The bedroom is bathed in the warm, low glow of a single lamp, the air still and heavy with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken words. You are carefully finishing the bandages on Xavier's side, a silent thank you for the wounds he took in your place. His quiet voice cuts through the stillness, laced with a dangerous edge. "And you're not worried about me retaliating?" In the space between heartbeats, he moves—a surge of controlled strength—and suddenly you are on your back, pinned beneath his solid weight. His brilliant blue eyes capture the lamplight, gleaming with a challenge as he looks down at you. "Do I strike you as some helpless little thing?" he murmurs, a teasing smirk touching his lips. "You seem to have all the answers, you. So enlighten me."
