Content: It's a BtVS story actually, but with A/C implied, of course. B/S and X/A, too.
Summary: Xander is stunned by some news
Spoilers: None really, or season 6 of BtVS...
Disclaimer: The characters in the Angelverse were created by Joss Whedon & David Greenwalt. No infringement is intended, no profit is made.
Distribution: Anyone can have it. But it's polite to ask.
Notes: Unfortunatelly, there's been a lot of A/C bashing lately. But most importantly, some people have been bashing us A/Cers just because we don't share some of their ideas. Talk about lack of tolerance!
Well, this story is not attempt to be nasty to anyone. Believe me, I can be a bitch when I want to. But this is just not worth it. It's just for fun, and it's a TV show, for God's sake.

"Oh my God", Xander said after he hanged up the receiver. He was pale and he had a shocked expression.
"What happened?", Anya asked as he ran towards him and held him tightly.
"It's Angel", he trailed off with his gaze lost in some imaginary point somewhere in the most distant wall of the Magic Box.
"What happened to Angel?", Buffy and Willow asked with worry at the same time.
"Angel…", Xander said again. "And Cordelia…", he finished. He shook his head in an attempt to get out of his surprised state.
"Xander, what happened?", Buffy asked again, this time even more worried.
"They are…", Xander began.
"Dead?", Spike interrupted him.
"No… a couple", Xander finally said.
"A couple of what?", Anya asked.
"Just a couple. Boyfriend and girlfriend? Husband and wife?", he wondered out loud.
"They got married?", Willow said with surprise.
"Why didn't they invite us to the wedding?", Buffy protested.
"No, they are not married. I mean, they are just a romantic type of couple", Xander said irritated by everyone's interruptions. "And they are doing it", he added.
"Doing what?", Anya looked up from the magazine she was reading.
"SEX, Anya! SEX!", Xander shouted.
"Now? Here? You know, you shouldn't ask me in front of everyone", she whispered.
"Not us! Angel and Cordelia have sex together!", Xander bursted. His face was read and his eyes wide opened.
"Ewww. Isn't that like incest or something?", Anya frowned.
"Incest? Like in a brother and sister kind of thing?", Buffy asked her.
"Yeah…", Anya said.
"Please! There hasn't been anything brotherly between Angel and Cordelia since… ever! Besides Cordelia thought he was a hottie the minute she laid eyes on him", Willow smiled and Buffy nodded.
"Did you know about this?", Xander asked them. They didn't seem surprised by the news.
"We saw it coming", Buffy said.
"Yes, Wesley called a couple of weeks ago. He wanted to ask me something about a preservation spell. He was reluctant to say why he was interested in that spell, but eventually he explained they were trying to preserve Angel's soul because Angel was having… "A hard time" around Cordelia", Willow gave everyone the details.
"So the spell was made in order to let Angel and Cordelia have sex?", Xander questioned Willow. "And you helped them?". The witch only nodded. He walked closer to her and whispered: "And what about Buffy?".
"What about Buffy?", Buffy asked since she heard him. "I don't see why you are having such a hard time accepting the fact that Angel and I are not gonna happen ever again. I've moved on. So has he. Why would I have anything to say about that", Buffy laughed.
"You really mean that?", Xander asked her.
"Yeah. And I'm glad Willow helped them. Because I really do care about Angel and I'd hate to go to LA to stake him because he had turned into Angelus", Buffy assured him.
"So, basically, everyone's happy", Anya said clapping her hands.
"Apparently, Angel is the happiest", Spike remarked. Xander gave him a cold look.
"What?", Spike asked him. "With a girl like that… only an idiot would blow a chance like that", Spike continued. "Oh, wait… you did…", he laughed, pointing at Xander.
"Do you have a problem with it, Xander?", Anya asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Me? No! It's just… Cordelia and Angel… doing it!".
"They must have sound proofed the room", Buffy laughed.
"Boy, you've really moved on", Xander noticed after her funny remark.
"Didn't I just told you that?", Buffy said as if stating the obvious. Xander could be really dense sometimes, she thought.
"But you don't even have a boyfriend right now. How can you be taking this so well?, Anya asked her.
"Oh… well… I'm kinda… seen someone, actually", Buffy confessed.
"Who? Tel us! You have to tell us!, Anya commanded her.
"It's sort of new. I'd rather not tell much about it", Buffy said.
"Oh, please? You can tell us anything!", Willow was almost begging her.
"Guys, please… I'll tell you when the time is right", Buffy told them.
"Oh, come on, Slayer. Don't leave them all intrigued like that. Tell them", Spike encouraged her. Buffy panicked and didn't say a word, despite that all the eyes were on her.
"Oh, ok, I'll tell them!", Spike said. "She's with me. Buffy and I are a couple", he stated proudly.
The scoobies looked at him for a second and then bursted into laughs.
"As If!", Anya said.
"Keep dreaming", Xander laughed.
"Yes, Good one, Spike"; Willow patted his shoulder. The three left the Magic Box laughing as loud as they could.
"It's true! I swear!!!", Spike shouted though the door.
"Shh… keep your strength", Buffy whispered in his ear as she lead him by the hand towards the back of the store.

End.
