A/N: So my first Buffyverse fic, and it's Fuffy. I'm thinkin' it's set midway in season 3 but other than the characters involved it doesn't relate to any major plot things. Cute, short little game of spin the bottle. For now it's a one-shot, but with some gentle nudging I could continue it. So let me know what you think.
Meet Me Halfway
Buffy smiled, listening to the soft clinking of the bottle as it spun. These past few weeks had been hectic and it felt good to just relax for once.
"I cannot believe you guys talked me into this." Xander's actions didn't exactly support his words as he excitedly grabbed the bottle and took a spin. He watched in rapt attention, along with most everyone else in the room to see where the spinning bottle would finally rest. It slowed and wobbled before stopping, it's tip pointing directly towards a certain blonde slayer.
"Oh, Buffy, that's you!" Willow said, her eyes dancing with amusement, she glanced towards Oz who was smiling as well.
Xander stood to meet Buffy half way, "Have I mentioned the whole slayer fantasy thing yet?" Buffy laughed, "Only four times since we suggested doing this game half an hour ago." She rose to meet him and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Nah uh Buffy, it states clearly here in the rules (that we just made up), 'No cheek kissing.' It's gotta be on the lips!" Willow spoke up confidently clutching the scrap of paper that they had ordained the rule book. Buffy rolled her eyes, "Come here you," she said smiling and placed her hands on the sides of his face, bringing him in for a chaste kiss. A chorus of woo's went up and it was Buffy's turn to spin. She grabbed the bottle and gave it a whirl, wondering who she was going to have to have an "awkward friend kiss" with this time. The bottle slowed and stopped in the direction of the stairs. She reached to spin it again when the sound of footsteps caught their attention. A pair a black boots came into view, followed by tight dark blue jeans and finally a white, body hugging, tank-top.
Buffy's mouth formed into a small, 'oh'.
Faith swung around the last of the railing. "Hey B, what's crackin'?" She asked before noticing the bottle on the floor positioned pointedly in her direction. She cocked an eyebrow. "What are you guys, 12?"
"It's spin-the-bottle." Willow spoke up, grabbing Oz's hand.
Faith rolled her eyes and leaned against the staircase, "No kiddin' Red, tell me somethin' I didn't-"
"And Buffy spun you!" Faith and Buffy both looked to each other before snapping their attention back to Willow.
"You gotta be kidding me." Faith said, still smirking.
Buffy still hadn't said anything and was quietly watching her friends banter, a slight blush rising in her cheeks.
"Come on Faith," Xander said, "it's all in good fun. You know like rasslin' those alligators or something. Y-you could even do it uh, naked! I mean if wanted to." The words had barely left his mouth before Buffy cuffed him on the back of the head.
Faith just laughed, "Naked kissing huh...sounds a whole lot like sex, X-Man, minus the whole penetration part." She watched with a smirk as every single one of the Scoobies fought to hide a blush. "Alright get over it, I'll play your game." Everyone looked from where Faith was still leaning against the staircase, to Buffy, perched on the arm of the couch. The two caught each other's eyes as Faith lazily pushed herself away from her support and swaggered over to the middle of room. She crossed her arms and waited. Buffy smiled tauntingly as she refused to move. Faith rolled her eyes and uncrossed her hands, spreading her arms in invitation. "Ya gotta meet me halfway slayer." Buffy laughed and eventually got up from the couch, crossing over to Faith. "Come on B, give us a kiss." She cocked her head to the side and smiled, placing her hands on Buffy's waist. Buffy's eyes flashed as she laughed and reached out to pull Faith to her. Their lips met, and Buffy felt Faith nibble her bottom lip gently before they both pulled away. Faith grinned cockily as Buffy ducked her head, blushing furiously, before finally meeting the dark slayers eyes with a smile.
"So I'm pretty much starved. B, you up for some grub?" Faith asked, making her way back to the stairs.
"Yeah sure." Buffy replied grabbing her coat. "You guys in?" She turned to the rest of the gang.
"Sounds groovy." Willow piped up.
As they got up Buffy met Faith at the stairs. Faith turned to go up them but was stopped by a hesitant tug at her jacket sleeve. She turned to look questioningly at the blonde slayer. Buffy pulled her back to her suddenly and their lips met in a bruising kiss. Faith eyes snapped open as Buffy pulled away sporting that cocky grin she had learned from Faith herself. Buffy looked to see their friends frozen in place, eyes wide with shock and confusion. She shrugged and sauntered halfway up the stairs before turning back to them.
"Don't forget, I always get the last laugh." She said simply. Her eyes met Faith's in an unspoken challenge and in that moment everything changed. She offered her hand to the other slayer, "you coming?" Faith smirked as she made her way up the stairs and took Buffy's hand, meeting her halfway.
