Summary: Xander is nervous




Spike woke up and immediately noticed that something was wrong, Xander wasn't beside him like he was supposed to be. With his good hearing he was able to hear noises from the living room. After a quick look at the clock he got up from the warm bed very reluctantly but also curious. He walked to the living room with bleary eyes and found his mate to be sitting there in front of the computer and doing something with a very intense look on his face. A small worry niggled in Spike's mind. Was Xander having doubts? They were supposed to head for LA the next evening as soon as the sun went down. Xander should be resting since the following days would be straining.

"Pet, is something wrong? Why aren't you in bed?"

"I couldn't sleep. Too nervous."

"You should rest. You are going to need all your strength when we go to LA."

"I know but just couldn't sleep. I promise that I will come back to bed soon. Just need to finish this battle."

Only then Spike directed his attention to the computer screen. It was quite obvious that Xander was playing some game but Spike couldn't identify it.

"What are you playing?"

"Master of Orion. It's an old game but it has helped me to unwind in the past so I decided to try it now too."

Spike followed the game for a while but he couldn't help the niggling fear in his mind. Why was Xander so nervous? Of course mating was a big thing but they had talked about it and it had seemed Xander was alright with everything it involved. Was he having regrets after all?

"Um, pet? Why are you nervous?"

Xander sighed. He could clearly hear the uncertainty in Spike's voice. They had gone through this several times already but it seemed Spike still couldn't believe that Xander really wanted to be his mate. That he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. He hit the pause button on the game, got up from the chair and faced Spike. He cupped the vampire's face with his palms and forced him to look straight at him.

"Spike. For the last time. I'm not having doubts. I do want to be your mate. There is nothing I want more. I'm just nervous because me and Deadboy have never really gotten along. He has a big part in this and according to what you've told me and what I've read he can deny his blessing from us." A small smile crept onto Xander's face. "And of course there is the fact that I need to bend over for him and even the thought of that makes me want to hide somewhere." He got serious again. "But the main thing is that I love you and nothing will change that. Tomorrow we are going to be mated for the rest of our life."

Spike could see the truth in Xander's eyes. He had no words so he just wrapped his arms around his boy and hugged him tight. They stayed like that for a while before letting go. Spike still pressed a kiss on Xander's lips.

"Pet, I promise I will take good care of you. Angel won't deny his blessing from us. I've talked about this with him and convinced him of how important this is for me. I know you've had your problems in the past. Hell, I've had my problems with him. I'm sure everything will go fine. You ready to go back to bed already?"

"I still haven't finished the battle but I guess bed is a good idea. I'm sure we can come up with something to take my mind of tomorrow and the nervous thoughts I have."

The smirk Xander gave Spike told very clearly what kind of activities the boy had in his mind. Spike had absolutely nothing against that suggestion and they raced back to the bedroom to fulfill those plans.

You really use dialogue well here. The detail and the dialogue really make this moment so very clear in my mind.

Your Xander voice is nice - that clear annunciation he does when he is being firm, or reassuring. Mind, bending over for Angel... I'm not surprised he has some nervous qualms. *g*
