Please... ****** As they made their way across the campus,Tara giggled as Willow stopped for a moment and attempted her impression of her friend Xander as he performed the Snoopy dance;totally ignoring the askance looks she was gathering from the other students out walking this warm evening.As she stopped her disjointed movements,both girls sat down on the rim of a stone planter to gather their breath,their hands automatically seeking each other,their fingers intertwining."W-Willow?" "Mmhm?" Tara squeezed Willow's hand gently,looking into her eyes."Th-Thank you for this evening.I-I had fun." Willow gave her a perky grin."Me too!" "W-We..." She stopped as her stutter threatened to overwhelm her determination to get this out. 'Please! Goddess,help me.' Biting her bottom lip between her teeth,she took a deep breath,loving Willow even more as she waited patiently."There's something I need to say to you.Something we have to talk about." She ducked her head momentarily,the veil of her hair obscuring her face as she looked at their conjoined hands.Almost screaming,'No!',as Willow withdrew her fingers.
The feel of those same fingers,caressing her neck as they tucked her hair back behind her ear,brought her gaze up to meet Willow's again."I know.Do you want me to go first?"
Tara was shocked at what she saw in that look,the gentle curve of lips...
"Huh?"
"I need to say things to you too.Things that are going to change...well...things,between us..." Now it was Willow's turn to glance down nervously at her fingers which had moved to gather Tara's to her again."So,can I go first?"
Tara looked round at the other students who were still wandering back and forth across the grounds."Maybe we should go inside...Where it's more private?" She stood,keeping Willow's hand in hers as she led the way over to the doors of her building.Stopping at the soda machine just inside the student lounge,she got a couple of cans to replace the cold ones she was going to need from her small fridge.Once again,for some reason,her mouth suddenly felt dry,whilst her body felt as if she was running a temperature.Taking Willow's hand once more,she led the way up the stairs.Neither girl spoke.
Her hand shaking slightly,she managed to key the lock on her door,feeling along the wall inside till her fingers found the switch.The light from a small lamp on her dresser and the Christmas lights strung along the wall above her bed engendered a warm and welcoming glow in the room.Placing the cans in her fridge,she handed Willow a bottle of water and took a cold soda for herself.Moving to close the curtains over the window,she gestured to the bed."Sit..?"
Willow had laid her coat over the back of the chair at the dresser and now removed her shoes as she sat up on the bed,leaning against the wall,her legs curled under her.Waiting as Tara joined her on the bed and leant back against the headboard,she uncapped the bottle in her hands,taking a quick drink.Her swallow was loud in the quiet of the room.
"I..."
"Willow..."
They both giggled as their voices passed each other on the journey across the small space between them...
Tara placed her left hand on the leather-clad knee which was just within reach,a gentle pressure as she spoke."Y-You go f-first."
"Okay." Willow remained silent as she again tried to get her thoughts into an order that would make sense,or at the very least,come out in English when she opened her mouth.
Just about to speak,she...paused...'No! Nothing is going to spoil this.I'm not going to spazz!'
Sometimes she cursed herself for her self-knowledge,the fact that she knew,just knew,that when she began to speak all that would emerge would be a few inarticulate vowel sounds that would embarass her so much that she would jump off the bed,grab her coat and run out of Tara's dorm room (forgetting her shoes),down the stairs and out into the night,running as fast as she could until she made it back to her and Buffy's room...Just knew that she would not stop until she was in her own bed with the blankets pulled over her head,never to emerge...
So,she paused.
Willow Rosenberg was not,and had never been called,a fool.There had been few important events in her life that she was not aware of at the time they had been happening...
She knew something wonderful was happening when Xander Harris had stood up for her in kindergarten,and declared himself to be the breaker of yellow crayons...
She knew that when her parents forgot her 8th birthday that they did not love her...
In 10th grade,she knew something else,when a seemingly typical valley-girl persona by the name of Buffy Summers first acknowledged her existence,then started,and continued to speak to her...
This...something...had been reiterated when she had been going out with Oz...
Now,she was here,and totally aware that this moment,would alter everything forever...Everything rested on this moment,and she was not going to speak...
Removing Tara's soda from her hands she placed it beside her bottled water on the bedside table and looked into her eyes,pressing a finger across her lips when she made to speak again.Caressing the full bottom lip to the corner she cupped her cheek in her palm as she moved forward slowly,gazing into her eyes.Tara made no use of the time available to move away,instead she turned her head slightly to nuzzle the palm of Willow's hand,her eyes now lidded.With a gentle motion,Willow encouraged her to look at her again,moving across the short distance to place her lips against Tara's;her eyes closing unconsciously as she touched the soft flesh.It only lasted a moment,but she felt as if she had come home at last...
Moving back,she looked at Tara to gauge her reaction,watching as her eyes opened,the blue so deep now that they captured her utterly;unable to react as time stopped completely...
Neither knew who moved first,neither cared any longer as everything shifted...The Universe becoming aware that all things were changed from this moment forward...
There was no knowledge of who moaned as hands cupped the back of heads...As lips meshed again,at first gently,then more urgently as the kiss deepened.Lips parted and tongues touched for the first time,the jolt of feeling shocking them both to the tips of their toes.Parted momentarily by the sensation,there was no hesitation in again seeking out the feelings engendered by such intimate contact,exploring each other,sucking gently...
As their lips unlocked,Willow released a sigh.Leaning her forehead against Tara's,she felt her eyes open slowly as she tasted the breath that Tara let escape at the same time.Too close to focus on the features before her she revelled in the new sensations coursing through her as her hands tightened their hold on either side of Tara's body,her fingers hooking into claws as they pulled the taller girl into her own body...Floating backwards to pull the soft weight down on top of her as she sought out the touch of those lips again...
