They heard the music thumping from a block away. That was about where the line to get in the door also started. The driving bas beat, the ample amount of tequila and just the mere presence of Buffy walking next to her had Faith’s heart pounding against her ribs.
“Come on B” She grinned and cut her eyes at the other slayer, quickening her pace to bypass the long line of people hoping to get in. She didn’t even try to play this cool, didn’t try to hide her excitement.
This was shaping up to be the most perfect night of her life. Her favorite holiday, killer party and B as her date. Well… maybe not exactly ‘date’, but it sure as fuck felt that way… with the way the other slayer kept looking at her, grinning with those flashing eyes, it made her almost painfully aware of every nerve in her body.
It all felt sharper, clearer… it all just felt like MORE. It left Faith wondering how much ‘more’ this night would be.
“So are we meeting up with your guy? He gonna let us in?” But she had to stop a second, had to turn and face the sudden, unexpected chill of B’s voice.
Where the fuck had that come from? What was with the sudden shift in mood?
The entire walk over to the wherehouse district had been spent in a flurry of laughter and slightly drunken amusement. Faith was sure B had been having a good time, taking her jokes with a sense of humor and even flirting back just a little. There had even been this one moment, this one perfect instant when Buffy had actually taken her hand as they walked along the alley. Some rowdy trick-or-treaters had run past them, forcing them to separate and neither one had the nerve to make a second attempt.
But just those few moments had been enough for Faith…
Now, all that had shifted somehow, B looked like she was ready to kick her ass, and Faith for the life of her couldn’t figure out why.
“Umm yeah, Presto’s one of the guys hosting. He said he’d wait outside for us.” Buffy gave a snort and rolled her eyes, refusing again to look.
“B, what’s the problem?” Faith had ventured to take a step closer, doing her damn best to keep her own eyes focused on the other girl’s face… it was hard considering that outfit. “Is everything cool? You’re wicked tense all of a sudden.”
She heard a sigh come from B, and couldn’t help but grin she took a step to close some of the distance between them as well. “I’m fine, really…”
But she didn’t sound fine. Faith watched as Buffy’s eyes made yet another trip over her form…she wasn’t even trying to hide it!! Either the tequila had completely taken over B’s reservations or something else was going on here…
“Let’s just go inside OK?”
“Sure B… whatever you want.” Yeah Faith knew what she said, and it had exact effect she had hoped for. B’s eyes were back on her own… and the blond looked like she was about to say… something, anything. Her eyes were so intense Faith could feel them reaching into her…pulling, as if they were attempting to speak what her voice was so afraid to. B opened her moth to speak, but what came out was the last thing Faith was expecting.
“Look, there’s Will and Oz!” B pointed and quickly scurried past her, that tiny skirt bouncing all over the place.
What the Fuck?!
Faith sighed, quickly pulling herself out of that moment of wishful thinking and followed the other slayer to where her friends stood.
Willow was dressed as a highway patrol cop, Oz in the classic black and white striped prison uniform. He even had a little plastic ball and chain on his foot. It was kinda cute.
“Hey guys great costumes!” B said a bit loudly and Faith had to bite the inside of her cheek to hold back the peals of laughter that were threatening to break through when Red turned to face them. The poor girl’s eyes were about two seconds from rolling around on the concrete.
“Buffy! You…you. I- thought…. That is NOT a classic fairy tale character!!”
“Sure it is Will I’m little red riding hood! See!” B held out her basket, as some kind of defense, but she was doing that naughty, teasing pout thing again too.
Christ she couldn’t take it!
It was at that point Faith thought it best to locate her friend. It didn’t seem like she would be missed anyways. Not like that wasn’t the norm or anything.
She found Presto slumped against the brick wall about 20 feet away… he had a giant meat hook protruding from his chest and a cigarette dangling from his lip.
“You sick fucker!” Faith smiled as she approached the man with dark hair and eyes. The side of his face was bloody as well.
“Ah you know me Spensah! The blood and gore works somethin’ wicked on the honeys!” He grinned, and rose one slightly bushy eye brow, setting his rugged features into what Faith knew was his best ‘seduction pose’.
Faith burst into laughter.
“Bitch! It ain’t workin’ for yah?!” Presto threw his hands up dramatically, and the dark slayer just shook her head. It was so fuckin’ good to see this guy again, it had been way too long since she had a good memory of Boston. James ‘Presto’ Gallavani was one of her best. She knew him when things were good, when they were bad, and when they got even worse. Every Halloween since she was eight they would stir things up around the block. Even after she was called they still found ways to get into trouble together… it only ending when Faith had to make her first escape to Sunnydale.
Faith grabbed him by the face and kissed him quick and hard on the mouth. They both pulled away with knowing grins.
“You taste like cherries” She grinned as she licked the sticky ‘blood’ from her lips.
“Funny, Spensah! I remembah saying the same thing to you once!” The boy laughed and Faith found her self fighting off a blush. That had been a long assed time ago! No fair bringing those little incidents up!
“Shut ya face ass wipe!” She gave him a punch to the shoulder, loving the way he played it up, staggering back against the brick wall again.
“You still got those supah powers girl, better be gentle with me!” He made his eyebrows dance a little… she’d taught him that. Faith rolled her eyes and turned to look for the rest of her…or well, B’s gang.
Presto threw his arm across her shoulders, and it felt so familiar that Faith let him get away with it. She knew he was grinning like an idiot.
“So we goin in or what?” Faith had turned just in time to see Xander and Anya walk up to join the rest of the group. Xander had on fucking green tights and his girl was wearing some princess get up, but that wasn’t what had her attention.
Buffy’s eyes were on her again and this time they were boring in deep. Even from more than twenty feet away she could feel the tension, the absolute heat that was pouring off the other woman. But there was anger there too. That cold callous expression from minutes ago had not gone away.
“That her?” She felt her friend whisper in her ear and all she could do was nod.
Faith still didn’t have any answers.
What she did have, was a painful lump in her throat as she waved them over. Buffy was the last to move down the sidewalk. There eyes never losing the contact, B followed the 2 couples until they all stood together at the entry to the wherehouse-turned club.
“So!” Presto spoke up and Faith felt him give her a little hug. He must have sensed her mood shifting. “You guys ready for this?!”
Faith heard the gang give a chorus of “yeahs” but she was more focused on the fact that B didn’t even nod.
