Xavier: Love and Deepspace Fan Fiction

Chapter 4

//XAVIER

I have been looking at her for so long and I never expected her to get close to me this instant. I am not obsessed with her. I just know that she is the one. I just know.

"Claire." I knocked on her door. Its been weeks since we ate together and I haven't seen her since then. Nothing about her and she's the one that is always in Linkon between her friends.

She's got three friends and a lot of acquaintances. I wonder where I will be placed on her life.

The door opened and I saw her with her hair messy and--

"Are you okay?"

"I am. Why?"

"Why do you look like that?" I asked.

"I took a vacation." She yawned.

"That's impossible. You log in everyd--" i pursed my lips.

She smirked. "There goes my stalker."

I looked the other way. "Who?"

//CLAIRE

"It's been a few weeks now. And you haven't seen me. I wondered if you'll look for me. But before that, come in." I opened my door and let him in. I noticed how laid back his style is.

A simple white hoodie and under is a plain baby blue shirt, black pants, and rubbershoes. Far different from his work fashion sense.. that is too serious for my taste.

"Have a seat," I offered him. "I only have three types of drinks in this place. Water, alcohol and coffee. Which would you prefer?"

"Coffee would be nice." He politely answered and sat.

"Coming up." I went to the kitchen and rummaged through my cupboards and my fridge for some of my ready made coffee. "Y-You drink iced coffee?" I asked, unsure.

"Yes."

"Alright."

I prepared two iced americanos and put a lot of ice on it. Well.. it's my usual breakfast after a huge hangover so I have a lot of it.

"Here.." i handed him the tumbler with the straw as I sipped mine.

"Thanks." He smiled at me and gave it a taste. I smiled as I saw him savoring the taste. "It tastes good. How do you make this?" He asked.

"Oh, i just bought a lot of it.."

"You don't eat right." He commented while roaming his eyes around my unit.

"How can you say so?"

"The way you rummaged through your cupboards.." he looked at me. "Wanna eat out?" He offered?

"Sure! Let me just.. take a bath." I gave him a glance and he just scratched his already messed up hair. He gulped.

"S-Sure."

I took a quick bath and then ran out of the bathroom almost naked. I forgot, there's someone in the living room waiting for me. I turned back to get some fresh towels and covered myself with it.

"Xavier i'll just put on some clot--" i stopped when I saw him walking around his hands in his hoodie pocket. He looked so handsome with his gentle blue eyes and his white hair.. his soft features..

"Uhh.." he looked away from me.

"I'll be quick." I took a quick step and slipped on the wooded floor. "What the fu--!" I closed my eyes and prepared myself from the pain in my ass.

"Claire!"

No pain? I opened my eyes and saw his face hovering over mine and his lips so close.. shit.

"A-Are you okay?" He asked.

Tongue-tied. Claire Mercurie is speechless?! I thought to myself.

"H-huh? Oh, yes.." my eyes darted from his eyes to his lips.

"Clai--"

I kissed him. Just a small kiss. A peck. A touch. Trying to test him if he'll kiss back..

My heartbeats are racing. His lips moved as my eyes widened, surprised.

Kill me. Kill me now! My mind is screaming at me. My insides felt twisted. Intestines? Damn.

He's taking his chances. Slowly kissing back, nipping my lower lip, licking it gently, sucking slowly.

"You.. don't know.. how long.." he gave me a kiss on my lips. Then breathed shakily. "I have.." another kiss. "Been.." a kiss. "Imagining.." a deep breath. "Kissing.." he looked directly into my eyes. "You."

I blinked. "Xav--" he kissed me again taking advantage of the moment that I opened my mouth. "Mm.." feeling his lips on mine, tasting, savoring, i gently held his hair, as i pushed his head towards mine, telling him to kiss me like how he wanted to. I can clearly feel his soft unruly hair and hear his heart beating like crazy. Or is it my heart?

"Claire.." He whispered like he's trying to stop himself from-- "Tell me to stop." His expression, pained.

"Why?" I looked at him as his eyes turn a shade darker.

"Show a bit of fear," his voice turned a bit differently. Like how his eyes turned a bit darker. "Claire-y."

My blood ran cold. Despite that, I still felt hot and bothered because of how his hand now gripped my waist.

I blinked. "X-Xavier?"

"Yes, my love." He rasped. "Tell me to stop if you're afraid."

"Why would I be afraid of you?" I did my best to keep my voice from quivering. This is not him. Its not the same soft spoken Xavier. This one is different.

He smiled at me. "I love that about you." His hands gently caressed my waist, then down to my thigh that has been exposed. "So.. brave." How he drags his words.

Shivering from his touch and not from the cold wind blown by the AC, I held his hand and smiled at him. I can't be backing out now.

"Brave huh?" I took his hand and made him feel my heart like it wanted to beat out of my chest. "See how my heart beats like crazy?"

He hummed and kissed my hands. "My brave little hunter." He cooed.

My breath stuck in my throat, he kissed me again, on my lips, teasing me but never letting me move. I fought his other hand that pins me down on the floor but I am overpowered by him. I am not weak. I fight wanderers for breakfast but his strength is--

My mind went blank when he removed the safety knot of my towel letting my body bare in front of his eyes.

"Claire." He called my name.

My phone rang. He raised and shook his head. Like..

"Answer your phone." His voice became gentle again as he helped me up. "Claire." He called my name again and I snapped out of my mind.

"H-Huh?"

He sighed, took my phone and gave it to me. "Someone is calling you."

I looked at him and-- "you.. that was you, right?"

"Me?" He gave me a questioning look. "What do you mean?"

"That dark, cold man.."

"Answer the call. It must be your friend." He said then sat on the couch.

"Don't turn your back on me, hunter." I fixed my towel and walked towards him.

"I wasn't. It shouldn't happen. I am sorry."

"What in the actual fu--" i pulled his sleeves.

"It's Keisari." He said as he eyes my phone.

I almost dropped my phone then answered the call. "K-Kei." "Yes, im going to work." "Huh? Yeah. Im fine." I nodded. "See you."

"I will change to my uniform, you should too. We'll eat before going to the association." He slowly walked to my door, before going out, he looked at me. "And dont think too much about.. it." He went out.
