Disclaimers: Joss,
Mutant etc own them. Not me.
Comments: I went
to Vegas in May and had such a ball I thought I'd send B and Faith there.
Thanks: Pebblin;
BetaSupreme, Star; MadSmokerBabe, M; JustPlainInsane and Gina and Louise for
putting a purple PVC clad rack, on the cover of their new single. Made me
laugh so hard.
Slayers Do Las Vegas V- Flirting Can Seriously
Enhance Your Libido
'Slow down, will ya!'
B's like a little kid in a candy store.
Rushing round, putting quarters in as many the slots as she can manage.
Then losing it all 'cause she won't chill and look for the right machine.
'Stop raining on my parade! This is
so much fun!'
She drops a dollar this time and after she's lost that to, I drag her out
of the slot 'pit'.
'Come on, I gotta eat something. You
know what I'm like, hungry or hor... '
She slaps a warm hand over my mouth
before I can finish my sentence.
She's grinning though, and it's real nice to see.
Don't get a lot of smile-time in SunnyHell.
Makes her look... I don't know, kinda more Buffy.
Like the way she should look.
No frowns, no 'we're all gonna die tomorrow' looks, just happy.
I'm glad she came.
I know, I know, I was all 'I need to get away from her!'
But this is better, I'll just, I don't know, keep my hands in my pockets or
something.
Hang on, that's probably not much better either.
Her hand's off me now, and I miss
it.
She's got a way of touching me.
Well, it's not really a 'way'.
They all feel the same, touches, slaps, punches.
All zing quickly southwards.
We've made it outside now, it's like
a weird kinda daylight, what with the Casino displays and all.
'What do you fancy then Faith?'
'You B! Don't you listen to my innuendo
laced sentences?'
'I mean to eat! NO! Don't say it,
just keep it in your pants!'
She laughs, hooks an arm through mine, and we jaywalk over to TacoBell.
'I know it's full of crap B, but I
love the food!'
I do!
Yeah, yeah, clog my arteries; whatever.
Like I'm gonna live to a ripe old age anyway.
'We're on a Slayer holiday, we can
eat whatever we want.'
She's right, we can.
Of course I can't let that sentence go with out wiggling my eyebrow at her.
I get a roll of her eyes and a pinch.
Better than nothing though.
'God, are you ever going to stop flirting
with me, Faith?'
She looks into my eyes, they're smiling at me.
She's got real pretty eyes.
Then, for a second, just a little second, they flash something else.
Can't figure out what it was, but it made my breath catch.
There's that wishful thinking again, Faith.
Gotta stop it, one way street to getting stomped on.
'Stop flirting with you? B, I'm using
my tried and tested 'wear them down 'til they give in' method. Don't tell
me it ain't working? I can't rely on my personality, I'll never get laid!'
Again.
That flash, makes her eyes darker.
Nah, maybe it's just the neon's everywhere.
Her smile drops a little, just slightly,
but still...
Uh-oh, serious sentence coming up.
B's like a well thumbed book to me.
Can tell what chapters coming next, most of the time.
'I think you can rely on your personality,
Faith. I wouldn't be here if...'
Some idiot pushes past us to get into
the food joint, stopping B, mid sentence.
FUCK!
The moments gone.
Disappeared, along with that look in her eyes.
'Lets get you fed and watered, Miss
Knight!'
'Hey, you make me sound like a horse!?'
'If the saddle fits...'
I smile and drag her into the restaurant.
My stomach growls loudly, reminding me that it's empty as hell.
'You got a tiger in there, Faith?'
'Where? In here?'
I can't help it.
I point to my pants and B busts up laughing.
Yeah, childish, but you gotta get those laughs somehow.
I'm beginning to like this me and
B deal.
May be hard, but I'm Faith The Vampire Slayer.
I can deal with it, right?
Well, time will tell with THAT I guess.
And, for now, time's what we've got plenty of.
