Summary: An apology.
Roadside
Buffy’s sunglasses slipped down to shield her eyes from the setting sun as she stepped from the diner. In late August, the sun was too bright and the heat just this side of suffocating. She managed well enough in a pair of shorts, sandals and white tank top. She moved forward, glancing down at the cell phone in her palm to check the time.
She figured she could make Sacramento by nine if she hustled. It would give her enough time to get settled at the hotel Willow booked her for and do a quick patrol to help burn off the pent up energy sitting in a car for hours on end caused.
It was the rough clearing of a throat that brought her head up and drew her attention to the person leaning against the motorcycle next to her mom’s old Jeep Cherokee. “What are you doing here?” the question left her before she could help herself.
Faith had the decency to duck her head at the tone. The bashfulness didn’t last long and the other slayer raised her head to give Buffy a once over. “Red said I could find you here,” the brunette offered by way of explanation.
An eyebrow rose behind the large oval frames and Buffy approached the other woman. “Will needs to keep her nose out of this,” Buffy snapped, again having trouble containing the annoyance and hurt. She should be used to it by now. Faith was always the best at getting emotions to spill from her. The good ones and the bad ones.
“I asked,” Faith started, licking her lips, “I…” the brunette faltered, but stood up and shoved her hands in her jeans pockets. “So, part of the whole growing up shit that Angel helped me work through was that apologizing thing and I know I’ve been doing okay, but I…I still need some work y’know?” When no immediate retort was given, Faith grew a tad bolder and stepped up into her girlfriend’s personal space.
“I didn’t mean to pop off like that. I just wanted to apologize. Like really apologize, in person, not over some stupid hunk of plastic and silicone where you couldn’t see me and know that I meant what I was saying.” Faith reached out and pulled Buffy’s hips against her own.
Buffy held her tongue, keeping Faith waiting. Logically, she knew the argument they had before she left was stupid and she’d over reacted. Yet, she was still sort of angry, but this, seeing her here, was a surprise.
It wasn’t a bad one either.
So instead of hanging on to the last remnants of anger and the wee bit of crazy on her overreaction, she breathed out and offered instead, “You drive me up a wall, but for some stupid reason, I love you.”
Faith nodded and agreed, “I know.” A smirk formed and she teased, “I know what you mean. You aren’t easy sometimes either, B.”
Buffy was going to huff. Faith’s kiss silenced any remaining protests.
