Xander felt the tears but didn't say anything, just held her tighter as he blinked back tears of his own. "Me being a moron is nothing new. Ask Buffy or Spike." He said jokingly, his poor attempt to lighten the mood.
But when she pulled back, he looked back with a more honest expression. He swallowed hard, knowing what he should say...but he wasn't abut to lie to her either. "I know. But it's still my worst nightmare." He lifted a hand to wipe away her tears. "It has been for longer then I have been on the island. But having people like you in my life...makes it worth living with." Then he kissed her forehead and hugged her again, doing some clinging of his own.
