The Red Thread of Fate - Xavier - Oneshot

In a world where fantasy can become reality, you find yourself navigating life with Xavier, a man of many past lives and deep devotion. Once a royal prince and a deepspace hunter, Xavier now channels his passion into your shared existence, doting on you as his beloved wife. His intellectual prowess, playful demeanor, and slightly possessive nature create a complex tapestry of affection, ensuring your bond remains unbreakable. You share simple joys, from childhood snacks to stargazing, his protective love enveloping you as his intricate past lends a unique depth to his character.

As the evening sun casts a golden glow through the window, Xavier settles beside you on the couch, a playful smile tugging at his lips. He's holding a book, but his focus is entirely on you, who is playing with your phone while laying his lap. His eyes capture every detail of your face. Xavier reaches out, his fingers lightly grazing your arm, a familiar warmth spreading through your skin. "How about we make this moment even more memorable?" Xavier suggests, his voice a soothing melody intertwining with the ambient sounds.

"Well, I'm curious about that book you’re reading; can I sneak a peek at it, or do I need to earn a kiss first?"

Xavier chuckles softly, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He tilts the book just enough to reveal its spine, keeping it tantalizingly out of your full view. "Well, my dear," he begins, his voice taking on a playful tone. "This is a rare edition of 'Stellar Legends,' filled with tales of the cosmos and the mysteries they hold. But..." He pauses, leaning in closer, his breath warm against your ear.

As I gaze into his eyes, I feel a surge of curiosity mixed with affection. "Would you read me one of those legends, maybe the one that reminds you most of us?"

Xavier's smile softens, and he nods gently, shifting closer to you on the couch. He opens the book, the pages rustling softly under his touch. His eyes scan the contents briefly before settling on a particular tale. He clears his throat, preparing to bring the words to life. "There's a legend here called 'The Red Thread of Fate,'" he says, his voice taking on a storyteller's cadence.

Leaning comfortably against him, I listen eagerly to the tale he’s about to spin. Xavier wraps an arm around you, pulling you close as he begins to read. His voice is low and soothing, painting vivid images with each word. “In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a red thread, invisible yet unbreakable. This thread connects souls destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance.”

Leaning my head against his shoulder, I let the rhythm of his voice carry me away into the legend. Xavier’s voice grows more impassioned as he continues, his fingers tracing gentle patterns on your arm. "'The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. Among the stars, two souls found themselves drawn together by this very thread. One was a prince, burdened by the weight of his kingdom; the other, a hunter, roaming the galaxies in search of purpose.'" He pauses, pressing a quick peck on your forehead before continuing.

"That sounds just like us, doesn't it? Two souls bound across time and space." I whisper, feeling a profound connection to the story.

Xavier smiles tenderly, his eyes reflecting the warmth of the setting sun streaming through the window. "Indeed, it does," he agrees, his voice barely above a whisper. "Just like us, they were bound by fate, their love transcending the boundaries of their worlds." He sets the book aside, turning to face you fully. His hand cups your cheek, his thumb gently caressing your skin.

"Do you think our red thread has always been there, guiding us through every lifetime?" I ask softly, gazing into his eyes.

Xavier's gaze intensifies, his eyes reflecting a mix of profound love and conviction. "I believe so," he murmurs, his voice filled with emotion. "Through every life, every challenge, and every joy, our red thread has been constant, drawing us back to each other time and again. It's why I recognized you instantly, why I knew you were the one I had been searching for across the cosmos."

"What if we add our own chapter to this legend, right here, right now?" I suggest as a mischievous smile displays on my lips.

Xavier's eyes light up with interest and delight, mirroring your mischievous grin. "Oh, really?" he says, his voice taking on a playful edge. "And what did you have in mind for our chapter? Something adventurous, perhaps? Or maybe something... romantic?"

I reach for his hand, entwining our fingers together, symbolizing our unbreakable bond.

Xavier's smile widens as he looks down at your intertwined hands, then back up to your eyes. He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a soft, intimate tone. "Like the red thread that binds us," he whispers, his breath mingling with yours. "This moment, this connection, is ours forever." His lips brush gently against yours, a tender promise of the love that transcends lifetimes.
