“no, pay attention to me, no more phone for you tonight pips,” he tries to sound like his usual self, stern and self assured, but his words slur together as he tries to make the room stop spinning as he squints.

xavier only has one thing in his mind after grueling missions: get home and sleep.
he doesn’t care how dirty his uniform is, if he has dried blood on him or if his hair is a mess. all he cares about is laying down and sleeping.
all he wants to do is plop on the floor or the couch and sleep; but you won’t allow it.
“you have blood on your face and smell like sweat” you cringe, pulling him through his apartment by his wrist. you know he was more than capable of overpowering you, he could easily break out of your grasp and do as he pleases.
“‘m tired, i can shower after i wake up,” he protests, eyes closing as he trails behind you, opening them slowly when you flick the restroom light on.
“or we can shower now and sleep in clean clothes in the sheets we washed yesterday,” you reply, turning the water on and letting it run as you turn back to your lover.
“we?”
“we,” you nod, biting back your laughter when xavier’s entire demeanor shifts. his eyes are wide open now, sparkling a bit as he stares back at you. your fingers reach his collar, making quick work of his clothes and helping him out of them. xavier groans softly as he raises his arms, sore muscles screaming at him as he moves.
you take your clothes off after, walking towards the shower and humming when the temperature is finally to your liking, “cmon,” you say softly, smiling when xavier finally steps into the warm water.
a relieved sigh leaves his lips, eyes fluttering shut as his muscles relax underneath the water. you smile softly at him, the steam from the water enshrouding the two of you as you reach up to help soak his hair, gently moving him out from under the shower head. Xavier’s eyes flutter open, gaze trained on your face as you reach for his shampoo, the smell of chamomile fills the restroom as you squeeze the bottle.
your eyes meet his for a second, you place a quick kiss to his cheek before your hands are in his hair, fingers scratching his scalp and lathering the shampoo over every silver stand. xavier bends down a little, knowing your arms would burn from having to reach upwards. he lets his eyes close, allowing himself to relax and be pampered. a dull ache in his chest slowly fading away with your loving movements.
xavier washes the shampoo out of his hair as you lather yours, a quiet harmony between the two of you. you ask him to turn around, taking the loofah from his hands and scrubbing his back, massaging his muscles as you go. your lover does the same for you, pressing a gentle kiss to your shoulder before letting you move under the shower head.
when the two of you are finally clean you hand him a towel, wrapping yourself in one before stepping out of the shower. xavier trails after you, watching as you step into his bedroom and open his drawers to hand him clean clothes.
the actions make his heart beat a little faster, he watches you navigate the room like it was your own, like you were always meant to be here.
you slip into one his t shirts and boxers, patting the spot between your legs for him to sit between. you towel dry his hair, your fingers raking through them to undo any knots until it’s only slightly damp.
“okay, now we can sleep,” you mutter, placing a kiss to the top of his head. xavier wastes no time in moving besides you, quickly taking you in his arms and holding you closely.
he’s quiet for a moment, staring at you with all the love in the universe in his eyes. then he speaks, voice gentle as always, shaking slightly, “move in with me.”
the five words make you freeze, eyes going slightly wide as your mouth opens in shock.
“you’re here most of the time, we spend all our time together, i love you so much my star, i want to spend every moment i can with you,” his eyes hold your gaze. “I want to come home and see you here, i want to shower with you after a long day, i want to have dinner with you in our home, i want everything that is mine to be yours.”
his grip around you tightens slightly, the intensity in his eyes only growing as he speaks. you can hear your heart in your ears as you process his words, teetering the line of excitement and anxiety as you stare back at him.
you hear the birds chirping outside the window, the smell of the laundry detergent you’d picked out for his sheets fills your nose. the smell of his shampoo now in his hair and yours.
he was your home, it didn’t matter which floor of the building your were in, you just wanted to be with him.
after a second, you nod. the smile on your face only widening when xavier quite literally lights up, pulling your face to his as his lips meet yours. the two of you giggle between kisses, sweet nothings being exchanged through hushed whispers.
“i love you angel eyes,” you mutter against his skin, placing a gentle kiss before nuzzling yourself closer to him.
“i love you more, starlight,” he sighs happily, eyes closing as his muscles relax.
there’s a beat of silence.
“how are we splitting rent?”
xavier’s eyes snap open as he stares at you in disbelief.
a/n: i want to shower him and clean him up and show him how much i love him , i need to take care of my glorp
there’s a lull in time in the mornings for xavier. the moments where he wakes up before you, before the day begins as the sunlight bleeds through the curtains, the first birds beginning to chirp and cars beginning to drive.
he feels you before he sees you, eyes still closed as he squeezes his arms around your figure, making sure you were still in his embrace. your warmth makes his lips tug upwards ever so slightly, a tiny breath of satisfaction leaving his nose. he listens to your soft snores, your even breathing and the softest noises you make in your sleep.
when he opens his eyes he feels his stomach flip, the way it always does when he sees you. the curve of your lips, your messy hair, the twitch in your nose, your furrowed brows.
so beautiful, he thinks, he fights the urge to trace your features with his finger, not wanting to disturb your peace. xavier watches you for a minute or two, memorizing everything about you like he’s done every morning since the two of you began dating. he knows your every mole, every freckle, acne scar, stretch mark. he knows it all, and loves it more and more with every passing second.
you stir slightly, flipping on your side and burying your head into his chest, nose now squishes against his pec as you fall back into a deep sleep. xavier smiles, grateful you can’t hear how his heart pounds in his chest even after all these years.
xavier watches you for a while longer, loving the way the sunlight caught your hair, finally giving in and brushing a strand behind your ear. he smiles widely when you unconsciously lean into his touch, even asleep you still gravitate towards him.
when you finally wake up, xavier closes his eyes, pretending to be asleep. he can picture the triumphant smile on your face, the way your sleepy eyes slowly fill with life and love as you come-to.
“you still sleeping?” you whisper, voice slightly raspy. xavier stirs, fighting back a smile as he flutters his eyes open, feigning exhaustion.
“g’morning starlight,” he mumbles, half his face still squished against the pillow.
“i woke up before you today,” you grin, placing a kiss to his cheek before settling back into his arms, “so you have to make me breakfast.”
“you did,” he hums out, closing his eyes again as he scoots even closer to you, your legs intertwining with his. “what do you want for breakfast today?”
he has your mannerisms and facial expressions etched into his mind and heart, knowing the thoughtful pout you had on your lips. one eye opens slightly, the exact expression on your face, he smiles.
when you finally give your reply with a smile xavier hums in approval, placing a kiss to your forehead before snuggling with you for a moment longer. he lets the moment settle into his body.
xavier loves mornings.
a/n: small soft xavier drabble :3 I didn’t wanna study for histo so i did this instead :P i hope u guys liked it !!
he tells you time and time again nothing will ever change his stance on the tiny apex predator who lounges around your apartment, staring at him and blinking slowly.
“look they’re even mocking me!” he pouts, crossing his arms and turning to you, “cutie can’t we just go to mine?”
“they slow blink when they love you, and no we go to yours all the time! we need to spend more time with our kid,” you emphasize the ‘our’ despite having had the cat before you’d met rafayel.
“that is not mine,” he huffs, narrowing his eyes at the cat before curling up next to you on the couch. “never gonna change my mind,” he mumbles, cheek squished against you as you run your fingers through his hair.
“you’ll come around, mark my words,” you chuckle, kissing his forehead and smoothing the wrinkles between his brows. rafayel shakes his head ‘no,’ side eyeing your cat as they stretched out and jumped to stare out the window.
two weeks later the three of you head to the beach, (rafayel was strongly against the kitty invading his “safe space,” you convinced him with many kisses), and lo and behold; your cat walks RIGHT into the ocean and starts swimming like it’s no one’s business.
rafayel’s knees hit the ground, hands covering his mouth as he stares at your cat, swimming right up to the shore and meeting him in the sand, headbutting the artist and staring up at him, as if waiting for his approval.
a small ‘mreow’ leaves the felines mouth, wet fur rubbing on rafayel before turning around and getting back in the water, swimming in a circle before facing your boyfriend once more.
“look he turned out to be part fish like his dad!” you tease, holding the leash tightly so your kitty didn’t swim too far. you turn to look at Rafayel, biting back your laughter when you see tears welling in his eyes as he looks at cat, arms extending and scooping the wet ball of fur into his chest.
“please forgive daddy for being mean to you, my sweet sweet baby,” he murmurs into the cats fur, placing kisses to its small face. you can hear your cat purring, your jaw almost on the sand as you take in the sight before you.
“bet you like seafood too huh? want some lobster? dads got some scallops he can make you, yes he can,” he coos softly, voice softer and a higher pitch than usual.
rafayel, notorious cat hater, was placing a flurry of kisses on your cats face. and your cat was having the time of its life, eyes shut and tail swooshing languidly.
after a moment Rafayel walked deeper in the water with your cat, his sunset eyes shimmering as he watched your cat swim alongside him, soft laughter leaving his body and wrapping around your heart tightly.
“are you gonna get in the water? we’re having so much fun!” Rafayel calls out, he’s sitting in the water, soft waves crashing onto his chest as he watches your kitty carefully, stealing glances at your enamored face.
“yeah ‘m going,” you reply quickly, staring at the pair quietly for a moment before walking towards them, placing a kiss to Rafayels cheek when you get next to him.
“told you you’d come around,” you mumble with a grin, nudging your boyfriend. he scoffs at you, a smile still on his face as he watches you cat swim up to him once more, meowing to be picked up, he obliges immediately.
“yeah, yeah, guess my cutie knows me better than i do myself,” he hums happily. your heart flutters in your chest, stomach flipping as rafayel turns to you with an equally love struck look on his face.
a/n: this is based off this tiktok i saw and immediately thought of raf hehe,, sorry if this is buns i wrote this between study breaks and just wanted to post it lolz
xavier tells you there’s no need for you to buy candles or flashlights for the incoming storm tonight, there’s no way it’ll be strong enough to cause the building to lose power.
halfway through the movie the two of you put on, there’s a flash of lightning bright enough to illuminate the dimly lit room, followed by a clap of thunder that shakes your windows. you turn to xavier.
“it’s okay, see the power didn’t even-”
the tv goes black, the fairy lights you had plugged in immediately shut off and you’re left in complete darkness and silence. the only noise you hear are raindrops hitting the windows.
you pull xavier closer to you, pressing a kiss to his neck, then his jaw and finally his lips, tugging his hair slightly and smiling when you elicit a soft moan from him. your eyes flutter open, grinning when the small specks of light float around the two of you, softly illuminating the space.
“i guess i don’t need any candles when I’ve got my star around huh?”
xavier blushes profusely, the orbs brightness only increase at your words. “you’re just using me,” he pouts, leaning towards you and brushing his lips against the skin of your neck.
“mmm only because i love you,” you mutter out, eyes fluttering shut as he mouths at your neck.
“there’s another way to make them glow brighter, do you wanna try it?” he voice is just above a whisper, body already moving to cage you beneath him.
before you can respond the tv turns back on, the movie resuming and you both jump at the sudden noise. you stare at xavier, bursting into a fit of giggles at his annoyed expression.
“can’t believe i got cockblocked by some lights,” he mumbles, moving off of you and back to his original spot. you grab him by the strings of his hoodie, pulling back to you and crashing your lips onto his.
“i think it’s still a little dark in here, don’t you think?”
xavier has to stop himself from turning into a human flashbang at your words.
a/n: I JUST WROTE SOME BULLSHIIIIITTTTTT !!! it’s raining so hard here and i write this to procrastinate my studying oopsies, might bc ooc :P
thinking about how feral xavier gets the first time he sees you dressed down 💭
xavier had only seen you in two modes: working and dressed to the nines for the associations gala’s. both ways made his heart stutter, his palms sweaty and his face flush. even when he’d gone over to your place, you’d always been rather put together before he arrived.
so when he sees you at the convenience store at 1 am he stops in his tracks, willing his jaw shut as he takes you in.
your hair is a mess, sticking in every direction, glasses balancing on your nose and not a hint of makeup on your skin. the sweatshirt you’re wearing is two sizes too big, your pajama shorts barely covering the upper half of your thighs.
you’re oblivious to how beautiful you look, pushing your glasses up your nose and heading to the register, a polite smile on your face.
xavier is ripped out of his trance when the cashier flashes you a sweet smile, “i haven’t seen you around this late,” the man grins, you let out a small chuckle. a couple seconds later xavier is by your side, setting his cup of ramen with your things and standing closer to you than he usually does.
the moment you feel his presence your face heats up, trying to fix your hair as best you can and try and look somewhat presentable.
“i usually do her errands when it’s this late,” he speaks up, eyes narrowing at the man. his gaze makes him stand straighter, clearing his throat and quickly checking the two of you out. xavier pays before you can protest, grabbing your things and leading you out of the store.
the edge in his voice makes your face grow hotter, the feeling of his hand on your lower back feels electrifying. you’re suddenly hyper aware of your appearance, wishing you could crawl into a hole and never face the handsome man at your side again. how did he look so good at 1 am?
“why are you up so late?” you break the silence, trying to grab your bag from his hands but failing.
“woke up from a nap and was hungry,” he shrugs, “how come you never let me see you like this?” he follows up quickly, head tilted to the side as he stares at you intently.
you shy away under his gaze, looking the opposite direction and trying to hide your face from his view. “i-i look terrible, i don’t want you seeing me like this and-”
before you can finish your sentence you walk straight into Xavier’s chest, stumbling back a bit and staring up at him in confusion. “what?” you huff, his brows were furrowed at you, a swirl of emotions you can’t read in his eyes. you take a couple steps back.
“you know how hard you’re making this for me?” he exhales, moving to close the distance between the two of you. you can’t help but step back, your back hitting the brick wall behind you.
“what are you talking about?” you breathe out, his body impossibly close to yours. your gaze flickers down to his lips, swallowing harshly before focusing on his eyes.
“you seriously don’t realize it? you don’t see how crazy I am for you? how badly i want to be yours? have I not made my feelings for you obvious enough?” his warm breath fans over you, index finger finding its way under your chin and lifting it softly, ensuring you were looking at him.
your glasses are slowly sliding down the bridge of your nose, balancing on the very tip as you stare up at xavier. should you go for it? finally cross the line of partners, neighbors and possible situationship?
xavier beats you to it, gently fixing your glasses before crashing his lips onto yours in a harsh contrast. you waste no time in kissing him back, hands finding purchase in the hair at the nape of his neck, sighing softly when he pulls you closer to him by your waist.
“you’re so fucking beautiful like this,” he mumbles against your lips, diving back into the kiss and barely giving you time to breathe.
“xavier,” you whimper, softly pushing him away as you try and catch your breath. your glasses are crooked now, staring at xavier like he hung the stars.
“sorry,” he mumbles, fixing your glasses once more before clearing his throat. “if I crossed a line I’m sorry, I just-” you don’t let him finish his sentence, wrapping your arms around his neck and placing a softer kiss to his lips.
when you pull away xavier is glowing, the streetlights flickers softly as you smile up at him. “i really like you too, xavier,” you confess, “i didn’t think this would be the way i looked when you kissed me though,” you joke.
the silver headed hunter takes offense at your words, “what’s wrong with this? you look amazing like this,” he ears are burning as he speaks, the two of you walking hand in hand back to your building.
“you dont have to lie xav, i promise ill still like you even if you tell me the truth,” you laugh softly, xavier just furrows his eyebrows.
“will you let me see you like this more often? please?” the not-so subtle desperation in his voice makes your stomach flip.
“don’t you prefer me actually dressed nicely? with my hair done and not looking like a raccoon?” you’re sure he can hear the pounding of your heart, he shakes his head at you question.
“i like seeing you like this, it’s taking everything in me to not kiss you again,” he admits, “plus i love raccoons.” his words make you laugh, biting your bottom lip as you look at him. his hand is gripping yours tightly, and you can’t help but notice the growing problem in his grey sweats.
“do you wanna come back to mine then? you don’t have to hold back anymore,” you breathe out, eyes focused on the elevator buttons. you can hear the blood rushing in your ears, your adrenaline emboldening you.
“no take backs,” xavier smirks, before you can get another word in the elevator doors are opening and you’re in your apartment before you know it.
a/n: i was inspired by this tweet :P this might be some bullshittttttt but i hope someone enjoys it !! :3
