Walk Away (Fall Again) | 2/3 | 615 words soft_princess October 9 2008, 12:16:56 UTC

PART I

Xander could have, if he'd really wanted to, run away far enough that Giles couldn't have followed him. A trip to South America, for example, wasn't all that difficult now that he had a company credit card and a boss who wouldn't question Xander's need to see his best friend.

At least not to his face.

As it was, Xander only walked down the street to the park around the corner. He sat down on a bench, opposite a bunch of pigeons who scrambled away from him. It was almost twilight already and there were few people on the street. Xander barely noticed the stragglers hurrying home. He stared at the pigeons, heart hammering in his chest.

Every attempt he made at reconstructing his wall of denial was a failure; a complete, well, failure. Giles and his smile and... he'd said home. Home. Home.

Home.

It was home, and that, that was... surprising ( ... )

Oooh! And you added another part. I like when things grow. It gives me more Giles/Xander-goodness!

Yay for Xander taking the chance and kissing him!

Thank you! And yes, I do like when things grow too. It's always fun to see where they take us. :D

That was lovely. I love the progression throughout the years, and you definitely had me grinning there at the end. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I felt like I was wrestling the prompt during the writing of it, so it's very nice to know that it works!

I think you've been doing a wonderful job with all the prompts so far, and especially this one. I could definitely see the progression there, and it was very nicely done.
