Tara finishes the last question on her final, flipping it to the beginning to start double-checking her answers when she gets this barely there feeling of unease and confusion coming from Buffy. Frowning heavily, Tara looks up at the clock. Forgoing double-checking her answers, she clicks her pen, grabs her purse and trots down the steps hurriedly, ignoring the looks she receives from her classmates. Smiling at the Professor as she places her test paper on the desk, she hurries out of the room and down the hall towards the exit and the parking lot.
***
Buffy finishes washing the dishes from breakfast, smiling at the fact today was Friday, and Tara was finishing her last final and would officially be done with school, short of graduation in two weeks.
Whistling happily, Buffy strides through the house looking to see if anything needs to be cleaned or washed before trotting up the stairs to grab the hampers to start working on laundry as she thinks about the past five days and the fact she and Tara had impossibly become even closer. The feeling of rightness of being with the woman unbelievable, even as her own anger and pain from coming back was gone. Though there were still twinges of sadness and longing for the happiness she had felt while being in heaven, but Tara�s loving her was more than recompense for the loss of those feelings. Tilting her head, Buffy silently wonders if there is lovemaking in heaven, blushing lightly at the thought. �Hope so. Also hope that they�ll let me and Tara hook-up, up above. Damn woman means the world to me.� Buffy murmurs as she carries the dirty clothes down the stairs. �Before my heaven was just having peace, which is what I had. Now I want something a heck of a lot better.�
***
The morning gone, and the afternoon starting, having just finished the laundry, Buffy steps outside with a glass of lemonade. Settling on the porch swing, she looks out at the afternoon sky. Deciding to wait for Tara to come home, knowing her lover said it would probably be somewhere between one and two, knowing she�ll have at least an hour to wait, Buffy sips on her lemonade and rocks back and forth.
Tucking her leg under her, Buffy sets the empty glass on the small table to the side of the swing. Frowning as she hears a high powered engine coming down the street, she turns her gaze on the large black SUV making its way down Revello Drive. Surprised as it slows down and pulls into her driveway, Buffy stiffens and her eyes narrow feeling a sense of unease working through her. Untucking her leg, she slowly stands and stares in stunned shock as Riley Finn steps out of the vehicle on the driver�s side, talking to someone still in the darkened vehicle before turning to stride towards her.
Buffy unconsciously crosses her arms over her chest in a defensive gesture as she looks at the man she had at one time considered spending her life with. Surprised and shocked as he comes to stand in front of her a small smile on his boyishly good-looking face, Buffy�s confused as she feels the ache of what might have been working through her. Shaking her head at the thought she quirks her eyebrow to stare at Riley. �I would ask what you�re doing here, but considering the get-up, I would assume it isn�t good.�
Riley�s smile slowly falls from his face and he shakes his head. �No, but I thought we might be able to talk while I�m here.� Riley offers, looking over his ex-girlfriend, taking in the changes of the past year, frowning slightly as he sees the light scar trailing down her face wondering what might have caused it.
Buffy shifts slightly as Riley looks over her. �What�s the sitch?�
Riley runs a hand through his hair and looks back at the SUV with the other four commandos in it. �We�re hunting a Suvolte Demon that�s somewhere here on the Hellmouth. I thought it would be best to talk with you and let you know what was going on, plus to see if you would want to be in on the hunt. She�s about ready to lay her eggs, if she hasn�t already.�
�Suvolte Demon?� Buffy questions curiously, frowning as she doesn�t remember that particular demon, though with all the different demons she�s fought over the years, and her lack of caring what they were she could have killed fifty of them and still not known their name.
�They�re literally eating machines when they hatch. They�ll take over Sunnydale in a day and before a month is out, the whole United States would probably be nothing but empty buildings and countryside.� Riley explains quickly, looking over Buffy having to admit she looks damn good, even with the scar. �You�re still beautiful.� He murmurs, his eyes widening at his admittance.
Buffy frowns and shifts uncomfortably at his words, not knowing what to say. Admitting she still feels an undeniable attraction to the young man, after all he is definitely good looking, but smiling blue eyes and a crooked, sexy grin sets her pulse racing and her heart thundering in her chest. �Who�s in the SUV?�
�The rest of my group.� Riley mutters, frowning at her lack of comment to his admittance. �Look. My reasons for coming here were two-fold, Buffy. They�ll be okay out in the vehicle. They know I want to speak with you alone. Can we maybe continue this inside?� Riley tilts his head towards the door, silently pleading with Buffy to hear him out.
Buffy stares at Riley for a minute, before finally nodding her head and leading the way into the house, silently wondering what�s going on.
***
Tara pulls up in front of the house, parking on the street as she looks at the large black Hummer. Worried, she hurries out of the vehicle and up to the house, striding through she looks into the living room before turning towards the kitchen, staring in stunned silence at Riley Finn sitting at the island in the kitchen.
�Tara, we have company.� Buffy murmurs, hearing her lover come to a stop in the dining room and feeling the major sense of unease and worry coming from her. Turning her gaze back on Riley, she continues to think about what he just said, already knowing the answer to his question but trying to figure out why he�s just now coming to ask her. �It took you a year to come and ask me this?�
Riley swallows hard and looks down at the counter, slowly nodding his head. �The more time I spent away from you the more I realized how much I loved you. I know you won�t leave the Hellmouth, but my rotation in the Forces is up in six months if I don�t re-up. I wanted to know if you�ll marry me.�
Tara feels her heart stop in her chest as she hears the heartfelt words coming from the young man, her eyes jerking over to Buffy, just feeling a sense of calmness coming from her lover, she doesn�t know what to do or say. Her heart pounding in her chest as she silently wonders if this is it. If Buffy might decide to marry the young soldier, even with knowing how much she loves her.
Buffy feels the worry and fear coming from Tara. Turning to look at her lover, she sighs quietly, realizing that Tara doesn�t know what her answer is, and obviously is extremely worried about the outcome of the young man�s words. �Tara�� Buffy whispers, holding her hand out. Seeing the confusion in blue eyes and feeling the indecision as to whether to come to her or run the other way, Buffy shakes her head. �Please.� Buffy wiggles her fingers.
Tara swallows hard and slowly finishes entering the kitchen, not daring to look at Riley as she slides her hand into Buffy�s, surprised when Buffy shifts in the seat and lifts her to settle on her lap, wrapping her arms tightly around her.
�Riley, at one time I wanted that more than anything. But times have changed, and so have I. I�ve died in the time you�ve been gone, only to be resurrected four months later. I do care for you, and probably always will. But I don�t think� No, I know you probably won�t understand. I�ve fallen in love with Tara. She makes me happier than I have ever dreamed possible. Hell, even when we argue and fight a part of me revels in the love I feel coming from her when it�s happening. Because she does love me. Me and my faults, she also understands what it is for me to be the slayer. And how I can�t just work nine to five and put my stake down to have a normal life afterwards.� Buffy explains quietly, her eyes on the shocked man�s face as his eyes flicker between her and Tara, smiling as she feels Tara relax to the point of practically melting into her body. Pressing a kiss on Tara�s cheek as she turns slightly towards her, Buffy chuckles. �How could you ever be worried?�
�I didn�t feel anything but calmness from you after your original worry, unease and confusion.� Tara admits, shifting to sit sideways and bury her face in Buffy�s neck as her lover strokes softly over her back.
�Sorry.� Buffy whispers pressing her lips to Tara�s forehead. �Riley, I�m sorry but my answer is obviously no. But if you want mine and Tara�s help in hunting out the demon, we will definitely help you.� Buffy offers quietly.
Riley�s mouth opens and shuts as he looks from Tara to Buffy and back again. Feeling a sense of frustration and anger shoot through him, he questions roughly. �When the hell did this happen and what about Willow?�
Buffy growls softly at Riley even as Tara answers him.
�Willow and I broke up over four months ago. Buffy and I have been working on a relationship for the last�� Tara looks questioningly at Buffy. �Three months?� At her lover�s agreeing nod, she grins crookedly at her. �Three months ago. It�s been a slow, but very intense process, and I love her completely.� Tara warns softly, her eyes darkening in warning as she stares at Riley. �If you say or do anything to hurt her either physically or emotionally, I will have your ass.�
Buffy smirks and buries her face against Tara�s shoulder as she tries to quell the laughter coming up. The woman�s possessiveness and caring for her only becoming worse the last few days after the whole mark thing. Having to admit in a way she feels extremely happy and pleased with it, and silently admitting to herself that she�s becoming more possessive of the Wiccan as time progresses, even more so than she had been.
Riley leans back away from Tara, surprised at the forcefulness of the blonde, totally different from the shy, quiet woman he remembered. Turning his gaze on Buffy, he watches as she grins even as quiet laughter bubbles from her lips.
�Don�t piss her off, Riley. Even the demons have learned that they will have an even shorter lifespan if they piss her off than they do with me. And her way of taking them out is usually a lot more painful than mine.� Buffy warns seriously, though her eyes twinkle merrily. �Can you do a tracking spell on a particular demon?� Buffy questions curiously.
Tara nods her head as she looks at her lover. �If I have something personal from it, I can. If not, I can just do a generic tracer that will show us where the majority of the demons are throughout Sunnydale that don�t have a magical blocker.�
Riley sighs heavily before putting thoughts of him and Buffy being together out of his mind to sort through later. The soldier in him insisting on taking care of the threat first, and personal business later now that there was obviously no chance for them. �We were hoping Willow might be able to do a spell, and I remembered that she needed something of the demons. So I have part of a tooth out in the SUV.�
�Willow isn�t doing any magic.� Buffy answers softly, at his curious and surprised look, Buffy shrugs. �She was out of control. Or maybe I should say the magic was in control and not her. She did some things that came back to bite her in the ass.� Buffy hugs Tara tightly at feeling the quick streak of pain coming from her. �Sorry, love.�
�Not your fault.� Tara whispers, slowly relaxing again. �She�s heading to a Coven to try and get control of the magic, or at least learn to drain the magic from her body as needed.�
Riley nods slightly, though not really understanding. �We�ve heard from our contacts in town that someone calling himself �The Doctor� is dealing with the demon. I�m afraid it might have already laid the eggs, so the sooner we get started�� Riley stands looking at the two women.
�I have what we need to do the spell.� Tara answers the unasked question in Buffy�s eyes.
�Good, I�ll go change. Are you going to come with, or�� Buffy lets Tara slide from her lap before standing and looking at her lover. Seeing the knowing crooked grin on Tara�s face, an answering grin crosses hers. �Stupid question, huh?�
�Slayer moment.� Tara chuckles at the scowl she gets in response to her answer.
�You�ll pay for that later.� Buffy grumbles before looking at Riley. �Go get the piece. The rest of the group is welcome to come in if you want. Game plan making time and all that.� Buffy waves her hand watching her ex-lover nod his head sharply and head out of the kitchen. Sighing as she feels arms wrap around her waist.
Tara hooks her chin over Buffy�s shoulder and presses a kiss to her cheek. �I�m sorry, honey. Insecurity and jealousies rearing their ugly heads.�
�I say we have some things to work through still. But we will, and we�ll be all the stronger for it, right?� Buffy smiles as Tara nods and nips gently at her ear. �I do love you, Tara. I�ve fallen in love with you and I wouldn�t trade being with you for anything in the world.�
�Goddess, I am so in love with you.� Tara answers as Buffy turns in her arms and kisses her lovingly.
Buffy eases back after a few moments, hearing Riley and some other people coming back into the house. �Good thing, don�t wanna see what an angry unloved slayer is like. Not a pretty sight!�
Tara chuckles as Buffy heads out of the room. �So not gonna happen.� Tara smiles as she hears the quiet laughter come from her lover. Shaking her head at the realization that she needs to get her supplies, she trots up the stairs after the slayer, ignoring the testosterone moving around in the living room.
�Yo, Riley. Who was that hottie?� Jason questions Riley, his eyes following Tara up the stairs.
�Don�t even.� Riley growls roughly shaking his head at the young demon fighter. Fighting the anger and pain he�s feeling at being turned down for the woman. Not understanding what Buffy sees in the blonde, but knowing that there�s nothing he can do about it.
***
�Want to get in a quickie?� Buffy teases as Tara shuts the door behind her as she slowly strips her clothes off and wiggles her eyebrows at her lover.
�When have we ever had a �quickie�?� Tara smirks at her lover�s teasing. Heading over to the closet, Tara pulls down one of her pair of cargo pants. Tossing them onto the bed, she heads to the dresser, chuckling as Buffy smacks her gently on the ass.
�Don�t think you know the meaning of a quickie.� Buffy chuckles as she grabs clothes out of the closet, smirking at the red leather pants and the black t-shirt she pulled out, hearing the groan coming from her lover, knowing from past comments that Tara really, really likes her in the pants.
�Haven�t heard you complain, yet.� Tara strangles out, knowing she�s going to make Buffy pay for wearing those pants, now that they were lovers. Then she groans as she realizes they�re going to have company out on the search mission tonight.
Buffy smirks at the feelings she�s getting from Tara, along with the disgust and irritation as it occurs to her that they weren�t going to be alone.
�Want me to call Xander or Willow to see if they would mind either staying with Dawnie tonight, or having her come and stay with them?� Tara questions as she starts to think about the teen while she changes quickly and grabs the items she�ll need for the spell.
�See if Xander would mind coming by and getting her. I think Willow and Amy were planning on heading out after her finals.� Buffy offers softly, pulling the leather pants up and tucking the shirt in.
Tara nods, glancing over at Buffy, grinning at the sight of the tight red leather pants. �Turning me on, and teasing the natives� lethal combination.� Tara comments curling her lip up in a half smile.
Buffy groans as Tara grins that sexy half-grin that never fails to turn her on. �Make sure you get weapons, just in case.� Buffy warns even as she grabs a bag down, quickly tossing in stakes, a short sword, a couple knives, her crossbow along with extra bolts and a few other odds and ends.
Tara watches as Buffy tosses items into the bag. �I think you have us both covered, but I�ll take one of the knives and a couple stakes, just in case.� Tara accepts the items from Buffy, tucking them away in her pockets before quickly hurrying out of the room to take care of calling Xander.
***
�Thanks, Xan.� Buffy smiles at her best friend as he grabs Dawn�s bag.
�No prob. Come on, Dawnmeister. We have the Movie Depot and the Pizza place to hit.� Xander winks at the teenager.
Dawn grins at Xander. �Only if I get to pick the movies.� Dawn smirks as Xander groans and rolls his eyes, but nods his head. Turning to look at Buffy and Tara she stares worriedly at them before her eyes glance over to the huddling Commando�s. �You two better be careful. Dad is planning on picking me up next week, and I�d like to spend some time with you guys before then. With both of you all together, not in pieces.� Dawn warns, staring a little harder at her sister, as she was still upset about finding out what had happened when she�d freaked, the two women not being able to hide the slayer�s wounds.
Buffy narrows her gaze on the quietly chuckling Wiccan before turning and nodding at her sister. �We�ll be on our best behavior.� Buffy leans in conspiratorially towards her sister. �We have all the big, strong men to take care of us puny little girls.�
Tara snorts back a laugh as Dawn groans and rolls her eyes. �We�ll be careful, Dawnie. I promise we won�t do anything purposefully dangerous.� Tara narrows her gaze on Buffy this time, the warning silent but serious.
�Love you.� Buffy smiles hopefully at her lover.
�I love you, too but that doesn�t mean that you aren�t going to be extra careful.� Tara growls, before hugging Dawn tightly and watching the teen hug her sister, smiling at the unreserved hug, happy to see how much the two Summers� were getting along lately.
�If you need me�� Xander starts and looks at the two women and then the men, shaking his head. �Never mind. Just call if you need us, or if anything happens.�
�Thanks, Xander.� Tara smiles softly at the young man, having to admit he�d come around relatively quickly to her and Buffy being a couple, though he had received a couple growls from Buffy at some of the more �risqu� comments that he�d made.
�Anytime.� Xander winks at the two women before striding out of the house, followed closely by Dawn already rambling on about what movies she wants to rent, making Xander groan loudly.
�He�s really a sweet guy.� Tara comments, tilting her head at the thought. �I�m kind of surprised you or Willow never actually ended up with him.�
Buffy grunts softly, before frowning as she wonders if Tara knows about the �fluke�. �Did you hear about the little dress-fluke in high school?�
Tara chuckles and looks at Buffy, nodding her head. �Though I think Willow downplayed it a bit, not wanting to make me jealous.�
�We�ll discuss that later.� Buffy smirks and wiggles her eyebrows. �Have all kinds of dirt on Xander, if you haven�t already heard about the majority of it.�
�Probably haven�t. Usually Willow didn�t talk about your guys� high school exploits unless something came up to trigger a ramble fest.� Tara sighs quietly as she glances down at the map and the tooth. �Let me do the spell so we can get started.�
Buffy gently squeezes Tara�s waist and softly kisses her cheek. �Thank you for your help.�
�I�ll always help you, no matter what. That�s a promise.� Tara brushes her thumb gently over Buffy�s cheek, lovingly tracing her scar before shaking her head. �Spell.�
Buffy chuckles and watches as Tara prepares for the spell before looking over at the commando�s, rolling her eyes at the differing degrees of lust and disgust showing, Riley�s clenched jaw a dead giveaway to his anger. �Children.� Buffy mumbles loud enough for the men to hear before heading into the kitchen to get something to drink, deciding to ignore the guys for the time being.
