"What do you mean you were 'just talking', hmm?" A very angry-looking blonde put small hands on his hips. "That's never a good sign with you."
I let my arms hang helplessly at my sides. Relationships…suck. "What the hell do you want me to say, Roxas? She was there and she wanted me, who was I to deny her? It's just immoral."
"Axel, you slept with a-a girl you met in a bar! Then you came home, smelling like sex and cheap perfume, and lied to me! What part of that is moral?" Roxas stomped off to the kitchen and threw two eggs furiously into a frying pan. "I know you're not used to monogamy, but if you're going to be with me, you have to get used to it!"
I opened my mouth to reply, but instead winced at the sound of eggs hissing angrily in the pan. I entered the kitchen and hugged my 'boyfriend' around the waist, playfully nipping his ear. "Come on, Roxy, it was nothing." I purred into his neck, trying to sound seductive. After a night of female, it was difficult to adjust to gayness again.
But so is the curse of an irresistible hot rod.
"Don't give me that, Axel." His shoulders slumped. He was cracking. I used the opportunity to pull him closer to me, stroking his stomach. "It's just…I…what is it about me that's not good enough for you?"
Oh, shit. Game over. He was using the feminine nag methods.
"Roxas, it's not you, it's-" Nope, too lame. I sighed. "Look, Roxas, it's nothing personal, okay? I mean, you know how much I care about you, I'm just-"
"Horny all the time?" He offered sarcastically.
Okay, I deserved that.
"Well, yes." I replied weakly. That was the answer, after all. "But I wouldn't leave you or anything, I swear!"
Roxas slid out of my grip, eggs completely forgotten. They looked rather forlorn, frying into oblivion.
"It's not that. I love you so much, Axel, and it's just frustrating to know that other people can see and touch you the way I can." He sat down at the kitchen table. I did the same.
"So, in other words, you're insanely jealous?"
"Yes!" He was obviously embarrassed, but too angry to care. "You're mine."
I grinned. He was so adorable sometimes. Reaching out and grabbing his hand across the table, I kissed it gently. "Okay, Roxy, I'll try my hardest not to fuck anyone other than you."
He threw his hands up in the air and stomped out of the kitchen. "You don't have to say it like that!" He didn't fool me. I could hear the satisfaction in his voice.
Leaning back, I contemplated my victory. Really, I should have stopped then. I knew how much it hurt Roxas when I cheated on him, but…damn! Why was there so much hotness in that city? It was practically begging me. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
Bitches love me 'cuz they know that I can ROCK!
My cell phone ringer blared from my pocket. That song only belonged to select people, and upon checking the caller ID, I smiled.
"Hey, Larxene! What's goin' on?" I propped my booted feet up on the table, an action punishable by death if Roxas ever saw.
I could practically see her grinning on the other end of the line. "Not much. Hey, thanks for last night. I really needed it."
"No problem, babe. Any time." A twang of guilt knotted my stomach, but I banished it with the thought of future sex. "I'm headed over to the mall later with Marluxia, wanna come along?"
She paused, displeased. "You're bringing that loser? Axel, he's the reason I was even in that bar last night."
"Oh, you two need to kiss and make up. Come on, it'll be good for you."
"…Okay."
"Meet me out front at noon."
"Gotcha."
I shut the phone with a loud clap and shoved it back in my pocket. Larxene, long-time friend and occasional one-nighter. Of course, I wasn't really into women, but Larx had a way about her that was just irresistible sometimes.
Bitches love me 'cuz they know that I can ROCK!
…The hell? I answered the phone, not bothering to check the ID.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm bringing a friend." Larxene giggled into the phone.
I raised an eyebrow. "A friend? Do I know her?"
"Him. He just moved here. Axel, he's a band director at the college, isn't that cool?" Oh, yeah. She was crushing.
"Yeah, simply amazing. I can't wait to meet your band geek friend."
"Oh, stop it. I think you'll like him."
"Whatever. I gotta go get ready. See you at noon." I clapped the phone shut again, paused, opened it, and turned it off. Then shut it again.
Roxas wandered back into the kitchen, Suspicious Housewife Mode fully kicked in. "Who was on the phone?"
"Larxene." I dumped the burned eggs into the garbage and put the pan in the sink. "We're going to the mall later with Marluxia."
He hovered behind me. "Oh." Disappointed. I felt like a dick. "Will you be home sort of early? I rented some movies for us."
I smiled, turned, and pulled him into an embrace. "I love you, Roxas." I smoothed his blonde hair. "And I'd be thrilled to watch movies with you later."
He beamed. "Great! I'll make us dinner!" he hurried out of the kitchen with a shopping list. I grinned and leaned against the fridge, waiting. He darted back in moments later. "And I love you, too!" He planted a quick kiss on my cheek and ran out the door to his car.
