and buffy actually wanted her around??? and she didn't need to impress her with bullshit stories about wrestling alligators while naked??? "whoa that's possible?" says huge homosexual faith lehane

Remember how Buffy thought she was cool and mysterious and embraced her with the gratitude of someone alone for two years finally having a kindred spirit to connect to? Remember how Faith needed Buffy to say that and Buffy didn't know how? Remember how because of that, Faith assumed that Buffy never loved her at all? Remember how a fundamental failure of communication coupled with love fuelled by a shared connection deeper than the magics at the beginning of the universe made them systematically attempt to destroy each other yet ultimately hold back, over and over again, for years, and it was somehow the most romantic thing your tiny teen brain had ever seen?
