Accidentally In Love

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

Willow woke up slowly. She could feel the sun, filtering in through the curtains, onto her face and the softness of the blanket but that wasn’t what she was desperately trying to keep the feel of. No it was the warm, soft body beneath her. Somehow in the middle of the night she had moved and now her head was resting on one of Buffy’s breasts her arms were wrapped around the blondes stomach and their legs were tangled together too. Buffy’s arms were wrapped around Willows body, clasping together at the base of her spine and Willow couldn’t ever remember waking up so comfortable.

Three weeks Buffy had been in her life and she had already turned it upside down. Before now Willow had had fleeting thoughts about girls sure but she would never have believed all the changes she had gone through already. She had changed her look, she had started imaging Buffy more in her little dreams and fantasies, she had actually had her first kiss and with a girl no less! And now she was waking up in a girls arms and she felt like she never wanted to leave it.
“Morning.”

Willow reared back when she heard the sleepy voice and her shock quickly dissolved into a smile when she saw Buffy laying there with hooded eyes, messed up hair and a sleepy smile. All worries of Willow regretting what had happened last night flew out the window when she saw her smile at her and Buffy felt a small bubble of happiness swell in her chest because of it.

“Morning.”
“You hungry?” Buffy asked, slowly stroking her back causing Willow’s eyes to close once more.
“Urm yeah I could eat.” Willow nodded.
“Okay well I’ll jump in the shower. You can jump in after me and then I’ll go make us some breakfast okay?” Buffy said slowly untangling herself from Willow and the bed and immediately feeling the loss.
Damn wish It could be night for a few more hours.

After they had both had their showers they made their way downstairs, grinning happily and chattering away about going to the movies. Walking into the kitchen Willow blushed when she saw Angel and Joyce both sitting there talking and eating. For some reason she felt as if they could tell that she and Buffy had kissed last night and she couldn’t prevent the redness enter her cheeks.

“Willow! Buffy! Glad you could finally join us. Grab a plate.” Joyce smiled indicating the plates filled with sausages, bacon, eggs and toast.
“Jesus mom. Trying to fatten us up?” Buffy asked piling her plate up before digging in.
“You’re the only one whose fattening up around here.” Angel chuckled earning a glare from Buffy.
“Now now kids. No fights. So how are you Willow? Did you sleep well?” Joyce asked with a smile. She really liked this girl and she had the sneaking feeling that Buffy really liked her too.
“Im great. I slept really well.” Willow smiled spooning egg into her mouth.

“So any plans for today?”
“Yeah we’re going to go to the mall and then go watch a movie.” Buffy replied for her.
“Wow your second date. Things must be heating up.”
“ANGEL!”

At the mall the girls spent god knows how many hours making fun of certain clothes and then drooling over other ones before finally deciding to go see the new comedy Wedding Daze. Willow hadn’t mentioned anything about the night before and so Buffy did the same. Maybe it was just Willow wanting to practise to not embarrass herself when she meets a guy she really wanted to kiss. Buffy’s heart sank at the thought but she looked on the bright side. At least Willow trusted her and liked her as a friend.

“This films crap!” Willow whispered into Buffy’s ear not noticing Buffy shiver from it.
“Yeah…oh well at least its got Isla Fisher in it.” Buffy shrugged with a smile.
“Really? You think she’s nice?” Willow asked squinting up at the screen and watching the actress.
“Yep. I think I have a thing for red heads.” Buffy said that very seriously and Willow turned to look at her and their eyes met with an intensity that shocked them both. Buffy didn’t care anymore. She wasn’t gunna hide the fact she liked Willow. If Willow told her she was uncomfortable with it then she’d stop but all the signs had seemed like Willow liked her too.

“Okay…I so do not get this.” Xander grumbled slamming his math book shut.
“Me neither. Its just a bunch of random numbers.” Buffy sighed closing hers too and resting her head back against the sofa in the students lounge.
“Oh well…at least we all fail together.” Jesse shrugged.
“Nope not all of us. A Miss Rosenberg will undoubtedly get her standard A+ as always.” Xander chuckled.

“Miss Summers.”

Buffy looked up when she heard Snyder’s loathing filled voice next to her and looked up at him tiredly. She could see everyone watching and sighed. She was so not up for a scene today.
“What now?” She asked.
“Your brother is in the nurses office. He asked for you.” He grunted.
“The nurses office? Why what’s wrong with him?” Buffy asked suddenly afraid,
“He got into a fight.”
“A fight? Angel never gets into fights!” Buffy said standing up and giving Snyder a disbelieving look. He didn’t respond however, he just walked off leaving Buffy to make her own way to the nurses office. She was about to enter when Willow came trotting over with a smile on her face, glad to see the blonde.

“Hey Buffy…what are you doing going in there? Is something wrong?” Willow asked with wide eyes.
“Angel…he got into a fight apparently.” Buffy sighed before pushing the door open her eyes immediately searching for her brother. She spotted him sitting on the examination table and she gasped at the state on his face.
“Angel! God what happened?” She cried standing next to the bed and taking a hold of his hand that wasn’t holding an ice pack to his face.
“Nothing just a stupid fight with Parker.” He said vaguely avoiding looking at his visibly upset sister and Willow who stood behind her.
“No way Angel. You don’t get involved in fights…what happened? And I want all the details.” She said sternly looking up at him with her determined face. Angel sighed before looking down and then back at his sister.

“He was being crude…we were in the locker room and I heard him mention your name so I came closer and he was talking about how he wanted to watch you getting it on with his girlfriend and then how he could….well his words were...“Fuck the gay right out of her.”” Angel grunted not meeting Buffy’s eye as he retold what he had heard. Buffy sighed and nodded understandingly. It was rare but a few guys still thought it was manly to say stuff like that. They rarely meant it and just said it too look tough but she could understand why Angel would have gone nuts over it. She felt Willow’s hand slip into hers from behind and she smiled before squeezing the hand, thanking her silently.

“I…well I said to shut the fuck up, that you’re my little sister and if he ever said anything like that again I’d kill him. He said it again so I punched him but when I turned around he jumped me from behind and…well here I am.” Angel shrugged.
“Well what’s happening now?”
“I got suspended for three days.” Angel sighed.
“What about Parker!” Buffy cried out indignantly.
“He doesn’t get anything. The swim team have and important competition this Thursday so Snyder isn’t suspending him.” Angel replied watching as his sister slowly filled with rage.
“Well moms not gunna be happy with two of her kids being suspended.” Buffy said through clenched teeth.

“Two? Buffy…no don’t you-” before Angel could argue however Buffy had pulled away from both Willow and Angel and stormed from the room in search of Parker. She found him stood right in the middle of the cafeteria with his arm slung around Harmony .He was grinning wolfishly and Buffy saw red as she all but flew across the cafeteria. Her fist connected with the boys jaw before anyone could react and he and his girlfriend both went down hard. Everyone in the room was stunned and Buffy stood over the crumpled couple in anger.
“You ever say anything about me again and I’ll rip your balls off understand? And just to let you know…your Harmony isn’t my type, so in your dreams ass hole.” She said all of this before picking up a tray of food and throwing it all over them. Everyone around cheered as they watched the biggest asshole and the second biggest bitch in the school get humiliated and Buffy grinned taking a bow to everyone before turning to face a still slack jawed principal.

“So Mr Snyder…I guess im suspended too huh?”

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

“You both got suspended!!” Joyce yelled looking between her two children in complete disbelief.
“Yes mom. We both got suspended.” Angel sighed looking down at the floor.
“Okay…care to explain why.”
When Angel and Buffy both described the events of what happened Joyce just seemed to grow more angry and by the time they were finished her lips were a thin white line and her eyes were an almost black colour.
“Parker Abrahams? His mother works with me…the little twit!” Joyce grumbled and didn’t say another word to Angel and Buffy instead giving them both twenty dollars and telling them to go have fun.

“So your mother wasn’t mad?” Willow laughed.
“Nope. She gave me some money and just told me to have fun.” Buffy laughed pressing the phone closer to her ear.
“Wow I wish my mom was like that. They’re going out of town again. For the whole weekend this time.” Willow sighed. She hated staying home alone and secretly she was hoping Buffy would take the hint.
“You want me to come over? I could stay the entire weekend if you want?” Buffy smiled her eyes lighting up at the thought of spending so much time alone with her.
“Well…yeah if you want…will your mother mind?” Willow asked doing her snoopy dance.
“Nah! I’ll pack a bag and then I’ll come straight over.” Buffy grinned.
“Okay see you. Byee!”
Buffy jumped up straight away and ran downstairs to where her mom and Angel were watching TV.

“Mom Willow's parents are out of town for the weekend and she’s scared bout staying there by herself so can I go and stay over there?” Buffy asked excitedly giving her mother pleading eyes. Joyce glanced at Angel then back at Buffy and gave her a look.
“Well…okay.” Joyce sighed nodding in resignation.
“What! No! No way! How is that fair!” Angel cried giving his mom an angry look.
“What do you mean? How isn’t it fair?” Buffy asked giving Angel evil eyes.
“Because! You….Willow….alone in a house…for two days!? I would never be allowed to stay over a girlfriends house for the weekend!” Angel grunted.
“Willow’s not my girlfriend. She’s my friend.”
“Yeah right! How long you going to be playing that card for.” Angel grumbled.
“Your brothers right Buffy…it wouldn’t be fair.” Joyce sighed looking at her apologetically. Buffy’s mouth opened and closed for a second before she settled on a frown and stood up storming back up stairs angrily.
She snatched the phone up and sighed when she heard Willow’s excited greeting.

“Hey Wills…look im sorry im not allowed.” Buffy sighed.
“Your not? Why!?” Willow asked her good mood dashed by the news.
“Cause my brother wont keep his mouth shut…don’t worry though. I’ll sneak out okay? When everyone’s gone to bed I’ll sneak over and come back in the morning…just to keep you safe of course.” Buffy hastily added.
“Your sure? I don’t want you getting into trouble.” Willow said wearily.
“No I wont get caught I swear. I got a lock on my door anyway.” Buffy shrugged.
“Okay well…I’ll see you then.”
“Sure thing.”
Buffy put the phone down with a heavy sigh and buried her head in her pillow. Angel was a moron.

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

Angel and Joyce didn’t go to sleep till gone twelve and as soon as she heard their bedroom doors shut she was up and out of her window. She got to Willows in record time and when Willow opened her door with a huge smile on her face Buffy’s answering grin was just as blinding.
“Hey you made it.” Willow grinned pulling Buffy into a hug.
“Sure I did…now…let the fun begin.” Buffy beamed holding up the bag of popcorn she held.

Buffy and Willow had grown more and more touchy lately so when Willow crawled into Buffy’s lap to watch the film she didn’t even bat and eyelid, she just wrapped her arm around Willow’s waist and continued to watch the film. They both must have fallen asleep at some point because when Buffy woke up the film they had been watching had ended and the fuzzy white and black screen was flickering. She went to stretch but realised she couldn’t because Willow was laying on top of her. She smiled down at the sweet looking red head and couldn’t help but run her fingers through her soft hair. Willow must have been a light sleeper because before Buffy’s fingers had even moved away, Willows eyes fluttered open and stared into Buffy’s hazel ones. She hadn’t realised just how close their faces were and the breath caught in her throat when she felt Willow’s breath on her face.
She felt their faces getting closer and she sighed when her lips met the red heads again in a gentle kiss that quickly escalated. Buffy had been craving Willow’s kiss since their little sleepover and she couldn’t help herself deepening the kiss and making Willow gasp into her mouth.
This time their kiss was more sure of itself. Neither one held back and their tongues clashed passionately creating a flare of arousal light up in both of them.

Willow couldn’t believe it. She was kissing Buffy. A girl. Again! She whimpered when she felt Buffy nibble on her lower lip and then groaned when the blondes mouth decided to travel along her jaw line and then neck. She squirmed at the pleasure that was coursing through her just from the kiss and she felt her stomach flip when Buffy twisted around, laying Willow on her back while Buffy loomed over her. Buffy’s hands followed her mouth’s lead and began to wander and that’s when Willow freaked out. Kissing she could handle but touching? Nope. This was like her second real kiss and she was nowhere near ready for it to go any further.

“Buffy…stop.”
As soon as she said it Buffy pulled away staring down at her.
“Im sorry.” She rasped. Her voice was always hoarse when she was turned on and Willow felt a shiver go through her at the tone.
“No…it’s not your fault. No need to be sorry.” Willow spoke softly.
“Why…what was wrong?” Buffy asked in confusion. Willow had been giving as good as she got and Buffy wondered if she had over stepped her bounds by kissing her again.

“Nothing was wrong. Its just…that was just my second kiss and I didn’t want things going further which I knew it would have if I hadn’t of stopped.”
Buffy nodded at that answer and sighed looking Willow in the eyes.
“Will…what is this? I mean…are you still just practising or…”
Willow could practically taste the insecurity in Buffy’s voice and she quickly put a stop to it placing a gentle kiss on her lips.
“Im not practising…I…well I like you…I’ve never had a boyfriend never mind a girlfriend before so this is all kinda new but…I like you.”
Buffy had never felt happier and she grinned at the girl beneath her and kissed her forehead.
“I like you too.” She whispered.
“So…what…I mean…can we just carry on like we are now? And see where things go.” Willow asked awkwardly.
“Sure.” Buffy nodded.
“Good cause I am so not ready to tell people I actually like a girl.” Willow laughed in relief.
“Hmm I’ll be there when you are.” Buffy smiled.
