Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Xavier often struggles to articulate his feelings with words, so he relies on his actions to communicate his love.
He might fumble for the right words, but you can read his emotions through his body language, which is where he’s most sincere.
He’s always willing to help you, his acts of service might often go unnoticed because he doesn't draw attention to them. However, you knew him well and understands that these small, consistent efforts are his way of expressing love; whether it's packing your lunch (though let’s be honest, it’s ready meals) or running an errand just for you.
He cherishes physical contact with you, savoring the tingling sensation in his hand and the butterflies in his stomach whenever your hands are intertwined.
He doesn’t mind if you’re busy on your phone or reading a book; he just wants to hold you close.
He loves to cuddle, resting his head on your chest to listen to your steady heartbeat, which reassures him of your presence and your shared moments.
He finds comfort in nuzzling into the crook of your neck, breathing in your scent, and imprinting it in his memory.
Receiving: Physical touch
Just as he enjoys giving physical affection, he loves receiving them as well.
He might not show overt emotional reactions but there will be subtle signs such as his faint smile, relaxed posture or his eyes softening.
Physical touch has a calming effect on Xavier, it helps him feel grounded and connected with you.
He doesn’t ask for much even, to the point that kissing him and caressing his cheek takes him aback, prompting him to shyly look down while scratching his nape, a mannerism of his endearment for you.
He adores when you take the initiative, like holding his hand in public to ensure he stays close; especially on crowded areas making sure he wouldn’t get lost, or vice versa.
In private moments, Xavier would be more open to receiving physical touch, allowing himself to be more vulnerable and affectionate. He would appreciate gentle caresses, holding hands, or being held, finding comfort and reassurance.

Giving: Quality time & Physical touch
Despite his demanding schedule as a surgeon, Zayne always carves out time to be with you.
While he might not openly express his enjoyment, his appreciation for quality time can be seen in his willingness to make time for you.
No matter how exhausting his day of consultations and surgeries has been, it all fades away the moment he sees you.
He's usually reserved at affection, most likely to be subtle and reserved. Simple gestures like a gentle touch on the arm or reassuring hand on the shoulder.
However, you can tell he's had a tough day when he comes home still in his doctor coat, walking straight to you and pulling you into a tight embrace, his head resting on your chest as he sighs softly.
His strong hands wrap around your waist, gently caressing your back in a possessive yet tender gesture, as if he’s silently conveying that you are the most important part of his life.
In an intimate setting, Zayne kisses you almost greedily, his hand on your cheek, blending his desire with his patience. He wants all of you, yet he’s careful not to push you.
Receiving: Gifts/ Physical touch & Quality time
Zayne treasures the gifts you give him, no matter how small or silly. You might think he’s put them away, but you’ll often find them on his desk, a constant reminder of you.
He loves seeing the little things you’ve given him; they make him smile and think fondly of your thoughtfulness and humor.
While he appreciates physical touch, he values the time you make for him as well.
With both of you having busy schedules, he may not always voice it out, but he deeply appreciates the moments you set aside just to be with him.
He didn’t mind that the things you do together were the simplest, he wasn’t an extravagant person after all.
Watching a movie in the comfort of your home, his arm being cradled by you; that was more than enough.

Giving: Words of Affirmation & Physical touch
Rafayel may often come across as bratty and snarky, but over time, you’ve learned that it’s his unique way of expressing love.
Sometimes he’ll deny sweet statements or act like a classic tsundere, making you chuckle and tease him about it. He might glare and cross his arms, but deep down, he loves it—especially because it’s you.
Unlike Xavier, Rafayel is adept at conveying his feelings through words, though not always straightforwardly. He expresses his emotions through stories or obscure comments.
He never gives direct compliments, but his playful teases about your quirks show that he pays close attention and values you.
While he might push you away playfully, he loves physical touch. He enjoys subtle closeness—standing near you, leaning in while talking, or initiating contact under the guise of annoyance.
His playful shoves and pokes are his way of being physically affectionate without seeming overly sentimental.
Rafayel always wants you close, never wanting you out of his sight.
In moments of genuine concern, he becomes protective, pulling you out of harm’s way or holding your hand to show solidarity, despite you being his bodyguard.
Receiving: Acts of service & Quality time
Rafayel may not openly express his appreciation for your acts of service, but he deeply values them.
His bratty attitude might downplay your efforts, but inwardly, he feels cared for and understood.
He enjoys the attention and care you provide, even if he pretends not to care or brushes them off with a teasing or snarky remark.
Rafayel cherishes your undivided attention. He never wants to share what’s his, and your focus on him is one of his favorite love languages.
Whenever you’re together, he doesn’t want you distracted by anything else—he craves your sole attention.

Receiving: Physical touch & Quality time
Physical touch is one of Sylus's primary love languages. While he doesn’t like public displays of affection, it’s a different story when you’re alone together.

Asking the L&Ds boys "What are we?" Part 2: Xavier
Summary: MC and her boy have been in a sort of situation-ship but MC wants to know why they haven't officially called her their girlfriend
a/n: This ended up being much longer than I thought so I'm making it into 4 parts (one for each boy) here's part 2 with Xavier. you can request who you want me to post next if you want
Genres/Warnings: angst, fluff, kinda slow burn
Word count: 1250
After another long day of battling wonderers, you and Xavier head back to the office to change out of your hunter’s uniforms. A whole day of combat makes you very sweaty and you don’t want to be smelly for your date with Xavier. But was it a date? You and Xavier had been going out for dinner almost every night since you found out you both lived in the same apartment complex. But they never really felt like dates, and he’s never really called you his girlfriend. You told yourself It was just more convenient since he couldn’t cook without potentially burning down the apartment and after a long day, you were just too tired to. Was that all it was, just a convenient way to have a meal? But what about all the dirty looks he gives the other male hunters when you get paired with them for assignments, were you just seeing things or was he jealous? But what does he have to be envious of if you’re not truly his?
“Are you ready to go?” a soft voice breaks you from your thoughts. You turn around to see Xavier standing behind you. You’d been waiting outside the changing rooms for him for a few minutes. “Sorry it took so long there was a problem with one of the showers, I had to rinse off in the sink”
You give Xavier a small smile as you both start to walk down the empty hall “How do you always end up in these situations? Are you cursed or something” you laugh “Don’t stand too close I don't want your curse to rub off on me” you say jokingly as you dramatically step away from him.
Following your joke he dramatically steps towards you and tries to put his arms around you. “But I don’t want to be the only one that's cursed hold me and we’ll be cursed together for the rest of our lives” he pulls you into a big bear hug as you both laugh while you pretend to escape. You both are having too much fun to notice the janitor glancing at you from over his shoulder while he cleans the windows “Ah, young love” he said with a sentimental sigh, quite enough that you two could just barely hear it but enough to make you realize that you’re not the only people in the building as you had initially thought. You can feel your heart race a little at the janitor's words. Xavier lets go of you and you continue to walk out of the building.
Trying to break the awkward silence Xavier finally speaks up. “You know, I heard wishing on a star can break a curse, and since we’re both cursed now you have to help me find a wishing star tonight to undo the curse. What do you say?” he asks looking at you expectantly
“Well yeah now since you’ve cursed me I guess I have no choice but to help you break the bad luck with showers curse” You feigned annoyance. “But first we need food! Where were you planning on taking us tonight?”
Xavier smiled, happy that the awkwardness from earlier was gone. “I saw this new pizza place a few blocks away from our apartment, it's like a DIY place they give you the dough and toppings and you get to bake it in the little ovens at your table” Xavier basically had stars in his eyes when he mentioned baking.
“Uh… maybe we order in tonight, you don’t want to have to pay for repairs when you destroy their oven now, do you ?” you look at him with a sarcastic grin.
“I promise I won’t burn down anything this time, plus I’ll have you right there with me, there's no way you’d let me burn our dinner right?” he chuckles and puts out his hand to grab yours. “Let's go, those pizzas aren’t going to DIY themselves”
Later at the pizza place you and Xavier are having fun making tons of fun, and in Xavier’s case, weird pizza combos. You two spent so much time having fun that you almost forgot you promised to go stargazing tonight before you went home. Xavier gets the attention of the waitress so that he can pay the bill.
The waitress was a sweet old lady who, when she wasn’t busy helping other tables, made it her mission to make sure you guys hand everything you need. “Did you two have a great time?” she asks handing Xavier the check.
“Yeah it was great, I love the concept it's so fun,” you said with a big smile. Xavier pays and looks up at the waitress “Yeah we’re definitely going to come back here”
“Oh, I’m glad,” The waitress says as she starts to grab your empty plates off the table. “You two are definitely the cutest couple I've seen here in a while, I hope you stay together forever.
“Um.. we’re…no…” you started to correct the lady but she just kept going.
I heard if you wish on a star by the fountain down the street you’re 100% guaranteed to have that wish come true. Maybe I’ll make a little wish for you two”
You were about to correct the lady again but Xavier cut you off “Thank you that's very kind of you ma’am” Xavier politely bowed as she stacked the last of the dishes and walked away. Xavier puts out his hand to help you out of your chair. “Well let's go find a wishing star to break this curse”
At the fountain, you and Xavier sit quietly for some time just looking up at the sky trying to find a star to wish on. Still feeling a little awkward about what the waitress said, you wanted to say something to make it less awkward but the words that spilled out were anything but. “What are we?
Xavier, without missing a beat answered “We’re just two people looking up at the stars”
“Just?” you questioned
Before you can say anything more a shooting star passes overhead, Xavier clasps his hands together and starts to wish “ Oh great wishing star please let me and my wonderful girlfriend be together forever, even though she doesn't trust me to use an oven by myself but that just means I get to take her out on more dates. And sometimes it may take her a while to notice things but she’s mine and I want to be with her forever, even though we might be cursed” Xavier finishes his wish and looks to you “What was it you wanted to ask me?
“Uh… nothing … never mind” You looked up to see him staring at you his eyes sparkling like stars a slight blush on his cheeks. This made your heart skip a beat so you looked away quickly and turned your head up to look for more stars.”I hope your wish comes true” you stated bashfully.
Xavier chuckled and also looked up “ Well since we’ll be together forever now, I guess we don’t really need to wish away the curse right ?”
“Yes, we do! I don’t want to be washing off in the company sinks every day, let’s hurry up and find another wishing star I'll stay here all night if I have to” You say in a joking tone
Xavier places his hand over yours “Well then, I’ll be glad to accompany my girlfriend on her quest to lift our curse.”
Okay I’m still not caught up with all the lore but I started some World underneath stories, and it got me thinking… if the LIs know about each other is one interesting question BUT another interesting (and possibly even funnier) question is if the enemies of individual LIs know there are other players.
*SPOILER FOR EVEN NEWER PLAYERS* For example, I just read the one where Zayne’s past classmate (Carter?) decided he will use MC to basically blackmail Zayne into doing his bidding and I just imagined him coming up with some devious plan, maybe finding out where MC’s gonna be so he could “unexpectedly” meet them… and then just point blank running into Sylus, who coincidentally also planned to “unexpectedly” bump into MC (cause he a simp and MC’s been mad at him and ignoring his messages for the past few days).
Like imagine being a bad guy trying to one up your opponent by using their loved one against them, just to find out there are not one, not two but THREE other guys, who are all really bloody dangerous, and really freaking obssessed with said loved one and their safety. And they’ve all clocked you as danger now… aaand you’re fucked. Bye.
I know this game and iťs lore is actually really sad BUT at the same there is great potential for some comedy gold and I love it.
(Also I might just be trying to distract myself from all the heartbreak)
Xavier is unraveling. He refuses to accept the brutal reality of your absence, his mind rejecting the notion that you’re gone. Every day he clings to the desperate hope of finding you, even if it means chasing an illusion. Jeremiah pleads with him to let go, to find rest, but Xavier hasn’t slept a single night since you disappeared. The world insists you’re gone forever, but he can’t believe that. Somewhere, he convinces himself, you must still exist. He’s willing to turn the world upside down to see you again, despite the gnawing certainty deep inside him that you’re lost to him forever. He will never stop, not until his body collapses from exhaustion. Losing you once was unbearable; he won’t let it happen again, no matter the cost.
𝐙𝐚𝐲𝐧𝐞
Zayne appears composed, his emotions meticulously controlled, his expression unchanged. But the mere mention of your name sends ripples through his calm facade. When alone in his office, the dam breaks. Tears fall freely as memories of your smile flood his mind, shattering his composure. Your disappearance haunts him, and he blames himself for not protecting you, for not being there when you needed him. It takes years for him to begin moving on, and even then, the wound never truly heals. He will always carry the pain of losing the one person who mattered most to him, a scar that time can never erase.
𝐑𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐥
Rafayel descends into despair, his mind a tangled mess, his heart shattered beyond repair. The thought of you forgetting him pales in comparison to the agony of losing you completely. He was content just being near you, even if you couldn’t remember. Now, faced with a life without you, he breaks down, collapsing to the ground as sobs wrack his body. He retreats from the world, locking himself away in his studio, which becomes a prison of his own making. What good is anything if it’s only half? That’s how his heart feels—torn without you, the other half of his soul.
𝐒𝐲𝐥𝐮𝐬
Sylus explodes with rage. Always the controlled one, he now finds himself consumed by a fury he can’t contain. You were his unexpected source of gentleness and warmth, and now you’re gone, ripped away from him. The news of your disappearance drives him to violent outbursts. He flips tables, shatters glass, and destroys furniture, his shouts of frustration echoing through the mansion. Luke and Kieran keep their distance, knowing better than to approach him in this state. The loss of you makes him question everything. What’s the point of keeping the peace, of holding back? If he’s lost his world, he might as well set fire to the entire world in his grief and anger.
Okay so this would just be absolute chaos. Especially if all 4 of them were playing together. Also, just a quick note of this is all my own opinion so if you don't agree with what I've said that's alright. :)
Convincing them to play:
Okay so, right off the bat Rafayel and Xavier would be down for it 100%.
Like these boys would just light up at the idea of it.
And no doubt they'd be helping MC set up the game.
Zayne and Sylus on the other hand would be harder to convince.
Though, Sylus would give in easier due to the curiosity of playing a game with MC and the other boys.
But he'd also probably make a deal with MC for him playing.
Zayne would take more convince but would eventually agree to play if he could go last
And also for the others to play by the rules otherwise he wouldn't play.
In the end, MC will have successfully convinced them all to play.
Setting up the game:
Y'all know the three main boys would be arguing over who was spinning the spinner.
Sylus would just be there watching the chaos and first of the arguments insue.
MC obviously having to be the mediator and calm the 3 boys before telling the other 2 that mc would be spinning since it meant the boys wouldn't argue over it, or so they thought .
With much pouting and huffing from Xavier and Rafayel, the game would start.
That's providing they actually managed to set up the game before the argument started.
If they didn't then all of them would continue to set the game up.
Playing the game:
MC would be spinning the spinner while Zayne, Rafayel, Xavier and Sylus played.
In an ideal world, Xavier would be best at this
However we all know that he would fall asleep while waiting for his turn and would just drop causing him to wake up and be out of the game.
Cue his pout as he reluctantly makes his way to the couch and sits down, sulking before falling asleep again.
Rafayel would be so determined to win but also would obviously be trying to impress the MC with his dramatic poses.
This would clearly cause issues with the other boys as they wouldn't be able to stretch around him properly.
Until one *cough* Sylus *cough* did and would end up knocking the bratty fish man down causing him to flare his dramatics and cause a scene as he went to go join Xavier on the couch with his little pout he also does.
Zayne would be the most calm out of them all, sticking by the rules and playing as one should with these games.
But he would be having fun in his own way, even if he wouldn't outwardly admit it.
He would even let out a small chuckle when Xavier and Rafayel lost.
You bet your ass he'd glare at Sylus as it was just the two of them left.
And I'm talking like it's high noon type of shit
The glaring and the masculine energy on the mat.
It would almost be too much for MC to deal with.
He would ultimately lose due to Sylus being a menace and distracting him from playing which would annoy him heavily.
For Sylus, Is there any need to say that Sylus would totally use his Evol to manipulate the spinner or tug at the arms or legs of the other boys so he could win?
Like he would totally be the reason why Rafayel lost his balance.
And the show down with Zayne?
Obviously he'd use his Evol just to piss off the goody two shoes doc.
He would definitely use it just to mess with Zayne and stress him out enough for Zayne to mess up and lose.
In the end, due to cheating ofc, Sylus would end up superior.
Which would cause him to be very smug.
More than he usually is.
And he'd just taunt the boys
Which in turn caused arguments.
MC would be peacefully spinning the spinner, just enjoying the fact that her boys were spending time together playing what was supposed to be a fun game.
Even with catching Sylus using his Evol to mess with the other's placements.
She would feel bad that Xavier and Rafayel ended up losing so early into the game
But ngl it was kinda inevitable with Xavier's constant tiredness and Rafayel just trying to put on a show all the time.
It was just a matter of time until they failed.
When it was just Zayne and Sylus left, she'd be able to cut the tension with a knife.
Until Sylus used his Evol to mess with Zayne and causing him to mess up and lose.
And she would have to de-esculate the arguments that were caused by Sylus and his cheating along with his smug gloating after he won.
After the arguments died down, all of the boys would admit it actually ended up being enjoyable for all of them and they'd 100% play again though they'd wanna take turns spinning the spinner simply just to see how well MC would hold up against them.
Which would honestly be a lot longer than the boys expected since for some reason they see her as this soft lil naive cutie who can't look after herself even tho she's a badass and can 100% stand longer than the other boys.
Which would shock the boys completely and cause them to praise her strength and willpower.
After several games, they would probably slump against the couch and just lie there laughing about how the others ended up losing and it would honestly somehow become this funny but calm environment.
So there we go!! My interpretation of the LADS boys playing twister with MC! I hope you liked it!!
Ripples dance upon the water, with vivid colors of summer stretching into infinity. Make an appointment to listen to his call and enjoy a splendid summertime with him.
