Now that everything had gone back to normal, Xander couldn't help feeling just an overall sense of relief. Sure he was jumping at shadows because he had no doubt Spike was going to do something in revenge for his few days as a rabbit, but come on! Xander had taken care of him and made sure he wasn't eaten or anything, that should stand for something!

In an effort to both establish normalness and clam his Spike induced nerves, he was playing a game of pool against himself. After his conversation with Joe about the game, he wasn't as convinced on Willow's theory about it being a smart person game. Maybe if he just practiced he'd get the feel of it, like Joe said. Of course who was he kidding, but then it was something to pass the time and hey, it was fun!

He'd just broken the balls and he studied their layout. It meant nothing to him but he put up a good show of thinking about it. He picked the 5 as his target, since it seemed to be in a pretty straight line with the corner pocket and hey, they always say to start simple. He bent over and carefully lined the cue to make his shot.

"He kisses like a gay man," Brian informed her 'helpfully'. "I'll have to get back to you later on any further observations, though." He turned his gaze back to Xander, smirking suggestively. Oh, he had no illusions about whether he was actually going to be having any 'further observations' to make, but hey, why not have a little fun with the heteros, if he wasn't going to get a fuck out of it?

Xander gapped like a beached fish at both of them and oh, he was suddenly really not liking Brian all that much, though he couldn't help but blush at the thought of naughty touching. Joe had been right, that's all people thought about here!

"I do not! I kiss like a perfectly normal straight guy! And you kissed me, I did nothing but stand here and be in total shock because hello, straight! Not with the kissing of guys! Now get away, Mr McGrabby!" And now he pushed Brian away with some force, the smirk making something inside feel either sick...or something he really didn't want to think about. "See Anya? Pushing! None of this is leading to sex, none of it! I don't even want sex! I just wanted a game of pool but my teacher here got a little frisky and no not always been gay, not gay at all!" God did she have to make him feel even more like shit by bringing up the wedding thing again?

Xander moved out from the two of them but since Anya was still in the doorway, he was kinda trapped so he moved into some open space and hugged his arms around him. He'd just wanted a game of pool, not question his sexuality.

"Oh please," Anya said derisively, not moving away from the door. "I know what you kiss like. THAT was a kiss you wanted. Don't try and lie to me."

Brian didn't look too bothered by the shove, and he all but ignored the fight he'd sparked between the two. He walked over to the wall and picked up his pool cue, calmly lining up a shot. He had a feeling Xander wouldn't want to play any more, after this.

Xander blinked at her in shock. "Excuse me? Can you please not get all with the defensive because that is SO not how I kiss! I was just standing there in utter shock! I'd like to think in the really weird future that you come from that I actually still participate in my kissage!" Okay so he had participated a little, but hello! Shock!

"Mmmhmm," She looked at him disbelievingly, turning her attention to Brian. Xander was apparently in denial. That was fine, he could be in denial all he wanted, Anya knew what she had seen. Besides, she'd always had her suspicions. "Excuse me? Did that seem like the kiss of someone who didn't want to be kissed?"

[queer-as-brian.livejournal.com]

"No," Brian was able to say with complete honesty. It had seemed like the kiss of someone who had no idea what had just happened to them, but he didn't offer any further explanation, didn't even look up from the pool table as he smoothly sunk a ball and started lining up another shot.

Xander sputtered and did his best imitation of a fish again as he stared daggers into the guy's ass, since that was really of him he could see at the moment due to him being bent over the pool table to take a shot. "I...He...I....Oh come on Anya! This is crazy! Believe me when I say I so not with the gay here!" He had an almost pleading look in his eyes now as he looked back at her, wishing for her to either believe him or move a foot to the right so he could escape this horribly embarrassing nightmare.

"Xander! You're staring at his ass!" That solved it for Anya and she sighed. "Oh Xander, there's nothing wrong with being gay. Willow was gay, and we still accepted her."

But right now? Right now she really couldn't deal with Xander kissing and groping and staring at some guy's ass. Maybe later, but now... "I have to go." Anya bolted. If she'd still been able to teleport she would have that, definitely.

Brian smirked and sank the fifteen, unable to resist directing the smirk at Xander for a moment or two before walking around the table to pick his next shot. "Nice meeting you!" he called after the fleeing girl. chuckling under his breath.

And he hadn't even had time to point that glaring and staring were two completely different things! If he'd wanted to stare he'd have...umm...oh no matter what he thought that wasn't coming out right. Damnit. This was just all not of the good, not at all. Not even the again mention of a lesbian Willow distracted him from the bad.

Since he'd been staring after Anya, he had to turn around to glare at Brian, a really good glare with daggers and everything. He opened his mouth to say something, realized he didn't want to make this any worse then it already was and just turned to go. "thanks for nothing." He muttered as he left kicking the pool table as he passed one of the legs. He tried very hard to hide his really girly wince of pain and get out there with some of his manliness still intact.

Oh who was he kidding?
