“Brendan I know you’re having fun stealing my jackets, but it’s going to be -15 degrees tomorrow and you complain at the average 15. We’re going. You like clothes shopping anyway.”
“Don't bring logic into this conversation.”

@opulentchampion replied: "What was that scene from Lion King again? 'He'd make a very handsome throw rug. And just think: whenever he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him."
He stifles a snicker into his hand.
“Oh dear Arceus, it does not help that his hair is uhm... very alike to a Pyroar. I should not be joking like this oh no.”
It’s a little known fact to most people close to him even, but when Xavier was alone for parts of his journey he often times had Brendan’s company. He looks back now on all the times he’d spent with his friends and it feels like he was hardly ever lonely, but as far as most people were aware he had been alone for some stretches of the road when most of the time he wasn’t.
The memory is bittersweet knowing now that he should’ve just owned up to his feelings for the former Hoenn Champion sooner. They wouldn’t have had that period of ‘maybe maybe not’ if he had, but he’d already apologized for that. Still, he looks out wistfully into the night from his apartment window as he actually is alone for the time being. Forced to come home for the holidays, before he’d try to pull some strings and visit Hoenn again soon.
“Joyeux Noël, mon amour. Tu me manques tous les jours.” He speaks into his xtransceiver for an audio message, who knew what time it was across the world. But he’d see it eventually for certain at least.
@opulentchampion replied: "As long as your Status is Healthy. If your Status becomes Burned I will be sad. Asleep isn't bad, though. Have you slept? Go sleep. I'll Yawn at you."
For a split second he thinks this is a serious talk about emotional well-being in his social status. Which for all intents and purposes... needs work. A lot of it. But when it quickly turns out to be a talk over conditions instead, it gets a laugh from him.
“Okay okay, I hear you. I’ll be sleeping soon, sorry to keep you waiting mon amour.”
@opulentchampion replied: "You're right. You're a little slim for hunky. How about 'Kalosian Studmuffin Kalosian Prince', then?"
He snickers into his jacket. “I don’t know about that either, but it’s nice that you think so anyway.”
“Really I think these titles should go more to you than me in terms of looks. You’re far more handsome.”
@opulentchampion replied: "I don't think it's excessive enough. How about 'Hunky Champion Prince'?"
“Flattering as that may be...” he replies through a laugh. “I think you’re the only one who really has that opinion.”

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re tough to buy for?” Xavier asks with a laugh, bringing over a small box to him on Mewmas morning. “Because I know you, and I know you probably would’ve just said you just want affection.”
“And while that is easily done,” he adds with a cheek kiss. “I did want to at least do something for you for the holiday, so... it’s something you idly talked about awhile back, I hope it’s okay.”
Both of them cared a significant amount about their physical images for one reason or other, and while they did keep themselves well-groomed fine enough he thought it might be fun to have a spa day anyway. This idea was also easily backed up by the fact that earlier on Brendan had pointed out a spa place he teased about looking into before.
So within the small box there were two slips of paper for an all expenses paid spa day for them both. For pretty much whenever they wanted to head in, and for whatever they wanted to have done that day.
“It’s really another date day anyway as it is.” He chimes.
@opulentchampion replied: "If you want, I can always show you fireworks."
“That idea works for me! Somehow forgot about the fireworks show.”
