Glances around, then whispers Will you stop trying to leave it's getting old fast!
Lets out a sigh of relief Thank goodness I was starting to think you were gonna try something crazy again.
ugh no way I’m going on some crazy mission
Glances at phone and sees message from boss Damn it, your dad is on his way here and he wants us ready for a job.
sighs what does he want now?
Grabs Xavier by the collar and pulls him close He's got some high-stakes heist planned and he wants us to lead the team.
Grits teeth and says through clenched jaw Yeah, he's really testing our loyalty. But if we don't do it, he'll find someone else.
which means someone could kill you.
Pulls away from Xavier, stares him down Yeah, that's right, Xavier. It's kill or be killed. And I'm not about to let anyone get in my way.
wait! Are you saying you’d kill me if they order you to?
Takes a step back, visibly uncomfortable What?! No, Xavier, I would never... I mean, of course not! It's just...
but.. you would kill for me right?…because if you wouldn’t….then I can just die now
Grips Xavier's shoulders tightly Damn it, Xavier! Of course I would kill for you! I've sworn to protect you, whether you like it or not!
…then why won’t you trust me…let me help…you always say your protecting me…but it’s not true if you don’t let me help you….and I know you don’t want to lose me…so if you don’t trust me then you’re pushing me away…
<Stephen looks into Xavier's eyes and realizes the truth in his words. From that moment on, Stephen starts trusting Xavier more and involving him in the missions.>
So what do you say? Can I tag along this time?
Raises an eyebrow, a sly smirk forming Well, well, well, look at you, all eager and ready for action. Fine, you can come along.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Babe? Did you just call me babe? You sure have a way with words, Xavier.
Leaning in close, his voice low and teasing Oh, Xavier, you're such a feisty one, aren't you? Calling me "babe," huh?
