The Boy Next Door: Great Chewing Complacency


Xander was doing quite a bit better academically and was on track to graduate with the rest of his class. He'd changed his electives to try and get an idea of what he might be interested in after high school. Art and photography didn't quite hold his attention and so he tried out the woodshop class. He discovered that he loved working with his hands and building something others could enjoy.

He spent time in Ethan's shop, studying different antique pieces to see what designs he liked and which ones he could replicate. The older Englishman was more than willing to help the young man learn about different styles and pieces, even going so far as to invite Xander on trip to look for new items for the shop. The shop owner was amazed at the sable-haired boy's ability to pick out the best pieces. Xander seemed to innately find quality work with solid wood and intricate detailing. Ethan went so far as to offer Xander a place to work at the house after graduation for his own pieces. If they were as good as the older man expected, he'd sell them in his shop for the boy.

Giles moving in had a positive affect on all the men in the house. They were all happy to stay in to watch a movie or play cards after a satisfying dinner. Giles had insisted on letting Xander have his friends over every so often. It was nice for Xander to get some guy time in with Jesse, watching brainless action flicks like Alien Versus Predator or Transformers, yelling at the tv and tossing popcorn all over. Plus he got snuggle time with his girls watching cute chick flicks like 50 First Dates or Elizabethtown.

Spike gave the young boy a lot of his attention, especially when Xander still needed study help. The older boy had some harder classes that required some actual study and homework time, but he always made time when Xander asked.

Xander's counselor was amazed at the change and had begun to discuss college with the overwhelmed boy. He had never considered college before, always simply concerned about simply getting out of high school with more than a 2.0 grade point average. Now, however, higher education seemed an actual possibility.

But first he needed to pass the Exit Exam. It only took him two tries. It wasn't that the test was that hard, but he'd fallen asleep halfway through the math portion of the test the first time. It really wasn't his fault, he'd been so nervous the night before, Spike had decided to help Xander relax and study with a reward system that involved blow jobs and nipple clamps.

Xander had studied late into the night.

Too late, as it turned out. He had slept so hard that he drooled all over the test sheet and it wouldn't even read in the machine.

He did, however, pass the test with flying colors on his second try, rewards system or not.

Everything was going well. They were happy, healthy and whole. They all played their part, playing it safe and laying low, and no one rocked the boat. Xander thought there was nothing that could destroy their happy home.

Until the day the police officers showed up at their door.

Tbc...

Ok, another "Dun, dun, dun!!!!" Sorry. *g*
