***NC-17 for sexuality***

***Major Angst Warning***

***You've been warned.***


"How was slaying?" Willow asked, as she looked up from her book, sitting up
against the headboard of the bed.

"Uneventful," Buffy replied, her hair still wet from the shower, as she
wondered if it was a good idea to come into the room with only a bathrobe
on.

"Beats eventful." Willow grinned.

"Not if I got issues to work out."

"True, beating on vamps is a good outlet for anger. Not that I know,
because, not a Slayer."

"I've seen you do it a few times," Buffy corrected, slowly slipping into bed
beside the redhead.

"What? You mean, almost breaking my wrist trying to stake them?"

"No, I mean, bravely facing something that's got way more strength than you
and staking them through the heart, rather than run."

"I only did it because you were there. Otherwise, it would've been skid
addle Willow."

Buffy laughed at the quirky comment.

"So, what'cha reading?" Buffy asked, eyeing the book in Willow's hands.

"A fantasy novel."

"What kinda fantasies?" Buffy asked teasingly.

"Not those kinds, Buffy."

"I know, so what's it about?"

"Oh, the usual. Female heroine, dragons, monsters, and a guy she happens to
bump into and fall in love with."

"A guy?"

"Yeah, unfortunately. I keep hoping she falls in love with her best friend,
you know, for the girl-on-girl action, but nope, all they do is talk, and
hug, and maybe a kiss on the cheek."

"Must be disappointing."

"Darn tootin'."

"So, this best friend. What's she like?"

"Oh, she's the smart one. Not that the heroine isn't, but she's more the
warrior, and the best friend, is the one that reads the map on their
adventure, and does all the cool strategy stuff."

"So, she's knowledge girl."

"Uh huh."

"What about the warrior?"

"Well, she's always beating up the monsters, after her best friend tells her
how, of course."

"Does the best friend do research too?"

"As much as she can. It's not like they carry around a bunch of books on
their adventure."

"So not like research gal?"

"More like talk to the village people gal."

"I see. Does she have red hair?"

"How'd you know?"

"Cuz she reminds me of you."

Willow blushed. "Me?"

"Yup, I think you just described your clone in the book."

"I dunno. I think you're more like the warrior, than I'm like the best
friend."

"Do they always talk so much?"

"Huh? What?"

"Like us? Is that why?" Buffy trailed off, averting her eyes.

"They don't?"

"Yeah." Buffy nodded.

A silence fell between the two girls, before Buffy managed to speak again.

"Sorry, Will, I didn't mean to make it seem like I was pressuring you, or
anything."

"You mean, you want to?"

"If you do. Do you?"

"I think. I mean, it's hard, because?"

"Of Tara."

Willow nodded her head.

"I understand, Will." Buffy smiled warmly, placing a hand on Willow's
shoulder.

"But don't you want to?" Willow asked.

"I think. I'm not sure. I mean, I've never done, you know, with a girl
before."

"It's not that scary, Buffy."

"Easy for you to say. You've done it like a million times."

"Why does everyone think I've done it so many times?"

"You mean, you haven't?"

"Yeah, but not that many. I mean, a girl can only fit so much sex into a
day, you know?"

"I didn't mean literally, it's just a lot more, than me. So I guess it
works out. I'm scared, and you don't want to."

"Buffy?" Willow began, taking both of Buffy's hands in her own, "It's not
that I don't want to, it's because I'm scared."

"So we're both scared."

"Yup."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Everything."

"Everything?"

"That if we? make? love," Willow stuttered, "everything will change."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"It is if you leave me."

"Why would I leave you?"

"Because, that's what people I love do. They leave me," Willow said sadly,
holding back a tear.

"You know I wouldn't, Will."

"How do I know? Tara promised, Oz promised, they all promised," Willow
cried.

Buffy instantly threw her arms around the hacker.

"Because I promise," Buffy assured.

"What if that's not enough?" Willow sobbed into the Slayer's shoulder.

"It will be." Buffy soothingly rubbed her hand up and down Willow's back.
"I'll be here for you, always."

"But? what?"

"Shhh," Buffy shushed, running her hand through Willow's hair. "I promise."

"Promise, promise?"

"Promise, Will."

Buffy cupped the Wicca's cheek in her hand and stared into teary eyes,
before bringing their lips together in a soft, tender kiss.

"What happened to Auntie Glory?" Anna demanded outside the temple.

"She went home," Tara explained.

"Home?" The young girl questioned, suspiciously.

"Yes, she went back home to be with her brothers and sisters." Dawn smiled.

"What about her shoe?" Anna asked.

"Um, she has that with her," Tara replied, making a mental note to get rid
of the shoe.

"Really?"

"Yup." Tara grinned. "Now, how did you get here all by yourself, Anna?"

"She didn't," Leanna shouted breathlessly, as she caught up to her daughter.

"What happened?" Dawn asked.

"Anna insisted on following Glory. When we got here, she ran for the
temple, before I could tie up the horse."

"I'm sorry about the note," Tara apologized. "We couldn't risk Glory
finding out."

"I should be the one apologizing," Leanna said sombrely. Glory found out
because of me."

"No, Glory had Anna spy on us. You were not to blame, Leanna," Tara
assured.

"I still feel responsible."

"Don't be," Tara replied. "Just promise me to make sure Anna doesn't
idolize any more crazy former hell gods in the future?"

"I promise."

"Oh, and crazy humans, too," Dawn added.

"I promise. I'll be extra careful about who she idolizes." Leanna smiled.
"So, is Glory, really?"

"Gone? Yup," Tara confirmed. "Back home, that is," Tara added, not wanting
to upset Anna.

Dawn ran over to give Leanna a hug. "Thank you, for everything."

"It was my pleasure, Dawn."

Tara walked over and gave Leanna a hug as well, "Thank you, Leanna, for
taking us in, even though we were perfect strangers."

"I should thank you. You showed me?" Leanna swallowed back a tear,
"Everything."

"Not everything." Tara smiled.

"No, you're wrong. You showed me love again."

"Love?"

"Yes. I know I shouldn't have, because, you already have your heart, but I
couldn't help falling for you."

Tara was speechless, while Dawn uncomfortably averted her eyes.

"It's okay, Tara." Leanna smiled, sensing the uncomfortable atmosphere her
revelation had created. "I know you're not for me. Even though I've wished
it on more nights than I can imagine. I know that your heart belongs to one
woman only."

"It does," Tara confirmed.

"Then go. Don't let me keep you away from her any longer. Be with your
love. Be with Willow," Leanna cried.

"Mmm, Buffy?" Willow moaned into their kiss.

"Are you okay? Should I stop?" Buffy questioned, pulling away from the kiss.

"Is that what you thought I meant?"

"Well, I'm not sure. I've never really, with a girl."

"You've kissed me, silly."

"I mean, what happens next."

"What makes you so sure you're getting past first base?" Willow teased.

Buffy blushed, averting her eyes.

"Well, I think the first base coach is waving me past first for the double,"
Buffy smiled.

"Is that so?"

"If it's okay with you."

"So I'm the first base coach?"

"And the third?" Buffy trailed off, not believing she has just said it.

"Easy, Ms. Summers, or else I might think that you're interested in more
than just talking."

Buffy, looked up at Willow's glowing face and leaned in for another kiss.

Soft and slow, their tongues danced in each others mouths.

"Mmm, Will?"

"Are you okay, should I stop?" Willow teased.

"Is that what you thought I meant?" Buffy teased back.

"See how silly you are?"

"Sorry, I can't help it. It's just that the butterflies in my stomach are
of the monarch variety."

"Ooh, I'm impressed at your scientific knowledge."

"I saw it on Discovery."

"Cheater," Willow smirked, before leaning in for another kiss.

"That's what I do. Buffy Summers. Taker of short cuts," Buffy grinned,
dropping her hand to around Willow's waist, as she leaned into Willow's
body, pressing her into the bed.

"I hope you don't take too many shortcuts."

"That's why you're here, to tutor me, so I don't make that mistake."

Willow kissed the blonde in response.

"Mmm?" They moaned in unison.

Willow eyed Buffy with a smirk, "Care to take second?"

"I was thinking about it all day," Buffy smiled, but not making a move.

"Does the hitter need a pinch runner?"

"Possibly."

Willow grinned, before taking Buffy's hand and bringing it to her petite
breast.

"See not so scary," Willow assured lovingly.

"Yup. Feels nice."

"I'd hope so."

"Can I?"

"You don't need to ask."

"M'okay?" Buffy exhaled, as she began exploring Willow's breast through the
thin cloth material of Willow's top.

Buffy concentrated hard, as she slowly ran her hand over Willow's left
breast.

Willow watched in amusement as Buffy began her virgin voyage of the female
body.

"You know, Columbus didn't just focus on one island," Willow teased.

"Oh, sorry. It just feels so soft? and?"

"Mmm hmm."

Buffy transferred her hand to Willow's right breast and began exploring that
one as well.

"Better."

Willow patiently watched as Buffy thoroughly explored both breasts through
the thin fabric of her top, before kissing her softly on the lips, and then
removing her top over her head.

Buffy watched in amazement as Willow's breasts were revealed.

"They're beautiful," Buffy gasped.

"You have a pretty nice pair yourself."

"Oh, do you wanna see?" Buffy asked, in a trance, as she stared at Willow's
petite breasts.

"Would be nice," Willow replied.

Buffy responded by undoing her bathrobe, and letting it fall to the side of
the bed and onto the floor.

Willow gasped, as she took in the sight of Buffy's nude body.

Buffy didn't even seem to register that she was totally naked. She only
wanted to touch the bare flesh of Willow's breasts, as she reached out and
did just that.

Willow closed her eyes and moaned into the gentle touch, before reaching out
and exploring Buffy's breasts for herself.

Buffy's breasts were slightly larger than her own, but not by much. They
were petite as well, but that didn't affect how beautiful they were.

The Slayer and the Witch spent what seemed like an aching eternity exploring
each others exposed breasts, kissing every so often, and whispering words of
love.

"So this is what second base feels like?" Buffy exhaled.

"Feels good, huh?"

"Better than good. It feels great."

******

"Third, make sure you remember where you want to end up," Tara explained.

"No problem there," Dawn replied. "I'm sure you don't have a problem in
that category either," Dawn teased, giving Tara a wink.

"Whatever do you mean?" Tara asked, in mock innocence.

"So you weren't thinking, top or bottom?"

"Dawn!"

"What? It's not like I don't know what goes on."

"I will be with Willow, if that's what you want to know."

"And I'll be with Buffy," Dawn replied. "I hope they aren't in any place
that's embarrassing."

"Me too," Tara agreed. "So are you ready?"

"I've been ready since I got here," Dawn answered, taking Tara's hand, as
they began the chants to the spell that would take them home.

******

"Oh, Willow?" Buffy moaned, as she grabbed the sheets beneath her.

"Shh, relax?" Willow said soothingly.

"How can I relax, when you're doing that, down there?" Buffy gasped, as she
held onto the sheets for dear life.

"I guess you can't, but you can try."

"I don't think I want to, Will."

"Do you want me to continue?"

"If I say, duh, will you smack me and stop?"

"No," Willow smiled, before going back to exploring the sensitive folds
between Buffy's legs, with her fingers, softly entering the Slayer with one,
then two fingers.

"Ohhhhh?" Buffy moaned again, as she closed her eyes, delighting in the feel
of Willow's fingers inside her.

Before, Buffy knew it, she was basking in the mind-blowing sensation of
Willow's tongue on her nether lips, lapping away at the sensitive bundle of
nerves that had been awaiting release for so long.

"Oh, God Willow!" Buffy screamed, as she reached her climax and arched her
back up off the bed.

Willow continued to lick gently at Buffy's clit, as her inner walls
contracted around Willow's fingers.

When Buffy finally had her release, she collapsed back onto the bed,
completely spent.

Willow smiled lovingly, as she kissed her way back up Buffy's Body.

"Thank you," Buffy breathed, as Willow drew her arms around Buffy's body,
drawing the blanket over both of them.

"You're welcome," Willow grinned.

"What about you?" Buffy asked.

"Don't worry about me, Buffy. Sleep," Willow kissed the Slayer on the
forehead.

"But what if I wake up and it's just a dream?"

"Then it's the best dream you've ever had," Willow teased.

"That's not funny. I don't wanna go to sleep now," Buffy pouted.

"It's okay, Buffy. Sleep. It's not a dream."

"But how do I know? It feels like one," Buffy replied, before she yelped in
pain, as Willow pinched the Slayer's arm.

"What was that for?"

"To show you it wasn't a dream."

"M'okay, I guess you're right," Buffy reluctantly gave in, as she closed her
eyes.

******

Willow awoke, and looked to her side only to find Buffy gone.

At first, Willow thought she had dreamt all last night, but her state of
undress proved otherwise. She figured, Buffy had gone to make breakfast, so
she slipped out of bed and began looking for her clothes, only they were
gone.

"So, Buffy decided to take them away, huh?" Willow frowned.

The redhead decided that new clothes were in order anyway, and went to the
dresser to find some underwear, a nice top and a skirt.

Willow found a nice blue skirt, a fiery red tank top and slipped into them.

The Witch looked at herself in the mirror and could almost see herself
glowing.

After all the pain of the past few months, she was finally happy again.

"Happy," Willow said softly, as she smiled for the mirror.

******

Buffy perused the garden in her backyard and was surprised to see that the
neglected garden was actually doing quite well.

The Slayer had slipped out of bed early, to find the perfect flower to give
Willow.

There was a flower bed that seemed to be full of life, and the Slayer was
determined to find the prettiest flower out of them all.

The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and the flowers were
blossoming.

Buffy couldn't have wished for a more perfect morning, after such a perfect
night last night, and she wanted to show just how grateful she was for it.

She even had Anya to thank, of all people. Although, she figured it would
be a better gift to give Anya a cheque, rather than a flower. That is, if
Buffy actually had money in her bank account to write a cheque with.

As depressing as the dwindling money in Buffy's bank account was, it did
nothing to dampen her spirits. Everything else was perfect.

Buffy came across a beautiful red flower, which she immediately plucked from
the flower bed, and inhaled it's fragrant scent.

"Perfect," Buffy whispered to herself.

"Buffy?" A familiar voice asked from behind the Slayer.

Buffy couldn't believe her ears as she slowly turned around to see her
sister.

"Dawn?" Buffy cried, as she saw the brunette standing there before her, in
slightly tattered clothes.

"The one and only," Dawn smiled, her eyes welling with tears as she ran to
her sister and threw her arms around the petite blonde.

******

Willow breathed in a breath of fresh air as she looked out the window at the
sunny sky, and listened to the chirping birds.

She leaned against the dresser next to the window as she stared outside for
several minutes.

All of sudden, she noticed something blue glowing at the corner of her eye.
She looked to the side to see the dolls-eye crystal glowing a bright blue.

Nervously, Willow picked up the crystal and turned around.

"Baby?" Willow cried.
