Pointing at any slightly old thing and saying "did you know them?" to Xavier
"Don't waste a drop (threat)" Rafayel vs. "I'll make more (threat)" Xavier
I have vivid images of Xavier being the absolute worst while he has the showerhead pointed directly between your thighs, his arm wrapped around your waist, chest pressed to your back, and a big smile on his face while watching you whine and squirm about how he's "not being fair"...
fwb with xavier but he assumed the two of you have been dating this entire time while you've been inwardly agonizing over having fallen for him
Thinking of a camgirl au with Xavier and he just straight up says "this is Xavier btw" in your chat after giving you money
What do we think about fellow backtracker nmc x xavier
Oooh, very intriguing!! I have a ranking of how horrible each LI would be with non-mc and it goes (from healthiest to you're going to be emotionally eviscerated and never recover for as long as you live); Zayne, Sylus, Xavier, Rafayel, Caleb. The order is in no way suggesting that the "healthier" options won't come with some major heartbreak (Sylus is on an entirely different level than Zayne and it gets worse with every tier). Xavier may be 3rd in the list, but the experience you have is absolutely soul crushing.
For you to be a backtracker that believes in Xavier's cause, that would mean you know about Philos!mc and have a deep love/respect/loyalty to her (and Xavier). Xavier is in a deep period of mourning and throws himself into the mission completely. You notice the toll that it's taking on him, but give him space for some time until it's something that can't be ignored any longer. I fear your intentions of comforting him as a friend turns into something else due to the stress you're both under. It's an on and off, very touch and go relationship. Xavier acts like none of it is ever happening and still treats you as a close friend and nothing more. Your feelings for him start to grow but your survivor's guilt and knowledge that you are and never will be mc does plenty to keep you in check.
I think you become a very obvious outlet for Xavier and he has no shame in admitting it. However, he is under the impression that the feeling is mutual. The sex is excellent- very intense. Afterwards, the two of you will just lay together (not cuddling) simply talking about your plans and what your next move should be. There are obvious boundaries and neither of you ever cross them. Xavier gives no room for you to ever be confused about what he wants. And what he wants is not you- not in the way you want to be wanted at least.
Things change when you finally encounter mc that day during the Chronorift Disaster. You see Xavier head straight for mc without hesitation while you're pinned for only a moment by a wanderer. It's not like you can't handle yourself. You weren't truly in any real danger, but the experience is enough to really snap you awake.
Sylus, Caleb, and Xavier who are literally laying all their weight on top of you when they're coming down....like dogs who don't realize how big they are compared to you.
Raf and Xavier are the type to want you to watch as they go in btw (and will make sure you do)
