Seasons

Summary: Welcome to Love & Deepspace Cafe! Today's menu is our favorite specialty drinks throughout the seasons—this is a one time limited offer, get them while they last! Pairing: None, just headcanons for all the L&DS boys! (Yes, including Caleb) Author's Note: Decided to make Love & Deepspace Cafe a little series on my random headcanons/blurbs for the boys! Also there's a Rafayel smut brewing in my drafts but that's a thing for another day ‿❀°

Xavier is Autumn, he’s warm clothes and cozy drinks. He’s the comfort film you put on whilst lounging all day in nothing but matching pajama sets, all tightly tucked under thick fleece blankets. Xavier is the shift of seasons from Summer to Winter, not quite hot but also not quite cold yet. He’s the hot tea you drink when you start to feel the chill in your bones, he’s the book you snuggle in during a slow Autumn afternoon. Xavier is Autumn because he reminds you of home.

Zayne is Winter, cool as ice and buried in a flurry of snow. He’s the first snowfall of the year, taking you by hand as you laugh in childish wonder. He's running outside to play in makeshift sleds, he's making silly little snow sculptures that you know will be gone by the end of the day. Zayne is a cup of hot cocoa that embraces you with warmth, he’s the thick cotton gloves that envelopes your hand as you rub them against one another, creating friction to fight off the cold Winter air. Zayne is Winter because he reminds you of innocence and childhood.

Rafayel is Summer, he’s the oddly comforting scent of coconuts and sunscreens. He’s the road trips you go on with friends, your hands dancing outside your car's window, screaming lyrics of some old song that came on the radio. Rafayel is the popsicle you buy in a hot summer’s day, hurriedly eating it before it melts, but laughing nonetheless when you’re left in a sticky mess. Rafayel is the sound of crashing waves and the view of a setting sun. Rafayel is Summer because he’s nostalgia personified, something that never fails to remind you that growing up isn't as bad as they made it out to be.

Bonus!

Caleb is Spring, he’s the weekend after school break, spent on late night phone calls with your friends, planning for the next time you can hang out. He’s mall dates with your best friends, he’s park walks with your pet, he’s sleeping in all day and going out till night just because you finally can. Caleb is the smell of freshly cut grass and morning dews. He’s the dandelions you make wishes on and the garden weeds you play with. Caleb is Spring because he reminds you of freedom.

Menu

Summary: Welcome to Love & Deepspace Cafe! Today's menu is your favorite boy's favorite food. Pairing: None (?) just little lore on why they love the food they love Author's Note: A little fun headcanon I've had in my mind whilst going through Xavier's, Zayne's, and Rafayel's anecdotes! . ݁𖦹₊ ⊹

🍲 Xavier who has an appetite for a hearty, filling hot pot meal with multiple side orders of meat because it brings him the comfort and warmth he so deeply craves from his light years spent on self-isolation. Xavier who holds on to the memories of a previous life lived by moving on top of a restaurant that sells just that — the same hearty hot pot meal that's filled with its aromatic spices, one that he used to share with an old friend, one that he longs to eventually share with you. Xavier who doesn’t realize it but its not the food itself that brings him comfort, but the memories and would be memories he would make surrounding that tiny little pot, boiling with the restaurant’s specialty soup base, filling his senses with the sense of finally belonging.

🍫 Zayne, the elusive doctor with a surprisingly sweet tooth, always hiding little sweet treats in the form of cocoa and milk in his inconspicuous Doctor’s coat. Zayne who loves the sweet taste of sugar because it serves as a stand-in for the sweet, childish love he craves to feel. Chocolates are a symbol of love after all, always being gifted by couples to one another every Echo Day Celebration. Zayne, who subconsciously thinks that if he can’t feel the feeling of love itself, it’s good enough to mimic it by consuming the one sweet thing that reminds him of you.

🐟 Rafayel who craves for the sweet, fresh taste that the sea could only offer, always finding himself in sea side cafes and beach front restaurants ordering their catch of the day. The media thinks it’s a wonder how an artist like himself hasn’t delved into the culinary arts just yet when time and time again he’s been spotted ordering the freshest batch of seafood a restaurant can offer. But they don’t know that it’s because seafood reminds Rafayel of his home, once from many a centuries ago, far from land and closer to sea. It reminds him of how he himself would catch fish, prawns, lobster - you name it - just so he could share a piece of his home with a landlocked girl he once upon a time fell in love with.

Cherry Blossom Gardens — 12:04 PM

The end of Spring signals for the beginning of an end. The cherry blossom trees slowly shed their beautiful, floral blooms, laying in wait until next year’s bloom. Rafayel stood underneath a mangled cherry blossom tree, admiring the stark contrast between its pinking flora and the dark scars that enveloped its body.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” You stood below him, a hand fondly resting on the tree's trunk.

Rafayel hummed, his eyes no longer on the tree but rather on the girl in front of him. He watched you, watched the way the gentle breeze pulled wisps of your hair along with it, the occasional pink petal dancing in harmony against the wind.

His lips curled into a soft smile. “It is.”

The gardens were packed with a crowd of visitors looking to relinquish in the last few days of Spring. It was May now. The pink blossoming trees have run their course for the year, and in a few days will start dying out one by one. But much like Rafayel’s love, it would only come time again for them to bloom once more.
