Creatures I Have Been: Xander
Getting my Goat Part 2
Xander had hoped the last conversation on how the pheromones he had in his wesen form would have caused Buffy to shut it down. It did not work, at all. Since Buffy assumed that she could power through whatever he had. Worse, when it got back to Oz and Cordelia, he had gotten a bit of the business from the latter. Wondering if he had used his pheromone on her, which made her want a testing. He had finally had enough.
"Fine, if you want to see the difference, I'll go without the Geruck Gland Repression Potion for a while." he told them as he got ready for the change. Of course, the recent thing with the Ted the Serial Killer Robot it was easier to go without the potion. So it not long before the pheromones started to flow again.
So as he walked in the school, it was a sudden change as all of the women in side started to see him in a new light.
In Sunnydale High...
Buffy was listening to her friend Willow talk about what their male friend's newly revealed condition, "So from what Xander and his book says, the pheromone supression potions should be wearing off any day now. The book basically says that a breeder has the power to become more attractive and charming, but if they touch you then you become theirs. Something involving the suggestibility element Xander told us about.
Those books on Wesen he gave us were interesting. Did you know there's a witch Wesen known as a Hexenbiest? They can make potions and some have weird powers."
"No, but that hadn't been one of the things I had to worry about as a Slayer. Or at least that I knew of. For all I know, half the people I know could have been Vensian from that Vougue stuff Xander says they can do." As she spoke, she felt something. For some reason she was feeling... perkier, happier then a moment ago. She noticed that a large part of the population of the hallway was looking at the entrance of the high school. A population made of women.
She couldn't stop smiling as the source of the attention of the ladies of the school, a hunky yummy dark haired man. She was half way to a fantasy when she realized that the sexy man was Xander. This didn't stop her from thinking of him less her Xander-shaped friend and more a Xander-shaped Hunk, no matter how she was fighting against it. It was getting worse as he approached her and he seemed to be getting better and better looking.
Turning to look at Willow, the redhead had a goofy grin on her face as she looked at Xander coming in. Cordelia and her Cordettes were looking at him with the same kind of hunger as the rest of them. Xander then stopped before them, and said, "I'm guessing you're believe what I told you. Turns out going cold turkey from my medicine might enhance the effects even if I'm not sweaty."
Willow giggled a little bit, while Buffy had to supress the same kind of action. While she could supress the urge to flirt or start touch Xander, she couldn't put on a smile and an 'interested' look at him. Feeling heat in places she normally felt only for... for...
'It's not Xander. I know it isn't Xander no matter how much I keep thinking it is. He's ;ole Xander, but old. Really old... and stuff.' The image of her dating a older, more decayed Hans Moleman with a bad combover held by smelly hair gel came to mind. Which made her ask, 'Why was I dating someone like that when I can date someone like Xander?'
But she stopped and shook her head as she realize the pheromones must be messing with her head and perception. What made it worse was trying to resist those changes. She wonder how worse someone normal like Willow was handling...
"Willow, breath. Remember to breath." said Xander, as he looked at their other friend.
"Kay," was her nearly breathless sighing voice, which when the blond looked at her, she saw the other girl was had glazed over eyes. She was smiling in a blissed out state.
Xander looked up and said with a tired tone, "Class is going to start soon. Best get ready, since this is going to be a long day."
Willow nodded, and Buffy tried to pull herself away to get ready for her first couple of classes.
Later...
While she had classes with Xander, she had moments when she wasn't as close to him. Which seemed to cause some of the fog from the pheromones to lift, enough to start to remember Angel wasn't a Moleman. Still, there seemed to be enough to keep Xander seeming sexier then Angel. It depended on how close she was to Xander and where she was. Since the vents seemed to care some of the smell, or so she guessed from her reactions.
During some free time she had left to speak to Giles about it. She told him, "It's like those ads or stuff where a man gets a love potion and suddenly women were all over him. Xander was suddenly handsomer and more interesting then anyone else. I could tell nothing had changed except what I thought about him. I didn't think his stink was suppose to be this strong."
"The thing is we have only the books Xander gave us on how the Ziegevolk pheromones work, as well as the various potions which affect it. You also have to factor in the Hellmouth and related effects. Primal possessions, chaos spells, any other number of effects... we can guess what it could do to a normal human or Slayer, but one of these Wesen? You basically have two biologies, two bodies, which could be different from each other.
The only thing I was happy about when you convinced Xander to do this experiments was the information and ideas which he left us. Hopefully we might be able to avoid much of the potential problems which can come from this. The fact we have the subpression potion in case we need it, as well as some techniques to clear people's heads should help." answered Giles, reassuring Buffy they hopefully had things under control. Or as much as they could in Sunnyhell.
"The only other fear is the affect on the night population. Many of them have enhanced senses, especially smell. In fact, I was theorizing the effect Xander suggested his relatives had on Slayers might have due to enhanced senses. Most records mention both sight and sound as being enhanced, but scent could have been enhanced as well. Hopefull, we might not have the... extreme effects he also suggested." The British man brought up the more awkward elements of the last conversation they had on the topic.
"Hopefully a cold shower will stop that... a couple of cold showers. Maybe more. Till then, we have to keep an eye on Xander to keep him from luring in the wrong type of woman." continued the blond woman as she wonder where her brown haired friend was. And how much trouble he was getting in.
Elsewhere in the High School...
Cordelia had been dating/not-dating Xander for a while, since the Bugman Assassin they had faced, even if she saw him in a new light since Halloween. When she found out he was son of Goatboy with a love cologue built in, she was suspectious of whether he had used it on her. Her questioning him on that had helped push him to show the power of his smell.
She was not expecting the wave which hit her when he had came in the morning. It wasn't as much a turning Jojo the Dogface Boy into Brad Pitt, but he could see his good looks better. He also seemed to pull in all of her attention, like he was in some kind of spotlight in the middle of a bull's eye.
The worst part was her 'friends', who kept putting Xander down was starting to discuss how 'doable' Xander was. Even in the same tacky clothes, they didn't seem to focus on that. Looking at him with hungry eyes, when without the pheromones they would have considered him as less then nothing.
'The only thing it seems to do to me is make it hard to focus on his problems, to focus on him and his good points,... and making me so fucking horny. If they could bottle that stuff they could make a mint on the cure for frigidness. Xander also said the female version worked on men, which means we would have a cure limp dick as well.' thought the cheerleader as she watched as her friends argued who was better with Xander, inching to bithfight. Whether physical or just verbal, was left to be seen.
'Still, I am making sure that I and everyone else see this. They dump on me for the rumors about me and Xander, trying to convince me to say they aren't true. And if they are true, to dump him. It was getting harder and harder to disagree with them, even if I want to tell them to shut it. Now that they are fighting over him, it makes it much easier to shut them up about Xander. Maybe I should make it official, just to show them their place while I can crush them?'
Author's note:
Playing with this. Not sure if this is a keeper. But I gave reasons why things might be off. We have seen how things get out of control on the Hellmouth, even the normal laws of physics. Any opinions on where to go next for our Goat chapters?
My other options I am thinking about is either a Canine or Feline Wesen (Wolves, Dogs or Cats, Big Cats). Or something called Heartless, if you can guess the fairy tale and the Wesen.
Enjoy.
