Staring into the empty space where Buffy used to be, Faith feels empty. She feels Xander slide his arm over her shoulder as she watches Willow run after Buffy. "Come on, Faith" Xander says, leading her out of the auditorium with her.
Once outside, Xander asks what happened "Well Xander, I gotta tell you something. I'm moving to Boston" Faith says and watches Xander's eyes widen "Wow, when?" Faith sighs looking down "Tomorrow" she says and hears Xander whisper "jeez" and sadly asks, "Why didn't you say anything sooner?"
"I dunno, I just knew it was gonna be hard." Faith says and Xander nods asking "Is that why Buffster slapped you?" and Faith chuckled humorlessly. "No, she slapped me because I told her I was in love with her." Xander stops Faith "Wait, didn't you guys already know that?" he asks and Faith looks confused "That you guys love each other." And Faith looks at him strangely "No, I love her; she doesn't" Faith says sighing but Xander shakes his head." No she does, trust me." But Faith was the one to shake her head this time. "Ya, cause a great way to say I love you too is to slap someone" Just as Xander was about to speak Willow says "she slapped you because you told her you loved her the night that you're leaving her." from behind them. "so? At least I said it" Faith says and Xander nods but Willow says, "No, Faith, cause now you guys will never get the chance to be together. You told her you loved her but now you can't ever show her." Eventually, Faith nods "but it's not like I don't want you. God you guys don't understand. I love her so much. She's all I ever think about. She is everything to me. It kills me to think I may never see her again." Faith says as her tears fall.
"God she really does love Buffy. I've never seen Faith cry" Just then Willow gets a call on her cell phone and sees its Buffy. "Hello?"
"Wil, do you and Xander want to come over?" Buffy asks sniffing. Willow walks away from Faith and Xander but they hear her ask, "Do you want Faith to come?" Willow asks but since they can't hear Buffy, they're left clueless. "I'm with her right now. Buffy she's leaving tomorrow we need to spend time with her." Willow says and Faith and Xander hear Buffy scream "Stop saying that!" They don't hear the rest but Faith waits for her doom as Willow walks over, "you guys wanna go over Buffy's" Willow asks mostly to Faith and they nod.
By the time they made it to Buffy's they were composed and reminiscing. "Hey it wasn't my fault that you tripped over my foot and landed on top of Snyder." Faith says as they laugh. "Reminiscing about the gold old days." Buffy says bitterly, glaring at Faith through her read and puffy eyes and Faith swallows the lump in her throat.
Thanks to Xander the mood lightened" So we got some good movies. Everything from horror to comedy to you chick flicks" He says the last part pretending to be annoyed but little do they all know that he secretly likes them. Xander watches as Faith sits on the end of the couch and then Buffy sits on the other end causing Faith's face to drop.. He looks to Willow helplessly but she just looks the same. It is so uncomfortably quiet that they can hear the rain that just started. Again saved by Xander, he asks "so which is it?" and Faith shrugs "I don't care". They all hear Buffy scoff and mumble "well no kidding" bitterly.
"all right that's it. We're talking this over" Faith thinks before standing up sharply. "B, can I talk to you" but Buffy just ignores her. Sighing, Faith walks over and picks a struggling Buffy up, carrying her upstairs. When they get to Buffy's room, Buffy had calmed down a little. Faith puts Buffy down but she just gets up walking away. "Buffy please" she hears and sees Faith's pleading face. Reluctantly, Buffy sits down next to Faith on the end of the bed.
"Look Buffy, I thought that tell you was the right thing to do I wasn't expecting anything from you, especially not the slap. I knew you didn't love me back. Willow told me why you slapped me. It was because you thought I was copping out. That only reason why I told you was because I wouldn't have to prove it. But I'd show you in anyway I could. I'd scream it from the mountain tops if that's what t would take. I can't believe " Faith pauses to take in a ragged breath as their tears fall. Faith looks up into Buffy's eyes "I never thought I'd have to live without you. I took it all for granted. I don't know how I'm gonna last without you. I don't even know if I can live witho-" Buffy grabs Faiths head and puts their lips together. They kiss passionately and taste their tears. When they pull back for air Buffy looks deep in Faith's eyes "I love you too" And Faith smiles wider than she ever has before as she kisses Buffy again. "Faith? Will you stay with me tonight?" Buffy asks pressing their foreheads together. Nodding Faith says "Of course" As they kiss again, Buffy lays back and pulls Faith on top of her. As things get heated, they hear a big bang downstairs and they remember Xander and Willow.
Chuckling, they sit up and compose themselves as they walk downstairs holding hands and they see Xander hopping on one foot, holding his other foot in pain. "Ow, Buffy organize your house." He says and she smiles, shaking her head. And she pushes him out the door as she makes popcorn. She notices Faith watching her from her seat on the counter. Buffy saunters over sexily and stands between Faith's legs. "I love her so much" Faith thinks wrapping her arms around Buffy and leans down to kiss her. Saying what's on her mind Faith says softly "I love you so much" Buffy smiles whisper back "I love you too, so much" They chuckle and walk into the living room with popcorn.
Faith sits and watches Buffy as she puts the popcorn down. Just as Buffy turns around she sees Faith checking her out and smiles widely, intentionally bending over more. As she's about to walk away Faith grabs Buffy by the waist and pulls her on her lap, kissing her on the shoulder. " I see you guys sorted things out." Xander says smiling and they not then all turn to watch the movie.
By the end of the movie it was really late and Xander and Willow had to leave "I'll see you tomorrow Faith, we're all spending the day together." Xander says hugging Faith and they nod as Willow hugs Faith. When they leave Faith sighs and sits on the couch, thinking as Buffy is upstairs changing. When she finishes, Buffy calls down to Faith who gets up. As she walks up the stairs, she sees a small amount of light from Buffy's room. When she walks in she sees the room lit by candles and Buffy in a sexy, silk nightgown. "Since this is gonna be out last night together." Buffy starts walking to Faith "And you said you wanted to prove how much you love me." Buffy takes Faith's hand and kisses each fingertip sensuously. " I think you should prove it now." Faith smiles slightly "Are you sure?" she asks and Buffy pulls off the straps of her nightgown and slides it down her body. All that can be heard is their ragged breathing as Faith walks over to Buffy, pulling her in for a passionate kiss. She fells Buffy unbuttoning her shirt as she places soft kisses on Buffy's neck and trailing to her ear as Buffy slides the shirt down her shoulders and reaches to undo her bra. She hears Buffy gasp at her body and Buffy, then, starts to undo Faith's belt while Faith leads Buffy backwards to the bed. When Buffy's knees hit the bed, she sits and pulls down Faith's pants and panties. As Faith steps out, Buffy holds her hand and pulls Faith on top of her moaning as their bodies touch. Looking down at the love and desire filled gaze of Buffy, Faith whispers " You are so beautiful" Faith kisses Buffy lovingly and slowly leaves kisses down Buffy's neck and Buffy moans while Faith nips at her earlobe and Faith whispers "I love you baby" before starting her journey down the body of her lover.
