Chapter 2

Copyright Disclaimer: I own none of these characters or the Buffy universe. All material relating to Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel belong to Joss Wedon and WB. No copyright infringement is intended and I make no profit from this story.



Author's Note: I plan to play around with the time-line and canon events a little (to suit my own nefarious purposes! Mwhahah!) At this stage assume that everything is the same as canon up to Season 6, episode "Once More With Feeling" with the exception of Spike falling for Buffy (the thought just gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies!) Obviously I am planning to take some of the characters in very different directions to the canon so if something doesn't quite fit the canon time-line there is probably a reason for it (can we say "convienient plot device" people!?*Grin*)



Description: Xander finds himself being dumped by his fiance just weeks before the wedding and his friends too busy with their own lives to pay him much attention. Life sucks and now he finds himself thinking more and more about a certain bleached blond vampire.



Warnings: Slash/Homoerotic Relationship! (Xander/Spike) NC-17 rating for graphic bedroom & battle scenes. Possibly some Buffy & Willow bashing (as pertaining to the intended story line). Enjoy!



Part Two:



When Xander woke up it was dawn. He could hear the birds outside & watched the sky gradually lighten through the window. He sat up slowly & stretched, feeling his muscles protesting his choice of sleeping arrangements. All the events of yesterday came rushing back & he groaned. Why is it that whenever I seem to be on a good thing something always comes along to screw it up? I mean seriously, look at my track record! Hot female teacher shows interest in the Xan-man & becomes a giant preying mantis, a sexy exchange student makes a move & then turns out to be a centuries-old mummy girl, Cordy walking in on a ‘we’re-gonna-die-snog’ with Willow, the world of bad between me & Wills after that & now Anya leaving to test her orgasmic wings. Self-doubts assailed him as he sat in the early morning light of dawn in his silent apartment. Somehow he knew that Anya’s leaving was his fault, no matter what she said. Xander sighed as he rubbed his neck, working out some of the kinks that had developed during the night. Heaving another sigh he stood up & headed for the shower.



As he stood under the scalding spray, rivulets of water running into his eyes & down his chest, he recalled what had happened in the shower the day before & blushed. It is a good thing Anya didn’t know about that. Pissing off ex-vengeance-demon ex-girlfriend wouldn’t result in anything good. I just can’t work out why I was singing about Spike… He pondered for a minute …Nope. Still doesn’t make sense. He shrugged as he finished rinsing the soap off his body, oh well. I’m not going to worry about it now. I have enough problems to deal with, without deliberately making more. With that thought firmly in mind he stepped out of the shower & onto the cold tiles. Reaching for a towel he quickly dried himself off & headed into the bedroom. After throwing on some grey sweatpants & a t-shirt with too many moth holes to be considered decent, he poured himself some coffee & a bowl of Fruit-O’s & sat down at the kitchen table with a pad of paper & pen.



“Ok…Things I have to do…” Xander thought out loud. “Well first I’d better call around & cancel all the wedding plans…”His voice hitching as once again a huge sense of loss washed over him. He took a deep breath & continued. “I had better call the guests too. I sure hope Anya told her demon-friends ‘cause I am so not spending my morning trying to placate angry-demonic-would-be-wedding-guests…telling my family is going to be bad enough. I hope the wedding caterers will give me back at least some of the deposit.” He paused as he wrote his verbal musing down in list form. He swallowed a mouthful of coffee & went about inhaling his cereal. “Ok, next…I’ll call Willow & let her know that the wedding is off & get her to tell the rest of the Scoobies. After I’ve done that I’m going to call work & get tomorrow off so I can go on a self-pity bender to end all self-pity benders. I wonder if the liquor store is open on a Sunday morning?”



Thus armed with a plan Xander stood, downed the rest of his rapidly cooling coffee & put his breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink. Having done his domestic duty he picked up the phone & started making calls. After he had cancelled all the wedding plans & called the guests he phoned Willow.



“Uh Willow? Um…. Hi. Its Xander” Xander stuttered as Willow answered.



“Oh hi Xander.”



“Um…Anya-and-I-havebrokenup-and-Ineedyouto-telltheotherScoobies.” He spilled out in a rush. This was by far the hardest call he had made so far. He was hanging onto his composure by the thinnest thread & knew that the smallest show of sympathy would destroy him. As it turned out he needn’t have worried, Willow sounded distracted & a little…annoyed?



“Oh. Ok then. I’ll let Buffy know. She & I are having a girl’s night in tonight so I’ll tell her then. I gotta go Xander…We’ll talk later ‘kay?” And with that she hung up.



What the…? She didn’t even ask if I was ok. I mean, I know that Anya leaving me isn’t exactly end-of-the-world important but…damn! Once again his friends had made him feel all of 2 inches high. He knew they didn’t do it deliberately but it hurt anyway. Xander sighed and walked slowly back into his bedroom to change into some clothes which didn’t make him look like a hobo. After changing into some jeans & a sweater he grabbed his wallet off the hall-table & headed to the liquor store.
