smiling, trying to tell Christine how she felt. Christine smiled at her as Kennedy looked at her a moment longer then moved to get changed. Christine's smile then turned into a sad one as she rose to get ready.
