In Denial

Learning The Difference

Remember when I said this bastard is everywhere? I meant it.

I decided I needed the assistance of the library for a project and low and behold pretty boy was around and also decided he needed the library and sat in front of me.

He wasn't really paying me any mind oddly enough. He had this look of hyper fixation as he typed away at his laptop that it was almost comical. Not even Kouga passing through moved the mountain he became.

Except for Bankotsu.

I had met him as a freshman. He was really good-looking and wasn't a bad lay but once he got comfortable with you, he was really corny. And for the first time in 2hr, Inuyasha's eye diverted to the other man walking up to me. Like the second he was in his peripherals. His head didn't move, but his eyes zoned in on him and his fingers stopped typing as well. It was uncanny.

" Hey, babe." He says, leaning on my chair with a cocky smirk..

"Heeeyyyy Bankotsu, I haven't seen you in a while," I say, giving him a nervous smile.

" True, true, we haven't seen each other in a while. Should fix that."

And then he turned to Inuyasha. If looks could kill I think Bankotsu would either combust in flames or have his bones painstakingly crushed to dust just from the look Inuyasha was giving him.

What made it worse was that Bankotsu returned it in kind.

"Loser," Bankotsu sneered.

" Cunt," Inuyasha retorted.

"Fuck face."

"Piss head."

"Okay, lets- let's not make a scene, guys. I'd like to not get kicked out or worse."

The tension between them simmered but was still present. Everyone in the surrounding area could feel it too with how they had turned their attention to our table. Even Kouga looked like he was getting ready to either stop a fight or join in.

I wasn't sure if this would work but I had to get their attention off each other. I put my foot in Inuyasha's lap and wrapped my hands around Bankotsu's bicep. That had managed to work somehow as Bankotsu flexed the muscle under my hand as he turned back to me and I felt Inuyasha's thumb rubbing the balls of my foot. Thank God.

" Uhhh I think I lost your number. Do you mind giving it to me again?"

I didn't lose his number.

"Of course you can, babe." He took the pen from my hand and wrote it on one of the blank sheets I had on the table.

"Don't be a stranger now." Finally, he leaves, not without giving me a wink and throwing a smirk at Inuyasha. Kouga sneered back at him when he passed him as well. Once he was fully backing us, Inuyasha reached over, snatched the paper up and immediately tore it into tiny pieces.

What the fuck was that? That was wild. They looked like they were gonna actually kill each other. It seemed the other man had history with these two.

" How about we leave? We've been at it for a while now?" I say trying to sound convincing. Mainly because Bankotsu looked like he was gonna settle in so leaving would be a good idea.

"What the fuck was that?" I asked when we got to the quiet shaded side of the building. Inuyasha still had a dark look on his face.

"He's a fucking asshole, gave me and my friends a hard time when I moved cities." That was all the information he gave me. It was jarring seeing him so livid. I don't think I've ever seen him like this. His jaw clenched, his gaze still hot with a simmering rage.
