I Should Tell You || Javier

“Needs a little work my ass,” Xavier mumbled as his mind reeled from the talk he’d had with the musical director, Emma Pilsbury. She’d took him aside on the day of their practice run through before their four big weekend performances and critiqued him. Sh told the man that his performance was great, but a certain scene in the show he needed to possibly dial it back a little because with all of the emotion that he was giving, it was hard for him to transition into singing which made it hard to understand what he was singing as his voice was so full of emotion. Xavier rolled his eyes with a sigh. He was well aware of why the emotions ran rampant within him. Auditioning for this musical, he never thought about the fact that Mimi for a few minutes or seconds dies and the characters wait in anticipation, with hopes uplifted and prayers on the tip of their tongues for the limp body to just twitch, move just a centimeter to give them an indication that she was alive.

That scene was too close to home for him. To watch his girlfriend lay there, pretending to be lifeless hit too close. It took him back in his mind’s eye to when he’d lived a moment such as this. During Lynnie’s heart procedure  months ago, he’d watched as doctor’s worked over the woman and then watched them scramble as the woman had flatlined for what seemed like an eternity. His heart had plummeted and his mind was a mess. Xavier’s body rigid and all he could do was pray for his girlfriend to return to  him and when she did it was agreed upon that no one would tell her and wreck her recovery or her psyche. But here he was being tested with this scene. She had to be wondering why he was so extra with this one scene. No matter how great of an actor he was, this one personal experience always seemed to break through. It always seemed to change him. After taking a deep breath, he went to find his girl, preparing to rehearse the scene until he could dial back a little.

He found her on stage and wrapped an arm around her slim waist, kissing her cheek. “Hey, you talk to Miss E today? She said that I was putting a little too much into the death scene and maybe I should dial back. That’s what she wants us to work on. That cool with you?” Despite himself he placed another kiss on her, this time it went to her lips.  Xavier didn’t believe that he could dial back but he’d have to try. He knew that there would be some trial and error here, and lots of it. He just hoped that Lynnie would bear with him so that he could get it right.

A Friendly Bet || Javier

To be so bright, Xavier was so dumb at the moment. What was he thinking making a bet with his girlfriend that he could last without touching her? Every day since they’ve been living together his hands have been on her in some way. When they watched TV sometimes she would start out next to him curled into his side, and the need to have her closer, to be fully touching her overcame him and she wound up in his lap, her tiny frame snuggled close with his arms encasing her. He wasn’t going to make it that was for sure. No matter how much he tried, but he kept telling himself that he’d gone years without touching her before. Being respectful of her personal space. He would simply just get into the mindset of playing a role. A role of a guy that didn’t and couldn’t touch his girlfriend for a day. To keep his hands busy, he did a lot of things that really didn’t need to be done that day. Right now he was in the kitchen, chopping up fruit and vegetables and putting them in separate containers. He reorganized the kitchen cabinets so that everything was neat and it its place, and all of that began early, when he awoke with a situation that normally he would have her help him with. Had he even attempted he would have lost the bet before it even started. Heaving a sigh, Xavier looked for something else to do but failing to see another project, he sat down to grade papers and watch Doctor Who reruns on TV.  He almost sent up a silent prayer to help him get through the day, but he was sure he had will power. He had to have. He survived years with willpower. He could make it through and win this bet. He would. Determination set in and he regained a little hope. At least he’d had a short period of time to get his head in the game before having to endure one of the hardest tests of willpower he’d ever had to go through.

Thinking About the Future || (Future) Javier

Xavier thought over his conversation with his daughter, and he had not a single clue how he was going to bring it up to Lynnie. How did one broach the topic of marriage, joint adoption and the future. He hadn't even proposed yet, wasn't really sure if the two were ready to plan a wedding as they tried to focus on getting their careers up and running and kids...well, they certainly hadn't talked about kids. There were so many things that went into that particular discussion. He wasn't even sure where he stood on having more kids, but when his daughter felt insecure and she worried about whether she would be loved, if another child came into the picture, he had to bite the bullet and speak up.

He walked upstairs to the bedroom he shared with his long time girlfriend, and stood in the doorway waiting to catch her eye. The woman was beautiful and there wasn't a single day that passed that he wasn't thanking God that he'd met her. He was absolutely sure that she wouldn't love his daughter any less, but in this situation, he wanted to make sure that she knew that she was just as much Josie's parent as he and Tam were, along with talking to her about Josie's concerns. For lack of a better way to start, he pushed off the wall and walked further into the bedroom, closing the door behind him. "I'm going to marry you someday." Stripping out of his shirt, he climbed into bed with Lynnie. "And I had this really interesting conversation with our daughter tonight about just that. It lead somewhere that I never thought it'd go. Before we talk about it though, kisses please? Otherwise I'm going to be thinking about kissing you while trying to have a very serious conversation." Wrapping his arms around her, he placed a few light kisses on her lips. "I love you," he told her.

Super Glitch Cuddles || Javier

Xavier kno knew one thing and one thing only as he signed online today and that was that something wasn’t right with his girlfriend. It was funny that the man could be so in tune with her that it took the sight of one picture, and her sad green eyes to know. He hadn’t even read the caption before his fingers were moving to swipe the unlock button on his cell to send her a text. After a few texts he found that the problem was not only her parents but something to do with her heart as well. All she had to utter was one of the two to have him on his feet and packing an overnight bag, but she’d uttered two, making him move that much quicker. Truth be told, she could have said that she stubbed her toe and he would have packed his bag with haste. The young father went to his roommate’s room to let her know where he’d be if she needed him. It was mere habit and he laughed to himself because most of the time he did it in case his daughter awoke, but she wouldn’t be back from New York with his grandmother until this weekend.  Xavier made his way to his car, driving the short distance to Lynnie’s apartment, quickly maneuvering through what little traffic was on the road at this time of night. As he parked, his longs legs made quick strides across the parking lot and arrived at his destination. With a knock he announced, “Nena Bonita, estoy aqui.”

Take Care || Xavier + Lynnie

Xavier had had a pretty busy day with classes and musical practice, which he ducked out of early to see Josie and to help Tam make some baked goods for Lynnie. He'd grabbed some of the stuff he planned to take with him - get well things for Lynnie like cupcakes, one of his favorite blankets with screen shots of vintage comic book covers on the front. He'd run to the store and grab her some soup, since he knew that they didn't have any at home. After packing his bag just in case he decided to stay with her more than one night, he heard tiny footsteps entering his room. Xavier turned to see his daughter holding up a tiger with the words 'get well soon' written on the shirt. "Here," she insisted. Xavier recognized the stuffed animal. He'd bought it for Josie when she'd taken a bad fall and gotten scraped up pretty bad. It wasn't really called for to have the stuffed animal, but well he was a sucker for trying to make his daughter smile.

Frowning he asked, "Are you sure, Corazonita? That's yours." The child shook her head pushing the animal toward him once more. "No it's Lynnie's now. She needs him. I'm not hurt." Her gaze traveled the short distance to scrapes long gone and showed him that she no longer had 'boo boos'. When he didn't take the tiger from her quick enough, she sat it on top of his bag. A chuckle left Xavier at her persistence. "Okay, mija, I got the memo. I'll make sure she gets it." A smile brightened the round faced little girl's features. "Promise?" She stuck up her pinky promise and it made him laugh and think of the woman he was about to go see. She too took her pinky promises seriously. Hooking his pinky with hers, he nodded. "Cross my heart, sweetheart. Daddy promises." Putting the duffel bag on his shoulder, he picked Josie up. "You ready for girls night with Mommy? What are yall gonna do?" he asked the child. She put a finger to her lips. "It's a secret. No boys." Walking with her back into the living room, he handed her off to Tam in the kitchen, where she was packing up the cupcakes with cute little crutches on half and get well soon on the other half in the batch. Giving Josie a parting kiss on the forehead and Tam one on the cheek, head headed to the store to get soup, pudding and dog treats for Snickers.

Once his trip was complete, Xavier pulled into the lot at Lynnie's apartment complex. He walked the short distance to her door, with bags in hand. He used his free hand to knock, letting it be known that it was only him, before he let himself inside. "Hey, Nena, I come bearing gifts and goodies," he told her with a smile. Seeing her put his mind at ease that she was alright. It was knowing that she wasn't feeling well and that her sprained ankle was causing her pain that caused him worry. Xavier was a father, so taking care of people when they were sick was second nature to him. He took care of Tamzin for a nine month pregnancy when morning sickness was a nightmare, and he'd handled all Josie sicknesses, and even Tam's sicknesses like a pro. He was prepared to take care of Lynnie. He wanted to, it was almost like an inherent need to watch over her, make sure she was comfortable and that she didn't get too lonely, or didn't waste away because she hadn't eaten. "how are you feeling?" Xavier asked, sitting his stuff down so that he could greet her properly.

A jaunt across town || Jeffbastian

Sebastian closed his laptop and threw on a coat, today was stupidly windy in New York and he didn't want to be caught outside in a gale. Throwing his heavy grey coat onto his shoulders and pocketing his phone and wallet, he took the elevator down and outside his apartment. After hailing a cab and beginning the drive to NYU, Seb began to wonder what had been on Jeff's mind. It had been well over a week since their impromptu kiss and since then Jeff had spoken to Nick and been to a concert with the talented street singer, which Seb hadn't been invited too. Of course he was angry at that, not being invited to something always hurt, but he had been so busy with uni work that it would have been unlikely he could have gone anyway.

What did play on Seb's mind as the taxi rolled on slowly through the main street was why was Jeff now asking him to come over? What could be so urgent? Was Jeff about to confess his love? was that it? No surely not, there was no way that would happen. Sebastian knew the answer to Jeff's predicament was Nick, it was always the curly haired brunette. Today was no different. This was a courtesy call to say that Sebastian you have no chance, you need to move on.

He pushed his hair into a perfect quiff  and popped his collar before paying the taxi driver and getting out of the cab. Now it occurred to him that he had no idea where Jeff lived in this maze of a university. He pulled out his tone and fired off a text

'Standing near a giant fountain with some pigeons that expect me to feed them -SS '

A very Warbler reunion || Niffbastian

Sebastian threw himself onto the couch, flopping down gleely with his plan. It was going to be a Warbler party at his place. He quickly fired off several more text messages to Jeff, before turning the TV on and waiting for his friends to arrive. He smiled to himself, without Santana home, they would be free to talk about whatever they wanted, how ever they wanted, no having to watch what he said in particular.

He flicked to the comedy channel and watch some Colbert Report, laughing at the presidential race jokes in particular. It was about time they all finally got together again, it had been ages since they had seen each other and Seb really was missing the masculine side of his life. Having Jeff and Nick in town would mean they could do all the things that they used to together. 

He rolled off the couch and jogged over to the kitchen, pulling out some salted cashews to snack on while he waited for the others to arrive.
