Love Makes You Do The Wacky: Part Two
by WeepingWillow
I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or any of the charactors on it, those belong to Joss, the WB network and Mutant Enemy, as far as I know.

They got to the bathroom and Cordy dragged WIllow over to the sinks, she started running the water and got some stuff out of her bag.
"Um, what are you doing Cordy?" Willow asked seeing the brush and cosmetics jump out of the bag.
"Like I'm really gonna let you go back to that library with red, puffy circles? Yeah right, and I'm gonna be the next Vampire Slayer. Knowing them the're just gonna think I made you cry more and then they'll give me dirty looks and I'll say something stupid and the whole tense argument thing is gonna start up again," Cordy said getting some tissues from her purse.
"No, uhuh, I'm allergic to all make-up, I'll die...yep, on me makeup equals death, so sorry..." Willow said nervously eyeing the objects of torture on the counter.
"Dunk!" Cordy screamed geting tired of Willow's exuses.
"Huh," Willow asked not understanding.
"Dunk your face into the water, you need to wash your face." Cordy said lightening the tone only slightly.
Willow looked at the her and silently obeyed, Cordy grabbed her hair while her face was under the water so she wouldn't get her hair wet. It felt nice, but she didn't want to keep Cordy waiting so she hurried it up. When she was out Cordy started dabbing her face with the tissues to dry it off.
"Only do around my eyes, okay? Willow asked nervously.
"Alright," Cordy responded kind of disapointed. She then looked at her makeup supplies and said, "Sorry Willow, I don't have any concealer in pasty white so it will look weird if I don't do your whole face," Cordelia said happily.
"Alright," Willow whispered under her breath.
Cordelia than applied the concealer quickly and flawlessly. "Alright give me your lips," Cordy said admiring her own handy work.
"Uhhuh, you said only concealer," Willow cried out.
"I lied, now gimme," Cordelia replied with a sadistic look on her face. She did and Cordelia chose a light raisin color for her lips. "Alright, gather your strength, and let us go back to the library." Cordelia said looking over her masterpiece.
They started out the door and saw Buffy coming in.
"We were just going back to the library," Willow said timidly.
"Don't bother, Giles is the only one there," Buffy said looking at Willow, and then at Cordy, and then back to Willow. "What happened to you Willow?" Buffy said looking at the good job Cordelia had done with her makeup.
Willow moved to go wash it off, but Cordelia stopped her.
"What happened there?" Cordelia asked still holding on to Willow's arm so she wouldn't run and wash the makeup off.
"Well, Xander and I got to the library,then Oz walked in and asked where you were, and Xander started insulting him big-time, he seemed calm and collected...then Xander said something about Oz defiling you and he went postal and hit Xander in the nose," Buffy explained. "He kinda said that he wants you Will, earlier in the halls he said he wanted you two to be together, then he said he loved you, so I got mad and dragged him to the library, so if I got mad anymore and kicked his ass it wouldn't be in front of so many people. When did you two come in?"
"Right as Oz hit Xander in the face," Cordelia said reflecting back on it.
"Where is Oz?" Willow asked deciding to worry about her boyfriend first.
"Just follow the Yellow Brick road my pretty," Xander said bursting into the girls room.
"Damnit, Xander, I knew I could count on you to do something stupid, well something else stupid that is," Buffy screeched.
"Okay, all joking aside, I need to talk to Willow," Xander said wiping the grin off his face.
"Defile?'' Willow said angrily.
"Hey, I know what's going to happen if I try and define that word, would you punch your dictionary?" Xander asked.
"I don't believe you said that, how stupid are you?'' WIllow said bitterly.
"Willow, I've just been thinking about our relationship and I think I'm in love with you," his sentence was ended with a slap on some body part or an other by each female.
"No fair, how come Willow got to slap him in the face when I only got the arm?'' Cordelia muttered.
"Don't worry Cordy, you can slap him in the face too, if ya wanna," Willow replied and almost started crying again.
Cordelia started slapping him anywhere she could, "Stop being an asshole, you're gonna make her cry, do you have any idea how long I spent on her makeup ?" Cordelia cryed out ending almost each word with a hit to his arms, chest and back. "And that stuff is not cheap we can't just have her crying it away each time you want to declare your love for her, besides you don't love her, you just think you should." Cordelia said nearly screaming.
"Um, Cordelia..." Xander said, starting to fear her.
"Don't you dare, 'Um Cordelia' me, You see the best friend you've always had hurt by what happened because she loved you, and you love her in a friend way so you think maybe if I love her the way she wants me to I won't hurt her as much...."
"Yeah," Willow said interuppting Cordy. "Did it ever occur to you that maybe I don't love you anymore?" Willow screamed out, not exactly meaning what she said.
"You dont love me at all, I'll go then," Xander said heartbroken, leaving the bathroom quickly before Willow could clear up what she had meant.
"I didn't mean to say I didn't love him...but that I don't love him in that way anymore," Willow said looking distressed.
"I have to go now," Cordy said looking tired and worn out.
"Alright, thanks for...you know talking with me and stuff," Willow said.
"Alright, see ya," Cordelia replied.
Buffy and Willow left together and left to go to Buffy's house, Willow looked really weird, she looked up at Buffy.
"I don't believe you let Cordelia put makeup on you, it looks good," Buffy said trying to spark up a convo.
"Yeah, well, I wasn't in the mood to argue over it," Willow replied.
"Alright, tell me, what did you two say to each other?" Buffy asked nervously.
"We talked about Xander, and Oz, and relating," Willow answered.
When they got outside, Willow looked over and saw that Oz's van was parked over in the farthest space from the school. She looked over at Buffy who hadn't noticed it yet.
"I want to go talk with Oz, I think right now would be a good time," Willow said gesturing towards the van.
"Well, do you really think that's such a good idea?" Buffy asked concerned for her friends emotional and physical health.
"I'll be fine, don't worry," Willow said leaving her friend before she could object.
Willow took small steps walking towards the car, trying to gather herself, so it took nearly ten minutes to get to Oz's van. Willow finally got there and looked to see if he was up front, he wasn't. She went around to the back and started knocking on the back door. There was no answer, she knocked again, no answer again.
"Come on Oz, I know you're in there, let me in," Willow called out.
"You should just leave, it's not good for you to be here, 'cause..."
"Let me in and then you can tell me the reason why I shouldn't be with you now," Willow said cutting him off.
Oz opened the back of the van, he settled back against the wall of the van and started playing with his nails, he looked upset, before today she'd never seen him upset.
"Tell me what happened,'' Willow said getting in the van and closing the back behind her.
"I messed up," Oz replied.
"Alright, Oz--AKA--Vague Man, how did you mess up?" Willow asked adjusting pillow she was sitting on, it was too dark in the back of the van, she wanted to see face his better.
"You saw what happened, I almost tried to kill your best friend, I was sprouting hair and my teeth were growing, that's what I did wrong, I mean I was turning into Eddie Vedder," Oz said looking down at his hands again.
"Eddie Vedder? Never mind, why did you start turning?" Willow asked puzzled.
"It was one of those few occasions when I was really mad, and now I feel real bad about it and I want to apologize to everyone but I'm afraid they'll all run if they see me coming, I mean I felt the wolf-like power growing in me, and I let it break out for a few seconds, I even willed it," Oz said, looking truly disgusted with himself.
"What was it that set you off, made you hit him?" Willow asked determined to get to the bottom of Oz's strange behavior.
"It's when he asked me if I had...'defiled' you, I couldn't stand him thinking something like that...I mean, I know you're not ready, and..I know I could never do anything like that to you, I guess I was kinda trying to protect your honor...and you wouldn't...I, um, nevermind, I'm sorry," Oz said looking horribly uncomfortable.
"I wouldn't what?" Willow said ready to cry.
"I'm still amazed you would ever go out with me in the first place, now you can have the guy you love, so you might as well just go to him, I mean I've never been anything special," Oz said sadly.
"You're special to me, you have people who care for you, in fact you're very, very, very special to me, you're my first real boyfriend, you're sweet, you're nice, you're funny, and contrary to your beliefs you're one helluva hottie," Willow said looking completly shocked that she had just said that.
Oz looked at her shocked and concidered what she had just said, he looked at the embarassed look on her face and started to laugh.
"One helluva hottie eh?" he prodded on smiling happily.
"I..uh, um...uhhh, well, yeah," She said and joined in his laughter.
"I've never been referred to as a 'hottie', I could get used to it," Oz said stifling laughter.
"What is so damn interesting about your nails?" Willow asked scooting closer to him.
He started laughing again, and looked down at his nails, they had been ruined by their sudden growth earlier, it was all cracked and peeled.
"Being a werewolf can do one helluva number on my nails," Oz said as Willow took his hands and started looking at them.
She held his hands in hers and inspected them, closely, he really needs to stop hitting people all the time, she thought to herself, it will ruin his beautiful hands. She held his hands and started peeling and cracking away at the the nail poilish until it was off his nails and on her pants in big dried up bits. She held his hands closer to her and led them up to her face, she, with a little help from him, traced her own face with his hands. She let go and he kept moving his hands around on her face, he finally started tracing her lips with his fingers. She began giving small kisses to his fingers. To his shock, she opened her mouth and started to suck on his fingers, she let them go after a few moments and they just looked at each other, they looked back on in there intimate and sensual, yet at the same time innocent moment together.
"I told Buffy almost a month ago how much I like your hands," Willow said nervously.
"You just..." Oz began.
"Love makes you do the wacky," Willow replied quickly and cutely, she then leaned in on him and started to kiss him, he returned it.
After that little scene in the bathroom, Cordelia went out to her car and started driving, she wasn't sure where she wanted to go, so she just drove till she was there. It was Xander's house. Cordelia knocked on the door and when there was no respose she went around the house to where Xander's room was, she heard some kind of mopey country song coming from his window and decided that he was definitely there. She called up to him and there was still no response, so she looked around and found a rock, she hurled it at the window, and it was a good thing it was open cause it would have broken the window... "Ow, damnit," Xander yelled out as the rock hit him in the gut, he then got up and turned of his 'Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits' record and went over to the window getting ready to chuck it back at the chucker.
"Harris, if you even come near me with that rock I'll kick your ass," Cordelia screamed up at him.
"Oh, like you haven't done enough physical damage to me today, you hit me about thirty times, and you chuck a rock through my window into my stomach," Xander yelled down at her.
"Let me in, or come down," She screamed up at him,"
"It's open," he yelled back and disapeared from her veiw.
She walked around the house and to the front door and walked in, she went up the stairs and found the door that said 'Hazardous Waste' and a little cardboard clock on it; that had to be his. She knocked and was told to come in.
Dirty, she thought, and he has no decorating skills, but kinda charming.
"What's with all the clocks," she asked as she scanned the room, and noticed at least six clocks, plus the one on the door.
"I don't know, I just kinda have them," he said.
"What happened today, what the hell did you do?'' Cordelia asked trying to get his side of it.
"Well, Buffy dragged me into the library, and then Oz came in and gave me a dirty look, so I got a little sarcastic, and he went postal on me for it," Xander explained.
"Oz gave you a 'dirty look'? Oz doesn't give looks, let alone dirty ones, nobody can ever tell what he's thinkng, so I think you saw what you wanted to," Cordelia said annoyed.
"See, that's another thing, what kind of guy doesn't give looks, he's probably on drugs or something, I mean think about it. A grungy guy named Oz, in a band, and always just has a vacant stare on his face," Xander said.
"I see you've thought about this a lot, and it is a good point, I mean who would dress like that if not on something? Oh, nevermind, you dress like...how you dress, but I don't think you're a druggie...Oz is strange, but I don't think he's a druggie," Cordelia said.
"What about this whole Willow thing? What, you love her now? Why now, why not before...I mean why did you have to wait...till...till we were dating?" Cordelia said and then turned around.
She started grabbing at the heart locket that Xander gave her, feeling sad. Xander stopped looking down and looked over at Cordelia, he quickly turned her around with force and came face to face with to a Cordelia with a face full of tears and clutching at the locket he had given her. She turned to leave and he held tight onto her as she looked down at her hands, He suddenly realized that Cordelia really cared for him, perhaps even loved him. He set her down on the bed, and kept looking down in awe at her makeup streaked face.
"You love me, don't you," Xander asked starting more tears from her, he looked down and suddenly started to cry himself.
There they both were crying hysterically, sitting on Xander's bed, they reached for eachother and started to cry on one another.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what was right in my head, I don't know how to make things right out of my head, I love you, I just felt all this love, and didn't beleive it could be for you, so I directed it somewhere else, I'm sorry," Xander sobbed into Cordelia's shirt.
"You're going to ruin my shirt Lover boy," Cordelia sobbed, but also started to laugh.
"Hey, at least my tears are clear, and not black and green with eye makeup," Xander said, and started to laugh also.
They both just sat there and cryed and laughed in each others arms for awhile...
Willow and Oz finally came up for air and just looked at each other for a while. They stared at each others eyes, and they smiled, and held each others hands.
"Oh God, I just made out with a senior in the back of his van, what would my parents think?" Willow said not very seriously.
"Hey, you started it," Oz said and smiled widely at her.
"I have to go, can you drive me to Buffy's, I said I'd be right behind her, and it's been along time since then, she didn't even want me to come to you," Willow said and returned his smile.
"Alright, Buffy's the one who gos around slamming innocent people against walls, and she is worried about you with me?" Oz asked jokingly.
"Slamming innocent people against walls?" Willow asked confused.
"Oh, I didn't tell you, the first time I met Buffy she slammed me up against the school wall and told me to 'try it', actually, to this day I don't know what she wanted me to try," Oz said with a smile on his face.
"When was this?" Willow asked.
"Around the time of the carreer fair, around the time I first met you," Oz said and squeezed Willow's hand.
"Oh, she had these assasins after her called The Order of Taraka, she was really scared about it, jumping at her own shadow, which she had right to do, concidering that police woman was one of the assasins," Willow said remembering back.
"Oh, I see, didn't you say something about her being an assasin before? She wasn't very nice, almost shot you, that would have sucked," Oz said and started to get up.
Willow followed him up to the front seat seat and fastened her seat belt. Oz started the engine and drove Willow to Buffy's house, Buffy was waiting out on the steps for her friend.
Willow gave Oz a peck on the cheek amd got out.
"See ya tommorow?" Oz called after her.
"Yep, see ya," Willow said and went with Buffy.
"Hi Buffy, and I guess bye also," Oz called after her. Buffy waved back and dragged Willow into the the house.
Buffy and Willow went up the sairs to Buffy's room, Buffy was very curious as to what put the goofy grin on Willow's face.
"Alright Wilow, what put the goofy grin on your face," Buffy asked as she closed the door to her room.
"Well, I went to go ask Oz what had happened, you know his side of it, and he was there working on his brooding skills, getting almost as good at it as...well getting pretty good at it," Willow said, stopping herself from bringing up Angel.
"Alright, brooding Oz, go on" Buffy prodded.
"Well, I cant tell you everything, but I got him out of his mood and that's all I can say," Willow said happily.
"Oh God, what, tell me!" Buffy ordered Willow.
"Where do you think finger-sucking lays, in what range is would you say that's in?" Willow asked nervously.
"Finger-sucking? ranges? Let's not get into a 'Pulp Fiction' like discussion on ranges, and ball-parks, although I think it does lay in the same range as a foot-massage," Buffy said staring at her friend, Willow talking about any kind of sucking was majorly weird.
"Pulp Fiction?" Willow asked perplexed.
"You know, where they're talking about foot massages and how that guy got thrown out the window for giving one to some other guys wife, you know at the beginning, or maybe not the beginning but just one of the parts they showed at the beginning, Ah, damn I don't know, that movie is so confusing," Buffy said having lost Willow a long time before that.
"Nevermind," Willow said.
"Why do you ask about finger-sucking Willow," Buffy asked.
"Well, Oz was playing with his nails, and...well then...and you know how much I like his hands..." Willow said regretting even bringing it up.
"Oh my God! Willow? You what?" Buffy said shocked and amazed, what a weird day.
"I didn't say that, I mean, well..." Willow said blushing brighter by the minute.
"Alright, what happened?" Buffy asked grinning.
"We talked, I sucked on his fingers, and we kissed, are you happy now? Yep, Willow made out with a guy in the back of a van, you believe that? Can we please leave it alone before my face is permanently stained red from blushing so bad, and you know what, I made the first move too," Willow said quickly and afterwords regreted it.
"Wow," Buffy said looking at her friend.
"Yeah, wow," Willow agreed.
The phone rang and she was very happy for it, she wanted that convo over now. Buffy went to get it.
Xander and Cordelia stopped holding on to each other, and they started to talk about how things were going to be after this.
"Alright, we're boyfriend and girlfriend, we do everything that comes with it from now on, no being secretive," Xander said.
"Agreed, alright next thing is we have to have you apoligize and stuff for what happened," Cordelia added.
"Alright, agreed, how about I call Willow?" Xander said ready to make everything right.
"Okay, go ahead," Cordelia said and leaned back on his bed, I never thought I could be so comfortable in a cluttered, ugly room, she thought to herself.
Xander picked up the phone and dialed Willow's house, not there. So he tryed Buffy, it picked up after two rings.
"Buffy, have you seen Willow?" Xander said into the phone.
"Um, yeah, actually she just came over to say bye, you see, she ran away with Oz," Buffy said jokingly.
"She what?" Xander screamed into the phone and then heard the familiar laughter of his friend in the background.
"Ha ha ha, very funny, Can me and Cordy come over, we both need to talk to you guys, is Oz there? If not get him there, this concerns him too, and I'm not gonna start any fights," Xander said quickly.
"Alright, I guess...but...," Buffy said being cut off by Xander hanging up.
"Alright Cordy, let's go," Xander said and dragged her off his bed.
Buffy looked at the phone and then hung it up.
"That was weird, he hung up, do you know how to get a hold of Oz? If so, get him over here,"Buffy said.
"He said he was gonna go home, I can try his house," Willow replied.
Buffy handed Willow the phone and went over to her bed and plopped down.
Willow dialed Oz's number and it was picked up on the third ring.
"Hey's Oz there?" Willow said into the phone.
"This is he, Willow?" Oz replied form the other line.
"Yep, um can you come over to Buffy's house?" Willow asked, still not sure as to why she was asking.
"Yeah, I guess, why?" Oz replied.
"I'm not sure myself, just come please," Willow said.
"Alrighty, I'm on my way," he said and she hung up.
"Why did I just ask my boyfriend to come over?" Willow asked.
"Well, Xander wanted him here when he came over," Buffy replied.
"What! Why so Xander can kill him, or the other way around," Willow screamed shocked that Buffy would allow it.
"Xander said that he really didn't want to start a fight, he sounded sincere," Buffy said to her hysterical friend.
"Yeah, okay...let's go down stairs, Xander should be here soon, Oz too, neither are far away," Willow said calming down.
Just as they got down stairs Xander erupted in, with Cordelia trailing behind.
"I know it's not far, but how did you get here so fast," Buffy said as they burst in.
"I was driving with Queen C over her, nuff said," Xander said and walked towards the living room, your Mom is gone, right?"
"Yeah, do you guys need anything, err something, God, it feels like were having some kind of meeting, sorry I didn't have any refreshments ready," Buffy said as Xander made himself at home in the living room.
"We'll live, wheres Oz?" Xander blurted out.
"Um, he is on his way, hey you called him Oz. Cool," Willow said and sat down in a chair.
Oz knocked at the door ten minutes later, he was invited in and he looked around nervously.
"Welcome Oz, how are you," Xander said and watched the boy sit down nervously.
"Yeah, I'm fine, what's going on here?" Oz said nervously.
"Well, Xander wants to apoligize and say what a stupid lame-ass he was," Cordelia said and shot him a stare.
"Alright, here gos, I am sorry for what happened today, I'm sorry for being mean to Oz, and I'm sorry for saying that I was in love with Willow, when I wasn't," Xander said quickly.
"Then why did you say it?" Willow asked, on the verge of tears again.
"Well, I was feeling a lot of strong feelings, and I didn't know how to direct them, so I directed them at you," Xander said.
"Meaning," Cordelia said and nudged him.
"I'm in love with Cordelia, I didn't want to think I was, so I directed my feelings towards someone I thought needed, wanted, and fit my feelings better, Willow. Cordelia came to my house and..." Xander was stopped there with a pinch from Cordelia.
"You're in love with her?" Willow asked shocked, and a little happy that this whole situation with Xander was over.
"Yep, it's freaky and strange, but tis true," Xander said and looked at Oz.
"And what about me, what was that all about?" Oz asked.
"What about you? Alright, I love you too," Xander said and gave Oz a hug.
Oz just stared shocked, and weirded out, and accepted that as the only answer he was gonna get.
"Oh, I'm still gonna kill ya if you hurt her, but for now, I'll leave you alone," Xander said and smiled.
Oz sat there uncomfortably and looked at Buffy.
"Demonic possesion?" Oz asked and gestgured towards Xander
Buffy just gestgured towards Cordelia, and Oz nodded.
"Hey, what was that about?" Cordelia said and got up from her seat.
The rest of them got up from there seats too. Cordelia went over to Xander and latched on to his hand.
"You hugged Oz, Xander?" Willow asked and looked at Oz, and then back to Xander.
"He's just so tiny and cuddly looking, like a little puppy" Xander said and winked at Oz.
Oz just raised his left eyebrow, with great skill.
"I think you oughta leave the cuddling to Willow," Buffy said, Xander sqeezed Cordelia's hand.
"No fair," He said and started towards the door with Cordy.
"Gee, no wonder Larry thinks you're gay Xander," Buffy said and flashed an evil smile at him.
"Hey, he was supposed to keep that secret...I mean..." Xander said and then gave everyone a weird look.
"Yeah, I was at lunch the other day, and he mentioned how he'd love to get some of that Xander Oz action, if you know what he meant," Willow said and smiled.
Oz and Xander exchanged glances, and both shuddered.
This is the pure nonsence part of my fic, enjoy.
The next day at school, Buffy and Giles sat in the library together and moped.
"How come we didn't get any crying on beds and finger-sucking?" Buffy asked and looked towards Giles.
"Finger-sucking? Nevermind, I don't want to know," Giles said looking back at Buffy.
"Well, all I'm saying is we never get any smoochies or nothing else anymore, couldn't this chick have written something about that into her fic?" Buffy said and took a sip of her coke.
"Yes, really, I mean I want smoochies too, but they had to go and kill Jenny off, I think they find it funny to see me suffer, and it's not like I'm cool enough to write fics about, so I never see any action, at least you had Angel for awhile, all I got was a lying gypsy chick, and it's not like we even got anywhere," Giles said un-happily.
"You've obviously never been to a WorstWitch fan-fic page, I mean you're her only subject, I on the other hand have to scan hundreds of storys before I can find a good smoochie-fic about me," Buffy said and looked down at her hands.
"Yes, well, we shouldn't be so jealous, we should be happy for both the couples," Giles said, not really meaning it.
Buffy and Giles exchanged glances, looking at eachother for a while, they both smiled and moved closer...they smiled again...
"Nah, I don't think so," they both said at the same time, and went back to there work.
