About a ten minute walk from Sunnydale High is Veteran's Park. It has the usual, playing fields, a fountain, a playground for the young. This park had an added pleasure, a pond home to geese, ducks and chirping birds. At the far end was a huge tree and from one of it's sturdy branches a swing was hung. It was large enough to seat two people and that's where Buffy and Willow headed.
They weren't surprised to see a young couple already occupying it though they had hoped it would be theirs to use. The problem was they were both wearing skirts so plopping down just any where wasn't as easy as you thought.
They had just spun to go find another place to share the afternoon when the couple stood up and left. Buffy and Willow were on it in a flash.
They sat silently for a while. Content. Happy. In love.
"Buffy? I just want to say I've never been happier in my whole life as I am at this moment." Willow wanted to touch Buffy even if it was to only hold her hand but there were so many people around that it made it impossible. Unless they were willing to suffer the consequences that would surely bring. Gossip. So they had to settle for sitting, hips touching, an occasional brushing of the shoulders. If they had been in a giggly mood they could have masked the added contact by appearing to be two silly, silly teens playfully enjoying the nit witted company of each other.
But both were somber, the thoughts of Saturday night still fresh in their heads.

When Buffy came over she had brought her own clothes in an overnight bag and once up in Willow's room had placed it on the floor of Willow's bedroom. They spent a few hours, a painfully long few hours under the circumstances, playing Monopoly with Willow's parents. Finally it had grown late enough to go up to bed.
On the way up the stairs Willow had said in a hushed voice. "Next time it'll be on a night mom and dad are out visiting."
"It was fun. I like them," Buffy said politely trying to ease any guilt Willow had that the delay of how they really wanted to spend the night had doing was so long in coming.
Once in Willow's room Buffy went over and sat on the bed as Willow closed the door and locked it. She then turned to face Buffy. She could see Buffy was as nervous as she was. Buffy was folding and unfolding her hands but her eyes were steady, completely focused on Willow's eyes.
Willow came over to the bed and sat down beside Buffy. Nothing was said. They sat there for a moment, unmoving. Then the magic of mutual attraction took over and slowly their mouths found each others. The kiss.........oh so sweet. Soft lips against soft lips.
Shortly, "Well that's a start." Willow reached up and brushed Buffy's hair off her forehead. She let her hand fall to the cheek and with gentle pressure again brought Buffy's mouth to her own.
The passion clicked up a level and Buffy's hands moved around to enclose Willow in her arms. As the kiss built their bodies pressed tighter together. Willow tugged Buffy's blouse from the waist of her white shorts and slid her hands under it to enjoy the feel of naked skin.
"Let me take it off." Buffy reached up to unbutton the top of her blouse.
Willow stopped her. "No. That's my job. I want to undress you, honey."
As their relationship budded further Buffy would learn that Willow found it exciting to be the one undressing Buffy. And in turn she wanted Buffy to undress her. Piece by piece.
Willow undid the top button, then the next, then the next. All the time holding Buffy's mouth to hers. When the blouse was completely undone Willow draped it open and her hands found the flesh above Buffy's bra. Her touch was gentle as it explored, roaming tenderly across to each shoulder, then her mouth left Buffy's and went to the hollow of Buffy's neck. Kiss after kiss, nipping, nibbling, licking until all of the neck, ear and shoulders had been covered.
Buffy felt her blouse fall away and Willow leaned back and held her hands over her head. Buffy pulled the tank top Willow was wearing up over her head and threw it aside. "There. That's more like it."
Willow's bra was white and Buffy looked at it, then she put her palms under the straps and slid them down into the cups, again feeling the diamond hardness of the nipples beneath as she had before at the drive-in.
Willow put her own hands over the cup of Buffy's bra. Even through the cotton she could feel the fullness of the breasts under the bra. Their mouths joined once again and this time the lust was even greater. Hands exploring, pressing, exciting as the open mouth, deep kissing moved to the next stage. Willow's tongue met Buffy's and danced, rubbed, prodded.
Willow reached back and unhooked the clasps to Buffy's bra and Buffy did the same with Willow's. Now their naked breasts were flattened against the others.
Shortly, the last of their outer clothes were gone and only their underpants remained.
Buffy kissed Willow over onto her back and moved on top of her as Willow groaned and withered beneath her. Buffy's upper leg pushed against at the sweetness between Willow's legs. Against her core. Willow drew her knee up slightly so that her thigh was fully against Buffy's own center.
And, mouths locked, they moved in rhythm with each other. And into a world they had never known before. But a world they would visit many, many more times. Together.
Willow pulled her mouth off Buffy's and screamed silently in pleasure and her pleasure, her rapture, lighted and released the surging, uncontrollable explosion in Buffy's groin.
They clung to each other, Buffy gasping and Willow crying softly as they melted back from the brink.
Willow buried her head against Buffy's neck letting her tears flow fully now. Buffy just clung, deliriously happy, calmed, satisfied to hold the sobbing body in her arms.
And that's how they remained for a long time.

"I felt you up," Willow said a large smile of disbelief on her face as she recalled the night they had made love.
Buffy's hand was playing with the chain suspending the swing. Willow's voice brought her back to the present. "Well, duh!!! If you hadn't I would've been massively pissed off."
Willow grew serious, her forehead wrinkling. "We really didn't go all the way, did we? I mean all the way to the end."
"Disappointed?"
Willow frowned thoughtfully. "Not really. I'm not sure. I was kinda scared I wouldn't be doing it right. That I'd let you down. Be clumsy."
"So was I," Buffy had to admit. "Scared that I would be letting YOU down. It's all so new. Kissing, and feeling each other up is one thing. But.........more? I want so bad Will. To be totally with you. Giving, taking, everything that goes with it. I just need it."
"Oh Buffy, so do I. Next time we'll do it all. We won't be so scared. Anyway, you know what?"
"What?"
Willow lowered her voice. There was no one around so it wasn't necessary to have but she did. "I had an orgasm. At least I think I did. It just rose and rose and rose inside me until I erupted. I can't imagine what it will be like when we," Willow waved her hands in front of her trying to find the right words. "When we.........when we..........."
Buffy helped her out. "Fuck!"
"Yeah," Willow squealed. "Yeah!!!"
Buffy had spoken the word softly. Willow had replied loud enough to attract some curious stares from an elderly couple standing at the edge of the pond.
Willow waved at them meekly, then she turned to Buffy and ran her fingers across her mouth as if she was closing a zipper.
"Well, I had one too. An orgasm. It was the most awesome feeling. I think I could become addicted." Buffy studied the red head 's features. Gosh, she sighed to herself, I love Willow so very much. Is sex love? Is love sex? No. Both are different. Two separate experiences. Either are possible without the other. BUT... sex with the one you love is the ultimate. the summit and I have it. I am so very grateful.
"Do you think we could do another sleep over? Soon?" Willow asked this time venturing to give Buffy's hand a squeeze.
"As they say, my place or yours?"
"And lets go all the way. Okay? Even if we are not so hot at it. We can learn." Willow rocked the swing back with a push of her foot on the ground.
"Practice, practice, practice." Buffy said lightly and let the glow of love between her and Willow fill her heart.
I feel good, peaceful, both thought and despite the outside world they leaned into each other and kissed.
THE END
