Waking up
by Lost
Finally, and understanding was reached!
[reviews]
Willow closed her eyes, and braced herself, waiting for what she was sure would come. And then it did. Buffy's soft lips touched her own, and she nearly died at the thought that her overwhelming fantasy had finally come true. Buffy felt the tension fall out of Willow's body as she slowly ran her tongue along the other girl's lips, asking for an intrance pass which was quickly granted. Buffy threw herself into the kiss, into Willow.
Willow was in heaven. Buffy heaven. It was even better than she had imagined, and she quickly put all the passion she could behind her kiss. A few seconds in though, Buffy pulled back.
"I had to see." The blonde says cryptically, looking at her hands.
"See what?" Willow asked, noticing the quick change in Buffy's demeanor. She had suddenly become rigid, and looked almost frightened.
"See which one feels the most right." Buffy said, and without looking at the redhead, began to pace the room.
"Well... which one was it?" She asked, a nearly hopeless tone in her voice.
"I. I dont know." She bit off as she started pacing more frantically.
"You dont know?!" Willow raised an eyebrow, "That's so not fair. You've been kissing Angel all this time, and he has way more practice at it than me, I mean, I haven't even-" She was cut off as the blonde pushed their lips back together again. Willow smiled into the kiss, and pulled back to look at the blonde.
"So did I win?" She asked cutely, and when Buffy nodded in response, she asked "So what's my prize?"
"Me." The blonde said before suddenly Willow heard someone say, "Hello, Willow?" and she opened her eyes. To see Buffy sitting there, staring at her. Had she imagined it? Or had it really happened? She wet her lips, convinced that a trace of the blonde would still be there, but alas, there was none.
"Huh?" She asked brilliantly, a confused expression on her face.
"I said, one of us has to start, and that's all I got out before you like...zoned out or something." Buffy said frustratedly, she seemed to be getting no where with the redhead.
"Oh...well, I guess I can start." She said as she now stared at her hands, much like her daydream Buffy had been doing not twenty seconds ago. And that's all she said. That was it, Buffy stared at her, to see that the redhead had zoned out again. She sighed before she took both the girl's arms in hers, and began shaking her.
"Earth to Willow! Wake up Willow!" She said in a star commander voice.
"I am awake...I was just...remembering." She said softly.
"Okay... Well, you said you'd start...so start. Why did you kiss me?" Buffy asked bluntly.
"Because I did."
"Well, why?"
"Because I did." The redhead repeated herself.
"That doesn't tell me why!" Buffy's indignance rose a bit at how Willow seemed to be giving her the roundabout.
"Because...." Willow trailed off.
"Because what? Gah Will, you'd think you could finish a thought at least!" Buffy said, channeling her frustration in the hopes that the redhead would notice.
"Oh, because I'm in love with you." Willow stated simply as Buffy's eyes widened, she looked back down, and suddenly heard a key in the door down the hall. "Crap...that's my mom, I forgot she was coming back today. Hide!" She said as she layed down in the bed, and did her best to look sick.
"Oh, Willow honey, are you okay, I would've thought you'd be in school." Sheila Rosenburg said as she put a hand to her daughters forehead.
"Im fine mom, just a bad stomach ache." Willow clearly lied as she turned crimson red.

Under the bed:
Buffy fought the urge to sneeze as she listened to the redhead make small talk with her mother, and just as her mom was aobut to leave...she lost it. "Achoo!" She said loudly, then slapped her hand over her mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Achoo!" came out from under the bed, and Willow qucickly covered her mouth.
"You okay dear?" Sheila asked, and once she saw Willow's nod, left the room, leaving the door partially open. Buffy crawled out.
"Okay, so now we really need to talk." Willow said determinedly.
"Yeah." Buffy said before she leaned in and kissed the redhead. "Sorry, but I had to do that. To be sure." She paused dramatically for a moment, then said, "I think I might be in love with you too Willow Rosenburg."
