Just like your dad ~

Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x Fem!Addams!reader

Warnings: fluff, swearing, you're goth

~

ever since you and your sister, wednesday, had arrived at nevermore, there has been very different experiences.

while wednesday tended to be emotionless, full of hatred, yet somehow caring deep under her dead stare. you were passionate, expressed yourself, and family oriented.

seeing the way your father cherished and treated your mother has had a huge impact on you ever since you were little.

he would always go out of his way for your mother. he would kill for her, he would die for her, and he would live for her.

and you wanted to experience that same kind of love.

you kept an open mind at nevermore. after all, they did have a ton of students and a fencing program that you immediately joined.

your father had taught you, wednesday, and pugsley the fine arts of torture and pain from a very young age.

it was something you all had taken a liking too, but for you it drove deeper then just pain. it was more what pain could do on a psychological level, how it can mentally mess someone up for good.

and despite wednesday and her stone-cold self that she inherited from your mother, you had also taken on your father's dramatic personality.

that's why you easily made friends at nevermore. people liked being around you, especially xavier thorpe.

it wasn't a lie to anyone that he found you enticing. you were gorgeous, unafraid, and most of all... different.

different in a sense that while others tended to shy away, you would stick up despite the judgement you could face. different in a way that drove xavier insane, and he needed to be around you constantly or else he felt like a part of him was missing.

"what are you up to, y/n?" xavier raised his eyebrows in confusion as you sat on a nearby bench that overlooked the quad of nevermore.

you peered up at him, showing him your sketch. you had drawn everyone in the quad with an explosion in the middle.

"what's that for?" xavier asked, sitting next to you.

"just a thought i had, staring off at the crowd. isn't explosions fun?" you smiled at the boy.

"watch.." xavier took his hand and held it over your drawing.

you watched in anticipation as the drawing you had done began to come to life. the little explosion blew up, causing everyone to come flying backwards.

"oh my..." you trailed off. xavier smiled at your excitement.

"do you want to come see my little get away?"

➽─────────────────❥

there wasn't a silent moment on the way to xavier's art shed.

you were blurting out ideas you had, and xavier just listened. he loved hearing you talk about things you were passionate about.

"when i was little, my father taught us all the importance of family. he was devastated when my uncle fester disappeared, but my mom was there to help him through it."

"seeing love in a beautifully sickening way, it made me crave it. i want to be pursued like that."

xavier stared at you. he felt his stomach ache as the two of you made it to his art shed.

"y/n-"

"what's this?" you accidentally interrupted him.

xavier, now embarrassed, began to unlock his shed.

"you're not going to kill me, right?" you looked at the boy.

"what? no-"

"shame."

xavier stared at you in shock as you entered his little getaway. you looked around the small shed, artwork depicted everywhere.

"is this where you draw?"

"draw, paint, think. basically."

xavier nervously watched as you inspected each painting carefully.

"what's this?"

you pointed to a sketch that was you.

"that's uh- nothing." xavier quickly shut the sketch book. his tall frame was now extremely close to you.

"do you draw me, xavier?" you stared up at him through your lashes.

it was a new feeling inside of you, and you couldn't tell what. but the way he had portrayed you in such a beautiful way, it made your heart... flutter?

you could see the embarrassment on his face. his cheeks tinted red and he avoided your gaze.

you suddenly were aware of the cologne he was wearing. the scent filled your nostrils as his big hand covered the sketch.

"you don't need to be embarrassed. i'm quite a piece of art, huh?" you couldn't help but tease him.

xavier smiled at you.

"look."

you opened your own notebook and showed him the sketches you've drawn. not as well as xavier's, but the creativity behind each one was evident.

there was a reoccurring theme of pain and torture behind each one that should've frightened xavier, but it only made him more insightful.

"is your mom and dad into all this stuff?"

you peered up at xavier.

"my father showed us all from a young age the beauty of pain and torture. i tend to focus on the physiological level rather then physical, unlike my sister."

"you really are just like your dad, huh?" xavier started to tease you now.

"you could say that. i definitely take after him more than my mother."

"can i help you with your sketch work?"

you hesitantly nodded. xavier grabbed his stool and sat down, you standing very close to him.

his knee would bump into your leg every time he moved. the motion was enough to send shocks into both your bodies.

xavier flipped through your notebook.

"the overall creativity is amazing. it really allows me to see what goes on inside your head, which is what art is supposed to represent. but the line-work could use some help."

you watched him carefully, not noticing the way your eyes stared at his veiny hands.

with the flip of another page, xavier landed on the drawing you had completely forgotten about.

it was you, at the weathervane, smiling wide as you sat across from a boy who looked identical to xavier. to make matters even worse, there were little hearts above the two of you.

now it was your turn to be embarrassed as xavier looked up at you, a giant smirk on his face.

"thing must have drawn that-"

"oh yeah? because the way the lines connect is just like the other drawings."

"i don't know what you're talking about."

"how about you let me take you out to the weathervane?"

"like a-"

"date. a date."

you stared directly into xavier's blue eyes. his gaze was intimidating and you would be lying if you said you weren't a little scared.

"fine."
