Fic: Different Needs
Title: Different Needs
Characters: Xander, Giles
Rating: For all ages
Setting: Season Three of BtVS
Summary: Xander is fed up from being the Zeppo, can Giles help him become a-somebody? Will Giles ever see him as more than just an aggravating little boy?
Notes: This idea is from Murasaki (thanks hon!) But the ending is from a dream I had last year about Xander and Giles.
Disclaimer: They belong to Joss and co.
Distribution: Want it? Yay! Just let me know first.
Great thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Different Needs
Part One:
Enough! No more!
His interaction with Cordelia this morning had finally pushed him to find a solution to his suffering. He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't be the 'useless' member in this team. Yesterday was bad enough with Buffy trying to find the nicest way to send him home without hurting his precious feelings. But having Cordelia confront him about his worthlessness in front of his friends was just too much for him to handle, especially with his friends trying to tell him otherwise without denying Cordelia's accusations.
Okay, he was done with this. This time he had to take this issue more seriously. It wasn't like Cordelia was wrong. He knew he was the least useful member in the group. Everyone had a specialty of their own. Buffy was the slayer, Giles was the one with the source of knowledge, Angel was the muscles, and Willow was the hacker and the wanna-be-witch. Oz, even though he matched his normalness when he wasn't a werewolf, was much smarter and a better fighter than him.
He had to do something about this.
Now.
To the rest of the story...
