Title: Spidey Sense 87/100 TtH Prompt: #1 Moon Summary: Keeping watch off world. Spidey Sense Buffy stood on top of the hill calmly looking up at the unfamiliar moon. In the valley below, a village was sleeping peacefully in its soft light. They would have continued on to it and stayed there that night, except the sun had almost completely set when they had spied it. It was still a few miles away and Cameron didn’t want to risk walking in the dark. She had volunteered to take first watch. Something about this planet caused a tingling sensation to crawl over her skin. It wasn’t unpleasant, just unsettling. She was only hoping that some quiet time alone would give her time to pinpoint the cause. Her senses had been stretched to their limits as she had patrolled the surrounding area, but nothing unusual registered. That wasn’t too surprising since the feeling had started the moment she had stepped through the gate. Maybe it was nothing serious. It could just be something in the soil causing the sensation. Something that just reacted with her heightened abilities. She heard soft footsteps behind her and she turned to see Cameron walking up the hill to join her. Her heart skipped a beat as she took in his moonlit features. “Everything okay?” He softly asked. She could clearly see the concern along with the affection for her shining in his eyes. “Not a peep anywhere,” she answered just as softly. Even though they were far enough away from the campsite that their normal volumes wouldn’t disturb their sleeping teammates, it only seemed right to speak in hushed tones to match their surroundings. “Are you okay? You’ve seemed distracted ever since we got here.” Buffy shrugged. “The planet feels funny.” “Funny? Funny how?” “I dunno. Just funny.” He frowned. “Supernatural spidey-sense funny, or just strange weird funny.” “I’m not sure,” she said truthfully. “It feels funny, but I can’t pinpoint anything.” “But you’ll tell me if you do?” “Of course,” she said, turning back to the sleeping village below. Cameron slipped his arm around her and she leaned into him. They took a moment to enjoy the closeness in the quiet of the night, only to have it interrupted by Buffy’s yawn. “You should get some sleep.” “Yeah, probably,” she said, not moving. He reluctantly removed his arm as she yawned again. “Go to bed.” “Is that an order?” She asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked up at him. “Out here, yes,” he said. “Well, then you don’t get a good night kiss if you’re being all official-like,” she said with a teasing smile as she moved to head back to the camp. He reached out and snagged her wrist. “What if I made it a request from you’re concerned boyfriend?” “That’s different,” she said, coming back to him. Not caring that they were on a mission off world, he pulled her close and brought his lips down to meet hers. Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
