Music In Our Hearts
Chapter 9: Come On Get Higher
[Flashback]
"I thought I'd stop by." Buffy said cockily.
"Is he dead yet?" Faith asked, but her sadistic smile never made it to her eyes.
"He's not gonna die. Good try, though. 'A' for effort. Your plan?"
"Uh-uh. Mayor got me the poison. Said it was wicked painful."
"There's a cure."
"Damn. What is it?"
"Your blood."
Faith paused, surprise evident on her face. She didn't let it show, but she actually considered turning herself over to Buffy. End it all. Maybe if she surrendered, Buffy would see how sorry she was for everything, and she'd make Angel let her live. She'dbe back on the right side again, though she'd be in no condition to help fight the Mayor.
"As justice goes, it's not unpoetic. Don't you think?" Buffy asked, anger flaring her nostrils.
"You come here to get me? Gonna feed me to Angel?" Faith sounded a mix of confusion, worried, and... relief.
Buffy nodded, almost regretfully, but still resolute in her decision.
Faith decided there was no way she was surrendering. It wasn't in her nature, and she valued her life too much to bet on Angel not killing her.
"You're not gonna take me alive."
"That's not a problem."
"Well, look at you, all dressed up in big sister's clothes." They suddenly found themselves drifting closer together, staring into each other's eyes, neither of them truly believing the regret they both had in their eyes.
"You told me I was just like you." Buffy said, wishing it was the other way around. That Faith had never gone off the edge. That she'd stayed with Buffy. "That I was only holding it in."
"You ready to cut loose?" 'Cause this is only gonna end one way or the other. Either way, one of us is gonna lose. And the loser... Is more than likely gonna die. Faith thought.
"Try me."
"Okay then. Give us a kiss." Faith replied longingly, but the fight began. Neither of them really knew the details of what happened. Everything happened too fast. But it ended with Faith catching Buffy in a headlock, Faith's mouth right next to the blonde's ear. She could strangle Buffy so easily right now. Or break her neck. It would be easy. Instead, Faith opened her mouth to speak, and ended up singing.
"I miss the sound of your voice. And I miss the rush of your skin. And I miss the still of the silence as you breathe out, and I breathe in.
"If I could walk on water, if I could tell you what's next, I'd make you believe. I'd make you forget. So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love. So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love." Buffy's eyes widened at the realization that Faith was confessing her love to Buffy through a song. Faith couldn't seem to stop the music. Something was wrong. This wasn't the way it happened. Not exactly.
"I miss the sound of your voice. Loudest thing in my head. And I ache to remember all the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said.
"If I could walk on water, if I could tell you what's next, I'd make you believe. I'd make you forget. So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love. So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love.
"I miss the pull of your heart. I taste the sparks on your tongue. I see angels and devils, and God when you come, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
"Sing sha la la la. Sing sha la la la. Ooo ooo ooo...
"So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love. So come on get higher, loosen my lips. Faith and desire and the swing of your hips. Just pull me down hard and drown me in love.
"It's all wrong. It's all wrong. It's all wrong, it's so right. So come on, get higher. So come on and get higher. 'Cause everything works, love. Everything works in your-" Faith was interrupted by Buffy spinning around and kissing Faith passionately. Neither of them knew what compelled her to do it, it was like Faith's sudden singing. It just felt like the right thing to do.
Faith snapped out of her trance. That was definitely NOT how it happened. Faith had NOT broken out in song that night. She'd just thrown down her weapon and held her hands out in surrender, unable to bring herself to finish Buffy. Buffy asked why, and Faith just said three words. "I love you." Those three words changed everything. From that specific moment, Buffy brought Faith back to Angel and let him feed from the raven haired Slayer, but stopped him before he drained her, instead, letting him finish with her. The two Slayers both recovered and fought the Mayor together, and from that point on, their secret relationship begun.
But there had definitely not been singing. Faith was certain of that. Whatever was happening to everyone was starting to affect their memories.
Buffy sat up in bed, looking down at her startled girlfriend.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"B... Do you remember the night... that night on the roof. We were fighting, but then I surrendered?"
"Of course. That was the night you told me how you really felt about me. That was the night we finally stopped beating around the bush and got together. I'll always remember that night. But wait a second..." Buffy looked like she was concentrating on something. "Huh... that's weird."
"Damn... So it's not just me."
"So wait, you remember singing to me, too?"
"Yeah. Only, that never happened."
"Yeah, I know. It was almost like whatever is making us sing now was affecting... our... memories..." Buffy realized with a start, then calmed down. "Oh well. I think I actually kind of like that memory. It's romantic. You singing to me like that."
"Well, I'd like to get my real memories back."
"So would I, I'm just saying. I think you have a beautiful singing voice. I wish you'd sing for me once in a while."
"You do?"
"Yeah. I like hearing you sing. Especially about how much you love me." Buffy smiled sheepishly.
Faith smirked in response. "So what, all I have to do to keep you happy is sing once in a while?"
"Well, that's not all you have to do. Some visual aids would be nice, too."
"Visual aids, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I might be able to put something together." Faith smirked as she pulled Buffy down and kissed her, flipping them so she was laying on top. She pushed her thigh against Buffy's core and heard the blonde moan.
"Yeah?" Faith asked, applying a bit more pressure, coaxing more moans from her lover. "That kind of visual aid?"
"Yeah." Buffy moaned.
"Yeah? You like that?"
"Mm-hmm." Buffy's moans were getting more and more desperate as Faith pressed harder and harder, and started sliding her leg up and down slightly, rubbing against Buffy's hot and wet sex.
"I don't know... I don't think I'm doing it right. Don't think I'm getting the point across." Faith grinned as she got up off of Buffy, and the blonde whimpered at the loss of contact, and grabbed for Faith. "No." Faith pinned Buffy's arms by her sides so she couldn't move, then started sliding over slightly, so she was completely centered over her.
She lowered herself on top of the woman beneath her, and they both sighed as their mounds connected, and Faith started slowly grinding against Buffy. She felt legs wrap around her waist, driving her into Buffy, creating more friction between them, and Buffy's moans resumed.
Faith stopped moving slightly, and became enchanted by Buffy's eyes. Her face. Her body.
"Faith...?!" Buffy moaned in protest at the lack of movement.
"Shh..." Faith whispered. "Let me look at you." Buffy nodded after a moment, and stilled, relaxing her body.
Faith looked into Buffy's eyes for a long while. They were darker than their usual hazel color, the lust in them making them a deep brown that sent shivers down Faith's spine. Buffy's face was red as she blushed under Faith's very observant inspection. Her neck and chest were flush, and rising and falling consistently as she had to breathe deeply for all her arousal. Her breasts were firm, and definitely one of Faith's favorite parts of her body, second only to her ass, which, regrettably, was hiding under Buffy's body right now. Her neck still showed the scar that they both shared from when they fed themselves to Angel to drive out the poison.
Buffy's stomach was scarred up from the numerous times she'd been wounded by some evil or another, and one especially large scar showed where a vampire had nearly killed her with her own stake. All of them were battle scars hard-won, and Faith was proud of them, even though they weren't hers. Buffy felt the need to cover them up. Faith, on the other hand, liked to show her scars, except the ones that were in places reserved for only Buffy and Faith herself to see. Faith's eyes drifted down Buffy's legs. Although they were shorter than her own, they were oh, so proportionate to Buffy's size. They were very lean and muscular, showing every single flexing twitch Buffy made, both consciously and sub-consciously. Finally, her eyes drifted back up to Buffy's womanhood. It was pulsing with arousal, and glistening with wetness. For Faith.
Faith admired the goddess beneath her and breathed a shuddering sigh as she realized it belonged to her. Every single, beautiful, gorgeous, perfect curve was hers. It was Buffy's body, but it belonged to her, just as her body belonged to Buffy. Never anyone else's. Just each other's.
Faith looked Buffy in the eyes again and shuddered once more. The wait was killing the blonde, and her eyes were now even darker than they had been before.
She lowered herself again and gasped at the contact. She could feel both of their sexes throbbing against each other, craving release. Faith kissed Buffy deeply as she started grinding against her again, muffling their moans and silent screams.
She pressed harder and harder against Buffy until every single movement was a jolt of electricity running through them both.
"Hah!" Faith gasped as she pulled away from her girlfriend's mouth. She moved faster, and Buffy met her rhythmic movements, moving opposite of her.
"Faith!" Buffy screamed, though she could barely manage a whisper.
"Buffy!" Faith replied, her voice working about as well as Buffy's was.
Faith couldn't take it anymore. Her hand slid between their bodies and pushed into Buffy violently, two fingers buried deep in her pussy. She thrust in and out at the same pace as she ground against her lover, and soon felt Buffy respond in kind.
"Gah!" Faith said, a cross between a gasp and a scream as she felt Buffy contract around her fingers, and vice versa.
They were both squirming against each other, neither of them able to hold the rhythm steady as they both reached their climax at the same time, and Faith was as still as a statue, only her hand between Buffy's legs moving as they both continued to thrust, riding out each other's orgasm.
Finally, Faith collapsed to the side of her lover, panting desperately for breath, and watched Buffy do the same.
"God... I... love... you..." Buffy said between pants.
"I... love... you... too..." Faith replied, and embraced the blonde. They lay in each other's arms, enjoying their presence beside each other, and soon fell back asleep.
The song in this chapter is "Come On Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson.
