One Way.. or Another?

Me and Wednesday make it back to the tree, spotting Ajax already there. "I was starting to get worried about you guys, It has been nearly 40 minutes." Ajax said as he looked at us "Any luck finding him?"

"Yeah, actually, we did. Just don't tell the other group. I want to keep this between us three. I don't want to drag more people into this unfortunate mess that has been made. He's only back for me" I said and Ajax nodded

"Got it, I won't say anything to the other three"

"Now let's go back to the gate, maybe Xavier and them are done looking around" I suggest

"Alright, let's go" Wednesday says as she begins walking ahead of me and Ajax.

Once Wednesday was out of earshot Ajax spoke up. "You alright? You look a bit shook up"

"I'm okay I think. I mean, I was pretty much forced to listen to Tyler ramble on about me going with him, then Wednesday pulled out a gun, I have no clue if it was real or not. Did you know she had a gun?" I ask

"I didn't, but I wouldn't be surprised. She's crazy, and scary." Ajax says as he smiles and grabs my hand to comfort me as we continue to walk behind Wednesday.

------------------------------------

We make it back to the gate, the other group not in sight. Ajax releases his hand from my own before walking over to the gate and sitting by it. I follow, and sit beside him.

"Do you think they are alright?" Ajax asks

"They have to be, considering Tyler was with me the whole time" I sigh

Not long after I say that, we hear voices. I look over and see the three people we were hoping for, walking back, Enid waving over at us with her over enthusiastic smile, Eugene standing happily beside her, and Xavier trudging behind the both of them looking slightly irritated and frustrated.

"There you guys are!" Ajax said as he gets up and runs over to them as I stay seated. "You guys find anything?"

"Nothing, no tracks, no proof, no nothing. I don't think it's Tyler" Said Xavier as he rubs his temples.

I take in his look for the night, his hair half up in a bun, it's a good look for him. He's also wearing a grey hoodie, and dark blue jeans. Which is coincidentally the same outfit he was wearing when he got arrested, I only know that from the photos I had seen online. I continue to study him and may have let my eyes linger on his hands for two long because Ajax kicked me when he noticed. Probably to make sure I didn't get caught staring.

"Did you guys see anything?" Enid asks with her overwhelming smile still plastered on her face. She's always smiling, I'm starting to think she was born with that smile glued onto her face.

"No, nothing." Wednesday stated simply

"So maybe it wasn't him" Eugene spoke up, I had almost forgot he was here.

"That still doesn't make sense when it comes to who or what killed Raphael." Xavier pointed out

"Good point" I say, playing along with all this.

"Maybe we should all head in, and get some sleep? It's already later than expected and it's Monday, we have classes in 6 hours" Ajax says

"Good idea" I agree, Xavier then holds his extremely attractive hand out to help me up off the ground. Which I obviously took as I got up "Thanks Greek God"

Xavier smiled at me, his eyes slightly shimmering in the moonlight "Anytime"

I take a glance over at Enid who motions for me to make a move, she definitely knows I got a thing for this boy. I advert my gaze back on the boy infront of me.

"Can I take you up on that sleepover offer from the other night?" I ask him which seemed to have caught him off guard slightly

"Well.. I mean.. Yeah sure" he finally got out after stumbling over his own words,

Out of the corner of my eye I could see a look on Ajax's face that I knew immediately was jealousy, I've watched Tyler sport that look many times. But why would Ajax be jealous, and of what?

"Great, lead the way" I smile, while Xavier grabs my hand dragging me back into the school, leaving the group behind with no explanation as to where we are going.

------------------

"Welcome to my humble abode, make yourself comfortable since my dorm is your dorm for the night" Xavier chuckles at himself

"How kind of you, never in my many years of living had I thought a Greek God of all people would share his room with me" I roll my eyes playfully

"Says the other Greek God in the room" Xavier laughs as he falls backwards on his bed.

"That is my nickname for you, find your own, Shawn" I kick one of his legs as they dangled from the bed.

"Shawn?" Xavier questioned as he sat up and rubbed his leg

"Shawn Spencer, the Psychic Detective? Y'know? And his best friend Burton Guster? Have you never seen Psych?" I look at him with a shocked look painted on my face

"Psych? Can't say I've heard it" Xavier laughs

"Wow, your childhood can't be complete without having watched Psych" I kick his leg once more and he just glared at me as a smile creeped upon his face.

"You've done it now" Xavier said and I took that as a hint to run, totally forgetting how small his room is.

Xavier got up to chase me as I jumped over his bed. It was pretty much just a continuous circle until he went back around the other way surprising me, and he grabbed my wrists to stop me from running.

"Okay, okay you win" I say as I try to catch my breath, Xavier's breath also heavy as we both stood there, his hands still wrapped securely around my wrists. That same tension that was held between me and Ajax came back, but between me and this charming boy infront of me.

His eyes trained on my own, as if he was too afraid to look elsewhere. My eyes glued back on his until I started getting nervous, so I began to glance anywhere else besides his eyes. Which landed my eyes on his lips. And he definitely noticed because he started to shift a bit.

"Hey Grimm?" Xavier asks, in a low voice that came out as a whisper.

"Yeah?" I whisper back to him, too scared to bring my eyes back up form his lips

"I think..." he paused for a second "that you wanna kiss me"

I froze momentarily. "Why would you assume that, Thorpe?" I question, my voice cracking slightly mid sentence as my throat was becoming drier by the second the more nervous I got. My heart was pounding in my chest, my palms were getting sweaty, I could feel even the slightest movements of his fingers on my wrists, and all that was on my mind, was his lips.

Xavier then moved his face to the side of my head as he begins to whisper in my ear, "because you won't stop staring at my lips, and it is so very obvious that you're nervous" he moved back to where he was before, a slight smirk playing on his face.

My heartbeat rising as I finally looked back in his eyes, there was definitely that look in his eyes that he was fucking with me. He was waiting for me to bend just slightly, it was like he knew I was to nervous to even make a move.

But the longer I stared into his eyes, glanced at his lips, heard my heartbeat beating in my ears, the heat from his hands on my wrists. I finally broke and leaned in connecting my lips to his, it didn't even take him 5 seconds for his brain to process this as he kissed back immediately.

This kiss wasn't like mine and Ajax's. This one wasn't passionate. This one was hungry, and lustful. Longing and mixed emotions rested behind it. His hands removing from my wrists to be place on my waist as he backed me up against the wall. My hands wrapped around his neck, as we continued to pull each other closer, leaving not an inch of space between us as his body stayed pressed to mine.

Something about this boy made me forget everything, every problem, every thought, every person. It was just me and him in this moment, and I wasn't complaining. I never would.
