Marshmallow

Disclaimer: I'm just lending Joss' charactors for my own fun, don't hurt me.

Faith's POV

I look her up and down she’s wearing a knee length pink skirt and a peach twin set. She looks so innocent, pure all that stuff. I know she isn't, I just wish I could break her protective sphere and get inside her...in the literal sense....she stares at Giles waiting for his orders, as she listens intently I follow the curves of her body from her pert breasts to her slim hips down to her waiting thighs. If I could have any wish in the world it would be to take her right now on the library desk, I whimper slightly alone in my thoughts, I open my eyes in a flash to see Giles and Buffy staring at me worried.
“Are you ok?” Buffy’s voice sings to me like an angel, she places her hand on my arm, to me it felt electric, to her an electric shock.
“Ouch” she pulls her hand back. I nod that I’m ok and stare at Giles for him to finish his sermon like drone.

Buffy's POV

I stand against the hard wood of the library desk, Giles telling me the usual stuff, there’s a demon on the loose, I have to slay blah blah etc. I look over to Faith who has her eyes closed, that girl could sleep during an earthquake I’m sure. I look back to Giles and nod that I understand everything, I really couldn’t care, it’s too hot and stuffy in the library I stretch a little and hear a small mew behind me I look over to Faith who has the look of a deer in headlights.
“Are you ok?” I ask worryingly, I pat her arm reassuringly and pull back quickly; she gave me an electric shock.
“Ouch” I rub my fingers together pained. I look back at Faith, she nods that’s she’s ok and we allow Giles to finish his speech.

Faith's POV

I grab Buffy by the hand and drag her out of the library hurriedly I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants to get out, once outside she stops me.
“Hey are you sure you’re alright? She asks me seriously, I brush her arm and smile.
“I’m great” I assure her nodding. “Can we go get some food? I’m starving!” I add, she rolls her eyes and starts walking down the hall. I stand still for a second, watching her walk, its as if everything goes slow motion.
“Are you coming or what?” she asks impatiently.
“Heh….” I wake up from my day dream and skip down the hall to her.

Buffy's POV

Faith grabs my hand and we walk out of the library, I can’t wait to get outside. I stop her though, I’m still curious about her.
“Hey are you sure you’re alright?” I ask her, she smiles at me and rubs my arm.
“I’m great” she nods at me. I believe her, I’m sure she would tell me if there was something wrong…wouldn’t she?
“Can we go get some food? I’m starving!” She exclaims, typical Faith, always slaying or eating. I roll my eyes at her, turn on my heel and start walking down the hall, she doesn’t follow. She looks stoned.
“Are you coming or what?” I ask sharply. She wakes up from wherever she was.
“Heh…” She giggles like a child. Perhaps I should have rephrased that, but I didn’t expect a grown woman to act like a school boy. She skips towards me and we walk out of the school.

Faith's POV

We walk back to Buffy’s; she said she’ll make me something, I know what I want her to make and it sure as hell isn’t food…although I could go for a rack of ribs. We arrive at her home, pristine as usual; I’m scared to breathe in case I put something out of place.
“You can sit down if you want?” She points to the settee and I slowly sit down acting as ladylike as I can, I cross one leg over the other and lose my balance ending up on the floor, she looks at me shiftily before backing out of the front room into the kitchen. I stand up and grip the seat beneath me and sit down cautiously.
“Ain’t going back on the floor” I whisper to myself sitting perfectly still.
“What do you want to eat?” She yells from the kitchen. I can’t shake off all of the sexual innuendoes going through my head.
“I...urm…what have you got?” I manage to stammer; I switch the TV on and flick through the channels ending up on a news item.
“It’s all around fun for all the family, we have donkey rides for the little ones and a special kissing contest for the big un’s” the girl cheesily winks at the camera but the county fair sounds fun….oh ok so the kissing contest sounds fun….wonder what’s so special about it?
“Hey B?” I shout in the direction of the kitchen.
“Yeah?” she replies walking into the front room with a bag of potato chips and a burger. She passes the burger towards me which stuff into my mouth to take a bite.
“Do you…” I chomp through the meat “fancy going” this is really good “to the” I swallow the contents of my mouth “county fair tomorrow?”
Buffy tilts her head.
“What?” she asks confused.
“Sorry my bad, do you want to go to the county fair tomorrow?” I say clearly and smile at her.
“Sure why not” she opens the bag of potato chips and starts nibbling all ladylike on one. I finish my burger in a few swift bites and place the plate on the table opposite us.

Buffy's POV

I take Faith back to mine, I might as well give her some food, I never know what to make her though, we arrive at the house, its tidy which is a good sign, means mum has gone away for the weekend and this is her way of telling me not to mess up.
“You can sit down if you want” I say as I point to the settee, Faith looks at it confused but attempts to sit down, she crosses her legs over and ends up on the floor, I stifle a giggle and look at her with disappointment before running into the kitchen to laugh, I recover myself and look in the cupboards for food.
“What do you want to eat?” I yell through to her.
“I…urm…what have you got?” She stutters to me, I hear the TV come on and look in another cupboard. Yay potato chips, you can’t go wrong with them and a microwavable burger, fantastic.
“Hey B?” She yells to me
“Yeah?” I reply as I carry the burger and chips into the front room, she stares at me expectantly so I offer her the burger she stuffs it into her mouth almost immediately.
“Do you…” she munches “fancy going” I can see everything inside her mouth…it’s not pretty “to the” I wait for her to finish “county fair tomorrow?”
I look at her in disbelief.
“What? I ask for her to repeat.
“Sorry my bad, do you want to go to the county fair tomorrow?” She says again and smiles goofily.
“Sure why not” I nod and open the bag of chips and crunch one in my mouth. She finishes her burger in record time and moves the plate onto the table.

Faith's POV

I like Saturdays because B doesn’t have to go to school so I get to spend more time with her, she doesn’t feel the same I’m sure but I don’t mind.
“You ready?” she asks me. I look down at my ensemble, first thing that I picked up off the floor.
“Yeah” I reply hoping I look good, wait of course I look good. We head towards the field behind the school which is where the fair is being held. I’m excited; we don’t go out much other than to The Bronze it’s like a date almost, except Buffy doesn’t know about it.
“You look nice” B tells me, I smile at her.
“Thanks, you look good too” I point at her outfit, she looks wicked sexy in her short skirt and vest top. She has real nice legs I just wish I could touch them.
We arrive at the fair and it’s quite busy, I know what I want though, I want to find the kissing contest, I grab Buffy through the crowds and look around for anything that might give away where it is at.
“Faith wait…” Buffy yells behind me. But I can’t stop until I find it, ah ha! I see a big banner and it looks promising.
“Faith!” She starts “a kissing contest…?” Yay I found it jackpot! “Why are we here?” I giggle at her.
“Read the rules for me” I ask her, I pull her towards the board in front of me.
“Sunnydale County Fair’s Alternative Kissing Contest…Faith?” she stops
“Keep reading” I nudge her and point to it.
“Ok ok…Grab your friends and join in the fun with a chance to win your choice of $500 or a life time supply of Marshmallows…” Buffy reads to me.
“Wow can we enter?” I ask excitedly.
“It’s only $500…” she complains.
“Screw the $500 I want the life time supply of Marshmallows!!” I jump up and down.
“Figures…” she whispers. I stare at her with sad eyes.
“It’s just a bit of fun B” I stick my pet lip out.
“Argh Ok! But it’s just a game yeah?” She says seriously.
“Yeah what else would it be?” I say embarrassedly, she’s onto me isn’t she.

Buffy's POV

I watch Faith get dressed; she’s really pretty, if only she’d wash more.
“You ready?” I ask her as she grabs her black jacket. She looks down at herself, she smiles, is she checking herself out?
“Yeah” She replies, she looks good, should I tell her?
“You look nice” I tell her, she smiles at me.
“Thanks, you look good too” She points at my outfit then proceeds to look me up and down, I look away from her and walk through the gates to the field behind the school. It’s quite busy but if walk around slowly we should be alright…ok maybe not, Faith pulls me through the crowds in a quick walk.
“Faith wait…” I yell at her hoping she’ll stop, what is she looking for? She stops eventually.
“Faith!” I start at her; I look up to the banner “a kissing contest…” I look at her she smiles “Why are we here?” She giggles at me and walks over to the board.
“Read the rules for me” She asks and pulls over.
“Sunnydale County Fair’s Alternative Kissing Contest…Faith?” I stop…what does it mean by alternative?!
“Keep reading” she digs her elbow into me and points at it.
“Ok ok….Grab your friends and join in the fun with a chance to win your choice of $500 or a life time supply of Marshmallows…” I finish and look at her.
“Wow can we enter” She’s all excited over it...is she mad?
“It’s only $500” I try to reason.
“Screw the $500 I want the life time supply of Marshmallows!!” she jumps up and down. I stare at her, she just wants the marshmallows!! Oh my god!!
“Figures…” I whisper, she gives me puppy eyes, if I don’t do it she’ll be in a mood all day.
“It’s just a bit of fun B” She puts her pet lip out.
“Argh Ok! But it’s just a game yeah?” I don’t want her to think I want to kiss her, I do I would like to see what her lips feel like, but I don’t want her to think I’m that way inclined.
“Yeah what else would it be?” She looks away shocked, I think I offended her.

Faith's POV

Buffy and I stand next to each other in a little blocked off booth, there’s about 4 other best friend types lined up to take part. I’m excited I’m going to kiss B, I’ve been wanting this for so long, I stare at her trying to look good, I think I failed miserably she stares at me as if I’m diseased.
“Sorry just nervous” I lie, what could I be nervous about, it’s just Buffy…oh my god it’s Buffy I’m going to kiss Buffy, well now I’m wicked nervous.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s just for fun, just for marshmallows…” she doesn’t look at me, I wonder if she’s nervous or just going to pretend I’m someone else.
“On the sound of the whistle you start kissing and whoever lasts the longest wins the prize!” a man speaks into a microphone addressing us. I think I’m ready; I look at Buffy she takes a deep breath and looks at me. It goes quiet and we hear the whistle, she moves closer to me and we both close our eyes as our lips meet. She’s so soft, her mouth moves rhythmically against mine, she places her hand on my arm to steady herself; I take the risk to place my hand on her cheek. I hear coughing beside me; the first couple are out through a coughing fit. Is that her tongue in my mouth?! Oh my god what do I do? I slip my tongue into her mouth, it’s so warm, who knew B could be so passionate. I wonder what she’s thinking right now…

Buffy's POV

Faith and I stand next to each other in a little blocked off booth there’s about 4 other best friend couples lined up to take part. I just hope it’s over soon I don’t want to get too carried away, something I may regret. She’s staring at me; she looks so pretty, I hope I don’t enjoy it too much I look away.
“Sorry just nervous” she says pitifully, what does she have to be nervous about; I mean it’s not like a few bags of marshmallows will missed if we don’t win.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s just for fun, just for marshmallows…” I feel like giggling at her but if she is nervous it might break her. I try not to look at her, I stare across the crowd watching people passing by some are waiting for the contest to start.
“On the sound of the whistle you start kissing and whoever lasts the longest wins the prize!” the judge speaks into his microphone, I turn around to Faith and take a deep breath as I wait for the whistle, the crowd quietens or maybe it’s just me, I look into her dark brown eyes and hear the whistle, I move my head closer to her and close my eyes as our lips meet, it feels different, well of course it’s different it’s a girl. Her lips are so full and soft; I open my mouth slightly as the kiss gets more passionate I place my hand on her arm to steady myself, I feel her move she moves her hand on my cheek. It feels weird but nice weird. The couple next to us are out of the contest after one of them has a coughing fit. Thinking about it I want Faith to win, it’s not often she gets to feel good about something, plus it’s pretty enjoyable. Should I use my tongue? I dart it in and she responds immediately moving hers against mine, she’s such a good kisser.

Faith's POV

I so want to squeeze her soft breasts in my hand, but not only would Buffy be freaked so would the people watching, I control myself and place my other hand my side feeling the leather of my skirt, her hand moves down and she works it into the shape of mine, we hold hands, our eyes are still closed, two more couples leave, they just cant hack it. We’re in the final two, the marshmallows are almost mine! Our lips collide together, all moist and soft, B squeezes mine hand and I rub her cheek with my hand. I want to know how the other couple are doing, are they close to finishing, it doesn’t matter much I could go on kissing Buffy forever. I kiss her hard on the mouth forgetting everything around me, it’s as if we’re the only two here, there’s silence all around. I keep kissing and kissing her, tasting her on my lips, her unique sweetness.
“Faith…?” She pulls back. I stare at her angrily why has she pulled away for, we were winning.
“What are you doing!?” I ask nastily.
“It’s over?” she says.
“Well now it is” I look away and fold my arms. She places her hand on my arm.
“We won Faith” She says quietly. At first I don’t understand but then I realise and start jumping up and down.
“We won we won!!” I scream, Buffy smiles and hugs me. I run over to the judge.
“So what do you want? The $500 or the marshmallows?” he asks chuckling, everyone laughs too.
“The marshmallows!!” I say excitedly, everyone goes silent, what’s the big deal?
“The marshmallows?” he asks, I look at Buffy who has stepped back a bit.
“Yeah…?” I confirm and wait for him to give me them. The judge looks at me and shrugs his shoulders. They bring me two large bags of marshmallows.
“I get the feeling these won’t last me a lifetime” I complain but get dragged away by Buffy.
“They’re enough Faith” she tells me.
“Probably won’t last me the night” I whisper angrily. Buffy walks ahead of me, I wonder if the kissing has affected us.

Buffy's POV

I continue to kiss her, I move my hand down and brush against her thighs feeling her leather skirt, I hold her hand and squeeze gentle, it spurs her on and she kisses me hard on the mouth. With only two couples left it seems she might win, I kiss her back massaging my tongue against hers, her hand squeezes my cheek, I get that weird feeling again, what does it mean? I wonder if it’s nearly over, I’m not complaining, but all these feelings are freaking me out. I here a whistle and a man shout. I open my eyes and look and the other couple are out, I pull back from Faith, I look at her and she hasn’t realised.
“Faith…?” I whisper.
“What are you doing?!” She asks me angrily, she must think I’ve ruined it.
“It’s over?” I tell her nodding my head.
“Well now it is” She looks away upset and folds her arms. I giggle and pat her arm.
“We won Faith” I whisper to her. She looks confused at first but a few moments and she starts jumping up and down excitedly. I smile at her, I’m glad she won.
“We won we won!!” She screams happily, I move over and give her a hug and let her run over to the judge.
“So what do you want? The $500 or the marshmallows?” he asks chuckling, everyone laughs too. I hope to god she asks for the money.
“The marshmallows!!” she tells him excitedly, the smile shifts from his face I’m so embarrassed I step away from her.
“The marshmallows?” he asks her, I know what he’s thinking, is she for real. She looks at me confused but I try not to make eye contact
“Yeah…?” She confirms that she wants the marshmallows; the judge shrugs his shoulders and brings her two large bags of marshmallows.
“I get the feeling these won’t last me a lifetime” she says disappointedly, it’s true they really didn’t know Faith.
“They’re enough Faith” I tell her to try and drag her away from it.
“Probably won’t last me the night” she whispers under her breath. I walk ahead of her as she mumbles about the marshmallows. I wonder how she feels about us kissing, I wonder if it’s changed anything.
