Ch. 20: Rescue Me from the Unicorn

Sirius' POV (Angela)

After school, I got ready to pick up Xavier. Kudos to that Joshua kid for getting Xavier into his home. The next step, get him alone in his bedroom? I laughed at the thought.

Xavier would rather die than admit it, but I sensed a strange bond between those two. It was almost magnetic. Josh poked and teased Xavier like he was patronizing him, but I could not help but notice the longing in his eyes. But Xavier was too thick-headed to notice it.

Don't worry, little guy. I will help you, I promised Joshua in my head.

Because helping him will get me closer to Denver. That's right, I haven't given up on her just yet.

My phone howled. The text tone I chose unironically. Because, why the fuck not?

'Dude, you need to come and rescue me from this unicorn of my nightmare,' Xavier texted.

I chuckled and quickly hit reply. 'On my way.'

I drove as fast as I could. Not so much to rescue Xavier but to see Denver. I knew she had to be there as she didn't have a car.

And I was right.

I parked in front of Joshua's house and looked around. It was a typical suburban home with a white fence and rose garden by the entrance. It didn't look like he was particularly rich but the house was big enough to show that his parents were well off.

I rang the doorbell and smiled when I saw who opened the door.

"Hey Denver," I tried to act casual as if she didn't harbor old hatred for me.

"Hey," she said curtly. "Xavier is upstairs with Josh. You should go save him before it's too late."

"Before that, I think we should talk," I said. I had to take this chance since she insisted on avoiding me at school.

"No thanks. I have fulfilled my quota for hearing your voice today," she replied dryly.

"SIRIUS! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!"

Xavier's voice boomed from upstairs before I could start an argument with her. I quickly headed upstairs to see what the fuss was about.

I almost choked on my own spit as I see Joshua practically lying on top of Xavier. Despite being twice the size, Xavier looked rather helpless under him.

"If you are into being watched while you two fuck, you picked the wrong audience. I am not into it," I remarked.

"Fuck you. Get him off of me," Xavier snapped.

"No daddy...don't leave me," Joshua sounded drunk.

I looked behind as I heard Denver giggle behind me. She was smiling brightly, making her five times more beautiful than she already was.

"You are strong enough to get him off by himself. What the fuck happened anyway?" I asked.

"I don't want to force him off. What if he gets hurt? He looks fragile," he said. Since when did Xavier care who he hurt? I wondered. "I gave him two of these pills, and now he has been acting like he is in love with me," Xavier continued.

"You did what! Didn't you hear the nurse when she said she had already given him some?" Denver's eyes turned big.

"Shit..." Xavier cursed.

"You are responsible if he overdoses Xodiac!" Denver declared.

Xavier pushed Joshua aside immediately and stood up. "Listen here, New York..."

"Alright, alright, let's not panic. Xavier, how about you take Joshua to the bathroom and make him throw up?" I suggested.

"Yes, great idea," Denver shook her head in agreement. Wow, we are finally on the same page about something!

"Why me?" Xavier whined.

"Because it's your fault, meathead! Joshua would love for you to do it more anyways," Denver smirked.

"Yes, daddy, do me," Joshua mumbled.

I laughed out loud then immediately coughed to cover it up as Xavier glared at me.

"Fine. Let's go twerp," he flung Josh's arm over his shoulder and proceeded to drag him to the bathroom.

I looked at Denver, who kept checking her phone.

"Expecting to hear from someone?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Maybe. And it's none of your business," she snarled.

"Listen, I know we started on the wrong foot but isn't there any way I can stop you from hating me? I am really not a bad guy," I said quietly.

Her eyes softened a bit. "I don't hate you or anything. I dislike you," she said.

"Why don't we try and convert that to like?" I grinned.

"You haven't done a single thing to redeem yourself, so why should I?" she demanded to know.

I moved closer to her and grabbed her wrist. I expected her to snatch it away, but she hesitated. "Whenever I am near you, I feel like something needs to happen between us. Don't pretend like you don't feel the same," I said in a low voice.

"By that, if you mean we need to screw, then I am going to pass. For the hundredth time," she said. Her voice shook slightly. Am I making her nervous?

I raised my hand up and lightly touched her cheek. I was extra careful not to make any sudden movement to scare her off. It was as if I was on a hunt, and she was my prey. I softly grazed her cheek and touched her lower lip with my thumb. She didn't move and kept staring into my eyes as if she was in a trance. Here was my chance to kiss her again, I thought. She wouldn't push me away this time. I just knew it. I leaned down to kiss her lips.

"What are you two doing?" Xavier's voice broke the spell.

She jolted away from me and stepped backward. Fucking Xavier ruined my moment, I thought bitterly.

"Nothing!" Denver cried.

"Well, I am glad you guys are having a romantic moment while I get to stick my fingers down Pony boy's throat. That was the most disgusting thing I've ever done, by the way," Xavier winced. He was still holding on to Joshua, who was on the verge of passing out again.

He dragged him to the bed and laid him down.

"Tuck me in, Wolfdaddy," Joshua said. His eyes were half-closed.

"Fuck that. He is your responsibility now, New York. We are leaving," Xavier said and strode towards the door.

"Fine by me. Bye guys, let's not do this again," Denver waved goodbye.

I stared at her intently for a moment and followed Xavier out. 

Hi y'all.

Thank you for reading.

Oh-Oh there was a moment there between Denver and Sirius, eh? And Josh and X are hilarious together. Maybe they'll one day see eye to eye.

If you like it then pop a vote and maybe leave comments. I'd love to know what you think.

Give me a follow too for updates. I'd appreciate that.
