Chapter One
Buffy and Willow walked away from Giles and Xander hand in hand. They were gonna have a sleep over that night, and went to Willow's locker so that she could pick up her school stuff.
Buffy looked around the hall to make sure that the coast was clear...as soon as she saw it was she leaned over and gave her girlfriend a quick kiss on the lips. Willow had known it was coming...it was like a routine with her and Buffy, every day Buffy would walk her to her locker, look around to make sure that they were alone, and then lean in for a kiss. The first time she'd done this Willow had been a bit surprised. Not because she had kissed her, but because she had done so in public, but since that time it had become one of her favorite times of the day.
Xander was almost certain that Willow had met someone...but he wasn't sure who. She would come to school with Buffy every morning, looking all moony-eyed, and in love....at least for the last few weeks. So, he figured she had a new boy that she like, and was all too relieved to realize that she had finally stopped liking him. Not that he didn't love Willow...he did, but not in the sense that you love your girlfriend, he loved her more in the sense of a sister, or even a best friend would be more accurate. Buffy on the other hand...well, she was a different story. He loved her, of that much he was sure, but she had been looking all love sick lately too... 'Probably Angel' he thought bitterly to himself. That guy really got on his nerves, but he couldn't really force Buffy to hate him the way that he did. He had watched the girls walk off together, talking to each other as though they were the only ones in the world. They had been holding hands...but that was typical of them. Females were after all much more open about affection than males were.
So he was left to watch as his two best friends headed towards Willow's locker as they had done for the last month or so. It felt normal to him...something he now accepted without question. Giles rambled on about something, mentioning that he had never found any refrence to memory loss....Xander replied, but not with much gusto. He wanted to see what the girls were doing, so he quickly said goodbye to the Watcher and headed in the direction of Willow's locker.
As he rounded the corner he saw them at her locker, talking about something. He hid in the nearest doorway, hoping that the classroom was empty. Luckily it was. Then he heard the locker shut, and Willow and Buffy passed his doorway (holding hands again) without so much as a glance in his direction.
Something was going on, and he intended to find out what. Those two had been joined at the hip lately, as though they were becoming more than just friends. A mental image flashed through his brain and he suddenly felt a little bit too hot. 'Xander,' he chided himself 'they wouldn't ever do anything like that.' 'would they?' a second voice asked quietly as he headed off in the direction of Buffy's house.
