[01-29-09] [Buffy the Vampire Slayer] In Passing
Title: In Passing
Day/Theme: Things shaped in passing.
Series: Buffy the vampire slayer.
Character: Xander.
Warnings: Takes place in season three, sometime after Lover's Walk. Spoilers: Season three. Season one finale.
Rating: PG-13.
Looking back, maybe it had been obvious. Ok, it really had been. He'd just been too dense to see it and now she had someone. Don't get him wrong, he'd never see her as anything more than a great wonderful best friend or a sister. Well, that wasn't exactly true or it hadn't been or maybe it still was in some small way.
All he knew, for a brief while, it had turned into something more. Maybe it was destiny or maybe their own consciousness or feelings but there it was. Maybe its the fact they would have been good for each other but that wasn't what they were looking for. They weren't looking for good, they were looking for more than that.
In passing, occasionally, he found himself wondering. Maybe if it was them regardless of hell mouthiness it would have worked. But than there was the significant others to consider and Xander maybe found himself more attached to Cordy than warranted but she had been his first girlfriend and that counted for something. Willow was in love was Oz and their little fling had more to do with the forbidden anyway.
Not that his relationship meant much anymore what with the ignoring and the glares and can he really blame her? But Oz and Willow were getting back together so maybe it was more of a gender thing or maybe they really weren't interested in each other that way to try.
The Willow thing had gotten out of hand granted and he'd been goading but . . . Maybe it was what Willow had needed to get over him but he had never really be interested, the spell thing notwithstanding but he had resisted that time; like with Buffy and wasn't that amazing considering she had been his crush since forever and hadn't he fallen in love with her?
[You're in love with her.]
But that's how Buffy was. And now Willow was added to that list.
Maybe it was time to find guy friends.
