Blue flipped her hair out of her eyes, a beaming smile plastered across her face. She wasn't quite sure why she was so happy that Tsume had kissed her. It wasn't like there were fireworks or anything. It was just so...nice and simple. However, she also felt slightly guilty. It's not like she wasn't happy that Hige was obviously irritated for some reason, and Blue was almost certain that the reason was Tsume. Blue just didn't want it to appear as if she wanted to make him jealous, however nice a side effect it might have been.
"So," said Blue, attempting to break the ice. "That was fun." Hige simply looked at her like she was crazy and continued walking. "Maybe we should do that again?"
"Funny, I thought you couldn't stand Christie," Hige replied icily and Blue shuddered. This could get bad, she thought nervously.
"Well, having you and Tsume there made it alright."
"Well, why the hell didn't you tell me you had met a guy!?" Hige clasped his hand onto the door handle of the stairway tightly. "I could have talked Christie out of it!"
"I got lucky that Tsume was the guy who was there. It's no big deal, Hige," Blue sighed, walking in after him.
"Of course it's a big deal! He kissed you, didn't he?!" Blue felt her cheeks grow immediately pink. Sure, it hadn't been the deep, passionate kiss she was used to, but she still enjoyed it.
"What I mean to say is that I don't understand why you're so pissed off. Tsume's just a guy, like you, and there is no reason to be angry at him for kissing me. It's not as if it was against my will, you know." Blue bit the inside of her cheek as soon as she said that, feeling completely terrible. Hige looked as if he had been slapped in the face.
"Well, you still didn't initiate the kiss, so I think he was out of line." Hige unlocked the door to their apartment and opened it.
"It's my face, Hige, and I say he wasn't." Blue shut and locked the door behind her. "And I did kiss him back. If I didn't want to kiss him I would have pulled away and you know it. You're just pissed off that I might be interested in someone."
"I am not!"
"Well you sure fooled me!" Blue snapped back, crossing her arms as she pushed past Hige.
"Why would I have broken up with you, only to act jealous over you kissing some other guy?"
"Hell if I know! Boys are weird!" Blue felt a terrible pain in her chest. "And if you aren't jealous, then stop complaining about me letting another guy within two feet of me!"
"So I'm not allowed to want you to find someone who's worth it?" Hige shouted. "Great. Obviously what we had couldn't have meant that much since you've found someone new so fast."
"Well right back at you, Hige!" Blue shouted back. "And at least Tsume is considerate! He doesn't smother me like Christie does to you! And if what we had meant SO much, then why end it in the first place?"
"That's none of your business."
"It's pleanty of my business! I was involved and I deserve to know why you went and majorly screwed up a big part of my life!"
"I knew you were sheltered, Blue," began Hige, taking his voice back down to normal. "But I didn't think you were so oblivious to the fact that relationships are a two way thing! Once you get involved, you take some of the blame too."
"Well why don't you start taking the blame for the crap you've done to me then? Stop acting as if you care because if you did you would still be with me right now!" Blue felt her eyes begin to sting. She hated crying, especially around Hige. Crying would only make this situation worse.
"How many times do I have to say it, Blue! I screwed up! It's my fault entirely, and not a day goes by now that I don't wish I could take it back."
Blue could feel her breath become short. Hige was really serious. It wasn't just a simple break up. Everything was really over. "If you mean that, then let me move on, dammit. I'm going to bed." Blue turned on her heel quickly, just wanting to get away from everything. It hurt way too much to be here any more. But before Blue could get too far, Hige grabbed her wrist, pulled her into a close embrace and pressed his lips against hers. Blue felt all her nerve and irritation melt away as their kiss deepened. What had happened to mess everything up? It had been so perfect before. She pushed herself away and guilt flooded her completely.
"I'm sorry," she said, allowing herself to finally cry. "I just can't do this any more." And without another word, Blue ran back to her bedroom, leaving Hige standing alone. Hige then pressed two fingers to his lips. He could almost feel them tingling with desire like they used to. Glancing towards the window, he realized it was a full moon outside.
"I feel terrible about this, but it's for the best," he sighed, pressing his hand against the cool glass. "And if not..."
