Paid for This

In the spirit of ‘be the change you want to see in the world’, I wanted to see some more actual friend moments in episodes, so I did a thing.  Mostly I got an image of Giles’ first line and built a fic from there.
I will say it's weird being in vaguely canon adjacent territory.  I don't end up here very often.

        Xander is stuck between laughing at his friends and staring, just like they are, at Giles.
        Willow settles for repeating herself.  “You’d be willing to help with homework?”  She actually sounds a little bit in awe.
        Giles takes off his glasses and cleans them, proving Xander’s suspicion that he only does that when he’s embarrassed.  “It would happen to be in my actual job description, children.”  Buffy’s enthusiasm is quickly slayed when he adds, dryly, “Although I will not help you cheat.”
        “There go all my evil plans,” Xander jokes, as Buffy glances at him and nods in fervent agreement.
