[BTVS] Old Friends - Torment, FR13, Buffy/Faith
Title: Torment
Author: aaronlisa
Rating: FR13
Pairing/Characters: Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and company.
Prompts: femslash50 - #25 (fall)
Notes: Set during an AU Season Three, follows Two Weeks.
Summary: Faith finds herself falling for Buffy all over again.
Against her better judgment, Faith has allowed herself to be friends with Buffy again. It’s not like before, nothing could ever be like before. Even if two years hadn’t gone by, they’ve changed. They’re no longer the immature girls they once were. Instead they’re both Slayers now and they’ve grown up. Yet they’ve become friends over the research to find out what the Mayor’s doing, the slaying of vampires and demons, and the nights spent at the Bronze with the others.
Somehow it seems easier to be friendly than to be always hostile towards Buffy. And somehow as the days and nights bleed into one another, Faith starts to feel the same feelings that she felt before everything went wrong in LA. It doesn’t matter how many times she tells her self that Buffy’s wrong for her since she’s already betrayed her trust once. And it doesn’t matter how many times she sees Buffy pining away for Angel, Faith is still falling in love with her all over again.
It makes their easygoing friendship harder for Faith to deal with. Ever since their conversation outside of the school, they’ve been both trying to put the past behind them. They can’t be fighting one another if they’re supposed to be fighting some crazy Mayor who wants to become a demon. But with Faith falling for Buffy, she can’t pretend to be okay with just being friends. She’s older now and she wants it all. If she can’t have Buffy the way she wants her, then she doesn’t want to torment herself by being around Buffy all the time. Even if she does have a job to do.
