Buffy and Faith had been dating for three months and the pair was rarely seen without one another. Things were getting serious and fast! It made Faith nervous, but at the same time this felt right and she only seemed to truly worry when she and Buffy were intimate with one another. In this moment though, as Buffy sat on her lap, running a hand through Faith's hair as they spent time with each other before the first period bell Faith couldn't think of anything serious.

"Do you know what today is?" Buffy asked.

"Friday," Faith answered, playfully, knowing that today was their three month anniversary.

"What else?" Faith was a fantastic girlfriend and had proven to be very thoughtful. It went against the image of Faith that Buffy had believed not too long ago.

"I know what today is B,"

"Do you?" she playfully raised an eyebrow at Faith.

She nodded. "Yeah, three months," she smiled.

"I'm sure you have something spectacular planned."

"I'm sure you do as well."

Cordelia rolled her eyes. "Oh, great, here comes Xander. At least that red head -"

"Willow." Faith was quick to correct Cordelia, much to the cheerleader's annoyance.

"Whatever, like I was saying at least she has the sense to stay away." Cordelia commented none too quietly as Xander approached the group of popular teens sitting around the Sunnydale High water fountain.

"Hey, Xan!" Faith smiled.

"Hey," Buffy gave him a small but friendly wave.

Xander grinned, sliding his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, looking terribly awkward and feeling out of place. "Hey…"

Faith felt badly for her good friend and patted Buffy's thigh. "B, I'm going to talk to Xander."

She slipped off her girlfriend's lap. "You're walking me to class though, right?"

Faith nodded. "Yeah, of course," she pecked Buffy's cheek and then walked away with Xander.

"I was thinking that it was time for a monster movie marathon." He proposed.

"Well…" she trailed off, thinking of the plans she and Buffy had tonight.

"You're ditching me again?"

"It's not like that Xan. It's just that -"

"You're ditching me."

"Come on. It's my three month anniversary with Buffy and I want to do something special with her. We can do the marathon tomorrow."

Xander nodded, not entirely convinced that something wouldn't come up allowing Faith to bail. They hadn't been spending too much time together since things between Buffy and Faith had become serious.

"You promise?"

Faith nodded. "I promise." The bell for first period rang. "I've got to get back to B." She patted his shoulder before she walked away. Xander sighed, watching her go.

Buffy stood up as Faith approached her. "What was that about?"

"Horror movie marathon at my house tomorrow,"

"No Bronze on Saturday?" Buffy wrapped her arms around Faith's neck.

"Nope, no Bronze B, Next Saturday though." She wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist and pulled her close.

Buffy pressed her mouth against Faith's, kissing her lightly on the mouth.

"You two need to get a room." Cordelia remarked as she and her lemmings left the pair alone.

"Maybe, she's right." Buffy mumbled against Faith's mouth. She was always surprised by the fact that Faith hadn't tried to get in her pants. It made her feel special but she wanted to give herself to Faith.

"Following Cordelia's advice?" Faith chuckled, trying to lighten the mood from becoming intense. "When has that ever been a good idea? Come on." She pulled away, tugging on Buffy's hand. "We'll be late." Buffy sighed, falling into step with her girlfriend.
