Buffy's Point of View
This has been a really weird morning. I was awake for maybe five glorious minutes before chaos ensued, but now, thankfully, it's peaceful again. I'm just lying in Faith's arms. She looks so peaceful with her eyes closed. I know she isn't sleeping. I think she's just trying to preserve the moment in her mind. I know I am.
I told her that I love her, and that she can talk to me and trust me with stuff, but I think it'll take some time. Although, her tough girl act melts pretty fast when she's with me. I think she tries to impress everyone else with it, but lets me see the real her. I hope that's what it's like at least.
I watched her for a minute and pondered our fast-moving relationship. This had all started last night. I was glad though – I didn't have to worry about covering up my feelings about Faith from Angel. I was starting to feel relieved that he was gone, even though I had loved him. I just loved Faith more, or deeper or something. I have got to work on my romance skills.
I thought about all the guys she had been with. It seemed as though she understood physical gestures and touches more than words – then something occurred to me. We hadn't really kissed yet – not on the lips at least. Suddenly, I wanted very much to kiss the girl whose arms were wrapped around me. I didn't think about it very much because I figured that I would lose my nerve.

All of a sudden, I felt Buffy's hair brush my cheek, and then I felt her lips on mine. The contact was very short – she pulled away almost instantly, but only about an inch.

Oh god. What did I just do? She hates it. She's going to hate me. Oh god, oh god, oh… Oh damn it. She's looking all confused and surprised and she got all tense and oh no, no, bad Buffy. Bad, bad Buffy.
What the hell? Now she's all relaxed and–

Oh no. She looks all scared like I'm going to hate her. Why is she so timid all of a sudden? Oh, I guess because I'm tense and looking confused. Oh no she's going to flip out and move and oh I better just kiss her back because otherwise she's going to move–

Hot damn. Oh… The slayer bond is even stronger when stuff like this happens. I can feel her fire spreading all over me. She's gentle, but at the same time, not. She didn't really get into it for a moment there – she just kind of pecked me like I had done to her. But now…
Faith's Point of View
Damn. Did she kiss Angel like this? I hope she saved this just for me. I love this girl. I've never met anyone else like her. I really love her.
She's moving away from me now, but it's only so she can regain her breath.
"C'mon B," I gasped as she panted, "Oxygen is overrated." She smiled down at me.
