Sighing, Xander starts trying to disentangle himself from his lover. 
Normally, he loved being wrapped up in Graham's arms, but tonight he couldn't
sleep.  His mind wouldn't slow down enough for him to rest and he knew the
reason why.  It was one month ago that they had defeated the First.

They all had suffered at the hands of the First, some more than others.  Anya
had lost her life, Spike had been sucked down into the Hellmouth before it
had closed, and he had lost his eye.  Looking back down at Graham, Xander
thought about how much worse it could have been.  If Willow hadn't called the
Initiative for help, Xander didn't think anyone would still be alive.  It was
because of the military unit that they had been able to kill the bringers and
the psychotic preacher Caleb.  It was also the reason why Graham was in his
life now.

Looking back down at his lover, Xander smiled.  If he was honest with
himself, Xander had been attracted to the other man since he first saw him in
Lowell House.  He'd been a little bit disappointed when Graham hadn't come
back to Sunnydale with Riley and Sam last year.  But Xander had been relieved
that the stoic soldier had come this past time.

Their first time together, right after defeating the First, had been nothing
except for a release of stress from nearly dying.  The next morning though,
that had been pure pleasure.  Blushing at the memory, Xander slipped back in
bed and curled back into the arms of the man who had come to mean so much to
him in such a short time.
