Arrangements

GOOD NEWS!  I accepted a new job offer, so can leave the one I hate (that I had to get up for at 4 this morning, bleh).  Even better news--it's the seasonal job that I enjoyed last year.  I mean, the fun part is the two-weeks' notice tomorrow.  If I don't get sacked on the spot, I won't even be able to post tomorrow, so...yaaaay.  (I'll tell y'all, if you're interested, on Wednesday.  After everything.  Probably won't be a seasonal post, I'm sorry to say.)
Oracle!Xander is the most laidback and oddball of the bunch, I think.  (He loves, and stays with, Anya, and she's the same with him, but there are arrangements that have to be made.)

           “Xander!  Xander!”
           He glances back with a smile and slows his pace, though unless he’s trying to ‘run’ away, his pace with the wheelchair isn’t very fast.  Still, it’s enough for Willow to catch up.  “Yo.  What’s up?”
           “I am so sorry,” she pants, which makes him blink.  What would she have to be sorry about?  He can’t remember anything lately.
           “What are you talking about?” he asks cautiously.
           “Anya’s cheating on you,” she insists, and—wait, what?
           “No, seriously, that didn’t help,” he informs her.
           “She had sex with this other guy, and Tara and I kind of stumbled in on it, and they looked like they knew each other really well, and I am so sorry,” she blurts, out of breath even for her, probably with how fast she’d been running.
           He blinks, trying to catch up, and then chuckles a little, rubbing at the back of his head.  “Uhh, well, this is awkward, but…it’s entirely possible that, uhm.  That’s the guy I already know about.  No need to worry.”
           She’s staring blankly, and he manages a smile.  “Uh, yeah, okay, that sounds a little weird, I get it.  This is something I didn’t think I’d have to explain to you of all people, but…I’m paralyzed.  From the waist down.  That includes, y’know, certain things.  I’m good with, uh, toys and stuff, but sometimes that’s not enough, so we talked about it and came to an agreement.”
           She continues to stare blankly.
           “If she’s happy, I’m happy, too, so…” he shrugs.  It’s clear she still doesn’t understand, but it was worth the try.
