A few hours later Buffy returned to an empty house. “Anyone home?” Her question was answered by an awful grinding noise and sparks flying past the kitchen window.

“Out back b!”

The perplexed slayer walked out to the back of the house to see Faith carefully sharpening one of the many axes in the house.

“Did you have a good time with Willow this morning?” She absentmindedly made conversation as she tested the axe blade on a small log of wood. Satisfied that the axe was indeed rather sharp she finally acknowledged the smaller woman. She walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her lover’s neck.

Buffy leant forwards with a smile and rested her forehead against Faith’s, “Yeah, we just spent the morning in this cute little coffee shop talking. You know just like we used to. But here I am, and ready to find the biggest and best tree my baby can chop down.” Buffy closed the gap and relished the warmth of Faith’s lips.

Breaking away a little, “B its mega cold out here, and it’s gonna get dark soon. Time for smoochies later- tree now. Come on let me grab my jacket and we can go.” Buffy weighed up the options briefly, smiling she pecked the brunette on the nose and walked inside.

Faith brought the pick up to a stop in the parking lot by the small forest, Buffy bounded out as the brunette paid at the meter. When Faith returned to the car, Buffy was nowhere to be seen. She looked around the car and towards a few of the trees, as she turned to her right she was hit by the bitter cold of a fresh snowball.

“Don’t start something you can’t finish B!”

Wiping off her face she reached into the back of the car and shouldered her favourite axe. She walked towards the trees silently; she could hear someone trying not to laugh. She carefully laid down her axe and crept around the left side of a giant oak, she could see Buffy leaning around the right leaning on the tree. Like a panther quickly and deadly she pounced.

“Gotcha Summers!” She pinned Buffy to the ground, who promptly let out the laughter she had been suppressing.

“I got you good Faithy! Oh the look on your face!” Faith raised herself up an off of Buffy’s body and extended her arm to lift her from the floor.

Buffy couldn’t contain her laughter as she fell onto the taller woman, “I’m telling you B watch your back now, you don’t know what’s in there that might get you,” She curled up her lip and pretended to growl at Buffy. “Come on, the ones I’ve picked aren’t far away.”

“Faith can I open my eyes yet?? I can’t see a damn thing or where I’m going either. Faith? Faith are you there?” Buffy had Faith’s scarf as an impromptu blind fold. She couldn’t see or hear her lover anywhere. The little hairs on the back of her neck stood up, she had to admit she was a little worried.

Something cold and wet hit her from the left “Faith damn you, I’m gonna get yo-arrgh!” Suddenly she was in the snow after something had tackled her from her right.

“Should be more careful B, anything out here could just eat you up.” Faith lent down and began to sensually nibble on Buffy’s earlobe; this earned a little giggle from the older girl.

“Faiiiith, let me up, or at least let me take this blindfold off!! I can’t see a thing and- oh GOD that’s cold!!” Faith had scooped up a handful of snow and very carefully planted it in Buffy’s jacket. She was now the one repressing the urge to laugh. She carefully removed the scarf around Buffy’s eyes; she placed her hand over them at the same time.

“You ready B?” Faith lifted herself and Buffy from the floor,

“Just let me see Faith” The taller girl carefully removed her hands away. Buffy gasped at the tree, her hands immediately covered her mouth as she span around to see Faith grinning like it was already Christmas morning.

“You like it?” Buffy jumped up and down speechless. “I’ll take that as a yes!!” Faith reached down for her axe,

“Oh Faith it’s perfect, I love it.” She threw her arms around Faith who was still grinning.

“And you wanted to pick one off a lot!” She kissed her briefly before shouldering her axe and walking to the tree. Three or four well placed slayer swings brought the tree down. The two girls lifted the tree and carried it to the truck.

“See, a good use for my truck. Now you can’t moan about it.” Faith stuck her tongue out at Buffy as they placed it in the flat bed.

“I’ll agree it’s practical, but you’re not taking me for dates in this thing!” Faith walked around to Buffy after they secured it.

“You don’t complain about fooling around in it.” She pulled a cheesy grin as she pulled the blonde to her; Buffy swatted her arm before complying and let herself be pulled into a warm hug.

Buffy shivered in the cold despite the heat of the two girls. “Can we get home so I can get the fire on?” Buffy looked up at Faith and smiled a little at the redness on her nose- at least she wasn’t the only one feeling the cold.

“Ok, but I’m not decorating the house,” She let her go as she unlocked the truck and the two climbed in.

“Oh I think you’ll find you are Faith, I’m not doing it on my own. And you promised you’d help me.” Buffy put on her best pout knowing that Faith would cave.

“Don’t even think it B; I have become impervious to your girlish pouting. You won’t win.” Buffy leaned over to her and placed a hand high up on the inside of her thigh and made small whimpering sounds still sporting her foolproof pout.

“It’s not going to work B. I’ve been desensitised to it. So pout all you want you won’t get your way.” She reached to turn on the ignition but Buffy had grabbed both her wrists. Faith stared back at her defiant; Buffy just nuzzled her head away and rested hers on the brunette’s shoulders. She dragged her tongue up her neck making Faith squirm a little, she blew on her neck and watched the goose bumps rise as the younger girl shivered.

In her most seductive voice she huskily whispered into her girlfriend’s ear, “Pleeeease.” Buffy grinned as she heard Faith miserably try to suppress a gulp.

She couldn’t speak she just nodded her head and Buffy released her. The tiny blonde had a wicked smile on her face the entire ride home.
