Story: You need to calm down

Pairing: Micro-Ice & Sinedd

This chapter is a lot shorter, but I am currently writing chapter 3, so you should get something more soon. It's going to be one-shots and not a full out written story.

So enjoy and hearing your thoughts about the story is always nice.

They didn't speak about what happened between them that night. When they woke up the next morning, each in their own bed, it downed on them what they had done. And they weren't sure that they liked it in hindsight. Both were confused, embarrassed and even a little shocked at the others actions. Neither had ever considered being with a man, so they didn't know how to handle the situation at the moment.

Sadly they couldn't ignore the question that kept running threw their heads: 'What do I do now?'

Ignoring and avoiding said person seemed like a good idea.

Sadly their teammates disagreed and they did everything to make sure the two would bond, as they thought the two were still bitter rivals, what they still were. The GFC would start soon, so they trained more then usual and Rocket kept trying to make them train together. But Sinedd and Micro-Ice weren't taking that anymore, as they didn't want to be alone together. Micro-Ice would disappear from practice before Rocket could bring it up and Sinedd simply voiced his annoyance with the training and refused. Rocket didn't understand what was going on, but Tia picked up that they were avoiding each other, so she started paying close attention to them. She also told Rocket to stop forcing them to work together.

Mei and D'jok tried another approach to get the two to bond. Mei would get Sinedd to go out with her, because apparently he needed to get out more and she was the only one he tolerated enough to hang out with. Well, Rocket would be fine too, if he wasn't so dead set on getting him to work with Micro-Ice. And Tia was okay too he guessed. D'jok would get Micro-Ice to hang out, what was never hard, as long as he promised to buy them some greasy dinner, that Arch would never allow. After awhile the duo's would run into each other, by 'accident' and Mei would innocently suggest they hang out together. Both boy's refused vigorously and would storm off, leaving the couple to wonder why they didn't even try.

It made Mei pay closer attention to Micro-Ice and his behavior. Sinedd wasn't really acting any different in her eyes, he was always distance and difficult. Getting close to that boy was very difficult she had learned. He kept everyone at a certain distance. Mei thought it was to make sure they couldn't hurt him. But Micro-Ice was normally the most social of their group and always welcomed other players. She understood that they had history, but could he really not let that go? They didn't have to like each other, just tolerate one and other and be polite in each other's presens. It would make group outings and dinners a lot more comfortable and fun. She started noticing that Micro-Ice wasn't his usual bubbly self and he didn't make as much jokes as before. She wondered if this was all because of Sinedd's arrival. D'jok being D'jok, didn't notice these things, so Mei kept her thoughts to herself.

As much as the two men tried to avoid one and other, their thoughts would drift to the other easily and they appeared in each other's dream, resulting in humiliating mornings for Micro-Ice as he shared a room with D'jok.

When Rocket arranged another family gathering, they realized that they couldn't keep avoiding each other, because else these events would get really annoying. Sinedd wanted to leave and ask Micro-Ice to join him, like they used to do, but he was nervous. He didn't want it to end like the last time, although he is blaming it all on the alcohol they had been drinking, so he wouldn't drink any tonight. Then again, he doubted he could tolerate hanging out with the kid if he was sober and he was pretty sure Micro-Ice felt the same way.

While he contemplated on how to approach this problem, the other boy was thinking the same thing. He came to the conclusion that he wanted to get out of here and do something to get his mind off of tonight. It didn't matter how he got entertained. Sinedd would just have to do. He was sure that what happened the last time would not happen again. It was a fluke, that was induced by the alcohol. He would just have to tolerate the taller boy's presence while being sober.

How hard could that really be?

Micro-Ice was never going to survive this night.

So he gathered all of his courage and walked up to the boy, who hadn't noticed him and kicked him against his shine. Sinedd wanted to snap at him, but he beat him to it: "Wane get out of here?"

Sinedd wondered if Micro-Ice wanted to get out of here because his mother hadn't showed up. He had noticed that Mana-Ice didn't come visit her son a lot. He wondered why that was. She always seemed like a caring mother, but then again he had no experience with mothers so what did he know.

He nodded and the pair left, with only Tia and Mei noticing.

It didn't take long or the drinks were flowing again and it happened again a lot quicker too. Maybe they should stay away from alcohol when they were together, because they decided that it was defiantly the alcohol that brought on this behavior. It couldn't possibly be anything else.
