I brushed my thumb along the bottom of Eli's lower lip. It was cut, deep; Which angered me, that somebody did this to his perfectly lopsided lips.
"What happened?" I asked, bringing my hand back down to my side.
"Cops had to break up the fight. And somebody put the name of a convicted arsonist on Fitz's fake ID. OOPS!" He rolled his eyes with a smirk on his face, "He'll be spending a few hours at the cop shop."
"Who had him arrested?" I began walking forward, with Eli following close behind.
"He'll be out as soon as they clear up the mistaken identity. Let's just say that I'd rather be feared by Fitz than liked." He said, in a somewhat offended voice.
"So that's it?" I asked.
"Yeah. What'd you expect?" He asked.
"I don't know. I was just on my way to Simpson's office to express concern over your mental stability." I said, hoping that my sarcasm would lighten up the mood.
"Clare, give me some credit. Worse that happens he gets busted for fake ID possession, might have to go to court," He said, my sarcasm not changing a thing.
"And what if Fitz tells the cops where he got it?" I questioned.
"His word against mine," He sounded confident that nothing could go wrong. That was one of the many things I liked and hated about Eli, he didn't really care for consequences; It wasn't his style.
"He's gonna be pretty mad."
Eli looked over my shoulder, "Speak of the devil."
I turned my head to see Fitz approaching us. I then quickly stood behind Eli, not to get in their way.
"Good one, Eli. You got me," Fitz said.
Eli, looking up, right into Fitz's eyes, "You do realize that ID was just for novelty purposes only." His signature sarcasm.
"I'll have to tell that to the judge," Fitz said.
"Hope you've learned your lesson."
"Too bad for you I'm a slow learner," threatened Fitz, breaking in between Eli and me to push Eli more out of the way.
Eli had that smirk I adored so much planted on his face. He then ran his finger across his forehead, sweeping his bangs back to the side.
"So what now? You two at war?" I asked.
"I'm in his head. Right where I want to be," Eli said, still with a smirk on his face.
