Awwwww! So cute! I love it. I like how you didn't avoid the fact that Xander was plump once and wow, I feel sad for Xander and Spike every time I read this. It was great! I can't help but think... sequel! lol, you know, maybe to write a bit about how Spike eventually draws Xander out of his self consciousness.... ahh, wishful thinking. Great job on this though and thanks for sharing!
