This is part of the Amnesty!verse, but you can get what's happening without reading that if you want. Enjoy!
After the Dance A/X 500 words PG13
The sky was just beginning to show the signs of false dawn when Xander finally let himself back in the mansion. Angel stayed where he was, looking into the fireplace but he had to admit that he was glad Xander was back. He knew very well how he could fall into a spiral of depression and Xander was one of the few people on earth that could pull him out of it.
Xander walked into the room looking exhausted, jacket over his shoulder and his tie and cummerbund removed already. “Man Deadboy, you sure know how to break up with a girl. I knew it was going to be bad, but Buffy just ate more chocolate in the past eight hours than I have all year. And seriously, look who that statement is coming from.”
Angel winced. “Is she…do you think she’ll be okay?”
Xander sat on the floor in front of the fire. “Not for a while, but if she ever realizes why you did it and lets go she’ll be okay. If she doesn’t…well I feel sorry for the next guy to come along, that’s all I’ll say.” Xander kicked off one shoe and then the other before picking one up and launching it into the air. Angel found himself ducking. “Asshole! You didn’t tell me you were leaving town! And here I thought we’d gotten to be friends and you pull shit like that!”
“Sorry. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I had to say something and I just blurted it out. Besides I really don’t think we can be in the same place right now.” He knew he sounded like he was making an excuse but it was the truth, mostly.
“This town isn’t big enough for the both of you, huh? That is so clichéd. You could have said something, while I was planning my trip at least. I kinda expected I’d come back from touring the States and find you gathering dust there in front of the fire. It’s kind of weird, not knowing where you’ll be.”
“I’m thinking I could do a lot of good in LA and if Buffy needs me I’ll be close. No matter what you’re welcome to stay here when you come back.”
“Thanks Angel, I might just do that.”
It was quiet between them for a while, something anyone else would find odd but it was happening more and more between them. A mutual companionship. Angel found himself wanting to break the silence. “That was nice…what you did for Cordy.”
Xander blushed. “Yeah, well the Prom wouldn’t be the event of the year without Queen C. Besides I owed her. Anyway I think I’m going to bed. Lots of plans to be made before Graduation Day. Night Angel. Don’t stay up too much longer.”
“Goodnight Xander.” Angel watched as Xander walked into his room and wondered when he’d fallen out of love with Buffy. And when he’d lost his heart to her White Knight.
