All my life there was only one person that tried to be my friend - went out of her way when I had no right or reason to expect her to - and I screwed her.

“You think I don’t notice what you’re wearin’? You haven’t been payin’ attention,” Faith retorted, bouncing back into a defensive position after missing the first kick. No amount of perfume could make the jacket not smell like the Slayer- not in a sweaty, salty, sparring way. But Faith’s own earthy scent, the crisp and sour graveyard essence. Maybe a little bit of club smoke. If Buffy wanted to flower that up, she’d have to choke on it.

“I mean, sure. Everyone loves the jacket, gotta keep your options open,” she said, trying to throw off the punches one at a time. Deflect, deflect, deflect. “But I’ll be wearin’ it, so don’t get your hopes up too much.”

Buffy’s knee struck Faith’s sternum pretty solidly, her chest doing little to soften the blow. She grunted, grabbing back onto the leg to try to maintain her balance. Winded for a moment, the brunette shook her shoulders and tried to shove back at Buffy- a move that would piss the Watchers off (who shoves a vampire?) but they weren’t here. “Now you’re just bein’ cruel, B. I don’t talk about wearin’ your sweaters in the cemetery mud.”

Too late. Hopes were up. Faith nearly had her too, when she’d grabbed back on her leg, but then came the shove. “Alright, I promise not to wear it slaying...” Buffy caught Faith’s shoulder as she tried to shove her and planted a foot in front of Faith’s, using her thigh to push her off balance and flip her onto her back using her own weight. With a little hop, Buffy landed over her on all fours, excluding the hand that held a make-believe stake to Faith’s chest. 

“...but I will be wearing it.” 

She grinned down at Faith, shoulders rising and falling as she caught her breath before she held out a hand for her to take. “What d’ya think? Is this a movie night at Sun Cinema jacket, or an all-you-can-eat at the pizzeria jacket? The Bronze after is already a given. I think a little dancing will be the perfect show-off at the final hour.”

until dawn … sentence starters.

@stakedthat​ asked: “Maybe we should start with a little, you know, making out, and see where it goes from there?“

                          Brow is arched at question as lips purse. It was a valid question, but it was a question that had been asked many times now. They’d been hanging out a lot over the last month or so and though she had promised Buffy that they could take things slow, test the waters. But it wasn’t her that needed to test anything, she knew where she stood when it came to the same sex, it was Buffy that needed the time. And that was fine, but hormones were on parade and the brunette was getting antsy.

Looking over at her as she sat beside her on the couch ( Joyce in LA for a showing with the art gallery thankfully ) she nodded with a smile. “Yea…we can do that,” Faith replied as she shifted to face the other slayer more. She wasn’t getting her hopes up for tonight to be tonight, already preparing herself to have to take care of it when she got back to the motel.

The truth was, Buffy would’ve been with Faith much earlier on. She would have, if her entire sexual experience hadn’t amount to one time and that one time had nearly wrought chaos unto the world. Then there was Faith, who definitely had experience and definitely knew the difference between when someone was doing something right or something wrong. And sure, Faith had interest in her now, but what if Buffy fumbled? What if she was boring? What if it was totally, completely lackluster for her while Buffy had the time of her life? What if—

Well, it didn’t take long into the kissing for Buffy to find her way into Faith’s lap, knees on either side of her and hands searching Faith’s tousled hair, neck and face like she was trying to absorb her. She knew what she wanted— if the way she tilted her hips into Faith’s was of any indication—but those What ifs? They really had major ambitions to be a total bummer for everyone involved.

In an act of defiance against her own thoughts, Buffy unslung her arm from around Faith’s neck, finding Faith’s hand, then directed her hand to just under the hem of her top. Her skin prickled under contact. Yowza. “Is this okay?” She said it so suddenly she surprised even herself that she had stopped with the kissing. With her free hand, she cupped Faith’s cheek and swiped her thumb over the corner of her mouth, wiping away the smeared lipstick. “I-I mean I’m not— you’ll tell me if it’s... if I’m not... okay?” A beat, then Buffy breathed out a nervous laugh and dropped her gaze. “I’m sorry. I’m turning into a total spaz. In all my worry about driving you away, behold my transformation into freakazoid. You know, in some cultures it’s considered cute and endearing. Boston doesn’t happen to be one of those cultures, does it?”

murderousbitch​:

                 Being stabbed once was enough for her. At least with the first time she didn’t really remember much of the pain that came with it. This time, however, she was feeling every second of it; from the moment the blade penetrated flesh to the moment of Agmos withdrew the blade. And despite her best efforts, she couldn’t contain herself as he pulled the knife out of her. A small whimper of pain left trembling lips while eyes screwed shut to fight back any other sounds that threatened to leave her. She couldn’t show weakness, especially around the warlock.

It didn’t matter, not really, Agmos could see the pain seared onto her face and the way her muscles twitched under her skin. There were no words to describe the joy he was feeling at being able to inflict pain on one of the heirs of the slayer line. After so many years of imprisonment, it’s one of the things that kept him going, knowing that he would one day get his chance at revenge. “I can see why you’re not the leader,” he mused, wiping her blood from the blade before dragging the tip of it along the side of her face. “You have no strength. You never have and truthfully, it’s pathetic to think that you were chosen,” he paused with a sigh, head shaking slowly, “those that came before you would be disappointed.”

Physical pain was one thing, but this kind of torment made her skin crawl. It showed, of course, as she listened to him, her jaw clenched, teeth bared. Part of her, the part that would forever exist no matter how much self work she accomplished, agreed with him and knew he was right. She should have never been called, wasn’t worthy to be called the slayer, and that’s why she wasn’t. That’s why Buffy was. And though she was trying to will herself to focus all of her energy on fighting him, keeping it together, she half shoved those thoughts away. But not completely.

“You like hearin’ yourself talk huh?” she asked, voice low as her fingers flexed and curled more. “Gonna have to do more than the mean girl tactics,” she laughed, shaking her head back to get the hair out of her face. However when her sight was clear, she didn’t like the look on Agmos’ face as he stared at her with yet another grin.

He said nothing this time as he sliced her cheek, a hiss leaving the slayer as she turned away from the blade. If he was being completely honest with himself, he wanted to end this now, to gut her and leave her for the other to find. But he showed restraint as he tossed the blade away, tired of it for now. Taking a step back, Agmos looked the slayer over slowly as he thought over what next to do with her. He too was wondering how long it would take for Buffy Summers to swoop in and either be the hero and save her partner or find her corpse. Of course he was hoping for the latter, wanting to make sure he left her the most wonderful of gifts.

After a moment of thought, he soon summoned a bright burning iron rod that sizzled when a single drop of water from the ceiling fell on it. The sound pulled the exact reaction he wanted from the slayer, the look in her eyes and the way her jaw threatened to snap from the amount of tension that held it clenched. “I don’t really care to hear myself talk,” he spoke softly, eyeing the glowing end of the iron, “but I love the sounds of screams.” And with that he jabbed the searing piece of iron into the knife wound.

The sound that came from Faith, she didn’t know she could make a sound like it. She would have rather been stabbed again and again than this. The small of burning flesh, her flesh, made her stomach churn but she was sure that coupled with the smell and the blinding pain was the result of the queasiness she felt. Her chest heaved as she fought to breathe, thrashing in her restraints which only caused the rod to dig deeper into the wound. Chin trembled as tears streamed down her cheeks, toes curled and fingers stretched out, searching and hoping for a hand to appear and save her.

“It’s a trap,” Willow warned.

“Most likely.” 

“Still want me to open this portal?” 

“Do it, Wil.” 

“What’s the plan once you’re in?”

Buffy fixed her gaze on the area ahead where the portal would appear, brow low. The phantom of a slice on her cheek, similar to the stab in her gut she’d felt earlier, made her impatient. If it was a trap— which it totally was— then Faith would at least be alive by the time she stepped through the portal. But after? She’d have to act quickly. She rolled her shoulder and flexed her fingers before tightening them into fists. “Dunno. We’re the Slayers. Just have the return portal ready in ten, on the dot.”

“I can’t pinpoint their location, Buff.” 

“I can feel her,” Buffy responded almost gently compared to how out-of-her-skin she felt in the moment. “Tap into whatever connection we have. The original bloodline, anything. Use me.”

“...That’ll do it. How’d you— anyway, it’s ready. Opening in 5... 4...”

As Willow counted down, Buffy felt a ghost of a burning sensation, like hot metal. Her last conversation with Faith flashed in her head, every word and repressed emotion hidden under the guise of louder, more obvious ones. Buffy had spoken to her like a general. Maybe that was easier than how she really felt towards her. But now it was all on line, and Faith might never have the chance to know the truth if she made even one mistake in front of Agmos. She deserved to know just how scared Buffy felt in this very moment. 

“...1.” 

Launching off the ball of her foot, she charged into the portal without a second thought. Or a cautionary one. She leapt in with a flying kick, which landed with a blow to the elusive Agmos’ shoulder. He tumbled back and by the time he recovered, Buffy was already rushing to Faith’s position. Oh, god, this was entirely her fault. Faith had been completely powerless against the torture. As she established a grip on the chains above Faith’s head, she watched the blood drip from her wounds, exactly where Buffy had felt them... all except for the wound that’d been cauterized. 

“I’ve got you, Faith, I’m here....” With the strength of all the slayers inside her, she ripped the chains straight from the wall and caught Faith in her arms. Only able to ignore Agmos for a precious few more seconds, she tried to set Faith down gently and get a better look at her, hand on her cheek and pushing the hair from her face, sticky with sweat. “I’m sorry I took so long. You’re going to be okay now, I promise. Can you stand?”

I have been noticing a lot of people being too nervous to talk to their mutuals when they want to roleplay with them soooo..

Please reblog this to tell your mutuals IT IS 100% OKAY to come up to you and tell you straight off the bat that they want to roleplay with you. In fact, it’s highly encouraged to tell you any thread idea that comes across their mind!

Faith’s grin went full teeth as Buffy got that holier-than-thou look about her. The brunette pretended to nonchalantly examine her nails, which was not as graceful as she’d have liked thanks to the wraps on her hands. This was gonna be a good scrap, though. That much was sure.

“Nervous? Me? Hell no!” Her voice cracked with a laugh. Faith was trying to play it cool about jumping in to whoop B’s ass, but when the blonde got bouncing into position, she was even more sure this would be a hoot and a half. “I just wanna know what you’re imagining in your mind when you’re trying so hard to beat me.”

She quickly mirrored Buffy’s stance and tried not to wince. That jacket was Faith’s most valuable possession and… perfume? Eugh.

“What, you got a date or something? You don’t strike me as a girl who knows how to take care of leather,” she said with a hint of a smirk before launching a roundhouse kick at Buffy’s side.

“A fashionable leather-centric outfit is Slayer Uniform 101. That, or a tasteful halter.” Buffy skipped backwards to just miss the kick thrown at her. “Of course I can take care of leather. You really haven’t been paying attention to what I wear.” Which, disappointing. “But those are those jackets. I want that one. The jacket that will be mine tonight.” 

She was methodical in the way she approached Faith and squared up, contrasting starkly with her counterpart’s more brutish stance. “No date. Not yet, anyway. Who knows what spontaneous romantic fortune a new jacket will bring me? The night is young and... something something.” 

Buffy threw a couple of punches aimed at Faith’s defenses, then followed up with a rising knee to the torso. “Who knows? Maybe I’ll take your jacket and go fight some acid demon. Or one of those quick ones with the super sharp claws. The possibilities are endless!”

[stakedthat]

❛ you look so cute when you’re ignoring me . ❜

It was her weakness, and she knew that Faith knew exactly how it affected her. She turned her face away from the other Slayer and focused on her textbook (well, appeared to) so the pink in her cheeks wouldn’t give Faith the satisfaction. Buffy had to get her school work done. She couldn't allow herself to get distracted by Faith’s... everything. Not again. The sooner she got through her homework, the sooner she could ensure that they had zero distractions keeping them apart. Forces of darkness willing.

With a little ‘hmph’ she raised her eyebrows and tapped the eraser end of her pencil against her bottom lip. “Then Rosalind Franklin and I are about to be darn adorable.” 

[stakedthat]

wickedlehane​:

@stakedthat​ said “I’ll consider kissing you if you can beat me.”

Yeah, that got Faith’s attention.

She had been wrapping her fists in anticipation of a sparring session- she preferred working the punching bag while Buffy did her more graceful moves, no doubt a part of her past as a cheerleader. But Faith had endurance and brute strength. What she lacked in refinement she made up for in not overthinking things.

“And what do you want if you win, huh? What’s in it for you? Not that it matters because I will be beating you.”

Well, she never said it wasn’t what she wanted, too. But maybe the real reward was getting to see Faith fighting to give her attention and kisses. In a way, she’d already won by seeing the competitive, hopeful glint in Faith’s eyes light up. Plus a for-real, difficult training session, which she pretty much lacks when going hand-to-hand with a very human librarian all the time? Wins, all around.

Buffy finished wrapping her own hands and put them on her hips, shifting her weight as she faced Faith with a show of arrogance in the spirit of competition. “’Not that it matters’, huh? Then why are you asking? Nervous much?” To match the verbal spar, she rose her fists and readied her stance, bouncing on her toes like an invitation for Faith to show her just how much she wanted to win. “Your jacket. I want to wear it tonight. And I will be using my most flowery of perfumes.”
