Questionable past

"So, I always wanted to ask but, uhm, kinda was afraid to ask..." Buffy started after a lull in conversation.

"Shoot." Xander looked down at his friend.

"You and Faith. What, uh, what happened, um, between you?" Buffy chewed on her lower lip as she looked up at Xander.

"Oy." Xander stopped walking and carefully set the **** Giles down on the ground. He then sat down bext to Giles and looked up at Buffy and patted the ground beside him. "Pull up some grass, Buff."

Buffy carefully sat down, making sure to baby her hurt leg. She then looked expectantly at Xander, "Spill."

"Well, not exactly a huge story to tell, Buff. I'm driving around and found Faith getting the snot knocked out of her by the blue demon ladies. I ran over one of the blue demons with my car to help her out. She jumped in the convertible and we took off." Xander explained.

Buffy canted her head, "Huh, Faith kinda left that part out of her retelling."

"And what did Faith say?" Xander asked then ordered "Tell the truth. Leave nothing out. What did she say about me."

Buffy blew out a deep breath, "She said she took you back to her room. And since she was worked up and feeling horny decided to.... uh, show you around the curves, I think she said. And then you guys did what you did. She said you had a lot of, uh, raw talent and that you... touched places that hadn't ever been touched. And... and then it was over, Faith cut things short after you, um, rang the bell... cause blue demon lady apocalypse was going to happen soon so she had to get to school to defend the hellmouth."

"Well, that's not wrong it's just not the entire story." Xander agreed.

"Soooooo?" Buffy looked at him.

"We got back to Faith's room and first had to put her shoulder back in its socket because she had almost been killed by those blue demon ladies." Buffy winced. "And then there was a bit of awkward conversation as Faith decided that I was going to scratch her itch. Next thing I know I'm getting propositioned by a very sexy girl. And I'm not exactly being given a choice in saying no."

"Would you have?" Buffy pressed.

"I... I really don't know. Maybe. If I knew how it would end? But then and there, in the moment, i went along with it. Faith wanted to have sex. I wanted to have sex with Faith." Xander frowned. "We just came at it from two different view points. Faith came at it from a purely 'this feels good' point of view. I think. I came at it from the view point of two like minded people forming a connection and maybe starting a relationship..." Xander gave Buffy a weak smile, "I've come to find out that, uh, I was wrong about that."

Buffy winced again.

Xander shrugged. "So, yeah, Faith climbs on top and, uh, rides me like a rodeo, if you will, and I try my best to please her. Things seem to be going well, I think, the... uhm, faces made and noises made were... indicative of a good time."

Buffy laughed. "Faith didnt have a problem with your... bigness?"

Xander rolled his eyes, "Like I said there were faces made and noise made. Surprised at first when I dropped my pants but very happy and excited after... after insertion. And a big Hollywood Meg Ryan style sex scene finish with the vocals and the faces being made."

Xander shrugged sheepisly. "And so, like you said, I rung Faith's bell." He ran a hand through his hair, "Next thing I know I'm being thrown out. I barely have my boxers on and Faith is pushing me off the bed and out the door, shoving my clothes into my hands all the while."

Buffy winced for a third time.

"Part of me is confused by what just happened. Part if me is thrilled at what just happened." Xander explained. "And I got it, y'know, there was a big fight abrewing. So time was of the essence. Later, I kinda consoled myself that maybe if she was afraid of dying in that fight so Faith decided she wanted to spend her final free moments with me having a, uh, connection."

Buffy shook her head sadly.

"Yes. I figured that out." Xander griped. "Faith was just looking for the endorphin rush. She wasnt looking for a relationship."

"Sorry, Xand." Buffy put her hand on his forearm and gave him a squeeze.

He put his free hand overtop of Buffy's. "Thanks." He was silent a moment and then asked her, "You think Faith can come back from all this?"

Buffy bowed her head, "I.... I hope so."

"I think, any day now, Faith is going to realize her mistake. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. " Xander said. "She will come back to the light side."

"Uh... which part of you is doing your think, Xand? You or Captain Happy?" Buffy asked derisively, looking pointedly at his crotch. "She said you were good. She didnt say you were that good."

Xander snorted. "Hey, you kept hoping Angel would come back despite his soul no longer inhabiting his body. I'm allowed to hope that Faith, who still has her soul, will realize she made a mistake and rejoin us."

Buffy held up her hands in surrender.

Xander harrumphed, "We are just special, special people, aren't we Buff? Somehow we both loose our virginity to more sexually experienced people who almost immediately turn around and try and kill us."

Buffy gaped at him for a second and then let out a groan of pain.

"Yeah. Who else can say that?" Xander asked looking up at the stars.

Buffy flopped onto her back on the grass "That sucks so much. That it happened twice -Twice!- to our little group is depressing."

"Two peas in a pod, that's us. The butt monkey's of the universe." Xander nodded his head.
