Doing Things in Secret

There’s something I feel when being told someone became a demon, it’s probably a Slayer thing, and it’s not a good feeling.

Anya seemed to pick up on how my demeanor shifted, “I’m not a demon now.”

“But you were and you became one again.”

“Yes, but I’m not anymore and right now I’m just trying to figure out what happened with this wish.”

I sighed, along with the anger that being the Slayer brings, it also brings purpose and responsibility. “So what do you need to know?”

“When did you and Xander start having sex?”

Different universe Anya, still blunt as always, “What do you mean?”

“Cordy already told me. I need your details as well.”

Well, it wasn’t going to come out eventually I guess, “Xander and I have been having sex since they tried to revive the Master.”

“When did you stop?”

"A few weeks after that. And it wasn't sex then, oral was as far as we went."

Anya paused for a moment, "What do you mean 'then'?"

"Well, we started having sex again. It was when I got the flu. I was convinced that given him a blowjob would make me feel better. Actually worked out pretty well. Started with blowjobs again, but moved to full sex during the summer."

"And how long did that go on for?"

"What do you mean?" I knew what she meant, I just didn't want to answer.

"When did the two of you stop having sex that time?"

“We never stopped.”

“You fucking cunt,” Anya said angrily. “You’re cheating with Xander behind my back!”

Clearly I had misread the situation, “I mean, he’s not your Xander, right?”

“It’s not like I’m an Anya from some totally different plane of existence, just one who has had some changes. Am I cool with Xander sleeping with other women?”

“I mean, yeah, he’s marrying both you and Cordelia today,” I said, pointing out the obvious.

“Other girls. Ones I don’t know about.”

“You usually share all of your sexual stories. I’m a bit different.”

“Explain.”
