A Dance of Faeries/ Just a Whisper of Rose 1/?
by Nyka
_____________
I loved to watch her slay. I didn't know if she was gonna stake them
or just annoy them to death sometimes. But it always ended the same.
They died. Again.
She's really graceful in her movements sometimes, others she just
goes through the motions. Tonight, she's out for Vengence.
"I don't like it when you go after my friends" She barks at a
particulary rude vamp "You see they're kinda off limits. Like a
'touch them and I'll kill you' thing"
He kicks her in the stomach, she lands a few feet away flat on her
back.
I leave the shadows and jump into action.
A quick kick in the back, a punch to the temple, I pull out my knife
and cut off his head.
The dust gets in my mouth "Eww, he tasted like death warmed over"
"Way to join the fight Faith, I thought you were just gonna oogle me
all night" she jokes rising to her feet.
She doesn't mean it as an insult, though some may see it as one.
"I was gonna let you have them. I know how you so love to kill them
with your quirkiness" I say sarcastically.
She looks at me in confusion "Did you say quirkiness" she shakes her
head at me "You just get more and more like us everyday Faith"
"Naw B, you just get more like me" I pat her on the back, I ignore
the thrill it sends up my spine when I touch her.
She stiffens. I don't think she likes my touch. Oh well, maybe
that 'don't fuck with me' persona has made her wary of me. I hope
not. I'd really like to get along with her.
"So what happened" I ask brushing dust off her leather jacket. This
one's light brown, brings out her beautiful eyes.
"Willow got attacked" she pushes her hair out of her eyes, some dust
falls off her head "The dead guy you ate was trying to absorb her
magic into some kinda diamond thingie"
"Oh" I have no clue how that could happen. But Willow's nice. I'm
glad I staked him.
"Coming back to the library with me" she offers me her elbow.
I brush dust off myself and accept it "Why the hell not"
________________________________________________________
She chatters all the way there. Something about a test she swore she
didn't know about. Even though they tell you a week in advance.
"So you failed it" I ask when she pauses for breath.
"No. I just didn't pass" she makes an adorable puppy face. I have
ths sudden urge to kiss her. I barely stop myself from leaning
towards her. She really is beautiful. But I've said that already
haven't I?
It runs through my head constantly. I don't know how many
reptitions. She's just so beautiful.
I guess I'm silent to long. She's looking at me now.
"There's something different about you Faith" her voice is so soft.
"Maybe I'm turning into an angel" I joke.
She chuckles and pulls me tighter to her "I knew there was one in
there somewhere"
"I wish I knew what you meant by that" I mutter.
"Just take it as a compliment" she rests her head on my shoulder.
She's such an affectionate little thing. Sometimes when she's with
Willow and Xander, it hard to believe she fights the forces of evil.
You can tell her touch is gentle, especially on Willow. I'd wonder
if there was something there, if she didn't have a boy-friend.
"Thank you" I say relaxing my shoulder to make her more comfortable.
I don't want her to let go.
"Just stating a fact"

"There's a demon that sucks the life force out of witches" Willow's
voice breaks when she says this.
Buffy's holding her hand and trying to be supportive.
I see how much she cares for Willow. I decide to kill the demon.
Wait, I already have.
"Well yes" Giles cleans his glasses yet again.
"Faith killed him" Buffy says softly.
"I hope so" Willow's whisper is so low that only Buffy and I hear
her "I'm still scared though. What if they travel in packs. What if
more come?"
"I'll protect you" Buffy and I say at the same time.
"Wow" Xander cuts in "Two slayers. One witch. I think this calls for
a sleepover"
"A Xander-less sleepover" Buffy smiles "Just me Faith and Willow"
"In the same bed" Xander drools with an 'ooh lesbians' look on his
face.
Giles drops a book in his lap accidently on purpose.
Xander doesn't say much after that.
"Well congradulations Faith, you may possibly have saved Willows
life" Giles says without looking at me. I honestly think the man
doesn't like me. Not that it matters. It's not him that I care about.
"Thanks Faith" Willow's smile is weak and scared.
"Any friend of Buffy's" I shrug, I don't know what to say.
Buffy smiles at me.

Willow's got the biggest bed so we go there.
Her parents are at home. Something that surprises them both. Luckily
it's Friday.
Her mother looks at me like I'm the devil incarnate. I smile
wickedly at her and lick my fingers.
She doesn't look at me for the rest of the night.
Willow's room is nice I guess. It fits her personality.
"Here you can wear these" she hands me fuzzy pink pajamas.
"I don't do pink" I try to hand them back.
Buffy shoves them into my chest. I can feel the heat of her hand
through the flannel. It's right over my breast.
"It's either this or you sleep naked" she tells me.
I smile and back up. When I began to pull my shirt over my head they
both turn around.
"What like you've never seen boobs before" I tease.
I can see Willow's blush on the back of her neck.
Buffy turns back around "Ok I'll watch"
Willow makes a small sound we both ignore.
I pull the shirt off.
"Look Ma no bra" Buffy chuckles.
Willow's head turns and she gets an eyeful before she squeals and
turns away again.
I lose the pants and climb in the bed.
Buffy takes off her own pants and joins me.
Willow protests "I can't get in there. She's.....naked"
I have panties on. Buffy tells her as much.
"But...still...naked...top" she stutters. She makes a few vowel
sounds.
"So one of Xanders fantasies is coming true" Buffy's perky reply
makes Willow laugh "Now get in this bed"
She stiffens her resolve. You can see it on her face. She gets in
the bed between me and Buffy. Her back is too me and I can see she's
tense.
She's dressed like Buffy just her shirt and panties.
I moved up against her back and spoon her from behind.
She whimpers and Buffy laughs, before she hugs Willow to her face to
face.
"All worry and no fun make Willow a dull girl" I joke from behind
her.
"Three women in one bed make Xander a drooling boy" Willow adds.
"Oh stop it, your turning me on" Buffy jokes.
Willow blushes but laughs.
We talk for a while before Willow drifts off.
Buffy isn't far behind her.
I've never been this close to either of them before. I can smell
their skin.
Willow smells like lavender. Buffy smells like spices, and just a
whisper of rose.
I fall asleep, feeling accepted. With their scents in my nose.
