Willow laughed, clutching the phone to her ear as the girl on the other end muttered and rambled non-sensically. No wonder, it was 5:30am in the morning and they'd been talking for seven long, wonderful hours now. Willow knew that by this point Buffy was so tired she wouldn't remember this part of their conversation tomorrow morning. She grinned, and said what she always said, every night, when Buffy was like this, without fail.

"I Love You" she murrmured, with more confidence than she would usually have when telling her best friend the utter most truth of her feelings for the other girl.

"Mmmmhmm.." the blonde mumbled in reply, lying on her stomach upon her bed with her face turned to the side and the phone only just still pressed against her ear as her eyes fluttered shut.

"Buffy, I'm in love with you. Crazy in love. Your the most beauftiful, wonderful, amazing person I've ever met! Today in science, when Mr Gordanput on the documentary about bugs and the two of us where sitting up the back, in the dark, so close out legs where touching. And you where leaning over to whisper in my ear and I could smell the sweet perfumed scent of your honeyed pear shampoo, I just wanted to grab you and kiss you like you've enever been kissed before and never let you go" the red head confessed dramatically. On the other end of the phone the blonde grinned sleepily, speaking in a low, slow, slightly sexy voice as she answer:

"I know Will. I wanted to kiss you too...". Willow smiled and shook her head, Buffy always replied like that. 'I love you too', 'I think your gorgeous too'...etc And then tomorrow morning she'd wake up and have no clue of the last ten - twenty minutes of their conversation.

"Ya ha, goodnight Buff. Sweet dreams my golden angel" the red head whispered softly, starting to feel a little tired herself. Obviously the six coffee's she'd had that afternoon/evening where finally starting to wear off.

"Nighty night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs... Do you even have bed bugs Will? Are they itchy? Maybe you should an exterman-in-antorer... like a terminator, but for bugs. Gosh dats a scary thoguht... A giant bug with guns and muscles and being alll..." the blonde rambled aimlessly in reply. Willow giggled and hung up the phone, placing it back on the hook and reaching up to turn off the lamp with a yawn. She was definetly ready for sleepy time now. Buffy was probably still mumbling to herself and most likely wouldn't even notice her friend had hung up, she'd just talk herself to sleep with the phone still pressed against her ear. Willow grinned at the image before pulling up the covers to properly cover her and closing her eyes.

Buffy grinned to herself as she heard the soft beep, beep, beep as the other girl had hung up and the blonde reached over to place the phone back on the hook before snuggling down deeper beneath her doona. One of these days she'd tell Willow that she really did remember every one of there late night confessions. But just a little longer. She liked to hear Willow talk when the other girl thought there would be no consequences later. She was so cute when she was confessing.
