Xander looked at Angel, standing next to him, waiting for Willow's plane to land on the private airstrip. For some reason, that Xander couldn't quite remember, he had agreed to go on a date with Angel tomorrow night, with the stipulation, that it not be obvious to the others that it was a date.

Angel looked at Xander, standing next to him, waiting for Willow's plane to land on the private airstrip. He was amazed that Xander had agreed to go out with him tomorrow. Xander had seemed pretty amazed, too. The boy had quickly added a condition, that they couldn't make it obvious to the others that it was a date.

While Angel and his demon both wanted to lay claim to Xander, he knew that the only way he would ever be able to claim the boy as his own, was if he used caution and had patience.

So, they were going out on a date, which meant, according to Xander's explanation, that there was a chance for intimacy, on some level, with Xander at the end of the evening.

Angel took an unneeded breath to calm himself down at that thought.

"Just because we're going out tomorrow, doesn't guarantee you're going to get nooky." Xander said, out of nowhere.

Damn, the boy is pretty good at reading my thoughts.

"I don't just give it up on the first date. At least, not anymore." Xander informed him.

Angel growled, "Not anymore?"

"Well, Faith and I weren't exactly on a date. And Anya just kinda showed up and said we needed to have sex and since we went to the prom together, it was sort of a second date. And all my other first dates tried to kill me. So, I've vowed that I have to survive the first date, at least, before I even think about sleeping with someone." Xander explained, once again, pretending that his logic, resembled earth logic.

Angel reeled at the information that had just been babbled out at him. "Xander, are you saying you've only slept with two women in your entire life? And all the other women you've gone out with have tried to kill you?"

"Well, I went out with this one girl and her ex-boyfriend tried to kill us both."

That sounds fairly normal, Angel thought.

"Of course, her ex was a giant worm at the time, so….."

Damn, I 'spoke' too soon.

"Back to the, you've only slept with two women, part." Angel said.

"Oh, well, I had a whole lotta sex with Anya, and Faith, for that matter. So, I'm not exactly inexperienced, cause, you know, Anya and Faith, very inventive women. I just haven't had sex with a whole lot of different women." Xander babbled.

Angel really didn't want to hear about His Boy's sex life, especially since it didn't involve him, yet. Wait a minute…."Faith! I thought you just slept together once?"

"Well, she had sorta hooked up with this guy in Sunnydale, Robin Wood. You know, the son of one of the slayers that Spike killed?" At Angel's affirmative nod, Xander continued, "Well, he got hurt pretty bad during the final battle, and we thought he was going to be okay, but while he was in the hospital, he had a pulmonary embolism and died. She took it pretty hard and she needed a friend, and I had just lost Anya, so it just kinda happened. For 6 days. Straight. But, then we decided to just be friends. I love her, but, not in that way and I didn't want to be in another relationship that was based solely on sex, you know. And she deserves to be loved, and in love. She said she didn't have a lot of friends and didn't want to lose her closest one, because of something stupid like hormones. So, it all worked out and she and I are really good friends now. Probably, one of my best friends. In fact, I might tell her about our outing tomorrow, cause she wouldn't tell anybody. She might tease us unmercifully, but she wouldn't tell."

Angel stared as his boy stopped to take a breath, as Xander had barely breathed during that whole explanation.

"Okay, so no longer sleeping with Faith, right?"

"Right." Xander confirmed.

"It's a date."

"Huh?"

"You called it an outing, tomorrow, it's a date."

"Yeah, it's a date. Don't worry, it's not likely that I'll forget." Xander replied.

Angel smiled smugly. Then he reviewed what Xander had said about Faith and something jumped out at him. "SIX days STRAIGHT!"

Xander smirked at Angel. "What? She has slayer stamina and I'd been trained by Anya."

Six. Days. Straight. How the hell? I'm not sure I can go that long. I'll have to though, won't I? Damn right I will, no slayer is going to outlast me. I'll just have to go for seven. You know, assuming I ever get the chance.

"Oh look, Willow's plane is landing." Xander pointed out.
