During the next Poe Cup Wednesday falls into the water and Xavier is the only one who knows she can't swim. So he is the one who plays hero and rescues her and pampers and comforts her after it.

As request by CandraJade on ao3!

Xavier loved Wednesday. He would protect her with every atom in his body, no matter the cost. Only, Wednesday didn't need protection. She never confides her weakness in anyone.

Wednesday was independent. She could do anything.

Which is why he almost laughed when she confided in him that, she, well, she couldn't swim. 

Wednesday Addams, the girl who beat an un-dead pilgrim, couldn't swim? 

And that secret, the secret only he knew, was kept stored inside his heart. 

..................

The Poe cup came fast. Teams had been selected costumes were ready. They set up the tents for boys and girls to change into. Xavier had seated himself in a stool, already fully dressed in his Jester outfit. He began working on his makeup. Slowly he traced the careful lines around his face. It took awhile, but the product was movie-worthy. 

He stepped outside, the blinding sunlight startling him. He quickly fell out of his shock when he spotted his small girlfriend in a skin tight cat suit, small ears placed on her soft black hair. Her baggy clothes hid a lot. 

He shook his head. He was not about to get horny before the Poe cup.

Time flew as everyone slowly clambered into their canoes. Xavier shot a glance at Wednesday. She was speaking to Bianca, something about being better than her. Xavier smirked. Christ, he loved his girl.

After a few minutes, the cup began. They paddled the canoe around the lake. Bianca's team shot some sort of netting stuff at Xavier's boat, causing them to get caught for a second. He heard Bianca laughing and saying something like "Idiotic wimps."

It had just caught him off guard. He watched Bianca out of the corner of his eye, making sure she didn't plant anymore unwanted tricks on their boat. 

He watched as she threw a net at Enid's boat, who struggled attempting to remove it, instead she resulted in tipping the boat, throwing each member off the boat.

Wednesday.

Wednesday can't fucking swim. 

"Guys, I'll be right back." Xavier mumbled towards his teammates.

"Xavier, you can't just leave us."

"Emergency."

He dove off the canoe, swimming fast over to Wednesday. Xavier was really speedy because, 

A. He was built like a tree, giving him power to speed through the water,

B. The anxiety of Wednesday drowning was getting to him.

He reached their area. He was strong when it came to treading. He slowly gripped under Wednesday's arm, pulling her up and on to him. 

"Hey angel, forgot you can't swim?"

She whimpered, looking thoroughly drained. 

"Come on, you look terrible, let's get you back to shore. I'll take you too my dorm and you can have some hot chocolate?"

She nodded wearily, her cat ear collapsing onto her forehead. He gently pushed them back up.

"Hey Enid, Wednesday not feeling to good. I'm gonna bring her back up."

"Shit, uhm, yeah that's fine."

He swam, Wednesday on his back. When he reached shore, she collapsed on the sand. 

"Alright let's get you up."

He quickly explained to the teachers why he was removing her from the cup. They seemed to believe him. Maybe it was the pale, shaking Wednesday in his arms. 

The walk to his dorm felt long. With every step, Wednesday seemed to weigh more. When they finally reached his dorm, he pushed the door open, walking inside and laying Wednesday down on the bed. 

She made a sound of disapproval. 

"I'm just gonna go start a bath for you, I'll be right back."

She nodded. She had inhaled so much water, wasted so much energy trying not to drown, she felt it would have been better if she had just sank to the bottom. 

He ran the water, making sure it was warm enough to heat her up, but not scalding hot. 

He walked back in and helped her peel her sticky costume off. 

He helped her get undressed, her barely helping, she was practically asleep.

"Come on baby, I'm gonna need a little help getting you up."

She slowly sat up, reaching her arms out for him to pick her up. 

He slowly carried her into the bathroom. He set her down in the tub, brushing her hair out of her face before placing a soft, lingering kiss on her forehead.

He helped her wash up, and then let her sit in the tub for a while as she regained some energy. 

When she was done, he helped her step out of he bathtub, before wrapping her in a towel and drying her hair. He walked with her back to his bed, her having regained the energy to do so. 

He helped her get changed into his shirt, and gave her some underwear she had left from her last visit. 

They rested in the bed together for a minute, before Xavier silently got up and started making hot chocolate. He handed it to her, laying back down, head propped against his headboard. She cuddled into his chest, sipping the hot chocolate as he stroked her hair. 

"You alright angel?"

"Yeah. Thanks for saving me." She snuggled closer.

"Anytime sweet girl, anytime."
