Summary: Tara was there for Buffy, and always will be…
Note: Alternate way for that scene at the end of "Dead Things"… you know the one.

Buffy was still not sure what possessed her into kissing Tara.

She was crying her heart out, and while the other girl looked kinda awkward about it at first, she quickly recovered to comfort her… she was there for her when others weren't, when Willow was too consumed with magic and Amy, when Xander was too busy with his wedding plans, when Giles had fled to England… Tara was there for her, and in the moment, Buffy seeked comfort not only in her words, but in her lips.

Tara was a bit uncomfortable with it, and when their lips parted she looked away, embarrassed. But she hadn't let go of Buffy's hand; in fact, she held her tighter. With her free hand, the witch wiped the remaining tear in Buffy's cheek and smiled at her.

"I'tll be okay Buffy, I promise…"

Buffy tried to smile back, but she was unable to do so and buried her face on Tara's lap, crying once again. Tara stroked her hair… it probably wouldn't be okay just like that, but even so, she would be there for her.

That was what the Scoobies did for each other, right?
