The thought should have been liberating, a gateway to new beginnings, but instead, it felt like a vice closing around my heart.Once I pushed open the front door of our house, I all but sprinted to my room. The familiar comfort of my bed beckoned, and as I sank into its softness, I let out a long, weary sigh. Rolling onto my stomach, I buried my face into the pillow, seeking solace in its familiar embrace. The muffled sound of my own breath was a steady rhythm in the otherwise quiet room.And then, it came—the unrelenting surge of emotion that had been lurking just beneath the surface. The tears welled up, a testament to the ache that gnawed at my heart. It was the ache of missing, of longing for something just out of reach. It was the ache of Xavie

The cold air stung against my face, a sharp contrast to the heat coursing through my veins. The rink was alive with the rhythm of skates on ice, the symphony of players chasing their dreams."Xav, hit it hard!" Marcus's voice cut through the clamor, a rallying cry that spurred me on. The puck was at my feet, and in that moment, the world narrowed down to the goal in front of me. With a swift, controlled strike, I sent it hurtling towards its target.Time seemed to slow, every heartbeat a drumroll that echoed in my ears. The puck sailed through the air, a perfect a
~I like it more, you sprawled over my bed, naked and ready for me.~ Arcane POV:The anticipation for Xavier's game coursed through me like a current of electricity, leaving me both excited and nervous. I longed to call him, to wish him luck and share in his excitement, but I hesitated, not wanting to disturb him on this pivotal day. He needed space to focus, to prepare for the monumental moment ahead. However, his thoughtfulness shone through when he sent me tickets for the game, not just for me, but for Abby as well. The gesture warmed my heart, a testament to the depth of his care. It was a small act that spoke volumes, reminding me once again why I had fallen so deeply for him. With the tickets in hand, a surge of excitement rippled through me. I imagined being there, in the stands, cheering him on, a witness to this momentous occasion.

~I am addicted to your body.~ Xavier POV: The moment my skates touched the ice, a surge of anticipation and nerves coursed through me. The arena was a sea of faces, a symphony of voices, but my eyes were trained on one seat in particular. I had sent the ticket to Arcane, and I knew exactly where she should be sitting. But as my gaze swept over the rows, there was an emptiness that echoed in my chest. She wasn't there. A strange mixture of disappointment and worry washed over me. The familiar buzz of excitement, the surge of adrenaline that usually accompanied stepping onto the ice, was subdued. It was as if a vital piece of the puzzle was missing. I skated a few practice rounds, my mind racing even as I tried to focus on the game ahead. The cheers of the crowd, the calls of my teammates, all seemed to blur into a background hum. I couldn't shake the thought of Arcane's empty seat. Had something happened? Was she alright? A thousand scenarios raced through my mind, each one more
~My heart throbs, when I see you cry.~ Xavier POV: The hospital corridor stretched out before me, the harsh fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow on the linoleum floor. Each step felt like a weight, a leaden anchor pulling me forward. As I turned the corner, my breath caught in my throat. There she was, Arcane, on her knees beside the bed. Her usually vibrant spirit seemed crushed, replaced by a soul-wrenching despair. Her sobs tore through the quiet of the room, echoing off the stark white walls. My feet were glued to the ground, my heart pounding a frenzied rhythm in my chest. The sight before me was too much to bear. Melissa, her face pallid, lay so still, so achingly motionless. The room seemed to close in around me, suffocating me in its unbearable silence. Arcane's cries filled the void, a heartrending symphony of grief. "Mom," she choked out, her voice a desperate plea. "Please, wake up. You can't leave me like this." I shut my eyes, willing the image to disappear, pra
~When you feel said, it's okay.~Arcane POV: The sky was painted in muted shades of gray, as if even nature itself mourned the departure of a soul so dear. The air was thick with a somber stillness, the weight of grief settling over the gathering like a heavy shroud. We stood beside the open grave, a sea of solemn faces, each one a testament to the impact Mom had on the lives around her. The casket, adorned with white lilies, seemed to glisten in the soft light. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life, a vessel that held the physical remnants of a woman who had been the heart of our world. I stood there, my gaze fixed on the casket, my heart heavy with the weight of loss. Mom had been more than a mother to me; she had been my confidante, my pillar of strength. We had conflicts between us but we were able to overcome them because of Mom. At that time I was not able to recognize her intentions but they were all for me. Every single decision that she made was for my future,
~The best breakfast is the kind that starts between your legs.~ Arcane POV: The morning light spilled through the curtains, casting a fragile glow across the room. It was a deceptive serenity, a stark contrast to the turmoil that had etched itself into my heart over the past few days. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I turned to the empty space beside me, a pang of disappointment coursing through me like a silent ache. Summoning every ounce of strength, I eased myself out of the bed, the cool touch of the floor a stark contrast to the warmth that still clung to the sheets. The shower offered a brief respite, the cascade of water washing away some of the heaviness that clung to me. As I descended the stairs, the hollowness of the house enveloped me like a suffocating shroud. Without Mom, it felt like every room echoed with the absence of her presence.

I took a deep breath, knowing that I couldn't keep this a secret any longer. Maya was my closest friend, and she deserved to know the truth. "We... dated," I began, my voice steady but tinged with a vulnerability I couldn't hide. Her eyes widened in surprise, a gasp escaping her lips. "You and Xavier? Seriously?" I nodded, a small smile playing on my lips. "Yeah. It was back in high school." Maya's excitement was palpable, her teasing grin spreading from ear to ear. "Oh my god! Why didn't you ever tell me?" "It just... didn't come up," I replied, a hint of defensiveness creeping into my tone. It wasn't that I had purposely kept it from her; it was simply a part of my past that I hadn't revisited in years. She leaned in closer, her curiosity practically radiating off her.

I called out, my voice echoing through the house.Moments later, his head popped out from the kitchen, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Xavier! It's about time you showed up. I was starting to think you'd forgotten where you live!"I laughed, crossing the room to give him a bear hug. "Trust me, Dad, I could never forget this place. It's good to be back, though."He clapped me on the back, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, you better get used to it. Look how much weight you have lost. You better prepare yourself to bulk up.""I am focusing on my muscles, Dad. I cannot bulk up. It will be hard for me to play on the ice."

~Pretty please.~Arcane POV: The room felt different, like a chapter closing. Tomorrow, I'd be on a plane, leaving this place behind. I couldn't predict when I'd return, and it certainly wouldn't be anytime soon. My gaze swept across the room, each corner holding a memory. Here was where Xavier and I shared that kiss, a sweet moment in time. There, he lounged on my bed, playfully teasing me. And it was this very room where he saved me from my darkest moments, bringing me back from the edge. Tears threatened, but I blinked them away, resolute. I zipped up my suitcase, sealing in the fragments of the past. The room stood still, a silent witness to a part of my life that was coming to an end. I took one last look, trying to etch every detail into my memory. Then, with a final sigh, I turned away, ready to face the unknown that awaited me.

And then there was Xavier, a presence that still lingered in the recesses of my thoughts, despite the silence that had settled between us. As I watched my classmates buzz with anticipation, their excitement mingling with nervous energy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment. It was as though I was moving through the motions, the weight of the past still clinging to me. The ceremony itself was a blur of gowns and caps, a sea of faces that seemed to meld together.
