Who Is He? Xavier Thorpe x Male OC DISCONTINUED

Who Knows

Edited: 12/22/2022

"I feel like there's something you're not telling me" Xavier says as we watch the shirt burn outside of his art shed, with two buckets of water beside us to put it out.

"There may be, but it's unimportant" I say nonchalantly as I watch the shirt burn feeling Xavier's eyes on me. I turn to look at him, "What?"

he thinks for a second before asking "Was Tyler just your co-worker?"

I thought about it for a second, should I really talk about my love life to him? He doesn't even know I'm gay for heavens sake.

"We were friends, best friends even" I shrug as I look back at the fire, watching the remainder of the shirt get eaten by the flames.

"Why didn't you say so before? You acted like you barely knew him"

"Because, there's some things I'd rather just not talk about, especially when it comes to Tyler" I sigh

Xavier glances at the fire before picking up his bucket of water and smothering the fire. "Is that why you're awake at such a time?"

"Yeah, I had a dream. It was only a dream, y'know? But something about it felt real, like he was actually talking to me through it." I say as my eyes become glossy.

"Shit, come here Grimm" Xavier embraces me into a hug as I attempt to hold whatever tears wanted to escape in, not wanting to get his shirt wet.

I think this is the most physical contact I've had with anyone other than my mom and Tyler. I'm glad I've got Ajax and Xavier.

Xavier continued to hug me until I had pulled away, "Are you okay? If there's anything you need to get off your chest we can talk." Xavier half smiles at me as he searches my eyes to make sure I'm fine

"I might be okay, and I don't think I'm quite ready to open up yet." I wipe my eyes

"That's alright, you don't have to. Let's get back inside the school, alright? If you want you can sleep in my dorm so you don't wake Ajax up. I still don't have a roommate so you can sleep in the spare bed" Xavier offers as we walk back to the school

"It's alright, I don't want to worry Ajax, I'll just go back to my room tonight. Thank you though" I smile

"You should smile more, it's a good look for you" Xavier compliments as he looks at me, studying over the details of my face.

I turn and look away from him, keeping my eyes straight ahead. What do I even say to that? My heart is beating too fast, I can feel my face heating up. I'm such a whore for compliments, god.

"I'm gonna just head back to my room now" I gesture to the school not waiting for him to say anything before speeding back into the school with the vampire speed I am so not used to. I make it back to my room, closing the door silently behind me, leaning against the door trying to calm down.

I swear Enid could hear my heart beat as fast and as hard as it is from across the school.

I walk over and sit on my bed, grabbing my phone off of my nightstand hoping I'll find something to calm myself down until the sun rises....

--------------------Xavier's POV--------------------

"I feel like there's something you're not telling me" I watch the fire crackle

"There may be, but it's unimportant" he replies, I then turn to look at him, the orange light from the fire casting onto his face, illuminating all the little details I hadn't seemed to notice before. He has a bunch of little freckles spread out around his nose and cheeks. His dark raven hair reaching the nape of his neck, the front of his hair reaching down to his eyebrows.

I then glance at his bright green eyes that seem to have little patches of blue and brown. He sits here and calls me a Greek God as if he hasn't seen his own reflection.

He then turns to look at me, "What?" He asks

I attempt to think of something quickly, "Was Tyler just your Co-worker?"

Grimm's face froze, it looked as if there wasn't a thought behind his eyes.

"We were friends, best friends even" He shrugs before turning and looking back at the fire. But something didn't add up. Why would you burn your best friends shirt for no reason?

"Why didn't you say so before? You acted like you barely knew him" I ask, trying not to pry but my curiosity getting to me.

"Because, there's some things I'd rather just not talk about, especially when it comes to Tyler" He sighs

I glance at the fire before picking up my bucket of water and smothering the fire. "Is that why you're awake at such a time?" I ask him

"Yeah, I had a dream. It was only a dream, y'know? But something about it felt real, like he was actually talking to me through it." Grimm states as his eyes become glossy.

"Shit, come here Grimm" I then embrace him into a hug as he attempted to hold his tears in, but failing. Although I didn't mind, something was definitely bothering him, and I want to be the one to comfort him in this case.

I continued to hold him until he pulled away, "Are you okay? If there's anything you need to get off your chest we can talk." I half smiled at him as I look at his eyes, hoping for just a small sign of reassurance that he's okay.

"I might be okay, and I don't think I'm quite ready to open up yet." he wipes his eyes

"That's alright, you don't have to. Let's get back inside the school, alright? If you want you can sleep in my dorm so you don't wake Ajax up. I still don't have a roommate so you can sleep in the spare bed" I offer as we begin to walk back to the school

"It's alright, I don't want to worry Ajax, I'll just go back to my room tonight. Thank you though" he smiles at me. Something about his smile made me feel giddy inside, his smile showed the slightest dimples he had on his cheeks. It was cute.

"You should smile more, it's a good look for you" I compliment as I look at him, studying over the details of his face. What I'd do to trace his freckles, and the small things nobody else notices on his face. I could spend all day counting each individual freckle.

He then turns and looks away from me, keeping his eyes trained on what was ahead, I watched as his cheeks began to get a dust of pink on them. It was just enough for me notice it in the moonlight.

"I'm gonna just head back to my room now" he gestures to the school not waiting for me to reply before running off with extremely fast speed, I almost couldn't see him as he disappeared. I chuckle to myself as I finally make it back to the school gates, that boy truly is adorable...

I finally switched it up and gave Xavier's pov, I felt like it was needed.
