Who Is He? Xavier Thorpe x Male OC DISCONTINUED

Don't ever be sorry

Ajax stared at me as he questioned what he wanted to say. Probably attempting to find the right words or gathering the courage.

"Grimm.." he trailed off "do you like Xavier? Y'know as more than a friend?" He voice taut

His question caught me off guard, my eyes widening slightly. "I mean, yeah. I believe I do" I reply back confidently, yet still feeling the urge to mess with the hem of my shirt, something I tend to do when I'm nervous.

A glimpse of something flashed in Ajax's eyes but it was gone before I could depict it. His face showed no emotion as he thought once more.

"So our kiss..? What exactly was that? A kiss between friends? Something to forget?" His voice was quiet as he looked down at his hands. I was slightly confused until it hit me. That look on his face, that jealousy that had burned into his eyes, was that because he likes me? Or Xavier? Is that why he's mad? Because I'm stealing the guy he likes? If he had told me I would've stayed away.

"Ajax.. I'll stay away from Xavier. If I knew you liked him I wouldn't have-" I reasoned until he cut me off.

"I don't like Xavier. Don't worry, he's all yours" he then gets up and grabs his uniform jacket as he walks out of the room without giving me a chance to say anything.

Then does that mean, he likes me? Did I mess up? I lay face down on my bed "fuck" I mumbled into my pillow. How do I even begin to fix this? I didn't catch any hints that he liked me...

Well he did suggest that we should kiss more but I thought that was a joke.

He can't just blame me for not realizing his feelings, but at the same time, maybe he thinks I've been leading him on since the almost kiss we had before the actual one.

-----------------Ajax's pov--------------------

After leaving the room, I went to the one person who I knew I could talk to. I knock on the door in front of me, a few footsteps are heard before the door opens revealing Enid.

"Ajax? Are you okay?" She asked, worry being laced in her question

"I'm alright, can I talk to you?" I asked her, my voice hoarse and dry

"Of course, Wednesday isn't here at the moment so we can talk privately" she half smiled closing the door after I walked in.

I take a seat on her bed as she walks over and takes a seat beside me, placing her hand on my back, rubbing it to calm me down.

"What's this about?" She asked quietly

"Grimm" I mutter blandly

"Grimm? What happened?"

"Me and him, there's been this building tension since we came to talk to you but Thing answered the door and you weren't here. Then we actually did kiss" I chuckle dryly

"So what's the problem then? Wait... Him and Xavier." She looked at me with guilt in her eyes "Ajax, I gestured for him to make a move on Xavier. Part of this is my fault"

Ajax looked slightly hurt but then shook it off "it's not your fault if you didn't know. Y'know my feelings started to grow for him when he sat there and held me after you dumped me. He didn't hesitate to listen and be there for me at all. He was just, there. And it made me feel so secure and safe" I pause "then we kissed, and I thought y'know "maybe this is the start of something" then I could tell by the ecstatic look on his face something happened while he was with Xavier."

"I know they've been sneaking around, I watched them run into the nightshade secret room earlier. I'm not sure what happened but I also don't want to know at the same time" I sigh

"Oh.. well maybe he didn't know your feelings. A kiss doesn't define anything unfortunately, maybe he thought you were experimenting with the kiss" she tried to reason

"I did tell him he was the first guy I've kissed" I say coming to the realization that maybe she is right

"So maybe hear him out, alright? Talk to him, clear things up. Don't walk away or storm out and don't let him do the same. Talk it out"

I nod in response to her words as I thought about it for a second. "Alright, thank you Enid. You're truly an amazing friend. Thank you for listening" I smile at her giving her a hug, feeling like a slight weight was lifted

"Now, go get your man" she joked as she pushed me off of her bed and towards the door

"He's not my man" I chuckle

"Yeah, not yet. Good luck" she smiled sweetly before pushing me out the door and closing it.

I took a deep breath and made my way back to my room, hoping that he'd still be there, but a part of me almost wished he wasn't going to be.

I walk into the room seeing Grimm sleeping peacefully on his bed, or so I thought as he began to stir slightly at the sound of the door.

His eyes opening slowly as they adjust to the light. He then glances over to the door, looking at me.

"Hey" his voice was throaty from having just woken up

I say nothing as I stare at him unsure of how to begin my apology.

"What?" He asks

"I'm sorry" I whisper

"Wait what, what are you sorry for?" He sits up "I should be the one saying sorry"

"No, I didn't think about the fact that maybe you thought I was just experimenting, or testing something" I go on looking anywhere but him, I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact.

"I should've realized your feelings, I hadn't really thought much of them" he stated

"You shouldn't be saying sorry Grimm, I just expected you to know and then I got upset when I didn't really have a right to.." I was cut off when two hands were placed on my face to get me to look at him and lips were placed on my forehead.

Grimm looked at me, his eyes focused on my own. "Don't be sorry, okay? Don't ever be sorry"
