Remind myself in this smudged glass that pretty isn't everything, you punk-ass. Always hard to see past the surface when it looks so perfect, but our eyes will disguise dirt on purpose, you listening?
xavier keaton | 17 | junior | the confidant
Gabe wondered why Xavier was so interested in talking to him. Xavier had been friends with Dante, after all, and by that point in the school, most of Danteâs old friends didnât pay attention to Gabe, for better or for worse. Still, Xavier was nice, and talking to him couldnât hurt. âIâm just struggling with getting quotes for this article Iâm writing, and on top of that, Mrs. AlâMomââ he need to keep up appearances ââis on my ass about getting a B on AP Stats. Just normal stuff.â
Xavier studied Gabe as he spoke; he seemed genuine. It was just regular school stress that had him worried, maybe with a dash of family problems. âAh, right, youâre in the school paper. Out of curiosity, whatâs the article on?â It was probably best to ask Gabe about his interests, as opposed to why he felt the need to call Mrs. Alvares âmomâ. He never felt the need to call Archie âdadâ, though he was more of a parent to him than his actual father, so Xavier couldnât see what all the fuss was about. âGabe, if you want my opinion, I think you need to cut loose a little bit.âÂ

âNo, we⊠we knew each other very well, which is why we hated each other,â she explained, shaking her head and closing her eyes. âSorry, can we talk about something else? Please?â She picked up her backpack, suddenly feeling uncomfortable being this close to the shrine. âSomewhere else?â
Xavier chastised himself; what a mean thing to do. He pushed away from the lockers. âOf course, Alice. Apologies, Iâm just- on edge. I, uh, I could drive you home, if you want.â He slid his sunglasses back over his eyes, palming his keys in his pocket. âLetâs talk about... oo, the resignation of Theresa May. Have you been keeping up with your current events, Clarke?â he asked with a smirk.Â
Alice shook her head, a slight embarrassed giggle escaping her lips. âIâm fine, I promise, just⊠thinking, I guess.â She then tilted her head a bit, assuming his question was a joke. âYouâre kidding, right? No, we really werenât.â
He narrowed his eyes at her for a moment. Perhaps it was cruel to play with her like this, but seeing Danteâs shrine was putting him on edge. âOh,â he said, looking back down at his feet, knowing smirk gracing his lips. âRight, of course, how silly of me. You barely knew each other.âÂ
Early summer nights in Boston came warm and humid, the air settling thick through the open windows even from the Keatonsâ penthouse. Xavier had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, though he still kept his shiny Louboutin Oxfords on. He had company, after all.Â
Xavier had spent too long mourning, taken by surprise with how hard Danteâs death hit him. Consequently, he'd missed the time for succession planning; Lysander Seo was the new king. There was only one person Xavier wanted to see in charge, though, and it wasn't the Ice Prince. It was the Prince currently parsing through his guardianâs whiskey cabinet.Â
âThe Macallan single malt is my personal favorite, Your Highness,â he said, using the nickname heâd thought of the moment he'd heard Princeton's name. âItâs your call, though.âÂ
Alice blinked up at him, shaking her head to try and snap out of whatever trance she was in. âSorry, hi,â she greeted, sneaking one last glance at the shrine before turning her body to face him. âHowâre you, Xavier?â
âHow am I?â Xavier asked, pointing to himself. âHow are you? You looked like you were halfway to Mars.â He played with his sunglasses for a moment, studying her, before turning to stare at the shrine. âYou two were close, huh?âÂ

â  i  think  you  might  be  right,  â  anna  agrees,  ponytail  bouncing  behind  her.  â  and  of  course.  iâll  be  working  a  lot,  but  luckily  that  means  a  lot  of  travelling  .  .  .  and  in  my  downtime,  iâll  probably  be  spending  most  of  my  time  in  paris.  how  about  you?  â
âBusy bee,â Xavier commented with a smirk. âNot as if I expected anything less from the incorrigible Miss Kennedy.â He sighed to himself, throwing his head back a bit in mock-exasperation. âArchie snagged me an internship at Pershing Square, so, gonna be spending the summer getting coffee for hypertensive hedge fund managers.â In truth, it was Xavier who had gotten that position, with little help from Archie save for a name drop, but why would he tell Anna he actually worked hard for something? âParis sounds like itâll be a lot more fun. Whatâre you gonna do; visit the Louvre and critique the Venus de Miloâs bone structure?âÂ
@aramintapark: dropping the link to my birthday gift registry for all you last-minute shoppers coming to my party, don't disappoint or you're #uninvited!
@xavikeats: araminta, do you really have such little faith in us? we at houghton always aim to please đ
Gabeâs stance shifted when he saw Xavier, regressing back into the person most people saw: shoulders slightly hunched over, arms held close to his body, making himself small. It was a reflex; he didnât like making himself seen, even if it was somebody he genuinely liked, like Xavier. Â âItâs nothing,â Gabe said. âJust a bad day that keeps on getting worse, yâknow? How are you?â
His posture immediately shifted as soon as Xavier spoke. Hm, interesting; so Gabe felt the need to hide his anger. And, more interestingly, he knew how to lie. Huh. âIt looked like nothing,â Xavier teased, leaning against the wall in front of Gabe. âOh, you know, killing life, as always. Before it kills me.â He smirked. âWas about to head to dance class early, but I can stay and chat, if you need to vent.âÂ
âDamn it!â Gabe shouted, slamming a locker door shut. It wasnât even his locker; it just happened to be open, and he was just mad. He had to interview the school principal for an article, and heâd been blown off for the third time since setting up the initial meeting. If he didnât get a good quote soon, heâd miss his deadline, which would throw off the paperâs layout. As Gabe leaned against the lockers, trying to calm himself, he realized that there was another person in the hallway with him.
âIâm so sorry, and Iâm even more sorry if that was your locker door I just slammed,â Gabe said, his voice much less harsh than before. âI thought I was alone.â
As soon as Xavier heard the slam, he turned his head, eyebrows raised. Heâd expected it to be some meathead from the football team, but it was the most bookish, and typically calmest, jock he knew. Something was up. âWhoa there, Rosales!â he said, approaching the other student with his hands up. âNo worries. Whatâs got you hot-and-bothered?âÂ

Alice leaned against the lockers, her left foot against the bottom of the door with her arms crossed. She was right across from the Dante shrine, taking a good long look at it. Summer was coming up, and itâd be months before she could see it again. Hell, she didnât even know if the school would let it stay the memorial or if theyâd be quick to assign that locker to some unknowing freshman. Alice hadnât realized that she had been staring at the locker shrine for around twenty minutes after the last bell rang until she heard someone approach.
While Xavier didnât believe in ghosts, he understood where the sentiment came from. The memories of the dead clung to the living like a second skin, but no matter how humans tried to externalize that grief, to separate it from themselves, it never seemed to work. Enter sweet, simple Alice Clarke. Xavier wondered, almost absentmindedly, if sheâd ever lost someone like that before.
He leaned against the row of lockers, a few feet from her, staying silent for a moment before asking, âGround control to Major Tom?âÂ
âWell, it seems to me that a few weeks off will do us all some good,â Xavier allowed. Danteâs death and the resulting pandemonium had made Houghtonâs hallowed halls a rather chaotic place to be, even more so than usual. Not like Xavier minded a little chaos. âIâm sure youâve made the wise decision to spend summer vacation far, far away from here.âÂ
yes iâm back with a third character like a week after making my second, but i was also developing him while developing diana. and when we could have a third character AND the âconfidanteâ slot opened up, he was just too perfect. so, may i present, xavier keaton, gentleman, philosopher, and compulsive liar. like this post or hmu for plots!!!
xavierâs the son of media mogul and professional piece of shit daniel campbell, and one of his many paramours. was essentially raised by tutors and nannies, and was sent to boarding school in switzerland at age eight
heâs a smart kid, but he learned all of his values from, like, movies. he's big on vigilante justice and shit.
a genuine humanitarian and very conscious of the plights of others from a very young age
then, when daniel died from an alcohol overdose when xavier was 13, he was adopted by danielâs old school friend, cfo and noted philanthropist archibald keaton iii, who brought him back to the states and into his home in boston in order to give xavier a proper upbringing.
xavier chose to take on archibaldâs surname all by himself, because, of course, his actual father was a professional piece of shit, and he also adores archibald
sees archibald as a guardian and mentor as opposed to a straight-up father figure
archibald is kind of his hero, always using his position of power and wealth to help those beneath him and changing the system from the inside. xavier has internalized those policies.
both xavier and archibald are very philosophical and can talk about philosophy and ethics forEVER
xavier is extremely charming, cordial to almost everyone he meets, and is seen as a brilliant but lazy student. also he looks like THAT, so heâs quite popular
he's actually not lazy at all; he tries really hard you guys. he just likes to pretend he doesn't because he likes the idea of being a lazy genius. everything about him is a lie
doesnât use his popularity to hurt people, though he does love to learn secrets so he feels like he has power over people
everything is about power with him, and he believes soft power is far more effective than hard power.
tends to hold people at an arms length, because he has SHIT TO HIDE and also he may or may not be dead inside
can and will talk about everything. he's socrates 2.0Â
disagrees with the windsors, because he doesnât think people should use their power to exploit. in fact, if he could do away with the windsors, he gladly would. (now may be the optimal time, since dante's gone). but he can still be friendly with individual windsors
so kind of on the nietzschesâ side? loves the idea of revolution, and loves it when people shake things up
kind of likes the inferno, too????? heâs not against it. and as for dâŠ. well, theyâre cool in his book. he thinks its justice against the windsors. he just hopes dante didn't put anything abt him in his journal before he died.
it was impossible for dante and xavier to avoid each other, and xavier initially disagreed with dante on many things. they disagreed about a lot until the day dante died.
however, xavier was always fascinated by dante, as heâs fascinated by power, and, eventually, they became genuine friends. tbh, dante was one of xavierâs only true friends
they used to talk and drink and smoke late into the night, talking about everything and nothing on xavierâs penthouse balcony. admittedly, xavier was likely a little too honest during these conversations, but dante was just too fascinating a personality.
lowkey also wanted to earn dante's trust and change his policies on some things to make him not an asshole but clearly that didn't workÂ
danteâs death definitely hit him hard; the funeral was the first time he cried in a VERY long timeÂ
FUN FACTS!!!!!
was born in los angeles, though doesnât know the area very well since he didnât spend very long there
he wouldnât be caught dead in a tshirt, hoodie or sweatpants. like he is VERY image-conscious
probably irons his jeans like heâs that weird
learns languages for fun. can speak english, french, german, spanish, brazilian portuguese, and russian, and is learning mandarin and italian
wants to be an activist investor when he grows up, which, yes, is as douchey as it sounds, but he likes finance and he sees it as his own way of changing the world for the better. and yes he does want to change the world.
he adores ballet, has been dancing since he was a child, and if youâre looking for him in the evenings, heâs probably taking a class at the boston ballet
genuinely adores art and art history, and can talk in wonder about all different arts for hours
has two border collies named sadie and ella and he loves them more than most people
if he has a philosophy, it's that the ends justify the means
WANTED CONNECTIONS
someone heâs hopelessly, desperately in love with, who will likely never love him back
friends from all social levels
friends with benefits/hook-ups
an ex who broke up with him because they realized he was in love with someone else
high society friends that talk shit at galas together
frenemies - they hate each other but xavier will never admit it
