Author's notes: Thanks for the review, Dorian Windslasher. I don't think what Faith did was whining, but I see how someone else could think so. I think it's all a matter of the tone used when speaking. We all saw Buffy do her share of whining on the show though. The characters might be a little off, but there's a reason. I want to show that they're trying to change a little in how they are toward each other. This will obviously have positive results. Faith will still be the flirty and occasional smartass that people liked. Moon FireStar, thanks for adding this to your alert list. Maybe you could leave a review too. In the spirit of the holidays, I decided to post this a few days early.
A few moments later
"Don't drink that, Dawn," Faith ordered as she took the plastic cup away from the teenager.
"It's just soda. Are you jealous that somebody else is giving me more attention than you?" Dawn almost spat as she tried to grab the drink out of Faith's hand.
"What's going on here, Faith?"
"Your sister seems to think I'm jealous that this punk is givin' her more attention than me. That's not what's goin' on."
"Then tell me what IS going on. I was having fun with you out there."
"I was really enjoyin' it too. But Dawn's safety is more important right now. He spiked her drink."
"You don't know that." Dawn muttered during another failed attempt.
"I'll prove it to ya," Faith claimed before directing to the bartender while handing over Dawn's soda, "Ya might wanna call the cops. Hold onto this until they get here too. They'll want to know what's in it if dumbass here keeps his mouth shut."
"I don't have to take this. I'll just go find someone else. You can thank the brunette for blowing it for you."
Dawn frowned in anger at what was happening as the guy turned to walk away. "Not so fast; I've got somethin' to prove," Faith declared as she pushed him to the nearby wall.
"Faith, stop it! He did nothing wrong," Dawn argued as Faith held him in place with her left arm while reaching into one of his pockets with her right hand.
Buffy stood there silently since she wasn't sure whom to believe. They were joined by their friends as the guy struggled to get away from the now furious brunette.
"What's going on, Buff?" Willow and Xander quizzed at the same time.
"Just a difference of an opinion on whether or not Dawn's soda was spiked," Buffy stated as she continued to stand still.
"Stop struggling or you'll be sorry," Faith warned as she searched his left front pocket, "Well, look what we have here."
The Summers girls gasped and gaped as Faith pulled out a small, clear, empty vial. The bouncer showed up as Faith grabbed something out of his front right pocket. She lifted it up to reveal another small vial that contained a white substance.
"I believe there's enough coke in here to put you away for at least a few years," Faith assumed as two cops emerged among the customers.
The bouncer stepped aside so they could get their hands on the guy. As soon as one of the cops had their hands on him, Faith released her hold and stepped back beside Dawn. One cuffed the criminal while another started reading him his rights and leading him out of the club as he held the spiked drink in the now sealed plastic cup. The Sunnydale gang and the Angel crew stood there speechless as the other patrons clapped. The owner had quickly made his way to the stunned group and informed them that the rest of their drinks were on the house and thanked Faith repeatedly for the help. Faith simply smirked, requested another soda for Dawn, and dragged Buffy back to the dance floor. After another dance, Faith whispered into Buffy's ear.
"Me and you, your hotel room, now," the brunette demanded.
The blonde nodded silently; and with a few words, the couple was out the door and on the way to the Hyperion. When they got to the front of the building, Faith pressed the blonde to the wall and kissed her just like she had done during the group shopping trip. Instead of pushing her away, Buffy let her keep going and moaned again as the other girl's tongue came into contact with hers. Faith broke the embrace that the blonde had initiated just long enough to see that the lobby was dark. She quietly opened the door, scooped up Buffy into her arms, and stealthily made their way to Buffy's door.
"Hurry up, B," Faith commanded after setting the shorter girl on her feet.
"Alright, alright, keep your pants on until I open the door," Buffy mumbled before a hand groped her ass.
She held in a yelp as the door unlocked. Then she yanked the brunette inside and quickly closed the door. Faith let Buffy do the same to her butt. After that, she didn't waste any time at getting Buffy's shirt off. She just as rapidly took off hers.
"Faith, I've never…," Buffy tried to say but was interrupted.
"The only thing I wanna hear outta ya is moans or you screaming out my name," Faith instructed as she picked up the blonde a second time before carrying her over to the queen size bed and tossing the blonde onto her back.
Buffy lay there and watched as Faith kicked off her shoes, took off her pants, and advanced toward her. Faith noticed that Buffy seemed to be in awe of her beauty by the way the blonde never spoke as she did the same to Buffy's clothes. Buffy checked out her upper body and opened her mouth at the sight of the scar on Faith's stomach. The scar she had caused when she stuck that dagger into the brunette. Faith stopped her from talking by placing a few fingers on the soft lips. Then Faith got on the bed and climbed on top of the other girl. She straddled the blonde's legs as she kissed her on the lips. She was able to get the blonde to open her mouth long enough to put her tongue in it. When Buffy tried to put her hands on Faith's back, the brunette didn't stop her. Faith began kissing her neck and groping her chest.
At seeing the girl below her arch her eyebrow, Faith got another idea. She let go of Buffy's chest, grabbed the hands on her back and used them to grope her own chest. Buffy gasped at the feeling of her hands on the brunette like that. After about a minute, Faith pulled her and Buffy's hands away from her chest and climbed off of her. Buffy gawked and gasped again at the sight of Faith taking off the rest of her clothes. The reaction made Faith smirk. Buffy had always thought the brunette was beautiful but seeing her naked was something else. Then she gulped as Faith spread the blonde's toned legs farther apart and got between them. When Faith tried to take off her bra, Buffy grabbed Faith's wrists and pulled them away.
"How am I supposed to make you moan or scream my name if your clothes are in the way?"
"Ok, but just the bra until I say so."
"Aight," Faith agreed as she helped Buffy take off her bra.
Faith smirked again as she gently ran her hands over the exposed chest below her, making Buffy let out a second gulp. It turned into moans when the brunette groped them with a little bit more pressure.
"UHHH…FAITH…"
"Yeah?"
"DON'T STOP! UHH!" the blonde moaned loudly before Faith's mouth moved to her chest and her hands gripped Buffy's hips.
Buffy let out small shrieks as Faith kissed and licked her chest. They got louder as Faith tickled it with her tongue, nibbled on it, and finally sucked on it. Buffy was so swept up that she didn't even notice Faith's hands had traveled down to her butt until she felt it being squeezed under the underwear.
"Faith..."
"I just wanted to know what it felt like to squeeze them without underwear in the way," Faith admitted before kissing the blonde's stomach and tickling it with her tongue, like she had just done to her chest.
"O-Ok," Buffy stuttered and sighed happily.
Buffy continued to sigh as Faith kissed her stomach. Faith felt the time was right to make another move or two. She kissed the blonde's underwear and gently grabbed the sides of it.
"Hey, B, can I take them off n…," the dark slayer began to ask then paused and growled at what she saw next, "You gotta be fuckin' kidding me! Come on, B, wake up. We can't stop now."
When she couldn't wake the slayer, she angrily got off the bed, put on her underwear, and searched for the rest of her clothes. Since her room was just down the hall, she debated on whether or not to put them on before leaving. The decision was made easier when she heard footsteps getting closer and Dawn singing something. She smirked as she peeked over her shoulder at Buffy, who was still asleep and lying on her back. For a few seconds, Faith thought about letting Dawn find Buffy like that. She changed her mind a little though and put the bra back on the sleeping girl. The brunette also noticed that the lighter had fallen out of one of the pockets on her jeans. She decided to leave it there and make sure she'd ask the blonde about it in front of everybody the next morning. She grabbed her clothes again, slowly opened the door, stepped outside the room, and started to close the door.
"F-Faith wh-what are y-you d-doing?" Dawn stuttered as she approached the slayer.
"Going back to my room."
"Why are you only in your underwear?" Dawn asked and paused as what could have happened immediately sunk in, "Faith, you didn't!"
Faith opened the door enough for Dawn to see her sister asleep and half naked while stretched out on her back before closing it.
"No worries, D. As soon as she passed out, I stopped."
Dawn gulped as Faith checked her out and paced toward her.
"Like what ya see?" Faith teased while Dawn backed up until her back was pressed toward the wall behind her.
"I…"
"What do ya say to the two of us going back to my room so I can finish what I started with your sister?" Faith whispered into Dawn's right ear as she put her left leg between Dawn's legs and added a little pressure as the rest of her body got extremely close to the younger girl.
"I…," Dawn murmured after letting out a second gulp.
"Think it over," Faith suggested as she stepped back to give the younger girl some air.
"Get away from her, Faith," Xander requested.
"I was only teasing her," Faith announced as she turned around to face him and saw that he wasn't alone.
"Really?" Willow questioned with an unbelieving glance.
"Really," Dawn replied as Faith backed up even farther.
Dawn wasn't sure whether she should be happy or disappointed when that happened and couldn't tell what the slayer was thinking as well. Xander, Willow, and Kennedy stood there and gazed at the brunette in possibly the most revealing underwear they had ever seen. Faith smirked back at them for a second before turning again and casually walking down the hall to her room.
"See ya in the morning," Faith concluded as she closed the door.
They didn't know what to say after that, so the foursome each went to their own rooms silently. As Dawn went to sleep, she thought about everything that happened at the club, outside Buffy's door, and what would happen when Buffy woke in the morning. Would Buffy freak, would she get angry and try to hurt Faith, and how would Faith react? She also tried to forget about the slight jealousy she had about what Faith and Buffy had done that night at the club and what could have happened if she had taken Faith up on her offer from about five minutes ago.
The next morning, around 10:00 AM, Buffy's room
Buffy awoke with a yawn and shuffled into the bathroom. She blinked as she turned on the light. She glimpsed into the mirror and had to do a double take when she saw that she wasn't wearing a shirt. Then the blonde looked down to see that she wasn't wearing any type of pants either. She began to panic as she tried to remember what happened for her to awake like that. As she sat down on the bed, she found her clothes in a pile to the right of it. It started to come back a little more now. She recalled how she and her sister slayer were dancing when Faith had gone to Dawn's rescue. She blushed at the memory of her and Faith taunting the men with how close they got to each other then how Faith had gotten her to moan with even more contact. She still couldn't figure out why she was only in underwear.
As she twirled around to return to the bathroom for a quick shower, she felt her left foot kick something. She searched the floor and found a cigarette lighter. After that, more came rushing back: the girls sharing a kiss outside the hotel, Faith telling her to hurry with the hotel key, more kissing, some clothes coming off, Faith straddling her while they kissed more, and the groping. She gulped at the memories that followed: Faith getting naked in front of her, her managing to get the blonde out of her bra, the attention the brunette paid to her bare breasts. She jumped off the bed at the final memories of Faith starting to do the same to her stomach as hands squeezed her butt and falling asleep. She wanted to blame letting it happen on the alcohol, but a part of her knew better. She was full of fear and anger at what Faith could have done after she passed out. Buffy rushed through her shower, got dressed, quickly left the room, and headed to Faith's room down the hall. She knocked three times before realizing that Faith was probably in the kitchen or in the basement that Angel had turned into a training room for the girls.
A few minutes later, the kitchen
Buffy entered the kitchen to find the entire Scooby gang, Faith, and Kennedy either eating breakfast, having a cup of coffee, or both. Faith was sitting on one of the counters while the rest were seated around a table.
"Good morning, Buffy," Willow greeted as she continued cooking eggs while her best friend reached for a coffee mug, "Would you like some eggs?"
"Morning, Will. Eggs would be great; thank you."
"Did you sleep well?" Xander said between spoonfuls of cereal as Buffy joined them and sat beside her sister.
"Yeah," Buffy sighed and tried to hide how uncomfortable she felt around the formerly rogue slayer, "Where is everyone else?"
"Giles is in the office and the other slayers are upstairs or getting some exercise. They might be either outside or down in the basement. Angel and company are already at Wolfram & Hart," the witch informed her while finishing the cooking and sitting beside her girlfriend.
Faith was still sitting on the counter and occasionally studied everyone at the table. Every so often, she would gulp down some coffee or eat the breakfast in front of her. She smirked as Buffy got up momentarily to dump the rest of the eggs onto a plate.
"I bet you did," Kennedy determined with a chuckle.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Buffy responded after frowning at the girl across from her.
"We saw Faith and Dawn talking outside your room last night."
"So they were talking. What's the big deal?" Buffy inquired before briefly eyeing Faith, who was now smirking at her.
"She was in just her underwear, so we guessed that something happened between you two," Kennedy added happily.
"Nothing happened," Buffy insisted as she glared at the girl and then focused on Faith after hearing a snort from the other side of the kitchen.
"Did you find my lighter in your room?" Faith challenged.
"Yes," Buffy admitted and kept going when they all gawked at her, "Don't you think that maybe she came into my room after I was asleep and left it there? Then made sure to ask me in front of all of you to make her story more believable?"
"Maybe if you two hadn't been all over each other last night," Kennedy mentioned after finishing up her breakfast.
"I know you're lying, Buffy," Dawn confirmed a moment later, "I saw her coming out of your room half naked and that you were just as undressed as she was."
Faith got down from the counter, put a few things in the sink, and asserted, "Well, I think I'm gonna go downstairs and work out for a little while."
The rest watched as their leader got up and followed her.
