He and Sam after their conversation in Sam's room, had gone down to the library almost immediately afterward. It had been really awkward at first but then he had just gone into research mode, and blocked everything else out but the book in front of him at the moment. They spent hours like that before Xander's stomach reminded him that he had skipped breakfast loudly. Sam didn't seem to notice. Xander closed his book.
"I'm going to get some lunch. You want something to eat?"
"Not hungry." he looked up after a long moment and added. "Thanks though."Xander decided not to push it this time, he would push him if he didn't give into dinner. He made his way back up the 18th floor hoping the offer to eat the cold pizza from last night was still on the table. He knocked on the door and Willow answered it.
"Xander are you okay?" she asked concerned. She ushered him into the kitchen and had him sit down at the table and sat down herself across from him.
"I came to see if the offer for the pizza is still open." Willow smiled and got up from the table, went to the fridge, got a plate with a few pieces of pizza on it which she sat down in front of Xander.
"Yeah Lindsey wanted to eat it but I saved it for you." Xander purposefully ate the pizza slowly knowing that once he was done eating the onslaught of questions would come. But soon he was out of pizza and the time had come to talk.
.
"Xander." she didn't have to say anything, her tone said everything. She wanted to know what the answer was.
"We're brothers." he said with a strange slightly hysterical laugh.
"How are you doing with that?" she said in very Willow way.
"I honestly don't know. I have a brother, two brothers. I have a brother in Purgatory I've never seen except for his murder video made by his Leviathan double. I have another one who is very determined to find his brother. We talked this morning though, and he seemed to make an effort. I volunteered myself to help with the search and …I don't know anything other than that." he said.
"You've had a very eventful night, week, month." Xander closed his eyes, he did not want to think about the beginning of all of this, his mother's death. It had only been a little over a month since her death.
"I know you don't like talking or even thinking about it, I mean that's why you jumped on this whole find my brother's thing but since you found them-"
"Willow don't." Xander said tiredly.
"I'm not trying to hurt you Xander, it's just you can't hide from it forever."
"I know that!" he shouted, then winced.
"Sorry." he mumbled. "Can we not talk about my mom?" he asked. Willow sighed but nodded.
"For now." she said. "But this isn't over mister." she said using her resolve face.
"Yeah I know." he said quietly. The door opened and Lindsey and Rebecca came in. Lindsey saw him and shouted.
"Uncle Xander!" he smiled as she rushed towards him, no animation lost from yesterday. How had everything that had happened yesterday have only taken one day? It seemed like it should have taken much longer.
"You're back and awake." she said excitedly.
"I can't stay long Lindsey." he said apologetically, he had to get back to researching.
"Aw!" she said crestfallen.
"I'll be back." he said.
"Promise." she asked.
"Promise." he said smiling back at her.
"Okay."she said slightly happier.
"I just have to ask your mom something then I'm going to go."
"Okay." he turned to face Willow and he lowered his voice and asked.
"Willow in case we don't find anything-"
"I've already started looking into it." she interrupted.
"Thanks Willow you're the best." he smiled and made his way back to the library, where if Sam had moved a single inch since he had left he couldn't tell. Xander sat back down in the chair he had vacated and got back to work.
