Dawn sat at a table in the Bronze with her friend Janice, and sipped on her 7 UP. They had spent the evening together talking about the boys in their classes, Brad Pitt’s last movie, what a bitch Kirsty was, and several of their other usual topics. Dawn was starting to get bored.

“Whoa! Heads up, but don’t look.” said Janice. Dawn spent a second wondering how she was supposed to do both. “Here comes Kevin and David.”

Dawn felt a thrill run down her spine. She thought that Kevin Berman was the dreamiest guy in the tenth grade, and Janice knew that she felt that way. His friend David was pretty hot too. She knew that Janice had her sights set on him.

“Hey Janice!” said Kevin. “Dawn.”

Now that he had spoken it was safe for Dawn to look around without losing cool points. She smiled at him. “Hi Kevin. What’s up?”

“Um, we were kinda wondering if you ladies would, um, like to dance?” asked David.

‘*Yes!*’ screamed Dawn in her mind, but she worked to maintain her outer cool. It wouldn’t do to seem to be too eager. “Um, yeah. That’d be nice.”

Janice was less restrained. She was already out of her seat, and had taken hold of David’s arm to drag him out onto the dance floor. “Love to!”

Dawn smiled at Kevin, and got out of her seat more slowly. She let him lead her out onto the floor.

Kevin and David came back and joined them at their table after the dance. They bought the next round of drinks, and a plate of nachos for them to munch on. The conversation got a few new topics. Dawn and Janice refrained from commenting on Brad Pitt’s career, or about the boys in their classes. They were all in agreement that Kirsty was a bitch though.

The conversation was interrupted by frequent returns to the dance floor. At first all of the dances had been to songs with a strong beat, lots of movement, little contact, but as the evening went on Kevin and Dawn started moving closer, and staying out on the floor when the music switched to something slower. At first he was careful to keep a gap between their bodies, but after a while the gap disappeared, and his hand was around on the small of her back. Her arms were up around his neck.

In the middle of one dance Dawn felt him stiffen. (Actually she’d felt him stiffen quite a while back, this was a sudden tension in his whole body.) She pulled away a bit and looked at him. “What’s the matter?”

“There’s a guy over by the stairs who’s staring at us.” said Kevin. “He doesn’t look happy.”

Dawn suspected that she knew who Kevin was talking about. She slowly turned them around, so she could see, and had her suspicions confirmed. “That’s just Xander. He’s a friend of my sister’s. Thinks he’s my big brother or something, and he’s afraid you’re going to molest me.” She saw Kevin blush.

Xander was at a table with Willow. She was watching them too, but she didn’t have Xander’s frown on her face. She was smiling.

Dawn’s watch started to beep. “Oh damn!” She turned off the alarm. “It’s almost ten. I gotta go. If I’m not home by ten on a school night Buffy submits me to a whole inquisition.”

“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!” said Kevin.

Dawn giggled. “Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear!”

“Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency.” said Kevin. “Our *three* weapons!”

People around them on the dance floor were starting to give them strange looks. Dawn decided to stop. “You don’t have to worry about Xander. He can get along with anyone who can quote Monty Python, but I really gotta be going.”

“I should be getting home too.” said Kevin. “You live on Revello don’t you? Why don’t I walk you home?”

“That’d be nice.” said Dawn. “It’s not out of your way?” She was a little surprised that Kevin knew where she lived.

“Nyah. I’m going by your place anyway. I’m on Hadley.”

They went back to their table to collect their jackets, and left the Bronze together. For the first block they just walked side by side. For the second they held hands. For the third Kevin’s arm was around Dawn’s waist.

Kevin walked Dawn right up onto the front porch of her house. “Um, you want to go out to a movie tomorrow night?” he asked.

Dawn smiled. “Yeah, that’d nice. What do you want to see?”

“You can pick.” said Kevin. “Let me know what you want tomorrow at school.”

“I’ll do that.” said Dawn. She leaned forward and gave him an awkward kiss on his lips.

At first Kevin was surprised, but soon he was kissing Dawn back. She felt his arms going around her back. Her lips started to part as she felt his hand sliding down to her rump.

“Ahem!”

Buffy had seen the two of them on the front porch from half a block away. She had slowed her pace a bit as she watched them talking, and then she’d seen Dawn initiate the kiss. It didn’t look like either of them had had much practice at this. She had gotten as far as the walk up to the house when she saw the boy’s hand moving down to her sister’s ass. He was a fast learner. She decided it was time to let them know she was there.

“Ahem!”

Dawn and the boy jumped apart, and both of them blushed furiously.

“Oh! Hey! Hi Buffy!” said Dawn.

Buffy smiled. “Hello. Are you going to introduce me to your friend?”

“Oh, yeah. Buffy, this is Kevin Berman. Kevin this is my sister Buffy.”

“Nice to meet you Kevin.” Buffy came up the steps onto the porch and got out her keys to unlock the door. “Why don’t you two finish saying goodnight to each other? It’s time for Dawn to be inside.” She unlocked and opened the door. She went into the house and closed the door again behind her without looking back.

Dawn and Kevin were alone on the porch again. “So, um, I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” said Kevin. “Goodnight.” He started to turn away.

Dawn grabbed his hand and pulled him back. She gave him another kiss, more chaste than what the last one had been developing into. “Goodnight.”

She let Kevin go, and watched him walk away. He kept looking back over his shoulder at her until he passed out of sight.

Dawn entered the house. She could hear Buffy in the kitchen. She was pulling some cold pizza out of the fridge when Dawn got there.

Buffy put the pizza box on the kitchen island, and got out the jug of milk. “So how long have you known Kevin? He looks familiar.”

“A couple of years.” said Dawn. “We’ve been in some of the same classes since grade eight.”

Buffy poured herself a glass of milk. “So you had a date with him tonight?”

“Not a ‘date’ date.” said Dawn. One of Buffy’s rules was that Dawn wasn’t to go on dates without telling Buffy first. So far she really hadn’t had much opportunity to break it. “I was at the Bronze with Janice, and we just kinda ran into each other there, and then he walked me home.” She smiled. “We have a date for tomorrow night though!”

“Hmm.” said Buffy. She took a bite out of her cold pizza, and washed it down.

Dawn saw a look of distant sadness cross Buffy’s face. “What’s the matter? You aren’t going to not let me go!”

“No! No.” said Buffy. “It’s nothing. I just remembered where I’d seen Kevin before. Not important.”

“It made you unhappy.” said Dawn. “Oh, god, he isn’t part of some demon worshiping cult or something is he?”

“No, nothing like that… It just has some…unhappy associations. Nothing bad about Kevin.”

“Come on Buffy, now I’m going to worry until you tell me what got you upset.”

Buffy sighed. “I wasn’t upset. He just reminded me of something.” Dawn crossed her arms, and just looked at her. “Okay. Kevin is the boy you were talking to in your art class when I came to the school to tell you about Mom.”

“Oh.” Dawn felt the memories of that horrible day come flooding back. She had forgotten about Kevin being there when Buffy came to get her.

“Hey, it’s okay.” Buffy gave her sister a hug. “Like I said: sad, not bad. I even remember seeing him watching through the window. He was worried about you. He seems like a nice guy. Anyway, you have school tomorrow. Time for you to go to bed.”

Buffy was watching the news on TV when Willow came in. “Hi Buffy! You should have been at the Bronze tonight. Dawn met a real cutie!”

“I know.” said Buffy. “She was smooching him on the porch when I got home. His name’s Kevin Berman.”

“Hmm. I wonder if he’s Chris’s brother?”

“Chris?”

“Chris Berman. He was on the Sunnydale High basketball team. I met him a couple of times while I was tutoring Percy. He was one of Oz’s archers during the battle. Seemed like a good guy. Left town to go to Cal Tech.”

“Not ringing any bells.” said Buffy. “But Dawn really seems to like Kevin. They’ve got a date for tomorrow night.”

---

Dawn lay in her bed, trying to decide what movie they should go to. She wanted to impress Kevin with her taste, and not inflict a chick flick on him right away. Their conversation earlier in the evening had revealed that he’d already seen /The Two Towers/. She didn’t want to watch things blowing up, so the new James Bond movie was out, and she thought that Harry Potter was probably too kiddish. (She did want to see it, but was afraid Kevin would think it too immature. She’d have to slip a Hogwarts comment into a conversation sometime soon to see how he reacted to it.) She finally settled on the new Speilberg film, /Catch Me If You Can/.

While she thought her right hand had crept down into her pajama bottoms between her legs, and she had started to idly stroke the outer lips of her labia. She thought about kissing Kevin, and what it would feel like to have his hand down there. She felt herself moistening. Her left hand came up under her pajama top, and started to stroke her breast, while she imagined it was Kevin’s. She gently rubbed her nipple, and felt it tighten.

The fingers of her right hand were exploring deeper. She brought one up a bit, and touched it to her clit. A wave of pleasure seemed to spread outward as she circled her finger around it.

Dawn moaned deep in her throat as she slowly inserted her middle finger into her vagina, being careful not to put much pressure on her hymen. She probed deeper, looking for her G-spot. She gasped when she found it. Dawn started moving her finger in and out. As her middle finger moved she rubbed her index and ring fingers between the inner and outer lips of her labia.

Every muscle in Dawn’s body seemed to be tensing up as she rubbed her G-spot with her finger tip, and the base of her finger pressed against her clit. She knew that this orgasm was going to be one of her better ones.

Dawn tightened her thighs around her hand, and tried to push her finger in deeper. The release suddenly washed over her, she felt her vagina walls convulsing around her finger. She tried to contain her cry of pleasure, but a deep groan escaped from her.

Dawn lay for a moment, gasping for breath, with her finger still inside her. “Wow!” she whispered. That had been a good one. After a moment she reached for the box of tissues she kept beside her bed, and used some to clean the moisture off her fingers, and from between her legs. She would normally have taken them to the bathroom, and flushed the evidence down the toilet, but she was too relaxed. She decided that could wait until the morning. She rolled over onto her side, and went to sleep.

---

Buffy smiled and rolled over in her bed too. She was a little embarrassed that she had lain there listening to her sister masturbate. She worried that it might be a little perverted that she got pleasure out of listening to Dawn pleasure herself. On the other hand, getting a little vicarious happiness from a loved one’s pleasure was a good thing. She had certainly done a lot more perverted things with Spike last year.
