“You know,” Cass answered in a small, pained voice. “I liked it better when you wouldn’t talk to me. You don’t know he hasn’t left the apartment. You don’t know he doesn’t hate me.”

"Oh, I do...." Xander whispered. "I'm him, Cassie, tell me how I can prove it."

Cass shrugged, looking at him dispassionately. “Whatever I ask you to do could be a hallucination too.”

Xander shrugged. "Sometimes you gotta take risks....."

“Fine.” Cass sighed, reality settling around her even through the withdrawal pain. “Tell me something I couldn’t know, something you can prove.”

"Aside from the picture I drew of you on my wall...?" Xander blinked, thinking. "Hm....."

“It doesn’t have to be big, just something not too far away.” Cass closed her eyes briefly.

"Ah." Xander held his hands out, palms up, still showing a good few black smudges. "Charcol dust. I missed a couple spots when I was washing off."

Cass shook her head. “That doesn’t…” She sighed, deciding to find out for herself. She scooted towards him slowly, reaching her hand towards his cheek like she was afraid it would go right through. When her fingers grazed over the rough stumble on his chin she kissed him very briefly on the lips.
“Asshole.” She said without heat. “You could have told me before.”

"Could have told you what?" Xander blinked, dumbfounded.

“Could’ve told me you weren’t…” She shrugged helplessly, head drooping in exhaustion. “In my head…”

"Sorry..." Xander looked down. "I'm used to being the crazy one, not dealing with other people...."

“It’s okay.” Cass smiled for the first time in weeks, curling up on the mattress. “You really don’t hate me?” She asked, eyes already closed.

"Of course not." Xander lay down next to her. "I'm not exactly overjoyed, but....."

“I’m sorry.” Cass turned towards him, fighting to keep her eyes open, fighting to keep her breathing even. “I love you, Xander.”

“What do I need to do to prove it?” Cass snuggled against his chest, completely giving up on trying to keep her eyes open.

"Can't tell you." Xander grinned slightly. "It starts with having a good meal, though."

“Not hungry.” Cass’ breathing deepened. “Tired. Sleep first?”

Xander laughed softly. "Alright." he touched her arm gently, wondering if she was in pain
