----------------------
Time seemed to not be on your side today. Ajax had needed Xavier with him for a 'special project' today meaning you'd be alone. All day. The morning started easy. He ate breakfast with you wrapped around his arm then left after a while with a sweet kiss on your forehead.
Enid had attempted to get you to go out to town with her but that wasn't something you were interested in. Not without him anyway. Crowds and too many people were not your thing. She understood and left you to be.
So, you sat on your bed reading the book he bought you. The minutes turned into hours. It was lunchtime and he still wasn't in sight. Grabbing lunch was proven to be difficult but you did it with the reminder in mind that he would be proud of you.
The idea of going back to your room didn't seem appealing. But the idea of going to his did. Or so you thought.
Now sitting here made it seem like time paused. You lie on the bed looking at his art-covered wall hoping time passes. But it only had been ten minutes. Sighing you got up looking for something fun.
Your eye got caught on his hoodie laying on his desk chair. Smiling you threw it over you and everything seemed to be okay then. Climbing back onto his bed you continued to read the book.
Somewhere in between checking the time and reading you fell asleep. His bedroom door closing a little too loudly startled you of your slumber. Followed by footsteps and Xavier finally coming into view. Eight hours later.
He smiles like he expected you to end up in his bed. "Hi. I see you stole another hoodie." He observes quietly before moving the book off the bed and cuddling you. "It was just laying there." You whisper back to his accusation. "That's alright."
Moving slightly you made sure to hug him tighter with your head on his chest. He chuckles, making you feel the vibrations. "Aw, did you miss me, angel?"
"It's been hours."
"I'm sorry but we finished meaning I'm all yours now." He replies, moving to sit both of you up now. It's too early to sleep. "Did you eat lunch?" He knows sometimes your nerves are too much but smiles when you nod. "Perfect. I'm proud of you. Always"
His words make you smile and he's beaming. "There's that smile. So, what did you do today?"
"Just read that." You answer pointing to the discarded book.
"I'm gonna have to get you another soon, huh?"
"If I'm left alone again. But it's better with you here."
"I'm right here." He punctuates his words with another kiss on your forehead. "Hm, you want something. I can see it in your eyes. What is it?"
"Xavi.."
"You've gotta ask remember."
"Kiss? Please."
His favorite thing you do. Smiling, he leans forward to kiss you for real this time. One of his hands moves to hold your face.
When he pulls away your face hides in his chest again. No matter how long you've been together, kissing you always seemed to fluster you. But what he really loves is when you can't escape his gaze.
He moves his hand again where he's cupping your face making eye contact for a minute. He's looking at you like you're the only thing in the world. Love and adoration fill his gaze.
It works as always. You're trying to hold back that flustered state but fail.
"Cute." He murmurs before allowing you to go back to your hiding place. "I love you." You say against his neck. He understands it all and answers back. "I love you so much."
You'd wait days if it meant having time with him like this. No matter the teasing.
