Title: Mask of Denial
Prompt: Denial
Summary: All of the characters of BTVS had problems with denial.
This is my take on Xander’s denial.

Disclaimer: Not Joss, just me, no money, just love.
~~*~~
Xander still had moments when he felt guilty.
Every once in a while, he would notice Giles watching him.
Willow never once blamed him for his actions.
He was so cruel to her that day.
Buffy was so forgiving of her friends.
He really didn’t deserve her friendship or forgiveness.
He had vivid dreams of Buffy struggling under him.
Vivid dreams that ended very differently.
He would wake up with his heart pounding and his skin covered in sweat.
After those dreams, he would put on his mask of denial.
Once again, he was sweet, funny, donut eating Xander Harris.
