One Eyed Slugger

also a bit of commentary on all the stuff I've been reading today: i get just a bit of glee writing problematic characters in a way their creators (Whedon and Hashino [Atlus]) wouldn't like
(as much as I like boyfriends souji/yosuke, trans!yosuke is the best.  ...not sure which version of xander I write that I like the most, because they're all awesome in different ways)
partly because guys like that deserve to be thwarted and partly because there's some really awesome parts of the works that you can engage with from a better place

         “Baseball,” Giles repeats, noting the manic look in that brown eye and the barely restrained restless energy of his son.  Xander’s practically dancing on the spot.
         “An’ mini-golf an’ whatever else comes t’mind.  I need t’work on m’eye.  C’mon, Otousan.”  The accent had only gotten stronger, but only off and on, and there’s something about it that seems fake.
         With or without his presence, Xander will keep trying and might end up taking a baseball to the face, with no one to help, or something.  And living in Sunnydale isn’t safe enough for him without.
         “Oh, all right,” he agrees, and then has to deal with yet another overeager youngster determined to half-kill him through physical work.
         He’ll never admit that he’s secretly enjoying it.
