Summery: Spike cast a spell on Angel to distract him while he and Dru have some fun in Sunnyhell. The spell has made Angel fall head over heels for Xander. The problem is that to break the spell Xander must sleep with Angel. If the spell is not broken it will cause Angel to rape him.
Pairing: Angel/Xander SLASH
Spoilers/setting: High school
Warning: mega angst. Buffy bashing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How fucked up could his life become? The last three months had gone from bad to worse. Things had started to go wonky when stupid Deadboy's stupid childer came to town. To ensure that the slayerettes would stay off their back, Spike and Drusilla had cast a spell on their father. And it had worked, no one gave a damn about what they were doing. The spell had caused Angel to fall head over fangs in love with the boy. Buffy didn't see a foot in front of her face. She was busy giving the object of her boyfriend's affection dirty looks and moping. Mean while Giles and Willow spent every waking hour trying to find a cure for Angel. Why in God's name had Spike singled Xander out? The Zeppo, loser boy was never looked at twice. Perhaps Spike thought it would be fun to make his sire fall in love with an idiot.
And yes, while all that was bad, it got worse. The night before Angel had come to the Harris' front lawn in the wee hours of the morning to serenade Xander with Barry Manilow songs. First of all Angel couldn't sing, the cats of the region had sang back up for him. Secondly the neighbors woke up and watched Angel, clapping and catcalling at the end, Angel actually thought they *had* enjoyed his musical talents. And finally, but certainly not least important of all the repercussions, Xander's dad had beaten the living shit out of him for finally confirming what the man had always feared: that his son was a "a little pathetic fag". The beating hadn't been that bad, not as bad as some in the past. Usually he got hit for things like causing his mother to have a heart attack, stealing, bringing infamy to the family. Xander wasn't responsible for any of these things and had taken the punishment in his stride. This was the first time a reprimand had burned, mainly because it was true. He had never expected his parents to throw him a coming out party but he had thought that they would eventually come to turns with it.
So he'd tried to kill Angel. But honestly, what else could he do? Buffy had walked into Angel's apartment in the middle and pulled them apart. She laid a whole guilt trip on Xander, "You're killing the man I love, blah blah blah, this hurts me more than it hurts you." It was all bullshit of course, she had no idea how much this was all hurting him. And then she'd dragged them back to the library to patch up Angel. That was when Giles had dropped the bomb shell: sleep with Angel now and break the spell, or leave it until the spell drove the vampire mad and he finally raped the boy. The salt rubbed into the wound was that Buffy pretty much told him that he owed her and *had* to sleep with her bf, that she would hate him if he didn't. Well bully for Buffy.
And now here he stood at Angel's doorstep about to seduce the man. He felt ill.
TBC
What do you think so far? This was kinda a sum up of the original plot. The only difference being that his was a light fluffy comedy where in Buffy didn't come off too badly. Anyway drop me a line and tell me if you like it.
