Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy, or Faith or any other characters from BTVS. If I did I would be acting out stories not reading or writing them ;) .

Reviews very much welcome but please be gentle – it's my first time... lol.

"Hey just a beer please" said Buffy

"Make that two please" requested Faith handing the money to the barman. "C'mon B let's get our own table and talk with a little privacy from the others". Faith suggested guiding Buffy to a table and sitting down opposite her. "Now tell me if I wrong but, the girl crush was me right?" Faith asked Buffy.

"Yeah I was talking about you", replied Buffy quietly

"And WAS it me or IS it me B?" questioned Faith

"Both and always", whispered Buffy looking down at her beer, "I've wanted to tell you for years, but never thought there would be any point and I thought you'd laugh at me… and then we had pancakes and now I'm babbling" said Buffy avoiding Faith's gaze and looking at her beer again.

"B … B look at me, I've wanted you since I first met you… I know I messed up during High School, but I really have tried to keep my life together since then and you're part of the reason. I mean since we moved here I know we've grown closer, but I never thought you'd look twice at me, I mean you're the straight laced-uptight slayer-who does everything right, and I'm the F*ck up who always gets it wrong" said Faith only stopping to breathe as she finished speaking.

"You're not a F*ck up Faith … and I'm not straight… or at least not when I think about you" Buffy said taking Faiths hand across the table.

Faith downed the last of her beer and stood up, never letting go of Buffy's hand "Wanna dance B?"

"Always" said Buffy.

Buffy and Faith walked to the dance floor hand in hand past the others who were still at the table.

"Oh my Goddess! They're holding hands" gasped Willow

"Do you think they finally got it together" questioned Kennedy

"Seriously am I the only straight one around here?" exclaimed Xander

"Looks that way Xan-Man, looks that way" chuckled Kennedy

As Buffy and Faith reached the dance floor Faith wrapped her hands around Buffy's waist and Buffy placed her hands on Faith's shoulders. Buffy pulled Faith in towards her kissing her softly, her hands wandering into Faith's hair, Faiths hands slid down cupping Buffy's butt and pulling her in closer. As breathing became an issue both pulled away with smiles on their faces. Faith pulled Buffy in close and whispered in her ear "it's always been you since the day I met you B and I think it always will be but," she pulled away looked into Buffy's eyes whilst remove a strand of hair from Buffy's eyes "we should take this slow, I wanna make sure we do this right, Iv'e always been 'get some, get gone' but with you … I wanna wake up and you're still there in the morning… do you get what I'm sayin' …"

"I think that's possibly the most romantic thing anyone has ever said." Sighed Buffy.

Just then the bar lights came on "guess its time to go home" smiled Buffy.

"hey guys sorry to interrupt but I think we all kinda gotta leave, were the last ones left…" said Willow

"Plus I reallllly wanna get Willow home if ya know what a mean" chuckled Kennedy from behind her girlfriend as she wrapped her arms around Willow.

"you won't be getting' any if you say things like that" giggled Willow

"ah you don't mean that baby do you …" whispered Kennedy into Willows ear "coz, I was planning to do things to you that would make Faith blush…"

"mm okay lets go home and do that" said Willow

Faith started chucking as she said to Kennedy "nothing makes me blush. P.S. Slayer hearing, you should know that by now."

"Erm let's go get a cab" said Buffy rescuing Kennedy from her embarrassment.

They all went outside and clambered in to a taxi and Willow gave the driver directions to Slayer central.
