summary: Jean-Paul wants to know why is boyfriend is acting out of sorts.



Jean-Paul was concerned. Xander had been acting odd when he’d seen him earlier. His ready smile and jokes had been replaced with a distant sort of melancholy. He gave Xander space for a short period of time, but Jean-Paul found that it only made him dwell. He knew he’d done nothing wrong, so something was obviously wrong with his boyfriend.

He found Xander collapsed on the couch listlessly watching a movie. He’d had enough, with crossed arms and a sneer he asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Xander glanced at him, then back to the screen, “Remembering Anya. Today would’ve been our anniversary.”

Jean-Paul’s annoyance deflated. He had those days too. He sat and Xander snuggled in close. He looked at the cartoon creatures on the screen, “What is this?”

“Over the Hedge, she loved it because of all the rabbit torture.”

Jean-Paul raised an eyebrow. Xander gave him the first smile he’d seen all day, “She had rabbit fear. She thought they were evil.”

Jean-Paul nodded, that made sense, in a way. Then he kissed Xander and settled back, they’d get through this day together, “Makes sense. They’re too cute, obviously they’re plotting evil.”

Xander smiled and agreed.
