<--------> 

Heartbrokenly numb, the crying blonde 
clung to the red head with her face buried 
in Willow's cold neck. Everything except 
Willow was non-existent. The gentle nature 
Willow smell mixed with green apples. The soft fine 
skin that was rapidly becoming ridged and 
clammy. The satin dark red hair brushing 
against her face as she rocked their bodies 
together. 

" We need to call someone to get her body. " 
Dawn whispered from where she sat in front of 
her sister. 

Buffy shook her head, pulling Willow's body 
closer to her. " It's alright. She's just 
sleeping. " The slayer tenderly kissed each 
eye lid. " ...and when she wakes up we'll have 
dinner and then we can watch a movie. " 

" Buffy she's not sleeping. " 

The slayer ignored her sister as her tears 
fell on Willow's lips. " I love you so much 
Will. It's like I never really knew what love 
was until I was in your arms. It's not the 
angsty over bearing love. It's like a steady 
burning flame that gets brighter with every 
passing moment, and it will always be there, 
forever, and...." 

The violent sobs shook her body, forcing her 
into a loss of blinding fog. Needing to find 
Willow again, she crushed her lips into the 
red heads. Her tears coating their lips and 
tongues, burning into both mouths in a flash of 
blinding red light. 

The cold stiff lips of her lover became warm as 
they responded to the slayer's need. Buffy's 
tears fell faster, covering their faces. The slayer, 
over come with the instinct to assure herself that 
Willow was really alive, began ripping the moaning 
red heads cloth's from her body. Willow apparently 
having the same idea, was tugging off the slayers own 
cloths. 

" Oh, ew, yuck. Hey teenager in the room. Oh man, bad 
visual... way bad visual." Dawn squeaked, scrambling out 
of the room. 

" Did....you...hear....soemth...mmmmmm..." Buffy dived 
back into Willow's mouth as they're bare skin finally touched. 

" No. " Willow muttered harshly, flipping the 
slayer over so that she was on top. 

A dim globe of red surrounded them, lifting them into the 
air, caressing and soothing them, winding in and around 
them in a whirl of flaming lust, sending their needs into the 
throws of heat. 

Inquisitive fingers lightly skidded over plump breasts, tweaking 
erect nipples, rolling them until they became a painfully 
sensitive bomb waiting to go off. Pinching each small dark 
pebbles drawing out a series of whimpering moans that left 
the slayer writhing desperately against Willow. 

The hollowed dimples on the slim muscular back twitched as 
Willow moved her assault down over the taunt skin that 
delighted and threatened her senses. Palms rubbed at the 
tightness and stress of the slayer's body. Each strand of 
tension, each worry line, each piece of evidence of 
what the slayer went through was her fault, and that was 
only one of many thoughts that ran rampage through her 
mind. 

Smooth salty skin meet her tongue in an explosion of 
sensation through both bodies. Gasping in surprise her, 
Willow bit down on the slayer's breast, arching as what 
Buffy felt coursed through her own body. Moving to the 
blonde's other breast, she sucked the nipple between 
her teeth and nibbled at it. 

Her mind reached out in search of Buffy's, wrapping 
through it in a flood of emotions. 

' Willow. ' 

' Buffy. ' Her mind sighed happily and sank completely 
into Buffy. 

<---------> 


Buffy combed her hand through the shock of dark red hair. 
It was so soft and thick that it soothed her hand's nerves. 
She'd always loved the way Willow's hair smelled and felt. 
The satin like hair had been a guilty obsession since they'd 
first met. Braided, short, long, in a pony tail, pig tails, 
it didn't matter. 

She tightened her left arm around Willow's waist. Trying not 
to loose the feel of the red heads body burrowed on top of hers. 
Their breasts pressed together, legs intertwined, arms wrapped 
around each other. It was everything the slayer had ever 
dreamed of and wanted. 

She rubbed her nose in the wavy thick hair, inhaling the 
mixture of green apples and vanilla. Her favorite scents 
in the whole world. 

Her left hand slide up over the taunt curved back and over 
her neck. Reluctantly, she pried open her eyes to gaze at 
the emotionally and physically exhausted red head. She 
just couldn't get enough of seeing Willow's gorgeous body. 

The way her buttocks curved perfectly into the dimple in her 
lower back. The way one of her ribs stuck out slightly and 
caused the red head to whimper deep in her throat. How her 
neck always produced a series of moans. The glint of light 
against the slim silver wedding band on her left hand... 
Wedding band? 

She jerked her hand up with a strangled yelp. On her left ring 
finger was a slender dark silver wedding band, covered in what 
looked like runes. She could barely feel the ring that seemed 
to fit her finger perfectly. 

Letting go of Willow's hair, she yanked at the ring, determined 
to get it off. Unfortunately, it seemed the ring had other ideas 
because it wasn't moving. At all. 

" Mbftosert. " 

Willow stretched against her, then began to nuzzle at the 
sensitive skin of Buffy's neck. 

" Um...Will, I don't mean to break the moment but I have a 
problem. " 

" Hmm? You want me to kiss it and make it better? " 

Buffy swallowed hard at the predatory grin that perked up 
at her. In fact, the way the red head was suddenly gazing 
down at her reminded her of Sylvester always looked at 
Tweety. 

Attempting to keep some control over her already raging 
hormones, she held her left hand in front of Willow's face. 
But instead of being upset, concerned, or suspicious the red 
heads face brightened, as Willow held up her own hand revealing 
an identical wedding ring. 

" I didn't get a chance to warn you cause of the whole dying 
thing. " Willow said. 

" No, death bad. " 

" Well look at it this way, one more time and we'll be even." 

Buffy glared at the red head wanting to lay down the law on 
death, but she decided to wait until later. " What warning? " 

" Oh, right the warning. " Willow tore her gaze from Buffy's. 
" You know how I was telling you there's a curse on me? " 

" Yeah. " 

" Well it's one of these several step curses. Anya said that I 
have to break it in steps, and the first step was that I had 
to be totally honest with my soul mate, and then we had to 
declare our love for each other and mean it. The idea being 
that the soul mate had to forgive me for anything I've done. " 

" So I'm your soul mate? " Buffy asked quietly. 

Willow nodded and dropped her head onto the slayers shoulder. 

" What was the other parts? " 

" When I died the next part was started. See for me to live 
you had to vow your eternal love to the gods, your tears 
were sort of like a lie detector test. " 

" And? " 

Willow snuggled deeper into Buffy's arms. " When you passed 
you basically married us. " 

" M..m..married? " Buffy squeaked as darkness enveloped her.

"......."
