Accidentally In Love

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *



The next week of school went perfectly. Buffy spent all her time in and out of school with her new friends and she already couldn’t imagine being without them. Xander was so loveable and such a brother type she was completely comfortable with him. Jesse she discovered was just as much a joker as Xander except he was slightly more socially accepted than Xander because he was on the basket ball and Willow…well Willow was making it increasingly harder for Buffy to fight her attraction to her. For one thing she had decided now was the time for a makeover and had had Buffy go on a shopping spree with her buying lots more much cooler clothes and they had even gone to the hair salon after it.



If Willow was pretty before now she was gorgeous. She had her hair cut to just below her chin. It complimented her features perfectly and even Xander’s jaw had dropped when he saw her. Buffy honestly hadn’t expected for school to go this well and so it came as no surprise that something went wrong. She had been sitting next to Willow in the crowded cafeteria when Snyder had decided to do the rounds. She hadn’t noticed him when he walked in and just carried on her conversation with Xander and Jesse about the joys of Star Wars and somehow the fact that Willow was crazy ticklish came up. Giving Willow an evil smirk, the red head had tried to jump away but Buffy’s fingers were too quick and she tickled the girls stomach mercilessly.



“Buffy Summers!” Her name being called made her jump and the entire cafeteria went silent as they all watched the new girl get approached by the evil worm of a headmaster.

“Stop that right now!” He screamed even as he stood less than a foot away. He was obviously making a point of making sure everyone was listening.

“Stop what? I was just-”

“I know exactly what you were just doing! There is no prejudice or discrimination in this school but I cannot put up with you flaunting your private business like that!”

Everyone in the room frowned trying to figure out what Snyder meant but only five knew what he was talking about. Willow, Xander, Jesse, Angel and Buffy herself.

“I wasn’t flaunting my private life.” Buffy gritted out. She knew he was just itching to scream out she was gay and she could see the cogs working in his brain trying to find a way to say it without getting in trouble for divulging personal details.



“I saw you with your arms around her while she tried to get away! Miss Rosenberg doesn’t need your kind perusing and badgering her.” He snapped.

“My kind? What do you mean my kind?” Buffy asked slowly standing up to face the principal. Angel wasn’t far behind her coming to his sisters defence.

“Yeah…I’d like to know that too.” Angel snarled, glaring at the short man.

“This is none of your business Summers.” Snyder sniped back.

“Hell yes it is when you’re specifically picking on my sister for no god damn reason.” Angel yelled back.

“No god damn reason! She was flaunting her homosexuality right under my nose.”



There he had finally done what he was hoping to do anyway. Buffy saw the smug satisfaction in his eyes when people around them gasped and Buffy rolled her eyes at the drama of it all. At Hemery she had happily walked around holding hands, hugging and kissing her girlfriends and no one blinked once. Here they made it out like it was a huge reveal in a court case or something.

“Why you little prick!” Angel growled. He was about to jump at the man when Buffy stood in front of him and put a hand on his chest to calm him down which he instantly did.

“Go sit back down Angel. I can deal with him its fine.” Buffy said quietly. She could feel everyone’s stares on her but she really didn’t care.

“You sure?”

“Yep. Im good.” She nodded watching as he walked away. The sound of his footsteps receding in the dead silence of the room was slightly unnerving and Buffy took a deep breath before turning back to Snyder, looking him square in the eye.



“You have a problem with me being gay…I really don’t care. You want to suspended me or whatever go ahead and do it but I’ll have you sued in seconds. Now can I go back to eating with my friends or not?” She asked raising one eyebrow as he seemed to stutter over his words before finally giving up and storming off. Buffy turned back around, her eyes quickly glancing over everyone’s faces, showing she honestly didn’t care what they thought of her before lowering herself back into her seat.

“Well that was eventful.”

The rest of the day had been absolutely terrible. Everywhere she went she had everyone staring at her all the while whispering to their friends. She had walked into the bathroom and everyone had gone instantly silent and she had just turned straight around and walked back out. She wondered if they would just get over it or really make an issue about it. No one had been outright hostile to her yet. Of course she hadn’t had P.E with all the popular girls yet. She stood outside the door for the girls locker room nervously biting her lip and breathing deeply and that’s how Willow found her.



“Buffy?”

“Hey Will.” Buffy sighed turning to give her friend a weak smile.

“Are you okay? What are you doing out here?” She asked giving her friend a sympathetic look and grabbing her hand stroking the back of it comfortingly without realising what she was doing.

Buffy almost froze at the touch but she held it back just smiling at her, feeling instantly better. As long as she had her friends and Angel she didn’t care about anyone else and she nodded her head before replying.

“Waiting for everyone to change. I cant be dealing with a huge scene today.” Buffy sighed.

“Aw Buffy…they wont be that mean.” Willow assured her.

“Cordy?”



“Oh.”

“Yeah…Oh.” Buffy laughed wryly.

“Okay. Here goes.” She breathed pushing the door open and walking in. Everyone was already changed like Buffy had planned and Buffy and Willow went straight over to the empty lockers which just so happened to be opposite Cordelia’s, trying to ignore the silence as the girls waited for the teacher.

“Well, well, well. Buffy. I wondered if you’d have the guts to show up here.” Cordelia smirked looking the blonde up and down in disgust.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Buffy muttered not turning to face the spiteful girl.

“Because no one wants a huge uber dyke watching us change!” Cordelia laughed being joined by her band of followers. None of the other twenty girls laughed however and Buffy took comfort in that.

“I wouldn’t want to watch your skanky lop sided ass change anyway.” Buffy snapped. That got a laugh out of the rest of the girls and Cordelia shot them all a glare.



“Well I doubt the other girls are very comfortable with you here either.” Cordelia said giving her a cold look. Buffy sighed and finally turned to face the other girls. Everyone was looking at her. Some with looks of curiosity, some with blank stares and some with unsure eyes. Taking a risk Buffy sighed.

“Do any of you want me to leave?” She asked looking at the girls who really mattered not the popular girls. Buffy despite not being ashamed of everyone finding out and hating people who were homophobic could understand why some girls might be uncomfortable with her being there and she didn’t want that and so she looked around earnestly. Not one person raised their hand or said anything and Buffy nodded turning back to Cordelia.

“Looks like Im staying.” She said flatly turning and pulling her shirt over her head.

“No way! Get-”

“Shut up Cordelia!”

Buffy turned surprised eyes to the origins of the noise and was surprised to see Samantha Mathers, a well liked girl who was in the drama crowd glaring angrily at Cordelia.

“What did you say?” Cordelia asked, venom dripping from her words.

“I said shut up. She’s different, she’s not diseased.”

“Yeah. Loads of people are gay now. Leave her alone. At least she admits it.” Another girl that Buffy knew as Sarah joined in.

“Are you all serious? She could like…stare at you while you change!” Cordelia said in disgust.

“You know you love it really Cordy.” Buffy smiled sweetly while wagging her eyebrows at the brunette. Everyone laughed except Cordy. Even her little Cordettes chuckled before following after their fuming leader.

“I think you just got accepted.” Willow whispered in her ear before she too pulled her shirt off and pulled another one quickly back on.



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *



As the week drew on it got better and better until eventually the silence and stares stopped. If anything it made Buffy more popular except with the cheerleaders and Cordelia. The boys tortured her mercilessly but were all good natured about it while many of the girls actually thought she was brave for sticking up for herself to Snyder. Snyder himself was downright furious about it. He thought outing her in front of everyone would make everyone turn their backs on her and eventually she would leave. That plan had backfired.

“So ladies what’s your pleasure?” Xander asked with a wink.

“Coke please.” Buffy smiled.

“Me to!” Willow agreed.

“I cant believe it’s Friday already.” Willow beamed happy to finally be out of school.



“Me either…you still want to sleep over?” Buffy asked rather nervously. Willow’s parents were staying out tonight and told her to sleep out as well. She had nervously asked Buffy if she could stay at hers and she had just as nervously agreed.

“Yeah…sure. We can watch movies and have a proper girl night.” Willow said excitedly.

“I thought maybe your parents would change their minds.”

“Why would they change their minds? They love you! Of course they’d let me sleep over.”

“Yeah that was before the entire town found out that im gay.” Buffy snorted. Somehow this was massive news in the small town of Sunnydale and news had spread so fast Buffy didn’t even need to tell her mom about Snyder outing her because she heard it off a friend from work..

“I don’t think they’ve heard yet.” Willow said biting her lip awkwardly.

“Will they freak out when they do?” Buffy asked sadly.

“…I don’t know. They’re reallllly jewish.” She said and Buffy nodded understandingly.

“They wont stop us being friends right?” She asked unable to hide the fear from her voice. Willow didn’t reply and Buffy looked down at the table trying to bite back the tears. She was quickly falling for the red head and she already had to deal with the fact she would never have her the way she wanted but to not have her even as a friend tortured her which is why when Angel strolled over with a vodka and coke she snatched it out of his hands and downed it in one.

Willow came out of the bathroom after changing her clothes and her eyes bugged out when she saw Buffy bent over the bed with her ass high in the air. She was only wearing a pair of hot pants and a tank top and the shorts barely covered her ass making Willow gasp.

“What did you say?” Buffy asked straightening to look at Willow.

“Oh nothing...so…how do we do this?” Willow asked looking at the bed.

“Well…I don’t want to make you uncomfortable so you can take the bed and I’ll take the floor.” Buffy shrugged preparing for a night of no sleep. Not just because Willow would be so near but because she knew how hard and cold her floor was.

“No!. I mean…no…we can share the bed. Its big enough right.” Willow shrugged trying not to sound too desperate. She had been looking forward to sleeping over Buffy’s for days and she really wanted to sleep in the bed with her. She tried to forget the reasons why she wanted to.

“Oh okay. Well left sides mine.” Buffy grinned before climbing under the sheets to be joined by Willow. Buffy’s skin felt like it was on fire as she tried to maintain a distance between herself and Willow. If she touched her now she was pretty sure she’d end up being smacked down for trying to kiss her.

After a silent five minutes, Buffy was sure Willow had fallen asleep and she disappointedly tried to follow only to be pulled back when she heard Willow speaking.



“Im bored. Talk to me?”

Buffy rolled over to face Willow and smiled in the dark as the girl looked at her sadly.

“What do you wanna talk about?” She asked.

“Hmm how about twenty question?” Willow suggested.

“The game? Sure okay. You go first.”

“How old was you when you first kissed a girl?”

Buffy blinked at the sudden question and giggled.

“Hmm? Straight to the hard stuff huh? Well…what do you mean by kiss? Peck or tongues?”

The idea of Buffy’s tongue in her mouth made Willow shiver and she gulped nervously.

“Tongues.”

“I was...twelve.”

“Twelve?!” Willow gasped.

“Yeah. Her name was Casey…it was her birthday and we had a sleepover which led to practising kissing.” Buffy shrugged.

“Wow.”

“My turn…um…im going to be nice and ask you something easy…how did you meet Xander?” Buffy smiled watching as Willow explained about a yellow crayon. The smile on her face showed it was one of her best memories and Buffy nodded in understanding.

“What’s the furthest you’ve gone?” Buffy’s eyes widened and she looked at her like she was insane.

“Willow! Your asking all dirty ones!” She laughed as if she was offended by the questions.

“Just answer dumb ass.” Willow chuckled.

“Well. You already know i’ve had sex with a guy. So all the way I guess.” Buffy replied.

“No I meant with a girl.” Willow said eagerly. Buffy’s eyebrows rose when she heard the eagerness in the girls voice but she didn’t say anything about it.

“Well…I don’t know. As far as you can I guess.” Buffy laughed.

“Oh.” Willow nodded.

“Okay now for a toughie since yours are so personal. What’s the farthest you’ve gone?” Buffy asked curiously. Willow seemed so innocent and Buffy was honestly interested.



“No where.” Willow replied blushing and burying her face in her pillow.

“What do you mean no where?” Buffy asked in confusion.

“I mean no where. I’ve never gotten anywhere.” Willow sighed.

“Well…kisses count to.” Buffy shrugged.

“No…i’ve never done that either.” Willow felt beyond embarrassed at admitting that. She was sixteen and had never been kissed. Lame. She hoped Buffy wouldn’t think she was a loser now.

“Oh…seriously? Why not?” Buffy asked in complete shock. Why hadn’t someone like Willow gotten kissed yet?

“Well im not the kind of girl a guy kisses.” Willow said awkwardly.

“And…you aint ever kissed one of your friends even? No girl friends you’ve practised on?” Buffy asked quietly.

“No…I’ve never had a girl as a friend to do that with.”

The silence that followed was tense as hell and Buffy could almost feel both her and Willows heart’s thudding loudly in the silence of the sleeping house. She was so close to suggesting what she wanted to but she was too scared. She couldn’t deal with it if Willow rejected her but it turned out she didn’t have even have to say anything Willow did that for her.

“So…you practised with your friends?” She asked biting her lip.

“Yeah sure.” Buffy nodded inching just a little closer.

“Will you…I mean….you could help m-” before Willow could finish her sentence she was cut off by Buffy’s soft lips suddenly moving forward to touch hers. The two seemed completely startled by the kiss and Buffy pulled back quickly to look Willow in the eyes. She searched for the regret and disgust she was afraid of finding there but instead smiled when she saw the dreamy look in Willow’s eyes and the small smile on her face.



“Wow.”



“Wow huh?” Buffy smirked proudly.

“Umm yeah that was good.” Willow coughed embarrassed by the very words she was speaking.

“Hmm wanna practise some more?” Buffy smirked.

“Yes please.”

This time when their lips met Buffy couldn’t help herself and she moved closer, cautiously placing her hand on Willow’s hip. She didn’t move away from her touch instead moving closer and Buffy moaned happily against the red head’s lips. When she felt the lips beneath hers open slightly Buffy couldn’t believe her luck and she darted her tongue inside her eyes rolling behind their lids when she got the first taste of the girl she had been dreaming about since coming to Sunnydale. Willow took a bit of time to respond but was soon eagerly responding, tangling her tongue with Buffy’s and moaning at the sensations rolling through her.



How had she missed out on this! She never thought kissing could be so good and she was doing a dance inside that Buffy seemed to be enjoying it too. When they finally broke apart they were both panting heavily and Willow had to blink a couple of times to get rid of the haze.

“That was…well…god.” Buffy grinned looking down at the sheet embarrassedly.

“Was…was I any good?”

The question brought Buffy out of her stupor and she lifted her head to look up at Willow again with a sincere look on her face.

“You were amazing. A natural kisser I guess if that was your first kiss.” Buffy said, stroking her fingers down the side of Willow’s cheek. If she was uncomfortable with the touch she didn’t show it and Buffy felt another flare of hope go through her.

“You were good too…very good.” Willow smiled.

Buffy smiled a little before getting up and climbing out of bed.

“I need the bathroom okay. I’ll be right back.”

Buffy hurried from the room and into the bathroom, immediately slipping her hand down the front of her bottoms. She was never this needy ever. Even when her and her past girlfriends had made out for hours she never felt the need to rush off and get herself off but she felt like if she didn’t get some relief she’d end up doing it in bed with Willow right there.

Her underwear was soaking and she stifled her gasps as her fingers went straight for her clit rubbing it frantically. She held herself up by the sink and closed her eyes imaging Willow in here with her. Her tiny hand rubbing her and bringing her off instead of her own. She slipped one finger inside herself and then her knees buckled as she flew over the edge gritting out Willow’s name.



She slowly got herself back under control and washed her hands before splashing her face to cool herself down and slipping back into her room in time to see Willow yawning.

Buffy laughed at how cute she was when she yawned but that thought was stolen from her when Willow suddenly pulled Buffy into the bed, laying her head on Buffy’s shoulder and throwing her arm across her stomach. She almost forgot to breath at being so close to her but she wasn’t gunna miss a moment of this by passing out so she just smiled and closed her eyes, comforted by the warm body pressed into her side.
