Title: Circle
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Faith, Buffy
Prompt: 002- Aggravated
Rating: PG-13
Emotion: Aggravated
Spoilers: Set during season 3
Summary: Faith is getting aggravated with herself over her infatuation with a certain blonde...
Faith was sitting in a corner of the Bronze by herself on a Tuesday night, violently biting in a muffin. Why? Because she and Buffy had come here post-slay to grab a bite to eat and to work off the excess energy from the fight. Or, Faith was taking care of her hunger (well, for food) while the other slayer was out on the dance floor, taking care of the 'horny'. As much as she could without out-right cheating on her stupid un-dead boyfriend, anyway.
She took another angry bite of her muffin.
Faith had known that there'd be dancing, but she thought it would be between the two of them, not some random guy. Okay, so Faith took guys and, occasionally, women, home with her sometimes, but that was when Buffy was off with her friends. She had figured that tonight would be a Slayer-exclusive evening. She knew she wouldn't be lucky enough to get the blonde bombshell to sleep with her (although she did catch Buffy checking her out sometimes), but still... Faith was sitting in the dark corner while Buffy was in the spotlight, literally.
The guy behind her slid an arm around her middle and gyrated against her, and Faith felt her blood boil before shaking her head. Why did she care if some guy was all over Buffy? Why did she care that the other slayer noticed her at all? Yeah, they shared the same sacred calling, but they were by no means close. They were barely even friends, and they'd certainly never be lovers. So why did Faith want to march onto that dance floor and break the frat-boy's arm?
She was mulling over the envy that was twisting in her stomach, chewing thoughtfully, when Buffy looked in her direction, spotted her, and smiled brilliantly, waving for her to come over. Faith choked on her muffin, tried to save face with a bright smile of her own, and abandoned her muffin to practically run to join her, unable to keep an extra bounce in her step.
She was completely oblivious to the fact that she had literally dropped what she was doing for a chance to dance with the girl of her dreams.
All because of a smile.
