“Giles, can I ask you something?” Xander asked, playing with a pen as he stared at the pad of paper before him. Giles looked up from his own book, the only two who were there to study up on the newest threat and how to take care of it, and raised an eyebrow.
“Go ahead,” he said, nodding his head as Xander put the pen down and stood up to walk to the coffee maker that had just finished making some fresh coffee for them. Pouring a cup, he stirred the drink as he leant against the wall.
“What did I do to make the girls hate me so much? I mean, me and Oz fixed the dislike between us and we’re…on some odd level of like, getting past the whole Willow and me kissing. And of course, we’ve gotten past that to and you hating me, which is always nice,” Xander babbled, Giles waiting for him to get through it before he answered. “But the girls…it’s like I’m just not worth it, not worth anything and they hate that I’m around so often.”
“I think they just can’t stand that you are…a normal male. No powers, no special training, no nothing but courage and a need to protect those that need to be protected,” Giles said as Xander once more sat down, staying away from the books with the drink so he didn’t spill anything on it.
“Man,” Xander sighed, shaking his head with a frown. “I’m just a guy trying to do what’s right and I’m spit upon. Bull shit.”
“Yes, indeed.”
