Oh, I like that a lot.
Does Wes use lad? I think boy sounds more like him. I could be wrong.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Wouldn't Andrew know Monty Python? It's a particularly geeky phenomenon, seems to me. I would think he'd be, at the least, quoting some back, even if it were just from The Holy Grail, which is probably (I think?) the most well-known Monty Python. I buy that he wouldn't know it was a group -- I didn't (embarrassed now, yes). something like:"Oh, oh, I know this! Killer Rabbit!" (or) Ni! Ni!"
I do almost exactly that here -
"Monty Python is not a person, it's the name of a troupe of comedians."
"Right, like that strange walking guy."
"Funny."
Because of the Ministry of Funny Walks. Andrew, as I see him, is more of a SF geek than a generalised geek. And I wonder if he's not a touch young to be very much into MP. I think he'd be more of a Red Dwarf and possibly Dr. Who geek.
Revised, based on your suggestions -
Wesley stared down at Andrew, utterly bemused.
"It's okay, Wesley." Andrew lifted a hand and patted a stubbled cheek comfortingly. "It's okay for a man to have a crush on another man."
"And what," Wesley thought, "am I to do with that?" He smiled and lowered his head to kiss Andrew, quite thoroughly.

Ah, that was my monty python stupidity not getting it then. Cool. Nice revision. I like the word bemused. It seems particularly Wes.
edited because I liked the wrong form of the word.

Thanks for all the fish.
I think that bemused - or baffled - would pretty much sum up Wesley's reaction to Andrew.

channeling fay or gobsmacked. It's a good story, Elena. I like it. I'm sorry for the pairing confusion. Did you write the other one, and if you did, are you going to post it?

Thanks for all the fish.
I did write it, and I posted it upthread. It's the bucket story. And I like this one better.

I'm younger than Andrew....
Seriously, I think Andrew would really know Monty Python. Everybody in my fifth-grade class knew them, I mean, in the way they knew if something was a Beatles song. It's just a mass-culture thing you knew.

But you might not immediately recognise one of the sketches? Hmm? Don't be harshing my buzz.
