That Thing That Happened That Time (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

Satsu and Faith

Faith idly strolls down the long, endless hallways of the Scottish castle, unsure of what to do with herself since there wasn't anything attacking at that particular moment. So instead she explored the castle, sizing it up, checking out all the little nooks and crannies that anyone or anything could get through to attack if it ever came. But eventually she sees something that she was hoping to avoid rather than fight if possible. Satsu comes strolling down the hallway with a little more purpose but no idea what's ahead of her.

A sudden urge to avoid another near broken nose hits Faith and she turns around to start heading the opposite way, possibly hoping to jump into another room until the potential attacker passes by. Things don't quite work out that way though as Satsu spots Faith heading in the opposite direction suddenly.

"Faith..."

The sound of her name makes her stop, knowing she isn't gonna get away with the 'avoidance' plan. She turns around to face Satsu with an attempt at a serious but non-angry expression.

"Hey, Satsu, I..."

Her less than thought out plan to suddenly talk her way out of the situation doesn't work out either as Satsu runs right into Faith, a forearm firmly against Faith's collarbone with force. Faith hits the wall with a sudden thud that slightly stuns her at the force of Satsu's slayer strength. There's a look of serious but reserved anger on Satsu's face that's staring right into Faith.

"I don't like you."

Faith raises an eyebrow at Satsu's sudden statement.

"Really? Maybe we're getting our wires crossed or something because I'm getting a different impression from being slammed against the wall like you're trying to break one or more of my bones."

The younger slayer doesn't even really flinch at Faith's words.

"I've heard about you. I know about the things you did and what you're capable of. And I don't like any of it."

Faith sorta shrugs.

"Well whatever you've heard, I'm sure the reality is about a hundred times worse."

"Yeah? Well, I didn't much like you anyway and now from what I've heard I like you even less."

"Okay then, while we're on the subject of what you've heard and since I have your attention and everything. I kinda wanna make something clear between you and me."

Satsu just stares at the woman she's got up against the wall, not sure if she wants to hear whatever Faith has to say. Eventually she asks the question though.

"What's that?"

"No matter whatever else you might've heard, what twisted tale you heard from whoever's giving you your info. I ain't no carpet muncher."

Faith's wording seems to have the opposite effect that she was hoping for. Satsu gives Faith an extra shove against the wall at her anger.

"You got a PROBLEM with lesbians?"

Faith holds up her hands defensively rather than fight back which is what Satsu was expecting for a second there.

"No, hey, look, whatever makes you feel right with the world is fine by me. Believe me, I know what not feeling right by the world feels like. But on the very short list of things that I'd like to do before I die a brutal and pointless death, getting down and dirty with B ain't anywhere near the top of it. We ain't never been like that, me and B, and the way that we were and maybe always will be involves knives and other sharp objects that aren't designed for getting off unless you're into some seriously fucked up kink. Which, again, ain't what I'm into."
