Hey there, this is my first challenge, so I hope I can get through it with ease. Please keep in mind, these are all MMxMM(Megamind/Metroman) so if you're not into that I don't recommend reading this.

I do not own Megamind or any of its characters.

He was angry, that much he knew.

Wayne watched silently as Syx stomped about the kitchen preparing dinner. He would have smiled at the memory of confessing his lack of culinary skills if he wasn't so afraid of doing anything at all. Since moving up in their relationship, they'd spent almost every waking hour around each other and flip flopped between their homes for visits or sleepovers. Wayne had gone to great lengths to prove himself to his lover, make up for all years and rejection and humiliation and prove that he could be a good boyfriend. With that, he had to prove to himself that their bad times were behind them and that he could handle this. Ha, a super hero stressing about romance...

How cliché.

It wasn't often that Syx got this way. In fact, Wayne had noticed how rare these moods were becoming with each passing day.

But that didn't mean they never happened...

Wayne was brought out of his thoughts by the loud impact of metal pans. He sat awkwardly at the table, his hands folded between his knees and his feet crossing this way and that. His blue eyes flickered between his partner's back and the polished wood and he let out a skillfully quiet sigh. He never knew what to do in these situations. Despite being the best at practically everything, his talents ran out at emotions. Syx was prone to drastic changes in mood, often leading to short periods of depression or unexplained fits of anger. Wayne didn't know why they happened and Syx, despite being slightly offended at the accusation, didn't know either, which only proved to make him more frustrated.

The musician hardly noticed when the banging stopped. Daring a glance at the other alien, he found his back was still turned to him. His arms were stretched on either side of his body and his head was hung in an almost exhausted stance as he leaned over the stove. It was usually in these moments when Wayne would make his approach and, fearing he might not get another opening, swiftly maneuvered out of his chair and onto his feet. He didn't bother to try and sneak up on the other man, in fact it was probably the worst thing he could do right now. In earlier incidents, when he had been naïve and inexperienced, he'd made all the wrong decisions. He'd jeered and gibed and heckled, trying his damn hardest to get a reaction out of his new lover, ignoring his shaking and attempts to get away from him. After hours of harassment, his own anger bubbled over and before he could get himself under control, he had pushed the younger into a corner and trapped him with his body.

Wayne winced at the memory. He hadn't meant for things to escalate so quickly. He tried desperately to get the image of his terrified partner out of his mind...It killed him to think that he had been the cause of that fear.

It also reminded him that, even now, Syx was still afraid of him.

His bare feet brushed against the cold floor as he walked...he wanted to make sure Syx heard him. He knew how much the smaller male hated being surprised and while he loved giving the other a good startle every once in a while, now wasn't the time.

Syx didn't move an inch as Wayne come up from behind him. He stood stiffly, glaring down at the fake granite of the stovetop as though lost in his thoughts. The musician tore his eyes away from his face to study the contents of the pan and upon further inspection, discovered it wasn't even turned on. This time he couldn't stop the sympathetic sigh from leaving his lips. Not caring about the possible repercussions, he wove his large arms around Syx's waist and rested his hands on his hips as he moved forward just enough to be cheek-to-cheek with him. Closing his eyes, he began to rock them gently from side to side.

They stayed in silence for what seemed like hours and just when worry began to claw back into his heart...

He felt Syx sway with him.

Thanks for reading
