Xavier p.o.v
I had to talk to the doctor and tell him what happened
"I'm really worried about him he seemed to have a lot of mental issues- but I never imagined things would turn out this bad
he's had memory loss- before but not like this
and on top of it he - can't see my face- can you tell me the diagnosis?" I replied
"Well I can't tell you the full diagnosis but he does have prosopagnosia [ face blindness]
and there is no treatment but as long as you're here for him every day he'll start to recognize your presence- and you have to introduce yourself to him a few times before he can
it will take time and I can't promise that all his memories will come back or ever -" he replied
"Thanks doc- and I'll be here I promise and I'm not going to break it-" I replied
.... the next day
[third P.o.v]
Xavier walked into Callus's room
"Hey Cal it's me again Xavier-" he replied
"Xavier?" Callus replied
"Xavier your husband-" he replied and showed him the rings on their fingers
Callus's eyes widen for a moment
and he remembered briefly
"right-your my zavi-" Callus replied
Xavier felt tears of joy-
"you-remembered- Cal- I missed you so much-" he replied wanting to hug him
"Xavier-please don't touch me just yet- I'm ok with you holding my hand but- nothing else alright? and that kiss on my forehead felt nice but-don't kiss me again- ok?" Callus replied
"Oh right I almost forgot- I'm really sorry Cal-
since you can't recognize me as well- of course it would come back-" he replied
"what would come back?" Callus replied
"you don't like people touching you I completely understand it because I have it too
and so did Malik but we were both comfortable with you and you were comfortable with us-" he replied
"why does it sound like I was with you both at the same time?" Callus replied
"cause you kinda were?" he replied
"I-I- was?" Callus replied
"Well Malik is at home taking care of our kid-" he replied
"our kid?" Callus replied
"sh*t- I shouldn't have gotten carried away- but yes we have a kid it's a bit complicated to explain right now-" he replied
"oh- I guess it shouldn't be so surprising- how long has it been?" Callus replied
"a very long time- about a year- and a half?"
"you waited that long?" Callus replied
"heh, it doesn't matter how long I would have waited until the end of time for you-" he replied
"But what about your kid?" Callus replied
"Oh don't worry I always see him after my visits with you-" he replied
"him? so what's his name and how old is he?" Callus replied
"Well around the accident he was 3 so he's 5 -"
he replied
"accident?" Callus replied
"why you ended up here- but I can't exactly explain that to you yet-" he replied
"Oh- alright- so his name?" Callus replied
"Calix-" he replied
"Calix?" Callus replied
"it means handsome and you're the one who named him-" he replied
"oh- and what does Zavi mean?" Callus replied
"it means beautiful- it kinda pissed me off when I first found out but I've grown quite fond of it- and it made me happy you called me your Zavi-" he replied
"Well I'm glad-I want you to be happy too you sounded so sad last time-" Callus replied
"aw-Cal- you know that you don't have to push yourself for me but thank you-you know I'll always love you no matter what-" he replied
"really? I just feel that I don't deserve you-" Callus replied
"Cal- I understand why you feel that way and I know you can't remember but just know that you have changed so much- you became a better person-and I almost lost you again
but I deserve you and you deserve me
it doesn't matter what happened in the past all that matters is that we're here for eachother now- and you need me more than ever and I can't let you go-" he replied
"I-I - thank you Zavi- and I'm not going anywhere I promise-" Callus replied
"I know-Cal-" he replied
"why do I feel as if you don't believe me?" Callus replied
"it's just- I hate to lose you- you scared me that first time- and- this time It feels just so real and I'm scared so scared- I don't know what I do without you- I couldn't bare it-" he replied
"Well I'm here right now aren't I?" Callus replied grabbing his hand and rubbing it
Xavier blushed but he knew Callus couldn't see it
"Yes you're right-" he replied
"and you know what they say fate is not what it seems-" Callus replied
Xavier let out tears of joy
"Callus- you- you- said it again- you said our saying-" he replied
"our saying?- I didn't remember who said it but it has been stuck in my mind-" Callus replied
"We used to say to eachother in each life-" he replied
"each life? is that why you're worried about losing me again?" Callus replied
"No- as far as I remember you always lost me but I did end up losing you in a different way
but in the end you came back for me- and then- you disappeared again but hey you're here now and that's all that matters-" he replied
"so does that mean I'm going to leave again?" Callus replied
"do you want to?" He replied
"No-" Callus replied
"good the only reason you couldn't stay with me is because you couldn't choose- that's why you went back and forth but in the end-
you found out that you never had to choose
that you could be with us both- and so that's what happened-" he replied
"so- I- I- really was with you both?" Callus replied
"and still are I could bring him here but not now- since you're still just getting used to me-" he replied
"oh- I see- that's why I felt like something was missing no someone-" Callus replied
"heh- can't admit I'm not jealous of him but I know that you love him just as much- so I'm not mad-" he replied
"Oh-I see- so- how does it work?" Callus replied
"Well we both married you-" he replied
"But I only see one ring on my finger-" Callus replied
"We both are married to you it's just his is in papers-" he replied
"oh-" Callus replied
"Hey on the brightside you're happy-" he replied
"Yeah- having two men in my life-I can not say I expected that-" Callus replied
"eh well you know what they say fate is not what it seems-" he replied
"I know- this may sound weird but I feel as if there was someone else?-" Callus replied
"not that I know of? I'm pretty sure it was just me and Malik-" he replied
"oh- then- David- no wait- I think it was Daniel?
no- that's not it- Drew- that's it-" Callus replied
"who?" he replied
"he was an co-worker of mine- I sort of had a crush on him?-" Callus replied
"a- co-worker?!- you- didn't perhaps cheat on me with him did you?!" He shouted
"I think I did-" Callus replied
"Dammit Cal- why is that thing you had to remember?!" he replied
["Eh cause the author said so-" Callus replied
"Callus you're not supposed to be aware yet!"]
"Eh I don't know- just happened I guess-" Callus replied
"Well I should say I'm surprised but I'm really not but that's in the past now right?" He replied
"Yeah I guess- but how can you forgive me so easily?" Callus replied
"look I've known you for years now- we had many lives together- I know what you're like but I could never hate you and sometimes I question it but- I can't bare to lose you- I just want you to come back to me- you always do- no one can be perfect you are broken but so am I- I know what's like I'll always be there for you because you are good and with me every step of the way- so I'll return the favor and shed some light on you- you've made mistakes and so I have I but we'll get through this together alright?" He replied
"I didn't know you were quiet the poet Zavi-" Callus replied
"Thanks I learned it from you-" he replied
"you learned it from me?" Callus replied
"Yeah sort of- but you always made it a joke-
and you teased me a lot- and eventually I started teasing you back- and you used that pickup line on Malik as well-" he replied
"pickup line?" Callus replied
"do you know why they call me Callus because you'll get me on your feet that way I'll be with you every step?-" he replied
"that's a good pick up line- I can't believe I came up with it-" Callus replied
"Well the way you said it was lamer- but that's what you said-" he replied
"oh- I see- but I remember using that same pickup line on Drew-" Callus replied
"Callus-of course you did-" he replied
"now- that I think about it- I cheated on my wife with two no three men-" Callus replied
"Callus- you know that you're not married to her anymore right?" He replied
"I know but I know that I was with you and Drew at the same exact time- and Malik as well- so why didn't I end up with him as well?" Callus replied
"wait it was at the same time?!" He shouted
"Yeah-now that I remember-" Callus replied
"I am forever going to be jealous of this Drew guy-" he replied
"I thought he was my soul mate as well but-I have no idea what happened to him-" Callus replied
"I wouldn't either but maybe Malik does? since you let him overtake your company and if that guy worked there Maybe there's a record on file and he can find out about him if you want-"
"Yeah- do please-" Callus replied
"I will Cal but don't expect him to be with you as well- it has been such a long time since then so he probably has his own life- with a wife or husband or two husbands and 6 kids" he replied
"6 kids? are you saying you want that many?" Callus replied
"I don't know, do you? I was just saying the probabilities-" he replied
"Well we already have one what is 5 more?" Callus replied
"you didn't just say that Cal- rasing one kid is already hard enough and times that by six-
and how would you even take care of them?
I know we were good parents to Calix at the beginning- but then- you did something stupid like always- and that scares me- so how could you handle 6?!" He shouted
"I-I- don't know-but we could work through it together the three of us-" Callus replied
"three?" he replied
"um Malik?" Callus replied
"Oh right-I thought you say Drew again-" he replied
"do you want it to be him?" Callus replied
"God No-" Xavier replied
"though because I can't remember faces you kinda look the same-" he replied
"I'm somehow doubting that has anything to do with it, me and Malik are almost twins
and you probably liked this Drew guy because he was similar to us-" he replied
"almost twins?" Callus replied
"Well we are almost identical but he has freckles on his body as for I don't-" he replied
"you don't have any freckles?" Callus asked
"I do-" he replied
"where cause I don't see them-" Callus replied
"there's a reason why you can't-" he replied with a sigh
it took Callus a second to understand
"they're on your face-" Callus replied
"Yeah it was the one thing you loved about me-so when you said you couldn't see my face -and knowing you'll never see it again- it hurts- and it probably feels the same way for you-" he replied
"it does- I too wish I could see it again- I don't even want to remember their faces just yours-" Callus replied
"aw that's sweet Cal- and then again we all have the same face except I have freckles-"
"stop bringing them up-" Callus replied
"sorry-Cal- I think we talked too much this time-" he replied
"it's alright- I liked talking with you and learning more about myself-" Callus replied
"alright then and maybe next time I'll bring the book-" he replied
"book?-" Callus replied
"Yeah me and Malik both wrote it-" he replied
"what is it called?" Callus asked
"fate is not what it seems-" he replied
