Spread across a traditional red-checked blanket, Buffy and Willow eyed their snacks. Bread, cheese, tomato, butter, tomato sauce for some reason, syrups, spreads of various kinds, mayonaisse, mustard, hot dog rolls, the reason of which they were packed neither girl was sure of, chocolate cake, chocolate in general, whipped cream, strawberries and even the last bit of ice cream. "We're never going to eat all of this." Willow stated. "Yeah, but isn't it fun?" Buffy grinned. Silence fell for a few seconds, as they both inexplicably thought back to the morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surprisingly, Buffy had been the first to awaken. She realised that her and Willow had fallen asleep together, when she tried to strech her limbs and instead of searing pain, she found that her legs were entwined with someone elses. She had laid in Willow's arms, watching her friend sleep. She watched her chest move up and down as she breathed. She saw that her eyes were still red and puffy for the hours of tears that had leaked from her emerald eyes. The same eyes she had seen flutter open that moment.
"Morning." Willow had said sleepily. "Morning, Will."
"Buffy, I--"
"Will, do you--"
They had both smiled, amused at their minds being in synchronisation. Willow nodded to her friend. "You go first." Buffy smiled. "I was just gonna ask, do you wanna do something today? Something fun." Willow's brow creased as she considered the options. "But Buffy you've been so tried... and with the um... the..." Buffy had stared down. She hated to feel weak, and that's exactly how she was feeling. Buffy knew Willow had picked up on this, as she forced her expression to brighten. "You wanna see a movie or something?" Buffy shook her head. "I was thinking something a little more active... well, not active but outdoors-ish. It's a gorgeous day," she remembred saying as she indicated through the window, "And I don't really want to spend all day inside. What do you say to a picnic?" Willow had genuinely smiled at her friend's romantic.... er, playful nature. "Sure, Buff."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy shook herself out of her daydream, and poked Willow. "Eeep!" Willow squealed, the poke interrupting her train of thought. "Willllllllll," Buffy drew out her friend's name. Willow rolled her eyes. She knew that Buffy only used this term when she wanted something. "What do you want, Buff?" Buffy put her best puppy dog eyes on. "Feed me?"
Those two words sparked something inside of Willow, and she felt her knees melt and her heart turn to jelly. Or her heart melt, and her knees turn to jelly. She wasn't really thinking straight. She took a gulp of air, and replied. "Sure, Buff. What do you want?" Buffy looked at her coyly.
"Strawberries and cream."
Willow took a spoon, and sliced a bit of strawberry onto it, then got a can of wipped cream, and squirted some on the top of the bit of strawberry. She aimed the spoon at buffys open mouth, and at the last second Buffy turned her head, getting cream over most of her cheek, and a bit on her lips. She made no move to clean it off, so Willow leaned over gently to wipe the cream off of Buffy's cheek with her fingers. She slowly put her middle and index fingers into her mouht and sucked the cream off, then leaned forward to lick the cream off of Buffy lips. As her tongue worked it's way around Buffy's lips, Buffy captured Willow's mouth with her own, resulting in a deep, sensual kiss. As Willow let out a slight moaned, Buffy used the chance to slip her tongue into Willow's warm, wet mouth and massage her tongue.
After what seemed like hours, they finally broke apart, both panting for breath. "What... how... ummm..." Willow blushed, as she tried to get her words out. Buffy grinned, and, if possible, moved closer to her best friend, and enveloped her into a big bear hug. "Hey Will?" Buffy asked. "Umm, yeah?"
"Let's go home." Willow smiled. "Of course... anything you want."
