Preview: LnDs boys reacting to other guys hitting on you.
SYLUS
You stood in front of the heavy wooden doors covered in gilt, a gateway exuberating luxury and inviting only the top 1% of the N109's population, which of course, includes Sylus. You had yet to be used to attending such fancy events but Sylus had managed to convince you by being apart of such events, you would be able to establish your name within the N109 zone quicker and that people would learn not to mess with you as much anymore. Perhaps you were not having a clear mind during then but here you stood now, in the middle of a huge banquet hall, in a maroon red dress that makes you feel naked due to how cocooned you feel within the fit.
"Breathe, then maybe you may not feel so nervous." Sylus slipped an arm around you and started to lead you into the highly ornated hall. You could tell that nobody here belonged to the 'average' class as their manners, demeanours and even body languages rotated around the word demure. Escorted to a standing bar table, your partner leaned down just enough for his lips to hover over the side of your ear and you could feel his hot breath tickled against your lobes. "Stay here, I will get us some drinks." And off he went, his tall figure blending into the crowds of dancing participants.
Sylus strutted over towards the bar and casually leaned against it. One good thing about events as such is other than the free flow of alcohol, waiters are built to be more attentive and aware of their surroundings as they do hold a split image of the host of the event. "One whiskey and a glass of lemon soda." The waiter nodded and immediately started to get to work. Sylus then turned around, his eyes scanning the crowds of people and landing on you, the lady in red still standing at the table alone, awaiting for him.
"Eyeing the bird I see?" A voice chimed out of the blue, laced with a thick British accent that any lady would have been charmed over. Sylus's crimson eyes glanced over and caught sight of a man in a tailored suit, brunette hair slicked back and eyes the shade of ocean. "I wonder if she would be pleased to have company for the night." The hint of tease in his voice got the lover of yours quirking an eyebrow, expressing amusement at the man's confidence.
"You can give it a shot." He snarked, one side of his lips tilted upwards to form a smirk. "She does not seem to be the type to let in so easily." The clink of glass onto the table top got Sylus to turn over, grabbing his glass smoothly and tasting the whiskey. "How does a bet sound?"
"Whoever gets her by the end of the night shall be crowned winner then?" The young man downed his vodka shot in one go and he stood straight, adjusting his outfit and shooting his head back to Sylus, who is still smirking in his direction. "It's on, then."
Watching the man walking over to you, each step radiating manly confidence nearly got Sylus laughing, if only the man knew how hard it was for Sylus to get you to just stay with him. "She may be pretty, but she ain't stupid that's for sure." Picking up her glass of lemon soda, he too, started walking towards the table. Seeing you talking to the British man, slightly chuckling got Sylus feeling an ick at the back of his throat and it did not taste good. He made his presence known by loudly clinking the glass of lemon soda onto the table.
You gulped when you saw Sylus had returned, and accepted the glass of lemon soda he had gotten for you. You boyfriend turned over to the British lad and smiled a bit too politely for his usual manners before he spoke. "The moment you had picked her to be your target, is the moment I already knew I won the bet." His eyes gleamed murder under the shine of the crystal chandeliers. "If I were you, I would scamper off immediately before I hunt you down."
XAVIER
It has been a while since you had been on a hotpot date with your lover. Ever since Captain Jenna had assigned him on a mission, it has been hard to match up both of your timings to plan for a date. Hence, once you received the text from your boyfriend stating that his mission had finally met the end of it's trail, you could not hide your excitement and went ahead to book for a hotpot store that had recently opened up just a few streets down. Your sole motivation of booking the store was hearing Tara's praises over the services offered there. She claimed that anyone who goes in would surely come out feeling refreshed and that was what got you sold on making a reservation.
Perhaps, just maybe, the way Tara had phrased that got you picturing a whole different scenario; where an otherworldly hotpot experience was what you were anticipating, with fastidious services and amazing food and offers you a new kind of service. Yet, here you sat, in the middle of a table with tons of half naked men walking around you, serving hotpot dishes. So this was Tara's definition of feeling refreshed. Palming yourself on the forehead, you were figuring why did you bother asking for a hotpot recommendation from one of your girl friends who happens to be single.
"May I help you with something?" A young man, wrapped in biker shorts and an apron approached you and you gulped, eyes immediately avoiding whatever skin he has to show. Seeing your reaction, a chuckled rolled out of his lips and he took a seat beside you, unaware that you already have a boyfriend as Xavier would be slightly late due to an unexpected traffic jam. "Would you like me to give you a massage to ease your tension hmm?"
You gave an awkward chuckle, hands waving back and forth while rejecting his oncoming offer. "I have a boyfriend and I am not interested. I would like to get a menu please." Just by talking to the guy, it left a bitter taste in your mouth, it felt like you were cheating on Xavier although you were barely doing anything. The weight on the couch shifted and you heard a soft thud, seeing the shadow beside you disappearing out of the corner of your eye.
The waiter that had initially served you headed back towards the counter, his other colleagues wriggling their eyebrows at him. "How's it going with that chick, Ken? You manage to ask for her wechat yet?" One of the guys asked, his pearly whites flashing. But Ken shrugged and muttered something about her having a boyfriend. "Well adding her on wechat is not exactly a crime. No harm in storing a cute girl's number in your phone anyways."
A figure walked past them, stopped mid way and approached them. This figure was leaner, taller, and looked more elegant than the other men adorning aprons and biker shorts within the restaurant. "Which girl?" His voice chimed in and Ken responded without much thought, thinking it was one of his colleagues asking for the target. He pointed exactly at you and the stranger's cerulean blue orbs caught yours and his lips pulled into a warm smile. Seeing you being so uneasy within a crowd of half-naked men amuses him. "Easy. If I get her number, does this mean I get to keep her?"
Ken then noticed the source of the voice, a man dressed up in a wool hoodie, with sandy blond hair and dreamy blue eyes and an innocent smile. He holds very effiminate features for a man. Given that the store was not opened for that long, Ken thought he may be one of the newcomers coming for an interview. "Sure buddy, if you get it, I guess you can keep it. But she does have a boyfriend, she said it herself." Xavier chuckled and casually shrugged his shoulders and sauntered over to you. The men stood by the counter and watched intently.
Watching Xavier talking to you and getting you to smile got the men to exchange glances at one another. Maybe they are missing something, or maybe it did hurt their small ego a little. But the moment Xavier got you by the hand and started to lead you out of the restaurant, the men were shocked, eyes widened and jaws slacked at how Xavier could easily get you to comply. Walking past Ken, Xavier stopped to say. "Next time, if you want to lay a bet, don't be such an airhead and at least lay it with someone who does not have a boyfriend already."
RAFAYEL
Getting stuck in a foreign city with little to no guidance is not that rare of an occurrence as Rafayel does enjoy being 'lost' with you. "That is how you can truly get to enjoy a city." Is what he would usually use to comfort you. However, that sentence of his may only work if the both of you are not entirely soaked under the heavy rain. Shivering, hungry and worn out. "Shall we head in there for some shelter?" Rafayel suggested, slender index finger pointed towards the building ahead of the both of you.
With a slight nod, he led you towards the building. It turned out to be a bustling bar within the small town. Locals filled to the brim, chattering in their own mothertongue while enjoying each other's company. "Stay here, I will get us some drinks." Rafayel informed you and headed off after pressing a small kiss onto your left cheek. The both of your arrival certainly did alerted a couple of the locals. Seeing a drenched couple within a bar is a good sign for them to know that you guys are far from home.
Perched against a standing bar table, you studied the crowd that were occupying the dance floor. The crowd are drenched in the bask of neon glow emitted by the LED lights that hung high above the ceilings. Some of them had drinks in their hand as they swayed to the beat while some others were clearly in their own world, striking dance moves that are attracting a spectacle. "Hey!" A voice called out to you and you turned your head, landing your sight on a tall male figure, with hair that are akin to the sunset and with milky pale skin. Upon approaching you, you caught sight of his emerald eyes that sparkled like eccentric jewels under the dim lights. "You dropped this?!"
Looking down at his palm, he held out your phone to you. The music is probably too loud for you to even notice that your phone had fell out of your pocket and landed onto the floor with a thud. "Yeah!" You responded with the volume that hopefully reaches his ears. The ginger haired man smiled and stood next to you and he started striking a conversation with you, asking if you were alone and if you happen to be a local as well. "Oh, I am from Linkon City and I am not here alone!" You smiled awkwardly but also responded out of a polite manner.
A hand that landed at your back made you jumped slightly and you retreated from the guy's vicinity when you realised he was trying to get close to you. "What's wrong?" Feigning shock, he only closed in on you, a smirk creeping its way onto his face. He looked nothing different than a wolf that is ready to pounce whenever he finds the chance to. "Whatever happens in here, stays in here." His statement got your voice stuck in your throat, your chest tightening when you realised that you are about to get jumped by a 'kind' stranger.
"You have to try so hard to get her to pay attention to you?" A mocking voice came from behind you and your heart sighed in relief when Rafayel towered behind you, two glasses in hand and a genuine amused smile stamped onto his features. "I didn't even have to try to get her to come on this trip with me." Rafayel casually handed you your drink and he took up the space in front of you, his height on par with the guy whom had tried to hit on you. Rafayel's eyes gleamed a shade of striking electric blue when he leaned in towards the guy, his demeanour taking a turn towards being protective and establishinig dominance.
This side of Rafayel got your heart lurching for a moment. Seeing such a nonchalant and charming individual taking a turn towards being protective over you got the butterflies in your stomach blindly colliding with the walls of your insides. "Touch her one more time, I dare you." Snapping his finger, the flames of his evol came alive and the guy muttered curses, stepping aback. "I might not be able to guarantee you would be able to leave here in one piece."
ZAYNE
The cardiac surgeon's off day is spent on paying you a surprise visit during your demonstration day. This day in specific is held annually at the Linkon City Hall, where the public are informed about the roles of a deepspace hunter and it is also a day for the organisation to recruit potential new hunters for their task forces. He remembered that day as you stood in front of him, with a brochure shoved into his arms before you sprinted off like a whimpering fox. The piece of paper featured your face on it, posing with your guns, with a huge title pasted above your head that is promoting 'Hunter's Showdown Performance'. Zayne could not help his lips from tugging into a small smile as he stared blankly at your wannabe serious face on the piece of paper.
You stood at the back of the stage, isolating yourself from the rest of the crew as you quietly rehearsed your steps. You were only given a month to prepare for this demonstration and knowing that you are not able to strike to wanderer actors makes it all the more tedious for you to rehearse your steps. Every movement, every swing of the guns and every shot has to be precise and realistic, minus the actual damage to be taken by the other actors. Executing a full 360 turn, you came to a halt when your name was hollered out by someone in the background. "Y/n!" You turned your head and your partner came up to you, his smile wide. "Hey, you rehearsing for your part?"
Upon nodding your head, he proceeded to ask if it would be alright for him to rehearse his part with you. On usual notes, hunters are usually dispatched in pairs and since Tara is not around, hence Captain Jenna decided to pair you up with Christopher. The rehearse took around 15 minutes till he paused, patting you on your shoulder encouragingly. "You got anyone coming over to watch you?" You opened your mouth to speak but a voice chimed in before you could even say anything else.
"Yes." Zayne stood behind you, his features darkened at the sight of the hand of a stranger's on your shoulder. Christopher coughed slightly and retreated his touch, feeling guilty instantly. You were of course, shocked, that Zayne had managed to make time to come and see this silly demonstration of yours. When you gave him the brochure, you were certainly not expecting him to appear in person. You figured he might just watch it via the online link from his office if he happened to not any surgeries scheduled for the day. You were totally wronged.
"You...uhm...never told me you had a boyfriend." Christopher chuckled awkwardly, his hand lightly tapping and rubbing the back of his neck to somewhat soothe himself from the tense stare he was getting from a pair of unfamiliar emerald orbs.
Zayne took this chance to stand beside you and he extended a hand towards the guy, expression still indifferent. "I am Zayne, y/n's boyfriend, it is nice to meet you." Christopher did shook his hand out of respect but did not took long to stay, muttering that he has to get his makeup done and off he went. You could somehow feel dark clouds crowding in above your head, a storm lingering in the back of Zayne's gaze. "Was that the guy that you were supposed to perform with?" His voice was gentle, but he awaits for your answer.
"Yeah...Tara could not make it during this event, hence Captain Jenna got him to pair up with me for the demonstration." Your voice was slightly quivering, thinking that Zayne might be upset with you not openly telling your colleagues that you are already in a relationship. But you came from his standpoint, as Zayne is someone who cares about his privacy, you figured he might not appreciate you going on yapping about you being in a relationship and would much rather keep it low-key and only between the two of you. "I'm sorry I never mentioned about you to any of my colleagues as I thought you would like to keep our relationship private and confidential."
Zayne's eyes caught yours and he smiled warmly, his hand coming up to tuck a stray strand of your hair behind your ear and he leaned down, pressing a soft kiss onto your forehead. You froze, knowing that at this point you would be receiving tons of stares from your surrounding colleagues. "Y/n, as much as I would like to keep our relationship private, I would not like it if someone were to try to take advantage on you just because they think they could." His palm smoothed the baby hairs atop of your head, his smile still evident as he continued speaking softly to you. "If you find it hard to tell your colleagues about us because of me, I will just let my actions show them what we are."
I can't help but remember this one scene where he had a toothache but still wants to get a bite of the macaron. In honor of his birthday, I bought macarons! (Sorry for the badly taken pictures).
Should have bought a blue one ๐ฅน (the macarons are matcha, espresso and dark chocolate flavored, from bottom to above).
Happy birthday again, Zayne. I know deep down I won't find someone like you in real life and it low-key feels melancholic ๐ฅน
Since people on TikTok keep mischaracterizing our boys I thought it would be interesting to sail through dangerous territory and make headcanons about which red flags would the boys have as close as possible to canon.
Yes, I'm aware that this can be polemic and I invite everyone to question and even participate in the comments and reblogs!
Let's have fun! (Non silly fic ahead!)
TW: Stalking (hypothetical situation dw), self-harm, mass murder mentions, and trust issues.
Okay fellas so like, you guys know he's a criminal right? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
And before you say something like "Oh but so what?" bestie give me your hand here let me walk you to the point I'll make for you.
He lives a very dangerous life (and let's suppose you're MC but you have your own family.) and you will be dragged into this mess with him, he does not mean it and you might be understanding until criminals kill your pet and kidnap someone dear to you.
I believe many of us have our family and loved ones as our weaknesses, and that's okay, we are humans.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg ๐
"Oh, but this is fiction is not that deep I can just ignore that, how does his red flags affect our relationship?" Okay, I'll tell you.
His moral alignment I believe that's evil-neutral, why? Because he damn well is not Lawful good ๐ nor true neutral, he grew up surviving (as he said in the latest card) so all he knows is kill or be killed, and he enjoys having power.
He does not see life as something that important, and why would he? He can't be killed, if worms dare to cross his path and die that's the consequences of their own stupid actions.
And if worms try to hurt YOU ๐
The only thing stopping him from doing so is mostly you bby ๐ญ
And I debated with a friend and we agreed that he wouldn't kill a citizen from Linkon straight up because you're a goody-two-shoes.
But if it's a criminal tho ๐
Friendly reminder our first encounter he literally exploded a guy for being greedy and he wasn't attached as he is to us now ๐๐๐
"Oh, but that's so romantic wow"...๐ฐ๐ฐ
Okay allow me to give you a hypothetical situation (Staking trigger warning!)
You had been dealing with an unknown stalker, constantly feeling dread to the point you couldn't sleep.
Sylus, with Mephisto's aid, found out about the situation.
Now this connects to my other Red flag too.
He won't tell you he knows this has happened.
And he won't tell he's the one responsible for that person disappearing either.
You might even tell him about how there was a sudden dismembered body in the alleyway two blocks from your place.
"Really sweety? That sounds so gruesome, I wonder what could have this person done to deserve that."
You don't tell him that you recognized that man.
And he doesn't mention the relief on your face.
But yeah...
It's very conflicting, but factually, it is still a red flag honey I'm just being realistic.
But as you can see, he will hide a lot of things from you ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
And regardless of what you think, even if you asked, if he deems that you are unsafe he WILL deal with it, and if it's something you don't approve he will simply hide it and won't show a sign of guilt ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
And if for some reason you found out something and confronted him he would dance around the subject and that would make you go INSANE, but at some point would confess but he can be very persuasive.
And the moment you start to question if you should be really mad at him because all he did was for you, he won.
Would set the world on fire and call it rain for you.
No honey that's being self-destructive it's not good nor romantic for god's sake seek help ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
*Sighs*
My baby, I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
"Oh but Zayne CAN'T have a red flag" Pause cause I thought so too ๐๐๐
THIS IS SO HARD CUZ HE'S MY MAN ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
But yeah, he has a red flag because of his self-destructive behavior ๐๐
Honeys, somebody hold me this is so sad ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
His love is so intense that it burns him.
Will kill himself a thousand times for you.
And as romantic as this looks in the papers, there's nothing that causes more despair than knowing someone is so dependent on you.
And the worst part of this all? He doesn't control it.
If you get hurt, he will spend day and night awake beside you at the hospital, and even if Dr. Greyson tells him to rest he won't.
He can't.
He can't close his eyes without having nightmares, nightmares of you bleeding in his arms to death.
If you disappear he will wither like a flower, until his sun (you) comes back.
And if you die...
...
Have heard of how elders just die of sadness after losing their partner? They neglect their health to the point they have no strength anymore...
"Oh, but Dawnbreaker-"
The pain of a life without meaning is not the same as the one who lost its meaning.
... :(
And it's draining darling, he can't help it.
And you can't help him either.
His self-destructive love can be extremely draining depending on how your mental health is.
He doesn't have much time because of work, you don't have either, and (considering you're a hunter) probably the few times you see each other you might fight because he's worried about you but then you call him out on his hypocrisy.
He is a sweetheart and whatever he does, he does for you, but Zayne only knows one way of love, and is giving his entire existence to you.
And ceasing it with you too.
Okay, I'll take it easy on this one... I hope
Listen... We all know that Rafayel pampers MC to DEATH and it's so ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Would burn down the entire ocean if you wanted fried fish for breakfast.
But it doesn't change the fact that because of him, children, elders, adults, pregnant all died
Waiting for their God to save them,
Praying for their God to rescue them from their fate.
But little did they know that their God had turned his back on them, just to save you.
And what else could they do?
Besides watching their God give his heart to his beloved, leaving them doomed to their end.
Sometimes, you have nightmares of screams muffled by the crashing waves and a loud beating heart, and the sight of the ocean turning red covered in pearls.
He's prone to say mean things when he's mad and gets jealous quite easily.
And there's so much in his chest that he might blame you for things that happened in the past, and when you're obviously confused because you don't remember and he didn't tell, he will push you away until he can slip his usual mask up again.
Also, one to mask his feelings.
"Oh but that's not a real red flag" Honey it is, the problem is that it affects him and since you love him it affects you too!
And listen, he wishes he could open up to you, tell you everything, his fears his troubles, but he's too afraid of losing you, of coming too strong.
And you wished he could tell you so he could release the pain in his chest but he won't.
So even if you see the sad glint in his eyes, he will not open up.
He can't bring himself to tell you the price he paid to love you.
Nor the fact that he would do it again.
Like my pookie @chaos-in-deepspace said: "Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss" and they're so right ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Looked at us in the eye when we asked him if he was Lumiere and acted like we were crazy ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ
And whenever you confront him about an important matter he just goes:
You have to kabedon his ass until he yields and dude, it gets pretty annoying.
HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION
HE WILL GET DECAPITATED FOR YOU AND JUST DO A THUMBS UP THAT GUYY
And yes, you love your soft boy, your good-looking boy.
BUT HE DOESN'T STOP COMING HOME INJURED
And as much as you nag him, he doesn't say about where he was and what he was doing and that you can't even come to terms with, but he won't even tell you where he is in case he is in danger.
So depending on how much of a worry-wart you are, this relationship will be a nightmare ๐๐
And also, like Sylus in a way ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
He WILL kill anyone if they mean any harm to you now or in the future.
And unlike Sylus, he does not care if it's a Linkon Citizen, if this person can be dangerous for you even in the future this person will be gone.
And you won't find out, like ever.
Jeremiah knows better than to question Xavier when he comes all bloodied at his shop.
Low-key, highly prone to be a yandere, more than any other LADS boy ๐๐๐
Thank you all for reading โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Please do feel free to add your own thoughts and comments too, my specialty is Zayne so literally asked for reinforcements lol ๐ญ
Shout out again for my pookie for helping me out on this one and a true homie @EvilFishie on Twitter! Please check them out ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ their art is amazing and check @chaos-in-deepspace for 5 start Michelin smut ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ
These red flags make them feel more human to me, I won't say it's a good thing but every human has at least one red flag and for them having red flags makes them more realistic.
Maya, that's the exact reason I made this! As someone with my own red flags, I wouldn't be able to feel close to them. If I couldn't spot any flaws, I would just feel like an eternal Icarus striving and yearning from the sun and only burning to ashes if I got too close because I'm a sinner ๐โ๐ฝ
(LADS got me so good that make me feel like a poet damn ๐)
Sylus is RARRRHH RRAHH but Zayne is the one I'd introduce to family. Get married too. Be the perfect doctors wife for. Have kids with. Grow old with. HES PERFECT IN LITERALLY EVERY WAY. I just don't think I can have that with Sylus. He's that ex situationship you have fond memories of, if that makes any sense.
Can we please mass tell the Devs to give us a pc ver with landscape mode cuz this is hitting diff ๐ซ
No really, so many things just get cut out of the frame for no reason, landscape mode on pc would go so hard. Would help a lot of people with storage too since it's heavy for phones. Pc can handle the heat to a better level too.
The Vision Opposรฉes MV on pc was a diff level of mind blowing with the visuals so if they actually make a standalone pc version with landscape mode I think k it's going to go a really long way with the players.
Unrelated to any games that I play but I just want to update about my life.
I tried a dating app and messaged some guys but got ghosted ahahhahah like it was expected but it still hurts.
I feel like my body is falling apart, I feel sick here and there, I have ear infection that causes me to have a headache every now and then. Currently, it's way beyond my period dates but I still have discharges and I can't help but worry.
I have a presentation for my research tomorrow and I am not ready at all, I can't do my work so much because of my body condition.
I really don't know what is happening but I just want to get better ๐ญ

He doesn't have much time because of work, you don't have either, and (considering you're a hunter) probably the few times you see each other you might fight because he's worried about you but then you call him out on his hypocrisy.
He is a sweetheart and whatever he does, he does for you, but Zayne only knows one way of love, and is giving his entire existence to you.
And ceasing it with you too.
Okay, I'll take it easy on this one... I hope
Listen... We all know that Rafayel pampers MC to DEATH and it's so ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Would burn down the entire ocean if you wanted fried fish for breakfast.
But it doesn't change the fact that because of him, children, elders, adults, pregnant all died
Waiting for their God to save them,
Praying for their God to rescue them from their fate.
But little did they know that their God had turned his back on them, just to save you.
And what else could they do?
Besides watching their God give his heart to his beloved, leaving them doomed to their end.
Sometimes, you have nightmares of screams muffled by the crashing waves and a loud beating heart, and the sight of the ocean turning red covered in pearls.
He's prone to say mean things when he's mad and gets jealous quite easily.
And there's so much in his chest that he might blame you for things that happened in the past, and when you're obviously confused because you don't remember and he didn't tell, he will push you away until he can slip his usual mask up again.
Also, one to mask his feelings.
"Oh but that's not a real red flag" Honey it is, the problem is that it affects him and since you love him it affects you too!
And listen, he wishes he could open up to you, tell you everything, his fears his troubles, but he's too afraid of losing you, of coming too strong.
And you wished he could tell you so he could release the pain in his chest but he won't.
So even if you see the sad glint in his eyes, he will not open up.
He can't bring himself to tell you the price he paid to love you.
Nor the fact that he would do it again.
Like my pookie @chaos-in-deepspace said: "Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss" and they're so right ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Looked at us in the eye when we asked him if he was Lumiere and acted like we were crazy ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ
And whenever you confront him about an important matter he just goes:
You have to kabedon his ass until he yields and dude, it gets pretty annoying.
HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION
HE WILL GET DECAPITATED FOR YOU AND JUST DO A THUMBS UP THAT GUYY
And yes, you love your soft boy, your good-looking boy.
BUT HE DOESN'T STOP COMING HOME INJURED
And as much as you nag him, he doesn't say about where he was and what he was doing and that you can't even come to terms with, but he won't even tell you where he is in case he is in danger.
So depending on how much of a worry-wart you are, this relationship will be a nightmare ๐๐
And also, like Sylus in a way ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
He WILL kill anyone if they mean any harm to you now or in the future.
And unlike Sylus, he does not care if it's a Linkon Citizen, if this person can be dangerous for you even in the future this person will be gone.
And you won't find out, like ever.
Jeremiah knows better than to question Xavier when he comes all bloodied at his shop.
Low-key, highly prone to be a yandere, more than any other LADS boy ๐๐๐

These red flags make them feel more human to me, I won't say it's a good thing but every human has at least one red flag and for them having red flags makes them more realistic.
Special Xavier Interaction ๐ฐโญ๏ธ โI am a bad bunny.โ
If you own Xavierโs outfit Butlerโs Rules, allow him the option to dress himself, and he absolutely thrashes you in Kitty Cards, thereโs a chance that the next day Xavier will don his butler outfit and give you this special interactionโฆ
