Michelle loved feeling Xavier so close to her and when he ran his fingers through her fur butterflies assaulted her tummy and she would have blushed if her cheeks weren't all black. He comforted her, saying that she didn't need to worry and she would try not to worry, but it wasn't just that easy. When he said they were twice as strong as she was Michelle considered this and it made her feel much better about the entire situation. Strangely she couldn't stop her mind from replaying his words over and over in her head. He'd said he loved her and her own heart had gone wild when he had admitted it. She was about to bring up the subject when Xavier mentioned that she should probably phase back and she nodded her agreement. He stood up and leaned against a tree, smiling softly, a rare sight with him and she tilted her head and spun around, running towards where she had left her clothes, well his clothes actually...
When she came back her blonde hair was a little ruffled but it only made her look prettier. She wasn't wearing any make up, but then again she didn't need it. She looked exceptionally pretty but not overly so. She looked like mother nature's child and she smiled at Xavier, taking his hand and leading him deeper into the woods. They finally got to a clearing, a meadow,
"So tell me, did you really mean what you said to Red?"

Xavier's eye was closed, but his hearing wasn't. He heard her take off, and heard her return. He opened his eye to feel her take his hand and lead him into the woods, until they came to a meadow. He wasn't quite sure on what was going on, but his attention snapped back to Michelle when she asked about what he said earlier to Red. Instantly, his heart pounded, and he felt shocks of electricity going up his arm from her touch. Deep down, he wanted to disregard what he had told Red. Make it disappear and never let it appear again. But, he couldn't..or wouldn't.
Moving closer to Michelle slightly, he reached up and put a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. "Sometimes, I lie about things. Things that I don't mean, but then there are times that the truth comes out at unexpected times." he said, his fingers grazing over her cheek as his grayish-blue eye looked at her green ones. "But what I told Red, was the truth. I don't plan on letting her hurt you, Michelle. I won't let her take someone I love away from me again." |

Xavier looked a little confused to be following Michelle into the woods but when they stopped in the meadow and Michelle was standing in front of him, Xavier reached up and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Michelle was a little taken aback by the tender gesture but she loved it and her eyes closed for a short moment when he did it. He then said that sometimes he lied about certain things and her heart froze. Had he lied about it? He then continued, saying that sometimes the truth comes out unexpectedly and she looked back up at him, vulnerable in this moment. Hi fingers softly grazed her cheek...
He finally broke the tension that had built in her, telling her that he had told the truth Red, that he doesn't plan on letting Red hurt her and that he was not going to lose someone he loved again. She softly touched his cheek, a rare display of affection and said,
"Xavier, I have no idea what my heart intends to do with me, but when I'm around you I can't think straight and you make me happier than I've been in a long while..."

He heard her words and felt her touch. His heart pounded and his breathing stopped practically. Was he just imagining things or was she really saying that he made her happy. Reaching to the hand that was near his face, Xavier gave her a smile, that for once, actually showed something behind it. It had been so long since he had even felt anything like happiness. Since Amber's death, Xavier had literally cut off all of his emotions but now... Now, standing here with Michelle was something different. It was like she brought out the old Xavier, the one that was sweet. The one that actually cared for someone other than himself and the hunts he did.
Slowly, Xavier put his hand on her cheek and moved closer to her, "I'm glad that I do that Michelle." he whispered before connecting their lips together. For his image, you would think he'd kiss rough but no. His kisses were soft, with the tension of rough right out side of it. He knew how to control himself when need be. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her waist, wishing for her to be closer to him. But then, he slowly and slightly pulled away, kissing her forehead softly.

Being this close to Xavier made Michelle feel high, almost as if she was on ecstasy and she looked down, not wanting him to see what he did to her. When she looked up Xavier was smiling, a true smile, something she hadn't seen from him since she met him and it ignited a smile on her own lips. She blinked a few times rapidly as her emerald eyes caught his gaze. There was no end to the surprises this guy had! This was very unlike him and he was so gentle when it came to her. It hadn't been like that in the beginning and she smiled at the thought.
He then tenderly placed a hand on her cheek and her heart accelerated to the speed of a hummingbird's wings. Her breathing caught in her lungs and he came closer to her. She responded by moving a little closer as well and he whispered he was glad that he could do that to her. Time seemed to freeze as their lips connected and at first Michelle froze, electricity surging through her body. Her eyes closed and she reached up to tenderly touch his cheek, her other hand moving to the back of his neck. She was yet again pleasantly surprised at the tenderness he kissed her with. His hands went around her waist and she willingly went closer to him until nothing was keeping them apart anymore. It was the perfect kiss...
His lips moved to her forehead and Michelle put both her hands on his chest and snuggled into him, laying her ear on his chest to listen to his heart. The moment was just too perfect for words...

Feeling her move closer to him just before he kissed her, made his heart pound drastically. And, for once, he felt happy that she didn't push him away when he kissed her. Even though Xavier had noticed that she had frozen but then her hand went to his cheek and another to the back of his neck, and he smiled softly. Holding Michelle, just felt right. It felt like a never ending happiness and Xavier wanted that again. It was something that he hadn't wanted for many years that now, knowing Michelle, was making him rethink his way of living. "Michelle, I have to be honest, which is rare for me." he said, looking down at her.
"I haven't felt like this since I lost Ambere to Red. It's why I can't let her kill you, you remind me of Amber and honestly, I like the reminder." he said, smiling at her, Xavier brought her back to him and hugged her. "I really do love you Michelle, and that won't change. Even when you're a werewolf, it won't change." he whispered, softly kissing here again. Wow, things had definitely changed for Xavier. And strangely enough he was enjoying it.

Michelle could literally feel Xavier’s heart beating when she came close enough to him. It made her happy to know that she had the same effect on him that he had on her. She played with the longer strands of hair in his neck while he kissed her, her body warming up from tenderness. When her ear was resting on his chest and his heartbeat softly soothing her mind, Xavier spoke, saying he had to be honest, which was a rare thing for him and Michelle looked up into his intense gaze, keeping her hands gently on his chest. Michelle's emerald eyes portrayed her vulnerability and when he started to speak about Amber she looked down to where her hands were. He told her that she reminded him of her and that's why he wasn't going to allow Red to kill her.
Michelle frowned at his chest. Was that all she was to him? A reminder of a girl he used to know? He pulled her closer and her confusion only intensified, but when he whispered that he really loved her the tension released from her heart and she hugged him back. It was even more special to hear him say it wouldn't change even if she was a werewolf. His lips found hers again and Michelle kissed him back without hesitation this time. She was never really good with words but her kiss spoke more than a thousand words ever could. She slowly pulled away from him and tenderly took his cheek in her hand,
"I have been avoiding this long enough and I really appreciate that you have been looking after me and caring for me. I couldn't have asked for anyone better, but I don't want to impose either. I guess I can't stay with you forever..."

When she pulled away, something snaked into his mind. Why was she moving away? His gaze betrayed what he was thinking and when she put her hand onto his cheek, he put his hand over hers. What did she mean? Why was she saying that she couldn't stay with him forever? He didn't want her to leave, and his mind was racing to keep up. "Michelle... What do you mean?" The words escaped his lips before he could even rethink the question.
She said that she didn't want to impose, and instantly he shook his head. How could she be imposing? "Why would you be imposing? If anything, your not." he said, untangling himself from her. Xavier moved away and looked away himself. He turned so that she was seeing his patch and not the hurt in his eye. Xavier, honestly, didn't know what to do at the moment. But if she was needing space then that was what she would get. |

Everything seemed to slow down, even time itself and Michelle gently gazed up at Xavier, vulnerability in her eyes. She was out on a ledge here. She wasn't used to being this close to people. Lancelot had been an exception. Her emotions had always been a thing she shared with no one but now here she was with Xavier, no choice but to show him how she felt. His hand ghosted over hers and an electric shock traveled down her arm, reaching all the way to her heart. Xavier almost looked hurt by her words, which is the opposite of what she had meant with them. He shook his head and said she was everything but imposing.
Secretly she had been hoping he would say it and she was just about to smile when he pulled away from her. Her hand reached out to him but slowly fell to her side. He wouldn't even look at her and the gesture cut into her heart like a knife. She reprimanded herself for having gotten so close to him to allow it to hurt this much. She frowned and looked down, trying real hard to oppress the hurt, trying to convince herself it was just a misunderstanding. She gave a small step closer and softly touched his arm,
"Xavier..."
She honestly didn't know what to say and so she came round to stand right in front of him again,
"Do you... do you want me to stay?"

He heard her come towards him, and even felt her touch and the electric shock it gave him. But Xavier didn't want to turn to her. He didn't want her to see that what she said, had hurt him. He was punishing himself for getting to close to Michelle, for allowing to her come into his heart and earn his respect. He wanted to turn away but then Michelle was standing in front of him and honestly, Xavier couldn't move. No, he could move, but he had chosen not to. It was something that he hadn't done in more than a decade.
Sighing, Xavier reached his hand towards hers, and took it into his grasp. "I wouldn't have saved you from Red, if I didn't." He finally looked up at Michelle, and slowly, a small smile formed on his lips, but it was more like a smirk than a smile. Slowly, he kissed her forehead, and even though he wanted to reach towards her and pull her in. He didn't. "Even though she is my mentor, or was my mentor. She won't stand up against me." |

Michelle could feel Xavier was pushing her away a little and she knew exactly why as well. She knew why because she was very much like him, she knew pain intimately and she knew rejection just as well. Xavier hadn't opened up completely towards Michelle yet but one thing was for sure, she saw a LOT of herself in him. She also knew that right now he was hurting but too stubborn to show it and she knew she had to get through to him. Michelle smiled sweetly, allowing the barriers that usually protected her eyes to fall down. If he wanted he could gaze straight into her soul right now... it was a BIG risk Michelle was taking but she trusted him enough to not break her. He took her hand and she tenderly held it close to her, tightly enough to show him she didn't want to let go of him.
He then told her he wouldn't have saved her from Red if he didn't want it. She laughed happily and hugged him, jumping up and grabbing him around the neck,
"God, your stubborn, Xav!"
Her voice was pointedly playful and even Xavier had to smile. She kissed him gently on the cheek, her happiness evident in her sudden surge of energy. He gently kissed her forehead in return and her emerald eyes glittered up at him. He then said she won't stand up against him and Michelle smiled cockily at him,
"Of course she won't! have you seen yourself? You are really strong and..."
Michelle blushed here, her hands still behind his neck in an embrace and she laid her ear on his chest,
"And you are really handsome..."

When she jumped up to hug him, his arms instantly went around her waist to hold her as her arms went around his neck. He gave her a cocky smile when Michelle said he was stubborn and gave him a nickname. Surprisingly, Xavier liked the nickname that she had given him and he held her tighter. "I'm stubborn when it comes to keeping something.. Or someone I love." he said, bringing her hand up to his lips and kissed her hand softly. It was something rare for him.
When she said he was handsome, he blushed. He was more than thankful that she couldn't see it. "Thank you, Michelle. You're beautiful. No doubt about it." |

Xavier was holding Michelle around her waist and she loved having him so close to her. She hoped he understood how she felt now. it was funny; she didn't feel self conscious around him at all. Usually she would be fretting about her appearance and all those unimportant things, but here with him none of that mattered and she now wondered if Xavier thought she was pretty, truly? He's said she was beautiful before but she wondered if he really meant it. Xavier then said he was stubborn when it came to something... or someone he wanted to keep and that he loved. She smiled sweetly at this comment, gently twirling his hair around her fingers. She absolutely loved his long hair, it was something one didn't see every day and Michelle was just absolutely crazy about anything that was different, but it wasn't just different, it really fitted him. She also loved the feel of his lip piercing when she kissed him. It was probably all about that bad boy image, but nonetheless it was a total turn-on for her.
He yet again surprised her, bringing his hand up and tenderly kissing her hand. She blushed at the gesture, her smile widening to just the right extent. The light caught her face just perfectly, creating a picture that happened rarely.
Michelle could feel a little bit of a reaction in Xavier when she told him he was handsome and she smiled. Her ear was still on his chest as she stood close to him. She would have liked to see his reaction to her words, but right now she wanted to be nowhere else but in his arms. He then said thank you and said she was beautiful no doubt and now it was her turn to blush into his chest but instead of hiding it she pulled back only a little to look up at him, showing him for the first time exactly what effect he had on her. her eyes were all shy and shiny and she said,
"Wanna go for a walk or something? I don't really feel like going back to the house."

When she moved back, Xavier saw her face and brushed his thumb across her red cheek. She really was beautiful, even prettier than Amber had been to him and for that. He was grateful. When the light hit her just right, he felt his breath being taken away from him, but slowly, Xavier got control of his breathing and was able to breathe normally. Slowly, he moved away and took her hand, "Of course, m'lady. I would love to go on a walk with you." he said, giving her a bow.
When he straightened up, his smile had turned into a smirk. He saw what effect he had on her, and for once, Xavier let his own emotions escape and show on his face. It was something he hardly did. Something Xavier hardly let anyone see on his face, but Michelle. She was special to him and deserved to see it. Taking her hand, Xavier led Michelle into the trees and towards a river he knew would be within the forest. Within the trees that he had hunted within for so many years. |

Michelle breathed deeply and tried to calm her nerves. Xavier really made her head spin but she knew she had to tell him the truth at some point. Now was a good a time as any. He was such a gentleman and when he took a chivalrous bow and called her milady. She giggled quite shyly and took a short bow as well. He said he would love to walk with her and when she looked up at him he had a smirk on his face, something that made him look so much more handsome. He took her hand and led her into the trees and she followed. A few minutes into the forest she said,
"Xavier there are things I have to tell you, about me..."
