It was a dark and stormy night. It really was. Kate was sitting on her couch, wrapped in a blanket. She picked up her remote and started randomly flicking through the channels. A knock on the door startled her and she tossed the remote across the room in surprise. Muttering a few inappropriate words, she leaned over and picked up the remote. Placing it on the table she went to answer the door.

 "For a cop your not to bright Katie." Faith smirked, Her dark hair wavy and dripping from the rain.

Kate was too worried about the younger girl's appearance to retort. She grabbed Faith's hand and dragged her into the apartment. Looking her over for injuries and when she was positive there was none, Kate pushed Faith towards the bathroom.

"Go dry off. Your gonna get sick." She handed her a towel and shut the bathroom door.

Kate smiled as she heard Faith grumbling inside the bathroom. "Stop being a baby." She called through the door.

A brunette head appeared from behind the door. "I'm dry now But umm I kinda naked here Katie." She smiled her trademark smile.

Kate shook her head and grinned. She found a pair of sweats and a T-shirt and handed them to her through the door. Faith smiled her thanks and than started grumbling again. Something about sweats not being hot.

Kate just rolled her eyes as she waited for the brunette to come out of the bathroom. She wondered why Faith was there.

As if on cue, Faith stepped out of the bathroom and flopped down on the couch. Picking up the remote off the table, she made herself comfortable. Kate arched an eyebrow as she watched the slayer.

Faith felt the staring and she turned to meet Kate's amused gaze. "Yes?"

Kate just smiled. "Is there a reason your making yourself at home in my home?"

Faith grinned back. "Your afraid of the storms. I know this Katie. So Im here to make you feel better."

Kate Scoffed. "I am not afraid of the storms." She crossed her arms to punctuate her statement.

Faith just rolled her eyes. "Right. I believe you. Kate, I know you and I know your afraid of the storms. So chill. Im here to protect you from the big bad rain."

Kate looked like she was gonna protest again but she finally relented. She sat back on the couch and turned her attention to the TV.

Faith silently congratulated herself on her victory. She changed the channel on the TV again. Trying to find something good to watch. Kate shook her head again as she watched the younger girl.

"hungry?" Kate stood up.

"And horny." The word slipped out.

Kate laughed softly. "Slayed tonight?"

Faith grinned sheepishly and nodded. "Yeah got me all wound up. And Angel's banned me from the clubs."

Kate walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Coke?" She asked. "And why did Angel banned you from the clubs?"

"Cause he said I was never gonna find a stable relationship in a bunch of one night stands. Hence the no clubs rule." Faith appeared behind the blonde, making her drop the can of pop.

Faith slipped out her hand and caught it. "Thanks Katie." She opened the can and sat down at the counter.

Kate grabbed herself a can of pop and sat down across from the other girl. "He rights you know."

Faith raised an eyebrow. "Maybe but I'm not looking for a stable relationship. I'm just looking for fun."

Kate signed deeply. "Faith" She drawled out the other girl's name. "You know that's very unhealthy." She had a look of concentration on her face like she was gonna lecture her but Faith held up her hands.

"I surrendered didn't I?" She shook her head ruefully. "Im here aren't I? I'm not in some club." She grinned at Kate and then ducked her head, Muttering under her breath. "I could probably get more action in some club though."

Kate cleared her throat and met the younger girl's gaze. "Did you say something else Faith."

Faith pulled an innocent face and shook her head. "Nope. Nothing."

Faith stood up and turned towards the living room. "Come on I'm missing a wicked cool movie blondie."

Kate stepped behind the slayer and placed a hand of her shoulder. Faith turned around with a questioning gaze. Kate didn't say anything, she just leaned forward and kissed the younger girl softly. Faith gasped in surprise and Kate took that as an opening for her tongue to come out and play.

When they parted, both women were a little breathless. Faith raised her eyebrows and grinned.

"Wow!"

Kate smirked. "So what was that about not getting any action here?"

Faith looked up in surprise. "You heard that?"

Kate nodded as her lips curled into a small smile.

Faith grinned wickedly. "Well, it was a wow but I'd still get more action in some club."

Kate laughed softly. Placing a light kiss on Faith's lips, she dragged the younger girl into the bedroom and gave her some action.
