Home life || He only lives with his father—his mother was never actually ‘with’ his father in the first place.
Background || Xavier’s mother and father had a one night stand. They were neighbors in the countryside, a small town in the mid-US. They didn’t quite plan to have any kids or even stay together after the affair. Mr. Reynolds was a restaurant owner and Xavier’s mother was a frequenter there. Drunk off of wine, she ushered Mr. Reynolds into her house and claimed to have always liked him.
After the drunken affair, Xavier’s mother was pregnant. She caused a huge scene about it and threatened Mr. Reynolds that if he didn’t take the child after it was born she’d press charges for assault as she was drunk and not in the right state of mind to provide legal consent. Xavier’s father agreed and in about nine months, the kicking and screaming Xavier was born. He looks more like his mother than he does his father, with her bright blue eyes and dark black hair.
His mother left after that and, ever since, Xavier’s had nothing to do with the woman. He was given to his father Arnold. At first Arnold had an annoying time trying to raise the baby, but managed to get assistance by hiring a nanny full time. While Arnold was out at work, Xavier spent time with his nanny, who he grew to view as a mother figure. She’d tell him stories about his father’s business and how he got there, and all kinds of other stories about his father. By the time Xavier was enrolled in school he had a fascination with cooking. His nanny taught him at first, how to cook his own lunches for school, and the older he got the better he got at cooking and the more complicated dishes he prepared.
He told his father about his interest in cooking and offered for his father to eat some of his food. His father offered critique and instead of getting upset Xavier used it to cook better. When he was in middle school, despite the bullies at his school for picking on him due to his frail body and hobby of cooking, Xavier said he wanted to take over the family business. His father was harsh about it, and told his son that if he wanted to set foot in the main kitchen, he had to go to Metric Academy for culinary arts, the school that Arnold himself had graduated from. Xavier agreed to this and enrolled in the academy. Arnold was actually ecstatic about this, but he didn’t want to just hand his business to Xavier if he didn’t display a determination for the art of cooking. The boy was always a very lazy and unmotivated fellow anyway, and Arnold wanted to ensure that he’s focused.
During the summers, when Xavier comes back, he works full time at his father’s diner. He’s always a host or a waiter and the locals know him and his father very well. Xavier was 15 when he discovered his sexuality—he met a boy in his hometown and had a fling with him. It was nothing really serious, mainly just something to do, but it quickly turned into Xavier realizing that he just wasn’t attracted to women. Xavier has not told his father about his sexuality yet, even though given how he acts most people think everyone already knows. He's jsut scared of officially saying the words to his father.
Xavier, at Metric, met a boy with whom he is now going steady.
