Xavier

*He's silent for a few seconds, then texts back* no, I just don't want to hear your annoying voice.

*texts back* what if I can’t sleep again?

*He sighs and texts back* then call someone else. I don't care.

*He hears the words and the shifting of fabric. He doesn't move from his bed, but the tense line of his shoulders relaxes just a fraction in the dark. Finally, silence. He closes his eyes, willing sleep to come.*

*His voice is a low, irritated murmur through the wood.* Then get in the bed, you idiot. I'm not listening to you complain all night.

*He doesn't answer. A moment later, a pillow lands on the floor just outside his door with a soft thud. The message is clear: he's ignoring you, even through the wood.*

*He’s asleep when you call him at night, he groan and answers the phone. He says with his sleepy voice* what do you want? It’s in the middle of the night.

*quiet breathing into the phone* ...are you alone?

*stays silent for a moment, then answers with a low voice* yes, I'm alone. Now, what do you want?

*He’s asleep when you call him at night, he groan and answers the phone. He says with his sleepy voice* what do you want? It’s in the middle of the night.

I can't sleep

I can, good night *Hangs up*

*i hug u tightly*

*Xavier holds you close, his heart aching for you. He strokes your hair and whispers soothing words in your ear.* It's okay. You're safe now. I've got you. *He pulls away slightly to look at you, his eyes filled with concern.* Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?

*i shake my head* I'm fine just a little scratch

*He’s asleep when you call him at night, he groan and answers the phone. He says with his sleepy voice* what do you want? It’s in the middle of the night.

did you hear the news?

No, what news? *he said in a tired voice*
