[kiss_evilgoodbye]

Buffy: [and she was chatting with some of the slayers and smile when she sees him approach] Hey, you.

Peter: Hi. Having fun?

Buffy: Lots of fun. How about you?

Peter: Good. I survived your mother's inquisition.

Buffy: And all in one piece I see.

Peter: She even left the piece you like so much in tact.

Buffy: [she laughs] Very good.

Peter: She also answered a very important question for me.

Buffy: What's that?

Peter: I can't tell you.

Buffy: So you're just teasing me with it.

Peter: Yes. But one day I will tell you the answer. When the time is right.

Buffy: You know I'm not very good with the whole waiting thing.

Peter: Oh, I know. But today is not the day to tell you.

Buffy: [sighs] Is the day soon?

Peter: Maybe.

Buffy: I don't like maybes.

Peter: [leans in to kiss her] It's not going to be on the day of your sister's wedding.

Buffy: [sighs into the kiss] Fine, fine, it's Dawn's big day.

Peter: And you wouldn't want her to one up you if it was yours.

Buffy: No, I wouldn't. That is true.

Peter: Then you can wait and trust that when the day comes, it will be good.

Buffy: Don't take too long.

Peter: I will only take as long as it needs to take.

Buffy: Good.

Peter: So do you want to dance?

Buffy: I would love to.

Peter: [and he will lead her to the dance floor and where with Joyce he was proper, he's nice and close with Buffy in his dancing]

Buffy: [which she does not mind, and will lean in to rest her head against his shoulder]

Peter: [and he will kiss her shoulder, wrapping his arms around her] Are you happy, Buffy?

Buffy: [hums softly] Definitely in the vicinity of happy.

Peter: Kind of happy you'd be good with for the rest of your life.

Buffy: [she glances up to him, her head tipping to the side curiously] I think I would definitely be comfortable with that.

Peter: Just checking.

Buffy: [watches him carefully for a moment] Did my mom say something?

Peter: She said many things. Is there something in particular you're digging for?

Buffy: Just wondering what you're thinking about?

Peter: Right now I'm thinking about you and if we would be noticed if we slipped into some back room for a few minutes. [nibbles on her neck]

Buffy: [she laughs and her eyes close at the touch before nodding] I don't think anyone will care.

Peter: We wouldn't be gone too long. Unless you want to be gone longer [nibbles her ear next]

Buffy: [she chuckles] We'll see how slipping away goes.

Peter: Should we say goodbye?

Buffy: I think that's a good idea.

Peter: Then let's go do that. [takes her hand]

Buffy: [and with that they will head back to their apartment where their nice wedding clothes will probably wind up on the floor]

Peter: [oh yeah, taking his time not to damage them, but that is their final destination]

Buffy: [she probably won't mind because she's wearing a bridesmaid's dress - you only really wear those once]

Peter: [You never know. It could make a great Halloween costume later on]

Buffy: [if she's going for zombie bridesmaid, little tears might help rather than hurt the look. she's just saying]

Peter: [chuckles and kisses her neck, the zipper half down] Patience really isn't your strong suit.

Buffy: You have known me how long and you're just learning this now?

Peter: Oh, I know. Sometimes I just like to see if it's still the case.

Buffy: No, it's true. Still patience-less.

Peter: Do you care about this dress?

Buffy: Not at all.

Peter: Okay then [and benefit of werewolf boyfriend? He will grip it and rip it in half, tossing both pieces to the ground behind him] That fast enough for you?

Buffy: That is much more my speed. [and she'll help by probably popping buttons on his shirt as she pulls him towards the bed]

Peter: [he took the jacket off already and his shoes, so the rest of his clothes will be easy to discard as he leans down to kiss her]

Buffy: [she kisses him back, running her hand over his skin and it's only a few more steps before she's falling back against the bed, pulling him down with her]

Peter: [and he will be on top of her, pressing his body down as he kisses her, his hands sliding along her body]

Buffy: [she will let her hands wander as well, giving them a moment to settle comfortably, before she'll shift to roll them over so that she's straddling his hips]

Peter: [and he will look up at her, hands on her hips] Did I tell you how beautiful you looked today?

Buffy: [hums softly as she leans in to kiss him again] You may have mentioned it once or twice.

Peter: However, I do find you just as beautiful like this.

Buffy: [grins as she leans into him] You don't look so bad yourself.

Peter: Glad you approve [kisses her again, his hands guiding her to rub against him]

Buffy: [which she does, rocking her hips down against him gently]

Peter: [groans against her lips, pressing up against her]

Buffy: [and she will just continue to move against him just enjoying the friction building between them]

Peter: [his groan will eventually turn to a growl, wanting more than just friction]

Buffy: [and she will work to get the rest of their clothes off before moving to slide down over him]

Peter: [and his fingers will tangle in her hair, watching to see where she is going as she slides down him]

Buffy: [she shifts until her hips settle against his, rocking it gently as she adjusts before beginning to really move against him]

Peter: [and that will give her a deep groan, holding her tighter as he moved with her]

Buffy: [and it doesn't take much longer after that, her riding her until she hits her edge, before falling over with a happy sigh]

Peter: [and he joins her, and then pulls her down to hold her against his chest tightly]

Buffy: [will follow where she's pulled, curling up to rest against his chest]

Peter: Now that Dawn is married... will you be leaving to go back to the slayer life?

Buffy: [she gives a small shrug] Maybe. It depends where I'm needed.

Peter: What if you were needed here?

Buffy: Then here is where I would be.

Peter: Good. [his hand stroked her cheek] Because I need you.

Buffy: [she smiles softly] Then I'll stay.

Peter: [he will smile and tilt her head up as he leans down to kiss her]

Buffy: [kisses him back, letting her hand rest against his neck gently]

Peter: [and he will roll on top of her and slowly kiss his way down her body]

Buffy: [and she will lean back against the mattress and just let him take the lead]

Peter: [and he is going to take his time, pleasing her with his mouth in all her little hot spots]

Buffy: [which he knows very well, after knowing each other for so long]

Peter: [and he will switch out condoms and slide back up to start round two]

Buffy: [yay round two. yay superhuman staminas]

Peter: [they can go on all night]

Buffy: [yep. which they will probably do until they wear each other out]

Peter: [and then curl up and fall asleep entangled]

Buffy: [yep, all snuggly and happy and content]

Peter: [and if she goes to pick up clothes in the morning, she may find a bit of a lump in Peter's jacket pocket]

Buffy: [she could. maybe while he's cooking breakfast and she's looking for the remains of his shirt]

Peter: [well, if she does and he's not paying attention, she would find a small velvet bag in the pocket and this inside]

Buffy: [and when she does find it, there's a sudden, surprised] Oh!

Peter: [hearing that, but he's cooking] You okay up there?

Buffy: Fine! [maybe. sort of] You ... forget something last night?

Peter: No, not that I'm aware of. Did someone text us about a lost phone or something?

Buffy: No. You ... just had something. In your pocket. That I'm probably ruining.

Peter: [and with that Peter will close his eyes, sighing to himself] You shouldn't have seen that.

Buffy: I didn't mean to see it! It was not intentional snooping.

Peter: [he will finish up the eggs and then put the pan to the side and go to find her, leaning in the doorway] Uh huh.

Buffy: [and she is wearing his shirt, his jacket across her lap, and looking up at him innocently] I was just borrowing your shirt.

Peter: [there is a small smile because she looks so cute like that, and he will walk over and look at the ring in her hand] I picked it up that morning. I wasn't sure yet how to ask, or when to.

Buffy: You can take it back. It can wait. I will pretend I never even saw it.

Peter: No, it's okay. [he will kneel down, taking her hand and smiling up at her] I bought it for you, after all. And let's be real - you would have kept asking about what I was talking about last night and it would never have reached a big moment between us.

Buffy: Or a demon or vampire of some kind would have crashed the big moment.

Peter: We just aren't really lucky for moments lasting like that with our lives.

Buffy: [she shakes her head] It's better not to plan ahead.

Peter: Except for this. [he took the ring from her gently, holding it between them] Because when I said I needed you... I did mean it.

Buffy: I didn't think you didn't.

Peter: The question I asked your mother yesterday was for her blessing. Which she gave me. So that when I was ready, I could ask you if you would be my wife.

Buffy: [she smiles softly] I kinda jumped that gun, didn't I?

Peter: Maybe. Maybe it was the right time and I was just worried you wouldn't want it.

Buffy: Well, I do. Want it. If that's what you want.

Peter: I've wanted you for a long time. A very, very long time.

Buffy: Then good. We're on the same page.

Peter: So you will marry me?

Buffy: [she nods] Yeah. I will.

Peter: [and he will gently slide the ring onto her finger, and then lean in to kiss her]

Buffy: [and she will kiss him back, sliding her arms around his neck]

Peter: [and he will pull her to join him on the floor, kissing her deeply]

Buffy: [and they will probably wind up going back in for round we lost count]

Peter: [yup, breakfast totally forgotten]

Buffy: [they could always heat it up, or something]

Peter: [yeah. But after they are done with this round, he will just look at her hand on his chest with the ring and smile] Do you like it?

Buffy: [smiles before nodding as she looks as well] I do.

Peter: Good. I didn't want it to look too much like your sisters, but Hales have a thing with triskeles.

Buffy: [she laughs] No. I think it's just different enough.

Peter: Good. [kisses her] And with them gone on their honeymoon, we can keep this to ourselves for a bit, if you want to.

Buffy: [she nods] Probably a good idea.

Peter: Good [kisses her again] I think breakfast is going to be cold by now.

Buffy: [hums softly] We could just go out for pancakes instead.

Peter: We could do that.

Buffy: I vote pancakes.

Peter: Ok, pancakes it is. We will need to get dressed though.

Buffy: That was the kink in this plan I did not anticipate.

Peter: Beacon Hills has not become a nudist colony overnight, I'm afraid.

Buffy: [sighs] Alright. And we should probably shower too.

Peter: Separately. Or we will have to swap to lunch.

Buffy: [she nods] You first.

Peter: [and he moves to get up] I'll clean up the kitchen when you're in the shower.

Buffy: Sounds good. [and she'll curl up to wait out his shower time]

Peter: [and eventually showers will be had, clothing put on and they can go hand in hand to get pancakes]
