[Just as Faith is thinking of Buffy, Sayo's mind drifts to their own blond walking tragedy—or rather, their fantasies of her. Sayo has dreamed countless times of Jessica sweeping them off their feet like this, taking the initiative so that Sayo would never have to take a single step forward by themself.
And Sayo is so caught up in this daydream (nightdream? wait that didn't make sense either) that Faith leaning in to actually kiss them totally takes them by surprise. Sayo stiffens as Faith closes in, their brain totally lacking in any script to follow for this scenario, but by the time they process that it's already too late and-
Sayo is melting into Faith. They start hesitant, almost shy, before leaning in with a desperate hunger for intimacy that Faith might find unfortunately familiar. It's also clear that this is functionally their first kiss; even if you dismiss how clumsy they are and how that hunger is the only thing outweighing nervousness, there's an almost doe-like quality in how they jump and shiver at every new sensation, like a deer seeing spring for the first time.]
