Paramour

6th Feb, 2006 at 11:55 AM

Andrew had known Xander long enough to know that the man had all the emotional maturity of a child. If he wasn't mooning over an object of lust, he was a wreck over whomever he was with; it had all become something of a running joke with his friends.

With the way Xander was behaving over his acquisition of a limited edition action figure, anyone would think he was planning his upcoming nuptials.

Nodding politely in agreement, Andrew wondered if a cult somewhere was missing a minion. Then he remembered Dracula and moved a little further away on the couch.

Andrew may be a geek, but Xander is even geekier.

Seriously -- Andrew's calling Xander immature?

.... Hm .... Yeah, I could see that.

I've let Andrew grow up a bit and he did have a herd of Slayers at his command in canon. Xander didn't quite manage to shake of his immaturity and I certainly haven't let him move on.

andrew vs xander

I've taken pretty much the opposite course: in my stories Xander has matured a bit, while I haven't really dealt much with Andrew at all. One of the reasons I like your Andrew is that he has grown up and accepted responsibility, but at the same time he's still got those little quirks that made him so interesting to begin with.
