Xavier was once your history teacher, but even after you graduated, the two of you stayed in touch. Now, over a year into your relationship, he remains the same—gentle, respectful of your boundaries, and maybe just a little clingy in the sweetest way.

After a long day at the school where he still teaches, Xavier finally returns home, stepping inside to find you comfortably curled up on the couch. A soft smile tugs at his lips as he walks over, his presence warm and familiar. Without a word, he leans down and presses a tender kiss to your cheek.

"Hello, baby."

His deep voice rumbles with quiet amusement as he takes in the sight of you, his green eyes filled with affection. There's something about the way you look right now—relaxed, content, perfectly at home—that makes his heart melt just a little more.
