Still in christmasy mood, I present

 

Xander Harris always liked mistletoe.

It offered him excuse to kiss girls, and there were times in his life when he really needed every excuse he could get.

Right now, the mistletoe hanging from Giles' living room celing was a big part of his master plan... a plan that was failing quite miserably.

He tried everything. Whining that he wanted tea only caused Willow to get up and do some for him.

Trying to point out a demon outside the window attracted only Buffy's attention, who dismissed it as a particlary weird snowman.

And the damned mistletoe hung there, green and annoying.

He kissed Buffy and Willow so many times now he stopped counting... and to think there were times when he would be so happy about this... Right now he just sat there, sipping his egg-nog and thinking nasty thoughts about stupid Watchers who couldn't get their ass form the chair and under the freakin' weed.

To sum up: one mistletoe weed hanging from the ceiling, one witch irritated by the number of times she had to kiss the Slayer, one Slayer pissed off by the number of kisses shared with the witch mentioned and a lack of any kissable guy, or vamp, or whatever... number of kisses shared with previously mentioned Watcher zero, zip, nada, none. Number of seriously depressed Xanders: one.

Number of... wait, what was Willow saying again?

"And I won't kiss Buffy anymore. No offence meant, Buff," she offered.

"None taken. I'm all for it. I mean, why do we have to put on the show for them?" she gestured both Giles and Xander. "We didn't get none."

The... what?

"Oh!" Willow squealed. "I think we should!"

Holey, moley, batman.

"What on earth do you mean, Willow?" Giles asked in a strangely quiet voice.

Instead of answering she jumped to her feet and reached for the mistletoe. Buffy observed her actions with amusement, Xander with growing fear and Giles... with an expression that was as Gilesy as ever. The witch quickly moved to stand behind the Watcher and hold the mistletoe over his head. Xander looked at it with wide eyes, deer-in-spotlight wannabe expression.

"What do you mean, Will?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"You two, kiss" she replied with alcohol-induced cheerfulness. "Wanna see."

Buffy nodded eagerly, reaching for peanuts bowl. "An on a lips, too. The rule" she reminded them happily.

"I don't see any way out of this, G-man" Xander offered nervously.

"Indeed" Giles leaned towards him. "And don't call me that" he whispered right before his mouth found Xander's, right before his tongue caressed the boy's bottom lip, like before his teeth nibbled on it...

Xander was lost in the sensation, and so he barely heard Buffy's 'eew' of support and Willow's wide smile. When the kiss grew hotter and more intense he couldn't hear anything at all but Giles' heartbeat, and so Willow's catcall and Buffy's amazed "don't they need air... or something?" was lost on him.

Number of mind-blowing, hot, amazing and fantastic kisses: one. So far. Two thumbs up. Two other things up, too.

Dedicated to

soft_princess  for getting me into this pairing... and to phendog  who wanted Christmasy post-Chosen G/X on her wishlist... Happy Santa Clause day to you both and Merry Christmas :]

Oooh! This is great! Love the tone here, especially love the lines, number of kisses shared with previously mentioned Watcher zero, zip, nada, none. Number of seriously depressed Xanders: one. and Number of mind-blowing, hot, amazing and fantastic kisses: one. So far. Two thumbs up. Two other things up, too.

I have this serious love of g/x, which tied for my first-place-ever favourite giles-ship (with three others), and also tied for first-place-ever favourite xander-ship (with, depending on my mood, one or two others) *yeah, the concept of "OTP" is lost on me, lol). I also have both post-chosen g/x and xmas (esp. mistletoe, don't ask me why...i don't know) kinks, so this was right up my alley, and it was so witty and I loved the style and flow of this!

~e!

Wow, lots of nice words, together, about my writing... :D Made my day :]

I love playful G/X, it seems to suit them the best... Cheerfull jokiness of Xander and sarcasm of Giles, what's not to love? So, I had to write this in that way.

And yes, Christmas kink... I totally relate :]. And mistletoe... there's no such thing in Poland and I really, really regret this. I mean, it really is a great excuse... for many things :D

It really does, which is probably why I like this pairing so much; it's so sweet (an addiction of mine)! I especially like how you capture this. It's playful and sweet and yet not over-the-top...it's always very tongue in cheek, which is perfect for this.

Yes, mistletoe is a great excuse, but I've not used it as such *sigh* Oh well, i'm so shy, I'd probably die of embarrasment were I to actually come across this in a non-family setting, lol.

*LOL* That's hilarious!

Poor Xander...having to resort to mistletoe. *grin*

And poor Buffy and Willow having to kiss him so many times *grins wider*

And each other *grins wider still*

But then getting Xander and Giles to kiss *full fledged smile*

Love this line:

thinking nasty thoughts about stupid Watchers who couldn't get their ass form the chair and under the freakin' weed.

But this one's my fave ;^):

Two thumbs up. Two other things up, too.

EXCELLENT! Thanks ;^)
