I'm a great big ho for Giles denying himself. Rowr.

And I like the demon puppy. I foresee Xander bringing it home.

S.

Right there with you on the Giles denying himself. Heh. As for Xander bringing home the demon, he'd have a hard time of it, since it's so damned big. Heh.

Thank you, sweetie. :D

You did an excellent job describing Giles holding himself in check, struggling to keep his hands and emotions to himself. Xander finally having to push the matter was believable. There's no way the Giles you've written would make the first move.

You're right about Giles, he definitely wouldn't have made the first move. But now that Xander did, who knows what'll happen next. ;)

Thank you!

But he would see the boy--man, almost a man--bent over books and be sorely tempted to run a hand through soft, brown curls. He would, if he dared, rest his hand on Xander's warm neck afterwards, his head bent down to see what the boy had found.

Okay, this just made me melt. Wow with the imagery. You showed the yearning so very well.

Oh, and this:

Giles' hand was burning, the feel of Xander's skin, his stubble ingraining itself into Giles' palm. He lifted his other hand and curled it around the back of Xander's neck, pulling him forward. With a soft smile for Xander, Giles pressed his lips to the boy's forehead, staying a little longer than strictly necessary. When he pulled back, hands never leaving Xander's skin, Xander was smiling too.

Lovely, just lovely.

Thank you for posting!
