deird_ljHere's a Spuffy ficlet, written for the "first" prompt at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
still_grrr.
(What was Buffy and Spike's first kiss, anyway?)
Succession
The first time Buffy kissed Spike – really kissed him, with lips touching softly, passionately, and breath coming faster every moment, and hands curling softly in hair, and the rest of the world melting away – it was perfect.
They were going to be together forever, the perfect couple, they were made for each other (and she couldn’t believe she’d never realised it before), and every problem would melt away, because love could conquer anything.
Their love was real, their wedding would be perfect, and they were going to live happily ever after.
She couldn’t understand why Giles was looking so annoyed.
* * * * *
The first time Buffy kissed Spike – really kissed him, not because of some spell telling her she wanted to, but because she really did – it was important.
Important that she tell him, important that he got what she meant, that she could show him it mattered, what he’d done, it mattered.
And even though she hated his guts, even though they were standing in a cemetery with dust making the air musty, even though his mouth was cut and bruised and swollen, even though he was completely evil… for one tiny moment, she really did mean every bit of it.
* * * * *
The first time Buffy kissed Spike – really kissed him, urgently needed to kiss him, needed to feel him kissing her back – it was real.
It was there.
And suddenly, she was there, too – not wanting to be there and not feeling real, not wishing she was somewhere else entirely, not thin and faded and barely existing, but there. Right there, right then. Kissing a vampire in an alley, with feeling flooding through her, everything rushing back in and making her her, holding her, grounding her, being real and solid and… there.
She felt more alive than she’d been in months.
* * * * *
The first time Buffy kissed Spike – really kissed him, definitely kissed him, because she’d thought it through, over and over, and plus she’d been wanting to for weeks now, and she just had to kiss him, right now, in case this was her last chance – it was different.
Tentative, and new; both of them uncertain and fumbling and really hoping the other person would keep kissing them back. Almost like they’d never done this before.
Maybe it was a bad idea – but she didn’t care. She was going to stay here kissing him, in case she never got to again.
* * * * *
The first time Buffy kissed Spike – really kissed him, properly, perfectly, with everything she had in her – it was…
It was messy. With demon corpses everywhere, and blood on his face, and green ooze covering her clothes… and she really didn’t care.
It was emotional. She wanted to hold him, to kill him for not telling her he wasn’t dead, to cry, to hit Angel for staring at them, to get her clothes de-oozed… and in the end she started giggling in between kisses, because it was so ridiculous.
It was Buffy kissing Spike. And that was all she wanted.

Just lovely, and very very Spuffy.
The first one made me giggle a lot, cause when I first started reading, I was like, "Really, Deird? Tropes much?" And then I got it and it was hilarious.

(For the record - if I ever describe a couple as "perfect", you can pretty much bet I'm being extremely tongue-in-cheek.)
Glad you like it!

Date: 2009-08-17 11:41 pm (UTC)I've been intrigued by the idea of their 'first kiss' too - because if you count on-screen fantasy kisses, then the one at the end of OMWF was actually their fourth (counting Something Blue as one long kiss, which, why not?).
Amazingly, I think I like the S7 the best, especially that second paragraph.

Date: 2009-08-21 12:01 pm (UTC)JL discusses, knowledgeably
Date: 2009-08-21 12:01 pm (UTC)Meaning aside from various stylistic peculiarities that feel familiar that I had lots of fun reading it and have only the slightest idea what it's about...
I'm guessing the first one is when they're madly in love haha heehee keep the shippers happy what a ridiculous an idea...
...and I'm guessing no.3 is that musical episode? I seem to remember Buffy moping about how she (still) feels dead and Spike Wrestling With Feelings For Enemy...
*smugly notes own magnificent use of -y AND -ness in same expression*
*high-fives self*
no subject

Yes - number one is them being madly in love, in a cracky, never-going-to-happen sort of way.
Number two is after Spike has done something wonderfully sweet in season 5.
Number three is the musical episode (end of).
Number four did not happen on screen, but is supposed to be in a fade-to-black from the final episode.
And number five is very shortly post-series after the final episode of Angel.
I'm glad you enjoyed reading it!
