Chapter 2: Waking to a Dream


Willow turned around in her bed for the now umpteenth time, desperately trying to find out what the right thing to do was. Once again she faced her roommate, her best friend, who slept peacefully in her own bed just across the room. The sun had meanwhile began to rise, and was now playing through the half-closed curtains across Buffy's face.

Before the redhead noticed it, a smile had appeared on her face, as she marveled in the beauty of her friend. 'Beauty...that's not a word you use often in association with your best friend.'

But fact was, she knew exactly why just this word had crept into her thinking. After Buffy's confession the day before, she hadn't been able to sleep.The first half of the night she had tried to figure out, why such a thing would affect her this much. How the admittance of her friend, that she loved her in a "you make me tingly all over" or an "let's get naked into a bed and do it" kind of way, could do so much to the redhead.

The other half of the night, she had denied what she had found out, not being able, not wanting to go through what the consequences of that path couldbe.

But now, as she saw the face of her best friend, shed of all the hardness it had gained over the years of slaying, of seeing things other people couldn't even imagine, of having to go through hell at times, now she couldn't deny it anymore. Now she was sure that she had to at least give this a try, learn to live with her feelings, and learn to return Buffy's love.

She got up and walked over to the Slayer's bed and took a seat next to the lying form of her... 'Friend? Lover? Just what are we now Buffy?' Whatever they now shared, or would share as soon as her friend woke up, it would have some far reaching consequences, some of which she didn't even know.

But for now, she just wanted to watch her friend sleep, admire her beauty, and marvel in the feeling Buffy caused within her. She stood up again and closed the curtains to prevent the sunlight from waking her friend. Then shewalked around the bed and slipped under the covers. Carefully she wriggledan arm under the sleeping form in front of her and laid the other around it, effectively taking Buffy into a tender embrace. She put her head onto the blonde's shoulder and relaxed into the comfort and safety she now felt.

For the first time since Oz had left, she knew that she would wake up next to somebody she loved, and that feeling warmed her heart and her soul, and it didn't take long until she was tightly asleep. And for the rest of the morning, she didn't let Buffy out of her hug, because for now, the Slayer was all that had a meaning to Willow.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buffy moved to the music that blared onto the dancing floor of the Bronze. A crowd of men stood around her as she selected one and entered his personal room and began dancing with him. The lucky one of the moment felt her hips grinding into his before she moved on to the next.

This went on for a while, until the music slowed down, and everyone went tolook for a dance partner. Riley made his way over to Buffy, who patiently awaited the tall blonde. He reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her close to his chest, and they started to sway to the music.

But this didn't go on long, as Riley suddenly felt somebody tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find Willow behind him.

"Willow? What are you doing here?" he asked, slightly annoyed by this disturbance.

"I wanted to dance with Buffy", she answered him, never taking her eyes offher friend.

"You what?! Buffy, could you please tell her to leave? This is a private dance", he commanded, turning back to the Slayer, only to find her in a similar state as Willow.

"Buffy?"

He realized that it was useless. The two girls were entranced by each other. Hesitantly he led his girlfriend into the redhead's arms. As the pair started their dance, he faded into the background.

The two danced throughout the song, into the next and the one after that. Even as the music changed, they didn't stop their rhythm, and everything else became meaningless. The whole dance floor, the whole Bronze faded into blackness as the two girls' lips met in an eternal kiss. Seconds became hours, hours became months, months became decades, and decades became millennia as the kiss continued to burn through every single nerve of Buffy.

As time ended, they broke apart, and Willow left Buffy and faded, just as everything else had before, into the black.

"Willow... Please don't leave me..."

But it was too late. Everything became blurry as the dream ended and Buffy was separated from her love.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She awoke and, one by one, her senses came back, leaving a very unhappy slayer in bed. But this changed as soon as she had managed to figure out whereshe was.

First her hearing managed to catch something. Not quite recognizable at first, she could distinctly hear breathing behind her. The next thing she noticed was that an arm was draped across her waist, meeting with another hand that was slipped underneath her. Something hard rested against her shoulder, after a short consideration she guessed it was the chin of the person that was sleeping in her bed.

She just hoped that she hadn't ended in this position after drinking too much alcohol, not to speak of beer --one time as cave-slayer was enough--, and having sex with some guy from the campus. That was the last thing she wanted. She tried to remember what had happened last night, but all that came into her mind was Willow.

After a short while she managed to open her eyes a little bit, only to findthe bed beside her empty. Almost going into a permanent shock, her eyes shot open and she was immediately wide-awake, scanning the whole room for hermissing friend. First she checked the clock; it wasn't late enough for Willow to get up on a Saturday. Then she turned her head around and found the redhead sleeping next to her.

'What the hell? How did this happen?'

Slowly the memories of telling her friend about her feelings and about kissing her crept back into her consciousness. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't remember how Willow had ended up next to her. The only idea she had about that was that they had drunk too much, and somehow ended up in bed together.

'Oh my god, what have I done? I've gotta get out of here.'

Buffy began her movement out, only to be stopped by her friend who just didn't want to let go. She looked down and noticed that the hands that held her in bed were now clasped together, something they weren't before. 'Willow,this is not helping.' She reached down intending to remove the hands, but her touch had quite the opposite effect. The embrace was being tightened and she was forced back onto the bed, and very close to her friend. She couldeven feel the redhead's breath on her ear.

"Don't think I'll let you get away that easy", a voice mumbled behind her.

"Will? Will, are you awake?" Buffy asked, partly shocked about this revelation, partly extremely excited about the closeness to her friend.

"Mmm hmmm. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to sleep with you in the same room now."

"Wha? ...Will, I'm sorry, I didn't want to seduce" 'Did I actually?' "you. I know how you feel about such things; I should have kept my mouth shut yesterday. I just wished I knew if I have done anything, umm... well, I hope Ididn't do anything, well... naughty? last night."

"For what are you apologizing and what do you mean with naughty?" Willow asked a little confused. This was surely not the reaction she had awaited. Then her eyes widened with realization.

"Oh no Buffy, you didn't do anything naughty. You slept tightly the whole night. It was me who had the sleeping problems."

"Then... then how did you end up here? I mean next to me, hugging the air out of my lunges."

Willow laughed, 'Yeah, still same old Buffy.'

"I just thought it would be nice way to start the day. And I wanted to tellyou that I think you aren't that wrong with telling me the truth about howyou feel. It was something that let me realize something I hadn't seen before, something I probably didn't want to see."

Buffy followed this with her eyes growing wide. She couldn't believe this was happening. But the next sentence told her the truth.

"I love you too Buffy. Maybe it's just the way best friends respond to the way the feelings of the other are, maybe I've felt for you like this all the time, maybe I just realized that we belong together, I don't know. But what I know is that I'll give this a try, give us a try. And I'm doing this because I love you."

Willow punctuated the last sentence with a tip onto Buffy's nose. The gasp she got from her friend was enough to give the redhead a cheshire cat grin.Buffy thought it was absolutely charming, and for a second it seemed as ifa glimpse of passion was in the redhead's eyes. Now she had to kiss her, bring their lips together until she was breathless, and hold her forever.

"C-can I kiss you?"

Willow pretended to ponder over the question, and the answer she gave Buffy, made the Slayer think that she was still in a dream that just had turned into a nightmare.

"No", she said firmly.

Buffy let her head fall back onto the pillow and closed her eyes. 'This just isn't my day!' She could even feel Willow shift and was sure that she wasabout to leave the bed and that all she had said was nothing but a big, mean joke. 'Great! She's probably just making fun of me. I knew that she didn't like the idea of girl on girl action, but I would never have thought that she'd do this. At least not to me.'

Then she felt lips meet hers. Her eyes shot open and spotted her friend just above of her, the green of her eyes shining into her own blue ones. The feeling of the warmth lingered on Buffy's mouth even seconds after Willow had ended the kiss and had snuggled back onto her shoulder.

It took the oh so mighty Slayer quite a while to regain her composure and even longer to get any noise out of her mouth. And that from a simple kiss.

"Wow."

The word was the only thing she could say for the next five minutes, and she kept saying it again and again, until Willow had enough and silenced her with another kiss.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buffy looked down onto the form of her friend, and tenderly stroked a wisp of red hair back behind one of her ears, thinking about what had happened.

"Will?"

"Hmm?"

"What does this now mean for us? I mean 'us' us."

The redhead thought about the question. It meant that... 'That they were a pair? Lovers? What would Xander say? Or Giles? Or our parents? Well I know what mine would say. "Yes Willow, of course you can stay with Bunny." And they would simply ignore the fact that I would be in a relationship with her. Relationship... yeah, I think that's what it is. It feels like that, and I even already think it is one, so it must be one.'

"Will?" Buffy inquired. "Are you ok?"

"What? Oh.. yeah, I'm great. We're great. We're in a relationship now, thathas to be great, right? Because if it wasn't great, would it be a good relationship? And I want it to be a good one, because I love you, and I don't think I would like it to have a bad relationship. Or even no relationship at all. Because I love you and-"

Buffy had followed Willow's absolutely endearing babble, trying to understand every word she spoke. As she had heard enough to know what the redhead thought about 'them', she kissed her. Long and passionate, opening her mouthjust the tiniest bit, and flicking her tongue over Willow's lips. A moan instantly followed the touch, and every further thought, good or bad, ceasedfrom the hacker's mind. Everything that counted was spoken without words, just by touches, by looks, and the sharing of that kiss.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks. It had been two weeks since they had started their relationship,and they were already fighting. And that just because that jerk Riley wouldn't leave her alone, and had kissed her. Just because she couldn't speak didn't mean that he had to kiss her! And now Willow was mad at her. Of course, Buffy had told him off right after her voice was back. Despite his help with the Gentlemen. And after finding out that he of all people was one of those commandos always running around at night, and that he hadn't told her, she was really mad about him. She really had to control herself not to kick his ass across campus for what he had done.

And Willow was gone. She had looked all over campus to find her, in about every ladies room she could find, and she even checked into a few of the storage rooms, but nothing. As if her friend had been swallowed by a hole in the ground. After hours of looking for her, Buffy gave up and went back to her room. Once there, she dropped herself into her bed, took Mr. Gordo into her hands, pressed him against her chest and started crying.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I mean, what did she think she was doing? We just got together and she goes off kissing him! I mean, if she meant it that he would be just a substitute for me, then why did she go back to him?"

"M-maybe she d-didn't do it. Maybe that guy, Robert.. Ronald, Richard, Rol-"

"Riley."

"Riley, maybe he kissed her, and not she h-him. And maybe she has already put him into place."

"You think Tara? I mean, I-I could at least ask her, right?"

The blonde witch nodded.

"Thanks Tara. You really helped me. I just wished I could help you too withsomething, or give you something, is there anything you need?"

Her eyes glowed for a split second, and her will was done.

"No, thank you W-willow."

"You sure? I mean, I may not have it here, but I want to thank you somehow."

"W-well... there c-could be something I could need, but I don't think you would have it, not to speak of givi-"

"Spill."

"Huh?"

"Tell me, if I can help you, I'll do."

"O-ok." She hesitated, but then continued nonetheless. After all, Willow was the one who had offered her help. "I... Do you have a D-d-doll's Eye crystal?"

"Sure, I have one right here." She bent over and grabbed her bag, a little astonished about where exactly she had gotten a Doll's Eye from. But she took one out and handed it over to Tara, who was completely amazed by the present.

"Willow... I.. I can't take this, this is.... thank you", she concluded as she saw her friend nod.

"Anytime", the redhead responded with a smile.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking across campus, Willow noticed two things. First, almost everyone was glancing at her, and even if they thought she didn't know it, she did. And it disturbed her. Second, she got the very strong feeling that she had tostart to run, but not because of the other people around her, because of Buffy. She had the distinct feeling that her friend was feeling very bad. Soshe began to walk faster and faster, until she was hurrying over the grassand the paths of UC Sunnydale as fast as she could.

Reaching Stevenson Hall, she rushed through the doors and up to the second floor. Coming to a stop in front of her room, breathing heavily, she reached for the doorknob, but stopped dead in her movement as the sounds from theother side of the wood reached her ear.

'Buffy? Crying? Oh my god, what have I done?'

She grabbed the doorknob and pushed through the door. Once inside, she saw her roommate lying on her bed, her stuffed pig in her arms, and her eyes strained by the tears.

"Willow?" Buffy blinked the tears away. "Oh Willow", she breathed.

The next thing the redhead knew, was that she was pressed up against the door, Buffy kissing her all over her face, down her throat, and back again.

Between heated kisses she mumbled something that sounded like, "Willow.. I.. love.. you.. please.. you.. have.. to.. believe.. me", and she punctuatedthe last word with the most passionate kiss they had shared so far, leaving them both breathless in the end.

Cupping Buffy's face in her hands, she was now sure that Riley was the one who had done her wrong, and not Buffy. "Always."

Tracing the paths Buffy's tears had taken, she leaned forward and kissed each still on her face remaining drop away, slowly leading them over to one of the beds. She wasn't really sure which one, but that didn't have any meaning to her at the moment.

Buffy's legs hit something, her knees gave in, and she fell back onto the soft mattress, Willow never loosing the contact to her face. The redhead slowly worked her way down the side of the Slayer's face, and began to nibble a little on her ear.

An instant gasp from her lover made Willow smile, and she continued her journey down Buffy's throat, stopping briefly at her vein to suck on it, resulting in speeding up the blonde's heartbeat even more. Kissing and nipping the skin underneath her, she followed the collarbone, and when reaching the fabric of the sweater Buffy had on, she pulled it over her head, exposing more of the lightly tanned skin of her lover.

Willow reached the bra of the Slayer, and after a questioning look into thepassion filled blue eyes of Buffy, responded by an ear to ear smile and a clear nod, she reached behind the blonde and unclasped the last barrier between her mouth and the breasts under her.

A loud moan rumbled through the room as she first flicked her tongue over one of the nipples, followed by another one as she sucked it into her mouth.Somewhere during her caress, Buffy took back some of the control and beganto take off their clothes one by one. As she was finished, they laid together, skin on skin, and for that one moment, everything was perfect.

But soon enough, Buffy felt the need for more, both in herself as well as in her lover. With one fast movement, she flipped them over and began to kiss her way down to Willow's abdomen. Her hands trailed down the redhead's sides, her mouth found one of her breasts, and began to lick the aureole of Willow's nipple. She didn't stay for long though, as she quickly discovered the sound the hacker made when her navel was being studied. She spent minutes kissing and nibbling the area before she eventually moved on, only to find out that the Wicca had already been awaiting her with eager anticipation.

At the first contact of her tongue with Willow's clitoris, the redhead grasped two hands full of blonde hair, and with every further touch of Buffy, she tugged a little on the strands and then rubbed over the skin, beginning sort of a massage of her scalp. Buffy was thoroughly enjoying the taste of the fluids that streamed into her mouth. She lapped at them and tried her best to not let one drop get wasted.

As she felt Willow tense below her, she knew that she was about to reach her destiny. Buffy inserted first one, then two fingers into her girlfriend, her lover, her Willow. Seconds passed, before the initial shock of the orgasm was over and the hacker released everything she had been holding back until then. Her mind was blank except for one word.

"BUUUFFFFYYYYYY!!!!!!"

The scream echoed from the walls that encircled them and it was enough to release the tension in the Slayer. Enough to bring her over the edge, to join her lover. Her body shook in the convulsions of her own orgasm, and with last strength, she pulled herself up to lie beside Willow. Her Willow. Theyshared a last kiss before they both fell asleep, cuddled into each other, holding each other in a tight embrace.

'All in all, the day hadn't ended that bad', Buffy thought with a smile before her mind wandered and began to relive the past few minutes of her life.


Most definately TBC...
