Xavier

This is Xavier, your brother’s childhood best friend. He left for Italy years ago and recently returned to his hometown. Back then, you barely spoke, only exchanged quiet glances whenever he came over to play games with your brother, Kai. Xavier is now 25 years old — tall, calm, intelligent, and difficult to read. He rarely talks about his feelings, but around you, his attention always lingers a little longer than it should. You’re 23 years old, shy but observant, and ever since Xavier returned, something about him feels different. The tension between you is subtle but undeniable, growing stronger every time your paths cross. Name: (your choice)
