Thank you for the reviews! This was requested by a reviewer... So... Yeah. More Aedion/Rowan tension!

Meeting Problems (2 Territorial Fae)

Rowan glared at Aedion, shooting daggers in his direction. Aedion glared back, unyielding, unbreakable. Rowan felt like sighing- Aedion was the male version of Aelin- The much more annoying version as well.

Aelin sighed. I turned to look at her- Irritation and amusement was written all over her features. "If you two don't stop the territorial fae nonsense right this instant, I'm leaving." she said, throwing both hands up in submission and raising her eyebrows at us.

Rowan growled, but Aedion replied, "Fine." Rowan scowled at the table, glowering. He didn't want to drive Aelin away just because they couldn't settle their differences.

Aelin sighed out of her nose sharply, rolling her eyes. "You two behave while I go to the bathroom," she gave Rowan a pointed look. "alone." she finished.

As Aelin exited the council room, closing the door behind her with a soft click, Aedion and Rowan glared at each other with new found hatred.

Smiling coldly, Rowan shot Aedion a look that said-

Aelin most definitely does not need more stress. Stop bringing up finances- If you continue, she'll go off on her own again to get more. Just like she did with Arobynn. Rowan's eyes hardened at the thought of the plan that helped Terrasen- and caused irreparable damage to Aelin.

Aedion seemed to notice these thoughts. Yes, and also gave Aelin closure. Plus, I'm not going to lie to Aelin. We've never kept secrets from each other.

Rowan couldn't help himself. He growled at Aedion. "Closure? This is what you call closure? Did Aelin ever come to you at night? She is only 23. You can't expect her to carry Terrasen on her shoulders alone."

Aedion bared his teeth, rolling his eyes sarcastically. "I'm not asking her to. And she is not a girl- You should have figured that out by now, Rowan."

Rowan snarled at Aedion. "I have, Aedion- I'm not calling her that. I-" Before Rowan could finish, Aelin walked in, running her hand through her hair. She paused at the sight of Aedion and Rowan- Rowan, now standing up, his palms flat on the table with his teeth bared, leaning towards Aedion. And Aedion was standing up as well, his fist raised, nostrils flared, and mouth open, exposing his canines.

Both their heads whipped towards Aelin, freezing in the poses they were in. Aelin paused as well, hand in her hair. She huffed, her eyes narrowing, dropping her hand.

"You two couldn't behave for a minute. You two could be heard from the bathroom, by the way. Which is down the hall." She said, pointing towards the open door. "Every time that we try to have a meeting, I come back to this."

Rowan stared at the ground, and in his peripheral vision, he could see Aedion doing the same. "Sorry Aelin," they said in unison.

Aelin laughed, and Rowan whipped his head up to face her. "You two are sad alpha fae. So submissive." She smirked at him and Aedion. "You know, we've tried to have 5 meetings this week. It's Friday, now."

Aedion exhaled loudly. "We can try to behave, as you call it."

Aelin smiled, then reached inside her pocket. And swore colorfully and creatively. "I'll be right back. Behave." She shot a glare in their direction, before rushing out of the door.

Rowan shot a glare at Aedion.

You have to stop- We've tried to have a meeting everyday for a week, but you keep on picking fights with me!

Aedion growled. I keep on picking fights? You're the one starting them! This is all your fault, after all!

A few days later, and they still hadn't been able to hold a meeting.

*Cringes* Yup. I just wrote this madness. Sorry.
