Willow awoke, and stretched. She glanced next to her and smiled. Buffy was lying next to her, naked. She looked down at herself to find she was equally as naked, as the event of the night before drifted through her mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Buffy, I--" Willow was about to say something about what Buffy had spoken to her about earlier, but Buffy had put her finger up to Willow's lips and simply said, "Don't." She had kissed her with all her being, and leaned her gently back onto the bed. She'd positioned herself comfortably above Willow, and was moving around in all the right places. As she was kissing her friend, her lover, she had moved her hands upward and unbuttoned Willow's blouse, revealing an amorous amount of creamy, pale skin. She had then reached downwards, and started on the buttons to her jeans, and reached beneath the waistband of her panties to get to--

"Will? Willow?" Buffy clicked her fingers in front of the redheads lust-filled eyes. "Willow!" Willow's eyes flew to Bufy's clicking fingers. "Huhh?" Willow had snapped out of her daydream to meet a cranky-looking Slayer. "Well, there you are! I've been calling you for the last 5 minutes!" Willow blushed. "Sorry, Buff, I was just thinking..." Buffy grinned. "Well, judging by the look you had in your eyes, it better have been about me." She reached over and gently tucked a bit of Willow's growing fringe behind her ear. Willow ducked her head, causing the bit of hair to pull free again, and Buffy giggled. "Stubborn, huh?" Willow giggled. Buffy looked into her eyes, then gave her a quick peck on the lips. "I wanna go swimming!" Willow looked at her, dazed. Buffy sure was good at jumping from conversation to conversation. "Uhh, okay..." She got up, and went to the door. Buffy giggled. "What?" Buffy looked at her, and also got up. Willow blushed at her mistake. "Oh. Getting dressed could be fun, too!"

Willow wore a floral pink and yellow bikini, where Buffy wore an aqua colored bikini. Willow surveyed the environment. "Uh, Buffy, it's kinda... deserted." Buffy winked at her. "That's the plan, silly!" She walked off toward the stairs, wiggling her butt as she did. Willow shook her head, and smiled. Buffy could be so cute. Willow ran off after Buffy, grabbed her around the waist and enveloed her in a hug. She nestled her head into Buffy's soft hair, and breathed in, inhaling her unique scent. When they broke apart, Buffy was flushed, but smiling. "What was that for?" Willow shrugged. "For you." Willow took Buffy hands, and dragged her down the stairs into the water. "Oooh." Willow shivered. "It's cold." Buffy waded over to her and gave her a hug. "Better?" Willow faked a shiver. "Ohh, no, I'm still cold. I think you need to do better." Buffy kissed her, deeply and with love. She slipped her tongue into her mouth, and danced the tango with it. She could do this forever. "Better now?" Willow swayed gently to the waves of the pool water. "I, uh... mmmm." Buffy rolled her eyes, and began to swim laps, leaving Willow still swaying.

About three hours later, they were both very tired, and looking for home. Willow was the first to jump out of the pool, followed closely by Buffy. They grabbed their respective towels, and began the short walk back to the dorms.

"Buff... I wanna talk about it." Buffy nodded. It was time. "Okay."

"Look... I knwo you wanted to protect me and stuff... but did you even think it might've hurt me more if you didn't tell me? If you suddenly died, and I had no idea why?"

"Will, I'm sorry. I thought... I thought if I told you... you'd never love me as much as I love you." Willow was stunned. Literally stunned; she stopped in her tracks. "Buffy if your skin turned green, and you started dripping pus, I'd still love you." She took both of Buffy's hands in her own, accidentally dropping the towel she was holding in her hands, and Buffy's in her hands. "My love for you is unconditional and it's going to stay that way." Tears were forming in Buffy's eyes, and she pulled Willow in for a kiss, ignoring a wolf whistle from an obnoxious 15-year-old boy on the other side of the street. They broke apart, and keept walking hand-in-hand, leaving their towels on the street. Willow continued to think to herself.

'Buffy, I'm gonna save you. I promise.'
