I hear my window knocked on as I get ready for bed. When I look at Angel I sigh.
"it's been a few days since I saw you last so...Hi"
"Hi Angel"
"May I come in" He gestures towards my room. I nod my head in reply as I step back to give him room I'm trying not to look at his concerned expression. "What the matter Xan?"
"Were friends right?" I see him make a face as I peek up at him.
"Yes I hope so or watched a lot of tv for nothing. He smiled before adding " Especially animal house that deserves friendship." I smiled at the memory of his facial expression when that guy shot the potatoes from his mouth.
" I guess that does deserve friendship"
"So as friends your going to tell me what's wrong" He sits done at the edge of my bed Legs crossed and face propped in his hands. God he so patient it's unsettling sometimes.
"A few days ago Willow did a spell which of course went terribly wrong...Everybody started to well be very...(sigh) Honest. Buffy ended up pointing out some things to me well things that involve...certain feelings." Angels eyebrows furrowed. "About me and how I care about you."The last part was said so quickly that it took a moment for him to translate. He stood up in earnest but as soon as he moved I put my hand. Much and surprisingly to my disappointment he sat down. "I can't be more than that. Because when they 'remove the spell you'll um not like me as much."
"There isn't one."
"Fine when they remove the figment of my imagination love spell..."
"Xander I promise my feelings for you are real and I'll settle just for friends."
"Friends nothing more?" I put out my hand for a handshake to seal the deal. He shook my hand gently then at the end griped.
"But when it proves there is no spell will you gives us a try." He was looking at me dead in the eye as I nodded in agreement.
...
"So what's the grapevine up to today?"I catch up to my bested buddies and wrap both arms around them.
"Well hello to you too Xander your awfully chipper today."Buffy says with interest something she lacked up until Willows spell at which after wards we were able to come to terms with how we were dealing with the spell.
"Let me guess mystery meat day?"My little red headed friend asks.
"Nope no more mystery meat day not with what happened last meat day with the head in mystery meat (story for another time) in all I'd say I'd go all herbivores like but I like me jerky."
"Mmmmm it's Friday?" Buffy interjected.
"Its drum roll please ladies."My girls make the drumming motions. "Movie night!"I say gleefully. But the naive children that they are don't get it. So I shake my head and explain. "Guy movie night, guts, horror, action, masculinity, and because Angel is slightly feminine a French film which means subtitles."
"But you usually like those Japanese ones there subtitled" Willow says
"I put my hand on her shoulder...samurai or ninja movies." I turn to walk away from my friends doing impressions of ninja moves obviously.
Buffy pov:
I quirk my eyebrow at Willow and she turns to me and says. "I think it's healthy for Xander to hang out with Angel still...he's a guy and does guy stuff...and were girls that must be hard cuz we do you know girl stuff.."
...back to the Xan Man...
"Die hard,mission impossible, better off dead, and something I can't possibly pronounce let's watch that one." I turn to Angel.
"How about the one you can't pronounce."Then he of course in perfect French he said the movie title.
"Are you making fun of me?"
"Would friends do that.?"
"yes absolutely."
"Well the. yes I am." He looked so proud of himself as a he popped a piece of popcorn in his mouth. I gotta admit the man has large yet dainty hands...any who..
"So you speak French?"
"Yes I happened to pick it up. Hate the French though snobby little shits always ne pas this or ne pas that."
"Well I guess that makes since you being the scourge and all."
" Yep still hate the French love the Swedes though."
"So why do you like French films?"
"There beautifully and charismatic films." I couch into my shirt."Ya I know masculinity, I'll be right back."
"Guy movie night remember?"
"Ya I know masculinity, be right back."
"Were you going?" Angel rose from the couch and headed over to his hobbit size kitchen.
"Kitchen."
"Did I forget something for the movies?"
"No...Just going to drink some dinner..."
"You can bring it out here."
"I Don't want to gross you out." Angel frowned.
"No go ahead I mean about the drinking blood part not the grosing me out par." I hastily added."Were friends so as friends we don't judge each other were all kinds of excepting so you wanna bring out the fangs do ahead get comfy."
"Xander?"
"Ya?"
"Oh well if you just drank you're blood this wouldn't have happened."
"Touche."
