A/N- So it's been a while but I've decided to carry on with this one. I always go back to Buffy fics hehe. Enjoy!
24
Going back to Sunnydale was sort of like coming home for Faith now.
But was determined to show these potentials that they had to have some respect for Buffy, if not, then this was never going to work.
Buffy stared at her house, it was like she afraid to go in, Faith thought as she watched the other Slayer's body language.
"It's your house, y' know." She said.
Buffy nodded but still kept staring at the front door.
"I know."
"Well come on then, let's go in, lay down the law to these little punks."
"Faith." Buffy said gently but by way of warning.
Faith held up her hands as if in surrender.
"OK, let's lay down the law to these... young women. That better?"
Buffy gave her a small smile.
"It's a start."
Faith smirked then licked her lips as she straightened up.
"Want me to go in there first?"
Buffy looked at her and Faith could see how nervous she was about this. Sure, Buffy could always be a leader but she was now in charge of girl's lives and Faith couldn't even begin to imagine what a burden that must be to carry, she didn't want to. It was one of the reasons she wanted to do this whole thing with Buffy. Two Slayers sharing the burden. It had to be easier, right?
The blonde finally nodded and without thinking, Faith reached down and took Buffy's hand.
She stopped once she'd realized what she'd one and immediately let Buffy's hand go.
"Sorry B. Force of habit."
Buffy only smiled at her.
"It's OK, just..."
"I get it." Faith cut in, wanting to save herself from further embarrassment.
Faith walked ahead as Buffy followed, arms folded.
Faith opened the door and stepped into a living room full of girls who instantly broke into smiles when they saw her.
"Faith!"
"You're back!"
"Oh thank God, we couldn't do this without you!"
The noise of their voices angered Faith when she thought of the blonde currently standing by the door behind her, just out of sight of all the others.
"We gotta talk, alright?" Faith said calmly and as expected, they all sat there, ready to listen.
Faith licked her lips, not sure how to begin but also damn sure that she wanted to tell them all exactly what she thought.
"So I got your messages." She began, cracking her knuckles as she looked round at all the expectant faces.
"You kicked B out, huh?"
Willow went to stand.
"Buffy thought that-"
Faith shot her a look and held up a hand.
"No, I don't want the lies Red. I know that you kicked her out in favour of me coming back here. You gotta know that I am not B. She's a leader. I'm a party girl. You call me for a good time, a drink, maybe some quick hard and fast sex, I dunno, but B? Now she's the one you want as your leader. She's..." Faith fumbled for the words that always remained in her heart, even when they basically hated each other. She found them hard to say now, especially to this group of girls who were currently looking like they worshiped her.
"Listen, she's got a good heart. She's strong and she's true and yes she comes across hard and strict but that's only because she's trying to make you guys into better versions of yourselves. You need to understand the seriousness of this. It's the First. The big bad evil where everything comes from and we need to be ready and the only way we are ever gonna do that is to have Buffy here."
The potentials looked at each other and Faith saw the guilt pass in their eyes.
"So...how do we get her back?" One asked, their voice small.
Faith grinned and stepped back.
Buffy knew that was her cue to walk in and all the potentials looked relieved that she was back and ashamed that they had kicked her out in the first place.
Faith went to the other side of the room, letting Buffy have the floor.
Xander went over to Faith, he looked a little nervous but as always, was trying to cover it up with humor.
"Faith, I just wanna say-"
"Save it. You guys tossed B out on her ass without so much as an explanation. I don't need to hear anything you have to say."
Willow looked at Faith then and her dark gaze shot to the witch, daring her to say another word.
"That goes for you too."
Buffy started telling the potentials about just what they were up against and how much more training they would have to do. She also told them that it wasn't going to be just her training them, Faith and her were a team now and they would listen to both of them equally.
Faith nodded her head when Buffy looked at her to show that she understood.
"Training begins tomorrow at sun up. Get some sleep for now." Buffy said as she headed for the stairs.
Willow went over to her.
"Buffy-"
"Do I still have a bed up there?" The blonde Slayer snapped.
Willow closed her eyes and nodded her head slowly.
Buffy climbed the stairs then stopped.
"Faith? You wanna share?"
The brunette looked at Xander, Willow and Anya before she joined Buffy on the stairs.
"Yeah, cos this doesn't look weird at all." Faith muttered in Buffy's ear.
"Let them think what they want." Buffy said dismissively and Faith shrugged.
Buffy's room was thankfully, just as she'd left it.
The double bed beckoned to Faith and for months on end of sleeping in lump motel beds, she would be pleased to sleep in a comfortable bed for a change but then she had to think about this; Buffy might have invited her up to her room in front of the others but that didn't mean that they would be sharing a bed, especially not with their track record.
Faith decided to make herself comfortable on the floor when Buffy went into the bathroom.
When the blonde came out again, she looked down and saw Faith laying on her back on the floor, staring straight up at the ceiling.
"What are you doing?" Buffy asked with a slight chuckle.
"Uh, gettin' comfy, see?" She said, gesturing to the blanket.
Buffy rolled her eyes.
"Come on, get in." She said she went over to her closet and changed into a top and pj shorts.
Faith climbed into Buffy's bed and watched as the other Slayer took her long hair out of her hair clip, the blonde waves falling down her back.
Oh God, how was Faith even meant to sleep in the same bed as this woman?
Faith licked her lips and swallowed, trying to get a grip and failing when Buffy slid in beside her.
"Are you OK?" Buffy asked, turning on her side to face the brunette.
Faith nodded.
"Sure."
Buffy propped herself up on one elbow and looked at her.
"This isn't making you feel...things?"
Faith frowned slightly, prepared to go into denial mode if she had to.
"No. Not at all."
"Are you sure?"
"Why you pushing me B? I said it's fine." Faith finally snapped.
Buffy bit back a grin and placed a kiss on the other Slayer's cheek.
"OK, night Faith."
Instinctively, Faith reached out, her hand locking around the top of Buffy's arm, holding her in place.
"I lied."
Buffy frowned a little in confusion.
"About?"
"This is making me feel things." Faith admitted, her voice small.
Buffy smiled and then lent down, placing her lips gently against the other Slayer's.
When she pulled back, she smiled into Faith's eyes.
"Good."
"Are you serious?" Faith asked, her voice cracking and she wanted to kick herself for it.
"Wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it." Buffy said, her voice well controlled, Faith noted with some measure of annoyance.
For a while, Faith didn't move and Buffy rolled her eyes.
"Are you waiting for permission?"
"No, I just-"
"Then get on over here." Buffy purred.
Faith growled low in her throat and pushed herself on top of Buffy. Both Slayers both gasped as they felt their bodies molding together.
"God B..."
Buffy's hands came up and gripped Faith's shoulders from under her arms.
Faith settled herself between the blonde's legs and pushed her hips forward and into the other Slayer.
Buffy could feel how wet Faith was just from this alone.
"Been a while?"
"Shut up." Faith groaned as Buffy pushed her own hips forward so that they made this delicious friction with Faith's.
The blonde moaned and fisted a hand in Faith's hair.
"I forgot how good you were at this." She panted in Faith's ear.
Faith grinned, her old swagger coming back.
"It's not over yet babe." She whispered, her hand sliding down Buffy's torso and finding her way to Buffy's center.
"Oh shi-Faith!" Buffy gasped when she felt Faith enter her.
"Just ride with me baby, I got you."
Brown eyes locked with hazel and some sort of deep understanding passed between them as Buffy smiled up at her warmly.
"I know you do."
And they both knew she wasn't just talking about the sex.
Buffy closed her eyes as Faith kissed her and moved her fingers at the same time.
Soon Buffy was gasping into Faith's mouth as Faith fucked her a little harder.
"You're holding back." Buffy panted.
Faith frowned as she slowed the pace of her fingers.
"What? No I'm not."
"I won't break Faith. Let go."
Faith licked her lips and nodded.
They kissed and it was hard and bruising as Faith's fingers sped up.
"Faith..."
"Buffy..."
The both moaned each other's names, not caring who heard them in the other rooms.
"I'm-I'm-"
"Coming?" Faith finished for her with a grin.
Buffy bit her lip and nodded.
"Not yet babe." Faith teased as she pulled her fingers out of her.
"What? Oh come on!" Buffy groaned as Faith slid down her body, pulling Buffy's shorts with her.
Buffy's back bowed as Faith gave her long one swipe through her center and the other Slayer's legs started to shake.
Buffy grabbed Faith's hair and used it to drag the brunette back up her body and kiss her harshly, teeth and tongues battling for dominance.
"For fuck's sake Faith, will make me come already?"
Faith grinned and plunged her fingers back inside of the blonde.
With just a few strokes, Faith had Buffy coming hard and fast, her hips bucking underneath her as Faith's fingers kept up their relentless pace.
Once she was sure Buffy was sated, Faith slowed her movements to bring her back down gently and then removed her fingers, rolling onto her back beside Buffy.
Faith glanced at the blonde and grinned as she panted heavily beside her.
"Was that good for you?" Faith asked.
Buffy nodded, not being able to speak as she tried to get her breath back.
Faith leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Buffy's lips.
"Good. Now get some sleep. We gotta be up early in the morning."
"What about...you." Buffy asked, still breathing heavy.
Faith shrugged.
"You can make it up to me tomorrow night."
Buffy grinned and soon found herself in a blissful sleep.
Faith watched her for a while, a thousand thoughts running through her mind.
What did this mean for them?
Did it mean anything to Buffy?
Was it a way to get back at her friends for some strange reason?
And the most important question of all; what did Faith do when Buffy decided this was no longer what she wanted?
