Prompt 173: Elements, Earth (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water – I got them all in!)
Characters/Pairing (if any) Oz/Willow, Buffy
Notes I thought of Earth, Wind, and Fire as soon as I saw this prompt, and I just couldn't resist. ;-)
“Get that, will you?” As lightning flashed against the dark sky, Willow ran towards the curtains, which were blowing into the room, to close the windows while Oz reverently placed a record down on the player.
“And why do you have all these records anyway?” Willow asked as she turned back towards Oz. “There are these newfangled things called CDs now and I hear you can play music on them.”
“Vinyl sounds better.” Carefully setting the needle about halfway down the record, he added, “OK, check this out.”
Willow gave him the occasional “uh huh” and tried not to tentatively bite her lip as the music played. You're a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you can truly be, truly be.
“This part,” Oz said, looking almost excited as he pointed towards the music. “Listen to how they take the harmony up just a notch when the rhythm changes.” Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be.
There was a knock on the door but before either of them could answer, Buffy stuck her head in. “Oh good, you're here.”
“Buffy, what are you doing here, in Oz's room, where I'm alone with my boyfriend?”
Buffy, shaking her head, missed the question. “Huh? Oh, can I borrow a towel?” she asked as she pushed the door open. She was dripping onto the carpet. “Was patrolling. Got wet. Raining cats and dogs.”
“Sure, over there.” Oz nodded towards the other side of the room.
As she wiped down her arms and torso, Buffy looked warily at the record player. “What is that?” she asked of the music.
“Earth, Wind, and Fire,” Oz replied.
“And we're listening to Giles-music because?”
Blushing furiously, Willow coughed. Buffy froze for a moment, looking confused, until Willow elbowed her in the ribs. “Oh, yeah, and I just love Earth, Ocean, and Candle... um, flame. Yep, one of my favs.”
With a smile, Oz squatted down by the records. “Sorry,” Buffy whispered to Willow. “It's just...” She waved vaguely in the air over the sound of Kalimba, ooh Kalimba, play me a tune.
“Hey, if you like this, wait till you hear King Crimson.” Oz held up an album that was covered with the face, of a screaming man, done up in shades of red.
Buffy gulped and looked longingly towards the door.
