{Muse or Spouse? He doesn't care.}

Some would call you 'His spouse'. To be fair, you both act that way. Walking each other to class, occasional kisses but never in public, walking side by side. Always. Never apart. The speculation of others is a fair one. Somehow the two of you never much minded what other people thought.

Bianca was the one to shatter his world. Let's just say, you were the one to bring it back to life. After his failed attempts at Wednesday Addams, Xavier focused his eyes on a more obtainable prize. Bianca was too untrustworthy, Wednesday was too sure of herself. Reviewing the footage of his past relationships allowed him to see his error. Perhaps the people he finds himself immediately attracted to aren't the best for his future wedding ring.

Love with you took time. It was slow, uncertain, stressful, but it all worked out for the better. He has a muse to paint, to dream of. Someone who he can be in charge of this time around. For once he wants to be the Dominant one, even just a little.

The two of you are together. Not holding hands, but walking with each other through Nevermore. It's the end of the day where everyone is off to their own devices. All else wants to do is kiss in his shed. Perhaps he'd get you sitting still long enough to paint a good portrait. As if he hadn't made a dozen already.

"Cancel your plans."

Xavier murmurs under his breath. Not even giving you a chance to go meet up with friends. It's his time, after all.
