Summary: Xander experiences the Blessed Protector.
Warnings: nope.
Timeline/Setting: Set about couple years after Chosen and a couple into The Sentinel (the final never happened) and a few hours after yesterday's story.
Author's notes(if any): nope. It’s fanfic…. Cue hand waving for ages and dates of characters.
After being released from the hospital Giles headed toward his office. He was left alone in there except for when “The Origonals” dropped in for some reason. Seeing a folded piece of paper on his desk Giles opened it to read a handwritten note. Leaning back in the large comfortable desk chair he thought then picked up the phone and dialed.
“Detective Ellison. I'm Rupert Giles.”
”Xander's here. He flew in and I picked him up from the airport. We just got home and he fell asleep as soon as he sat on the sofa.”
“Thank you. We had an eventful night here the night before last and I just got released from the hospital after being knocked unconscious and a concussion. I came home to a note from Xander saying he had left on another try at a road trip. I wasn't sure what his plan would be but I thought I would try you first. I think he might have hurt his leg or something. I heard he was limping.”
“He was limping a bit and wasn't sure if it was from sitting on the flight here. What happened for him to be injured and you to end up in the hospital?”
“Caught in the middle of a territory dispute between clans. Jim, Xander lately has been restless about his job here and is there really a place for him here, where he can thrive like Buffy and Willow have, or if he would be able to find something for him out in the world.”
”I know that feeling. He is welcome to stay here and I'll make sure he gets checked out for injuries.” Thanks for calling Giles. Take it easy yourself.”
Xander woke up feeling wrapped up and not remembering falling asleep like that he started to worry until he realized the noise near him was Blair talking.
“Xander! You're fine. You fell asleep and Jim found out about your sprained ankle. He set it on a pillow and wrapped the rest of you like a blanket burrito.”
Blair looked down from where he was sitting on the arm of the sofa next to Xander's head. “I'm thrilled you decided to visit but showing up injured and possibly not getting it checked out by a doctor you now get to see Jim being all Blessed Protector how he gets when someone he cares for gets hurt.”
“Sandburg the food is getting delivered now. Can you go down and pick it up?” Jim called over from the balcony windows.
After Blair closed the door on his way to the building entrance Jim sat on the edge of the sofa and uncovered Xander's shoe less feet. “What he didn't tell you was that I have a bigger level of Blessed Protector when it's Blair that is hurt and it feels like I'll have a similar reaction to you getting hurt. So don't plan on doing anything until you're healed up.”
“So I'll couch potato until you say otherwise. I can do that.” Xander said nodding.
