The ruins of Sunnydale High weren’t the first place Willow imagined when she thought of where to spend a romantic evening with her girl. In fact, she was far more apt to stick to the old dating clichés: picnic in the park, dinner and a movie, or catching a concert at the Bronze.
But Tara had never been like that. She had always been the dreamer between them, the one that could turn a nightmare on its head with the sweetness of her smile.
Willow still remembered the night Tara had dragged her back to the laundry room where they had once huddled close, sharing in their fear. The vending machine was still there, decorated with war wounds from its brief usage in the battle against the Gentlemen. The night they came back to that spot, Tara had shown her light in the darkness.
Literally.
That night, Tara had taught her Fiat Lux, Version 1.0, and Willow had watched in awe as a tiny Tinkerbell-esque light illuminated Tara’s pale skin, making her glow with a beauty unmatched by any other.
So it really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to her when Tara vanished through an opening in the charred wall of the old school where Willow had learned the meaning of terror and started clearing out a spot among the debris.
“Uh....” Willow started, a frown curling her lips as she scanned the room. “Riley’s not in here, baby. And Buffy was seriously adamant about us finding him before he, you know….”
Dies of a heart attack.
There was no way she could finish the thought out loud for fear that it would actually come true. She liked Riley, even if he was being a little dumb about his health right now.
“We’ll find him in a minute,” Tara replied softly, reaching forward to grab Willow’s hand. “Or Xander and Anya will…or Buffy will….”
Willow nodded, finding it difficult to say no as she allowed Tara to pull her in close, as she allowed Tara’s lips to brush against hers.
That was when the magic started to happen.
She could feel a summer breeze blow against her cheek, warm as a whisper in her ear. She could hear the birds rustling in the leaves.
Picnic in the park
Tara’s tongue tickled her lips, seeking entrance, and Willow sucked it inside her mouth as if it were a fresh raspberry.
As Tara’s hand found the small of her back, Willow felt her breath hitch as the mood changed. This time, Tara tasted like pasta soaked in marinara and parmesan and warmth spread through to her fingers and toes as if she had taken a sip of cherry wine.
Although Willow noted the lack of a movie, she was too caught up in Tara’s steady caresses, too immersed in the fantasy Tara was creating with a spell so ancient that it couldn’t be found in any Wiccan textbook.
“Tara,” Willow moaned, arching her spine as Tara’s fingers brushed over her tail bone, instantly heating up her core.
“One more,” Tara replied. This time, her lips moved, trailing kisses across Willow’s cheek, jaw line, and down her neck. The tempo of the kisses moved effortlessly between staccato and legato (a term Oz had taught her.) But this wasn’t a Dingoes show. This was the Tara show and the melody was one Willow never wanted to hear end.
Lucky for her, Tara was far from finished.
As for Riley, he would be just fine. In fact, Buffy had probably found him already, the way all doofuses in love are prone to do…
…with a flashlight.
