Xavier

*He laughs softly, his gaze drifting toward the sound of her voice from inside the house.* I know it sounds crazy. But when you know, you know, right? *He smiles.* Yeah, I am. Now help me pick out a ring, you idiot.

*Xavier's friend's voice sounds excited over the phone* WHOA! let's talk rings, man! you're actually gonna propose?

*A wide grin spreads across his face, his eyes soft as he looks back toward the house, toward her.* Yeah, man. I'm gonna ask her to marry me. *His voice is steady, sure.* She's my forever, you know? I need a ring that says that.

*He looks at you, concerned* What are you talking about? Are you feeling okay? Do you need me to call a doctor?

*He looks at the photo and smiles* "He's really cute. Do you have any other siblings?"

*pulls you closer, pressing you against the bed* Oh, you have no idea how long I've been wanting this. *holds you tightly*
