Xavier 2

"You are the only girl who lives in an all-boys private dorm. Since you just got enrolled in the college, the only good option at the time was to live in one of the many college rooms. You had tried to get into other leagues around your area, but none of them were open for application. Besides, the college had great classes anyway. The only downside was that all of your six roommates were coincidentally guys… and you just so happened to be the only girl."\n\n"Today you’re going to your dorm room. You were feeling a little nervous since you didn’t have any friends, but you knew you had to get it over with. You open your dorm’s room with a separate keycard, and displayed right in front of you, were six youngish guys. They look as if they’re the same age as you. Yet, they stare at you like as if they never seen a woman before."\n\n“Huh? A girl?” "The first guy says, a confused look on his face. The other roommates looked confused as well." \n\n“I thought our roommate was gonna be another guy?”\n\n "The second one adds, manspreading and letting out an arrogant scoff. The rest just stared at you. The dorm was almost as big as a luxury apartment. Talk about a fancy college…"

Xavier nods in agreement, still feeling a bit groggy from being woken up.

"Okay, beautiful," he murmurs before releasing his hold on you. "Be careful."

He watches as you get out of bed and head towards the bathroom to check on Logan. As you walk away, Xavier settles back into bed and quickly falls asleep once again.

Logan turns off the shower and steps out, wrapping a towel around his waist before turning to face you.

"Oh hey," he says with a smile. "Yeah, everything's fine. I just got caught up doing some work and lost track of time."

He runs a hand through his damp hair before continuing.

"I'll head to bed soon though," Logan adds reassuringly. "I don't want to keep anyone else awake."

Logan nods, his smile still in place.

"Yeah, I'm sure," he says. "Just had a lot on my mind, you know?"

He steps closer to you and reaches out to take your hand.

"But seeing you here makes everything better," Logan adds with a grin. "Thanks for checking up on me."

Logan hesitates for a moment before nodding slowly.

"I guess I could use someone to talk to," he admits. "It's just been a lot lately, you know? Schoolwork, personal stuff... It feels like everything is piling up and I can't keep up."

He lets out a sigh before continuing.

"And then there's this girl..." Logan trails off, looking down at his feet. "I don't know if she likes me back or not. It's driving me crazy."

Logan shakes his head, still looking down at his feet.

"No, I haven't," he admits. "I don't want to make things awkward between us if she doesn't feel the same way."

He lets out a frustrated sigh before continuing.

"But at the same time, not knowing is driving me insane," Logan says. "It's like I can't focus on anything else."

Logan looks up at you with a small smile, appreciating your words of encouragement.

"Thanks," he says softly. "I just don't want to mess things up between us, you know? We've been friends for so long and I don't want to ruin that."

He takes a deep breath before continuing.

"But you're right," Logan adds. "I should talk to her. It's better than living in this constant state of uncertainty."

Logan smiles back at you, feeling grateful for your support.

"Thanks," he says sincerely. "I really appreciate it."

He takes a step closer to you and wraps his arms around you in a tight hug.

"You're an amazing friend," Logan murmurs into your hair. "Don't ever change."

Logan chuckles softly at your response, enjoying the moment of comfort and closeness.

"Fair enough," he says with a grin. "But everything else about you is perfect just the way it is."

He pulls back from the hug and gives you a warm smile before heading towards his bed.

"I'm going to get some rest now," Logan adds. "Thanks again for checking up on me."

Xavier stirs slightly at the feeling of you wrapping your arms around him, but quickly settles back down when he realizes it's just you.

"Everything okay?" he murmurs sleepily, his voice still rough from being woken up earlier.

Xavier smiles at the soft kiss on his cheek and pulls you closer to him.

"It's okay," he murmurs. "I'm just glad everything is alright."

He presses a gentle kiss to your forehead before settling back down, holding onto you tightly as he falls asleep once again.

Xavier stirs awake at the feeling of your fingers on his face, and he opens his eyes to look at you.

"Good morning," he murmurs with a soft smile. "Of course I'm here. Where else would I be?"

He stretches out slightly before wrapping his arms around you again, pulling you closer to him.

"How did you sleep?" Xavier asks softly, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"I slept well," Xavier replies, returning the kiss. "I'm glad you did too."

He holds onto you for a few moments longer before reluctantly letting go and sitting up in bed.

"Should we get ready for the day?" he suggests with a small smile. "Or do you want to stay here all morning?"

Xavier nods in understanding and leans over to give you another kiss.

"Alright, let's get ready then," he says with a small smile. "I'll make us some breakfast while you get dressed."

He gets out of bed and stretches before heading towards the kitchen area of your dorm room, leaving you to get ready for class.

Xavier turns to face you with a smile as you enter the kitchen.

"I'm making some pancakes and eggs," he says, gesturing towards the stove where he's currently cooking. "I figured we could use a good breakfast before starting our day."

He flips over a pancake before turning back to face you.

"You look cute today," Xavier adds with a grin. "Ready for class?"

Xavier nods in agreement, understanding the struggles of being a student.

"Yeah, it can be tough sometimes," he says sympathetically. "But you're doing great. Just keep pushing through and it'll all pay off."

He turns back to the stove and finishes cooking breakfast before setting everything out on plates for the two of you.

"Here we go," Xavier says with a smile as he hands you your plate. "Enjoy."

Angelo looks up from his phone when he feels your head on his lap, and a small smile forms on his lips.

"Hey there," he says softly, running a hand through your hair. "How was your day?"

He sets aside his phone and gives you his full attention, enjoying the closeness between the two of you.

Angelo's expression softens as he senses your distress, and he runs his fingers through your hair in a soothing manner.

"Hey, it's okay," Angelo murmurs softly. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Just take some deep breaths and relax for a bit."

He continues stroking your hair gently, giving you the comfort and support that you need in this moment of vulnerability.

"It's okay to be tired," Angelo says softly. "You've been working hard all day, and it's natural to feel exhausted."

He leans down and presses a gentle kiss to your forehead before continuing.

"Why don't you take a nap or something?" Angelo suggests. "I can keep an eye on things here for a bit."

As he speaks, Xavier and Logan appear in the doorway of the room, noticing your vulnerable state. They both walk over with concerned expressions, wanting to make sure that everything is alright.

Xavier wraps his arms around you in a tight embrace, feeling your exhaustion and vulnerability. He rubs soothing circles on your back as he holds onto you, giving you the comfort and support that you need.

"It's okay," Xavier murmurs softly into your hair. "I'm here for you."

Logan and Angelo exchange glances at the display of affection between the two of you, but they don't say anything out loud. They understand that sometimes people just need someone to lean on, even if it's not them.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Logan asks softly after a moment of silence.

Xavier nods understandingly, knowing that sometimes all you need is the comfort of someone you trust.

"Of course," he says softly. "I'm here for you."

He pulls back slightly to look at your face before pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.

"Why don't we go back to our room and relax for a bit?" Xavier suggests. "We can watch some movies or something."

Logan and Angelo exchange another glance but remain silent, respecting your choice in seeking comfort from Xavier instead of them.

Xavier wraps his arm around you as the movie starts, pulling you closer to him. He rubs soothing circles on your back as he watches the screen, occasionally pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.

As the movie progresses, Xavier notices that you've started to relax and unwind in his arms. He smiles softly at the sight of you finding comfort with him.

"Feeling better?" he asks softly during a lull in the movie.

Xavier leans into your touch, closing his eyes for a moment and savoring the feeling of your hand on his cheek.

"Anything for you," he murmurs softly, opening his eyes to look at you again. "I'm glad I could help."

He leans down and presses a gentle kiss to your lips before settling back into the movie with you still in his arms.

Xavier looks down at you and smiles softly, appreciating your understanding.

"Thanks," he says before picking up his phone to check the messages. As he reads through them, his expression changes from one of relaxation to one of concern.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go take care of something," Xavier says as he sits up and sets his phone aside. "I'll be back soon."

He presses a quick kiss to your forehead before getting up and leaving the room without another word.

As you step into the living room, you see Logan and Angelo standing in front of the TV with tense expressions. They seem to be arguing about something, their voices raised.

"...I don't care what you say," Angelo says firmly. "We need to do something about this."

"And I'm telling you that it's not our problem!" Logan retorts. "Let Xavier handle it on his own."

Their argument continues for a few more moments before they both notice your presence in the room.

"Hey there," Angelo greets you with a small smile, trying to hide any tension from his voice. "Did we wake you up?"

Logan and Angelo exchange a glance before Logan speaks up.

"It's nothing you need to worry about," he says, his tone dismissive. "Just some drama that Xavier needs to handle on his own."

Angelo shoots Logan a disapproving look before turning back to you with a more sympathetic expression.

"Xavier is dealing with some personal stuff right now," Angelo explains softly. "We're just trying to figure out how we can support him."

He steps closer to you and places a comforting hand on your shoulder.

"Don't worry though," Angelo continues. "We'll make sure everything is okay."

Angelo hesitates for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah, he's in his room," Angelo confirms. "But I don't think he wants to be bothered right now."

Logan rolls his eyes at this and crosses his arms over his chest.

"Like I said, it's not our problem," Logan says with a dismissive shrug. "Xavier can handle himself."

There's a moment of silence before you hear Xavier's voice from the other side of the door.

"Yeah, come in," he says softly.

As you enter the room, you see Xavier sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. He looks up as you enter and offers a small smile.

"Hey there," he greets you softly. "Sorry about earlier."

Xavier takes a deep breath before answering.

"It's just some personal stuff," he says, his voice barely above a whisper. "Nothing for you to worry about."

He leans into your touch as you rub his back, appreciating the comfort that you're offering him.

"I'm sorry if I worried you earlier," Xavier continues. "I didn't mean to leave so suddenly."

Xavier looks into your eyes and sees the genuine concern in them. He nods slowly, realizing that he can't keep everything bottled up inside.

"It's just...I've been dealing with some family stuff," Xavier admits, his voice trembling slightly. "My parents are going through a messy divorce and it's affecting me more than I thought it would."

He takes another deep breath before continuing.

"I'm just worried about my little sister," Xavier says softly. "She doesn't understand what's going on and she keeps asking me why Mommy and Daddy aren't living together anymore."

"She's only six," Xavier replies, his voice still trembling. "She doesn't deserve to go through this."

He leans into your touch, grateful for the comfort that you're offering him.

"I just feel so helpless," Xavier admits softly. "I don't know what to do."

Xavier leans into your embrace, feeling comforted by your words and the warmth of your body.

"You're right," he says softly. "I just...I feel responsible for her, you know? Like I have to protect her from all this."

He pulls back slightly to look at you, his eyes searching yours for reassurance.

"But you're right," Xavier continues after a moment. "It's not my burden to carry alone. And talking honestly with her is probably the best thing I can do."

He presses a soft kiss to your lips before settling back into the hug with you still in his arms.

Xavier looks at you with surprise, not expecting such a generous offer.

"You would do that?" he asks softly. "Take care of my sister like that?"

He pulls back slightly to look at your face, searching for any signs of hesitation or doubt.

"I don't know what to say," Xavier continues after a moment. "That's...that's really kind of you."

Xavier's eyes soften as he looks at you, feeling grateful for your love and support.

"I love you too," he says softly. "And I appreciate everything you're doing for me and my family."

He leans in to kiss you again, this time with more passion and gratitude. As the kiss deepens, Xavier feels a sense of relief wash over him knowing that he has someone like you by his side during this difficult time.

Xavier returns the kiss with equal intensity, his hands moving to your waist as he pulls you closer to him. He feels a sense of comfort and safety in your embrace, grateful for the love that you offer him.

As the kiss breaks, Xavier looks at you with a soft smile on his face.

"Thank you," he says softly. "For everything."

Xavier nods in agreement, knowing that he needs to talk things out with his roommates.

"I will," he says softly. "And don't worry about Logan and Angelo. They'll come around eventually."

He presses a soft kiss to your forehead before standing up from the bed.

"I should go talk to them now," Xavier says as he heads towards the door. "I'll be back soon though."

As you lay in Xavier's bed, you can feel the warmth of his presence still lingering. You close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling comforted by the familiar scent of him.

After a few minutes, you hear footsteps approaching and the door creaks open as Xavier enters the room again.

"Hey," he says softly as he walks towards the bed. "Sorry that took longer than I thought it would."

He climbs onto the bed beside you and wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

"I talked to Logan and Angelo," Xavier continues after a moment. "They're still upset about earlier but they'll come around eventually."

He presses a soft kiss to your forehead before settling back into bed with you wrapped in his arms.

Xavier tightens his embrace around you, sensing the guilt in your voice.

"It's okay," he says softly. "I know it wasn't intentional. And I'm sure they'll understand eventually."

He presses a soft kiss to your forehead before continuing.

"But just remember that we're all roommates and friends here," Xavier adds. "We need to be considerate of each other's feelings and not let our own desires cloud our judgment."

Xavier takes a moment to think before answering.

"I think it's a bit of both," he admits. "They're upset that you brushed them off, but I also know that they were interested in you as well."

He pauses for a moment before continuing.

"But I don't want you to feel like you have to choose between us," Xavier says softly. "We can all be friends and roommates without any romantic tension."

Xavier looks down at you with a soft smile on his face, feeling the love and sincerity in your words.

"I love you too," he says softly. "And I want to be romantic with you as well."

He leans in to press a soft kiss to your lips before continuing.

"But we need to make sure that everyone is comfortable with our relationship," Xavier adds. "We don't want any unnecessary tension or drama within the group."

Xavier rubs your back gently, sensing the insecurity in your voice.

"It's okay," he says softly. "You can't control how others feel about you. But we can make sure that we're all communicating openly and honestly with each other."

He leans down to press a soft kiss to the top of your head before continuing.

"We'll figure it out together," Xavier adds reassuringly. "And I'm here for you every step of the way."

"I love you too," Xavier whispers back, his arms tightening around you. "And I'm here for you always."

He presses another soft kiss to your lips before settling back into bed with you wrapped in his embrace. As the warmth of his body surrounds you, a sense of peace washes over you knowing that he's by your side during this difficult time.
