They six men and Tara sat there reading the prophecy as the shop door was opened
again.
Sirius, Remus and Severus stood up quickly and reached for their wands.
Xander made a calming gesture and said "Guys, it's OK. That is the other half of our team. They are from LA."
With that he stood up and went to the front.
"Hi Deadboy you are right in time. Cordy, Faith my lovely girls how are you?" He hugged them both.
Faith was surprised. Xander and herself had gotten over their past, but that he would accept her the same way as Cordy...it seemed so unreal.
Cordelia knew that Xander tried to make Faith feel as a part of the Sunnydale gang and was happy about it.
Angel grinned. He would never admit it but he had gotten used to the name...
and it was Xander that called him that abd nobody else. Since a few days ago
he knew that Spike and himself shared a secret. Their love to the boy.
In the past the two were impressed by Xanders loyality, courage and wits. He
seemed to be weak in comparision with a Slayer, Vampire, Witch or Werewolf but
he had never backed down.
Xander released the girls and turned to Spike, Wesley and the man who must be Gunn. Cordy had described him a few times when they talked.
"Spike...it is good to see you, Fangless. Wesley, how are you? And you must be Gunn. Cordy told me a bit about you. You have to be a good fighter when you made it through the life in LA."
Spike was happy to see that Xander was alright. He had been worried as he left the boy, the and the watcher alone. Spike was sure Oz could take care of himself.
To see that they were alright...
Wesley glanced at Gunn. He wanted to know what the man thought of this welcome. They hadn't expected to be greeted so warmly, although Wesley had made his peace with Xander he couldn't believe how much the young man had changed. He could still hope for a quite visit. Then they would drive back to LA and he could brood again. That he had been doing for the past weeks. Just because of Gunn... Wes knew all along that the black man was attractive and intelligent and funny. He could tthink of more things he loved Gunn for, but it seemed to be hopeless. Gunn was with Cordy since two weeks ago and he admitted that he was jealous of Cordy.
What Wesley didn't know was the fact that Gunn and Cordy were just good friends. The black man had gone to Cordy for advice and he could still remember their talk.
***flashback***
Gunn was desperate. It was a few days ago that he had realised that he had the hots for Wesley.
It had been after a mission. They had fought a slime demon and got smlime all over themself. As they arrived back in the Hyperion they went to take showers.
Angel and Spike went to the basement because they shared everything and wanted to make out in the process. Fighting always seemed to make them even hornier than they already were.
Cordy went to the functioning room on the second floor and Faith got the one on the first floor.
The problem was that because nobody ever lived in most of the rooms they had cut the power of and the water.
So there was only one room left.
Wesley didn't seem to mind the sharing so they went to the room and took the first shower.
Gunn couldn't resist to peek in as he heard the shower start.
And he got the shock of his life.
There stood Wesley...
...naked...
...beautiful...
...and completly unaware that Gunn was staring at him.
He could feel his heart begin to speed up and his jeans tighted over his erection. It was always a known fact to him that Wesley was an attractive man but now... he was just overwhelmed.
As he thought about Wesley and what he liked him for the other man stepped out of the shower. He hadn't noticed Gunn standing there and began to dry himself.
Gunn left quietly and tried to look busy as the bathroom door opened and gave yiew on a towel clad ex-watcher.
"You can go in now, Gunn. I am sorry I took so long" Wesley hated
to make the other man wait when he was just as eager as everyone else to get
the slime of.
He went to the bed where a shirt and boxers lay and began to dress.
Only then did he notice that Gunn was staring at him. So he turned away and he promptly blushed.
As he turned back around Gunn was gone. He could hear the shower.
Gunn was surprised by his own restrain. He thought he would jump Wes at the
next moment but as the man turned his back to him it seemed to be a rejection.
Now here he was. Standing in the shower, masturbating and he pictured his friend
in the process.
He imagined how Wesley would feel against him... soapy and wet.
How he looked on his knees in front of him and sucking him, licking him.
What Wes would look like bent over with his ass just in position to take him,
just plung in to the tight heat.
The sounds pleasure Wes would make.
To feel him come and clench the ass tighter...
That thought pushed Gunn over the edge and he came.
As he could think straight again he decided to talk about his feelings to someone...
...but whom?
Maybe Angel or Spike. They wouldn't laugh but he was sure that they wouldn't understand his problems. They were vampires after all.
Faith he didn't know enough and she seemed to have her own problems.
That left Cordy.
He dried himself and dressed. Wesley had already left the room and as he got
upstairs he could see him sitting on the couch with a book in hand.
The others were there too.
"Cordy?"
"What is it, Gunn?"
"Could I talk to you for a minute?"
She just looked at him and seemed to see that he had a problem because she stood up and took his hand.
They went into the kitchen and began to make sandwiches.
"What do you want to talk about, Gunn?" she asked in a gentle tone as if to not press him to answer.
"You know...I...Damn I can't even say it!" he was frustrated. He thought he knew that he was in love with the english man but just couldn't say it out loud.
"Gunn, take it easy. Try again, what is so important to you that you want to talk with me in privat?"
"It is about Wesley. Some time ago I just thought he was handsome but tonight I discovered that I feel more for him than friendship and I don't know what to do! What to say and wheher he could ever return my feelings."
That all came out in a rush and as Cordelia tried to understand everything he said he looked to the floor.
"What you want to say is that you love him?"
"Yeah, that is what I am saying"
"Wow, that is cool! We slowly are all turning gay. Do you think there is something in the water? But why shouldn't he return your feeling? You know that he would never do or say anything to hurt you. You are his friend and it will stay this way."
Gunn calmed down a bit. Cordy accepted that he loved Wesley and said that they
would at least stay friends.
Only then sunk the bit in where she said that they were all gay.
"What do you mean? You are a lesbian?" that astonished him. She was always searching for a guy to go out with and now that.
"If I tell you this you have to promise me to tell nobody, OK?"
"Sure!"
"Since Faith is here I just can't seem to concentrate and when I am on a date... Well I always think about her and what she would like to do." that was said in a low voice.
"It is understandable that you like her. I mean I didn`t know her in the past but now she seems to be nice, although a bit lonely and chilly."
"We are a pair, huh... We should go back to the others now."
With that she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.
Just in that moment the door opened and Wesley stood there staring at them.
