Edward stopped showing up as much after Siler showed up, and that was worrying, did he think I was going to be mad at him? Thus this meeting, Edward thinks he's meeting Roxanne, but in reality, it's going to be me instead.

He froze, eyes wide, a frown forming when I opened the door to Roxanne's apartment. "And what is this?" He asked the moment he realized Roxanne was not here causing me to sigh; "You've been avoiding me, I just wanted to talk to you." Edward sighed his eyes burning with irritation, The door closing with a little snap."Are you serious? I thought you figured it out. Should have by now." Figured out what? What in the world was he talking about?

Edward sighed even louder if that was possible; "Oh my god, you really haven't figured it out, seriously? And I thought you got the hints?" What exactly had he hinted at? Edward rolled his eyes as if he knew what I'd been thinking and flicked his watch, the glass slid sideways and he caught it before turning it, in a way a watch shouldn't turn.

Siler looked bored when I jumped up, seriously?! "This whole time you were, then Tuck is Minion!" Siler nodded. "That would be the case yes." What the actual hell. "But, then...He's been lying to Roxanne this whole time, she's not going to like that, I don't like that!" Siler shrugged; "Well, I'm certain Roxanne's already figured our game. Figured out that he's Minion, and he will tell her before things get too serious." It would still hurt her feelings, still, make her upset and rage over such a big lie.

"You can't tell her Michael, Minion needs to be the one to tell her." Of course Minion had to tell her, but that didn't make things better! "Why did you two do this to us? Why would you lie like this and make us think you were friends? That you cared about us?" Siler looked taken aback as if he couldn't understand what was going on here.

"We only lied because we wanted to start new lives, becoming friends with both you and Roxanne wasn't planned, it wasn't something we did to hurt either of you. I had misgivings about it when Minion told me he'd accidentally befriended Roxanne, I had doubts about getting close to you. But, I felt that we'd become close enough that you might be able to forgive us for lying. Apparently, I was wrong about that." He turned, his shoulders hunched over. "I was wrong that you were someone I could have in my life."

We could both say that now. "I guess you were." I took off deeper into Roxanne's apartment, the front door closed after a few minutes and I let out a breath. What had I done? I steeled myself, I had done what I should have. I couldn't be friends with someone who would lie to me like that.

Roxanne looked about ready to strangle me. "What the hell did you say to Edward?" I shrugged and continued cooking my grilled cheese. "Oh no, you don't get to do that with me." She grabbed my shoulder, not that she could move me, I allowed her to haul me around to face her. Might as well let her yell at me, wouldn't be the first time she had.

"Why would you hurt Edward and why on earth would you ruin your friendship with him!" I couldn't tell her about it. "It's personal." She let out a disgusted sound, "Why because Siler decided you were so stupid that he had to show you it was him?" My jaw dropped, what the heck? "You knew?" He acted like she didn't know? Had that been an act? "I and Minion had a conversation about a month back. Given that we were growing quite fond of each other and he didn't want to lie to me anymore."

So, Siler had been out of the loop on that one. "Why didn't either of you tell Siler about that?" She nibbled her lower lip nervously; "Because we also talked about...Well. About getting engaged." Marriage? They seriously talked about getting married? "Oh my god Roxanne."

She sighed; "Seriously, they're good people, mistreated and misunderstood and when I finally got to learn more about Minion, Tuck. I really started to care about him, and the same happened to him, he cares about me. We aren't sure if we'll actually get married, but it's something we've thought about."

I took my slightly charred grilled cheese off of the stove and took a deep breath. I might as well tell her now before Siler said anything. "I, I told Siler that I had a crush on him." She laughed; "On movie night right? I could tell mister teddy bear." I flushed, was I really that obvious? "He seemed flattered." She was digging. "Yeah well you found out what happened in your apartment though, I hurt him. There is no way he'd still be interested."

Roxanne blew out a breath; "Yeah, that's true. You did kind of act like a dick." I rolled my eyes at her. "They did lie." She gave me a fond smile; "And yet you still really care about them. You've been pouting for a few days given that you only make grilled cheese when your upset." Damn, I forgot that she knew that. "Yeah, well as you pointed out I was a dick." and it rankled me that I had taken out my fear and hurt on Siler like I always did. That wouldn't have made a very conductive friendship or partnership.
