"I'm sick of it, you know?" Xander took another pull at his drink and glanced at the redhead beside him, who nodded silently. "I don't think I've ever been first, ever. Or last. Or anything which might stand out, really. I mean, the people who come last, everyone knows them, even if they know them as useless. Me... I'm just in the middle. Not that the middle is always a bad place to be, but-" Shut up, Xander's brain told him. Your chances of getting laid are going down the tube. Xander closed his mouth, and nibbled a peanut. "So, I'm kinda babbling, huh? Where are you from? Within England?" "Sort of... Sussex-ish." The man's voice was husky and light. "You wouldn't know it." "Yeah, probably not. Geography was never my strong suit. In school, I always-" Xander's brain didn't interrupt this time. What did was a warm finger laid across his lips. Xander's eyes flew up to meet the amused green eyes next to him. "Bloody hell, you like talking." The finger was taken away, and Xander nodded silently. "Well, it gets... good results." He couldn't resist it. The green became a little darker. "Yeah? Depends what kind of results you're looking for." "The kind I just got." Xander grinned. "You... in America long? I'm Xander Harris, by the way." "Xander?" "Short for Alexander." The man raised his eyebrows. "A few weeks. I'm on government business." He stuck out a hand. "Ron Weasley. Short for Ronald, surprisingly enough." Xander shook the hand, finding the palm hard and the fingers strong. "So you want a tour of the town?" "After dark?" Xander was taken aback. "You've heard stories?" "I was sent to investigate said stories." Ron regarded Xander levelly, then shrugged. "Hell, it can't be that much stranger than your normal life. I'm a wizard, working for the wizard government in England." "Oh." Xander blinked. "Like, wands and sparkles and stuff? Or like Giles?" Ron sighed. "Yes. Wands and sparkles and stuff. And I don't know who you're talking about." "Cool! Like, you could turn someone into a frog?" Xander could tell Ron was reluctantly amused. "Yeah." "That's really cool, man. And you're in Sunnydale for a few weeks? Oh, you have to meet Giles and Willow." "I do?" Xander nodded enthusiastically. "I do." But then Ron leaned a little closer and whispered right into Xander's ear, his breath hot, "But I'm a little more interested in you right now." Xander got goosebumps. "That's..." "Cool?" "Yeah." "I've got a room at a hotel. You... want to come?" Ron extended a palm. Xander hesitated for a second, and then placed his hand in Ron's. For once, it appeared that he was more important to someone than the other Scoobies.

	Notes: I was bored, and then I took a quiz about which crossover slash pairing I was. This was the result.
