HAWKEYE, chapter seven
❝have you been drinking❞
One or maybe five bloody mary's later Odette found herself walking towards archery club to see Xavier. Yoko was very convincing when it came to a few more drinks but when Odette thought of putting actual blood in it Yoko had known she might of had one to many and ushered her out of her room.
"Hey Hawkeye!" Odette shouted gaining the long haired boys attention who had now put his hair up. "I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me?" he said, his gaze soft "I don't particularly want to but I have some questions" "oh".
Odette ignored Xaviers slightly disappointed face as she watched his arrow whiz through the air. "I honestly thought it was Wednesday coming up, Weems is making her try all the clubs".
"Oh well sorry for the disappointment" Odette slurred her words out "I'm not disappointed but-" he stopped midsentence as she saw Odette's silly grin "are you drunk?" he asked a subtle laugh afterwards.
"no silly I'm just deranged duh" she said pointing to her head "Yoko's bloody marys?" he asked and she nodded her head sheepishly "they get ya" he said before grabbing another arrow.
"Why are you even here then?" Xavier asked "I said before I have some questions" she reminded him "about what?" "about Rowan".
"Oh the one you mean that was killed by a monster" he said slightly making fun of Wednesday "hey" she said grabbing the bow off him "I believe her".
"It's the only thing that could explain my- my activity last night" she said now grabbing an arrow from the bucket. Xaviers demeanour changed after that before he answered honestly "the harvest festival, haven't seen him since"
"probably because he's dead" Odette told him as he stepped in front of him ready to take a shot.
"his side of the room was packed this morning and he's always been a little off but the last couple of weeks he's been more erratic" Xavier said stepping behind her to let her shoot. When she shot it was completely off course and she laughed hard reminding Xavier that she was a little tipsy.
"how?" she said turning around to the boy who was a little confused "what are you looking at?" she asked
"I'm just wondering why you had to get drunk just to come and talk to me" he said
"and I'm just wondering why you haven't apologised to me yet" she pointed out and Xavier looked down to his feet. "I am sorry about it you know" he said as he received a hummm as a response "I just didn't know how to say it".
"It's not that hard of a task" Odette said, clearly starting to sober up "I know but what I said-" "what you said was really mean, I respect myself a lot and you don't get to decide who I hang with" she pointed at his chest before grabbing another arrow.
"I didn't know what came over me" he responded and Odette didn't reply "It was like a rage which is weird because you were right, I have no reason to hate Eli but at the time I did and I just wanted him away from you" he revealed making Odette chuckle.
"So you were Jealous"
"I was not jealous"
"That is literally the definition of jealousy" Odette laughed "we haven't been friends long enough for me to be jealous" he scoffed "no no it's fine you can't control jealousy" she told him "I was not jealous!" he said defending himself.
"You Xavier Thorpe was jealous of Eli Galpin for talking to me Odette Clarence" she smirked
"Just shoot the damn arrow" Xavier rolled his eyes and Odette turned around. "you didn't deny it that time" she reminded him "okay well I'm denying it now" he said "it's totally fine if you were" she said "well I wasn't he said before he lightly touched Odette's arms putting them into place so she could do it properly.
"Instead of saying I was jealous-" "which you totally where" "which I wasn't ── how about you just focus on not killing anyone" he said before moving closer to her and grabbing her fingers with his to make sure her grip was good enough.
"Is my stance good enough Hawkeye" Odette asked looking back at him to see how close they were, it got rid of her cheesy smile as she looked into his eyes and he stepped back, getting rid of the close proximity they had.
"let it fly" he told her.
So she did. It didn't hit the red target but it actually hit the circle which was better than before, but in her case she was tipsy so it didn't matter. She placed the bow back into Xaviers hands before looking around.
"Well hey I should probably go because I see Wednesday coming but are you sure if I talk to someone else you wont get angry because-" "shut up" Xavier groaned at the teasing before she walked away and nodded at Wednesday with a sly grin as Wednesday looked in disgust as she could tell she was a bit tipsy, she may as well ask all the Rowan questions herself.
But first she stopped and stared at Xavier who was watching Odette walk away. When Xavier turned back to Wednesday he noticed her glare was scarier than usual "whats up?" he asked.
"hurt her again and I will squash your face in and cut off your limbs one by one and leave you to live only for you to be unrecognizable for the rest of your life.
"nice to see you too Wednesday".
