in the moment, xavier swears he doesn’t know what’s hit him. he absolutely has never felt so overwhelmed in his life. he’s swept up in the feelings, and his heart is going a hundred miles per hour. his stomach feels like it’s going to explode with a thousand fluttering creatures, and he’s just completely and utterly shocked. he doesn’t speak at first. he’s quiet and demure while trying to process everything the british prince has admitted. “ albie… ” his voice trails off. say it, dumbass. say it, echoes throughout his mind. he wants to say he loves him, always has, and always will. but he can’t, not with albie in his current state. they’re both plastered off their asses, but he doesn’t want to do anything he’d regret. for once in his life, xavier kennedy is going to be a responsible adult. “ albie, ” he starts, loudly and clearly, “ you could never be a one night thing. i mean that. i’d never treat you like that. you’re so much more to me than that. you’re my friend. i’m not going anywhere without out. ”
xavier feels his better judgement fly out the window. he can’t hold himself back any longer, can’t withhold the truth from albie. “ fuck it, ” he mutters under his breath. “ albie windsor, i have loved you since i was sixteen years old. sixteen. all this bullshit i do? it’s because i can’t stop thinking about you… about how your fucking lips felt so good on mine when we snuck off from our parents and spent all day together. i’ve tried to get over you because i thought you didn’t like me like that. and no matter what i do, i can’t. it’s impossible, albie, ” xavier admits. he’s so worked up now he’s got tears streaming down his pale face. he smears them away with the sleeve of his shirt, eyes burning from the salinity. xavier steps forward boldly, his hands on albie’s face. “ i love you too, albie windsor, ” he whispers before his lips are on the other’s. they linger there for a moment, trying to cherish the moment. “ now, let’s go home. ”
he actually rolls his eyes when he calls him his friend, and in any other situation he’d be happy to hear that word escape xavier’s lips. however, right now, it felt like a strategy, trying to shut him up. nobody liked being friend-zoned by the person they loved and albert windsor was no exception. he’d get over it, he’d have to -- then again...he’d tried getting over it for the past few years or so and if anything his feelings for xavier had just been growing and blossoming ever since. what happens next he doesn’t anticipate. eyes widen and frantically search his expression to make sure he’s actually hearing him correctly. he’s not losing his mind. it’s everything, more than he could have ever dreamed of -- more than he had ever dreamed of. for years he’d imagined what it would be like to hear those words escape xavier’s lips, but nothing could have prepared him for the way his heart soared when they actually did. tears continue to sting his hues, fall down his cheeks but he ignores them for the time being. he’s sure his heart is on the brink of exploding, or...maybe it already had done but he was all too worked up by what the other male was saying to him. as soon as he feels his hands on his cheeks, he immediately relaxes a little bit. lashes flutter as his eyes come to a gentle close and he grips at the side of the other prince’s shirt, not wanting to let go. “okay,” he chokes out; his voice all the more gravelly because of how much he’d used it. “let’s go.” grabbing onto his hand, he wills himself to calm down a little bit; wills his eyes to reopen, still slightly scared that he’ll wake up to find this was all a dream. it takes him a moment or two to actually find the vehicle they were supposed to get into, but soon enough he’s climbing in. almost losing his balance in the process; head resting against the window.
