3rd Person POV

Hels knocks on the bedroom door.

"EX? Please let me in, you know I didn't mean it."

"I told you to go away!"

"I'm not going to go away."

The door is flung open, a tear stricken EX standing there. Hels reaches out, resulting in his hand getting slapped away.

"I dont care what you want. I don't care if you apologized, I don't forgive you. You broke the one promise you said you'd never break."

"EX-"

"You hit me, Helsknight! Y-you hit me..."

"I didn't mean to..."

"How can you say that? The fact that the thought even passed through your head is bad enough. But the fact that you acted on it, the fact that you raised a hand to me....Xisuma didn't even want me coming back here."

"EX, please..."

"No. I don't care what you have to say and now you won't even have to worry about me."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving." He turns from the door, grabbing his bag off the bed.

"Leaving? Where are you going?"

"Xisuma has offered me a room in his base."

He walks out of the room, Hels grabbing his hand before he can get far.

"For how long?"

"As long as I want." He rips his hand out of the tallers grasp, "He said I could stay the whole season if I needed to."

"Surely we can talk about this, I was just mad, I shouldn't have hit you, I know that. Exey, please, I feel horrible. I haven't been able to sleep, let alone eat, I messed up, I know that. Just stay, and we can work this out."

"No, Helsknight. You promised, you said you loved me, that you would never, ever hit me, and you did. And the thing that hurt the most was you breaking your promise. The slap didn't hurt. You breaking your promise did. You left a mark, Helsknight....I want to forgive you and trust it won't happen again, but I can't. I don't think I can trust anything you say anymore..."

"Exey, don't do this...we're partners in crime, remember? We're in this together, w-we have each other."

EX shakes his head, turning away from Hels.

"Goodbye, Helsknight."

Hels watches as EX walks out of the house, tears welling up his eyes. His best friend, his boyfriend, just walked out on him. He made a mistake, a dumb stupid mistake. He had to make it up to EX, had to, he'd do anything to make things right. And he knew of one hermit that would help him.

EX sits on Xisuma's couch, hugging his knees to his chest. The house was quiet without his twin home, giving him too much time to think. He left, he left Hels alone. He should go back, he should stay here. He messed up, Hels messed up. He should've listened to Hels, he should've left earlier that day when Hels wasn't home. Hels would forgive him, Hels hates him.

A small sniff breaks the quiet, tears slowly roll down his face. He yanks his helmet off, throwing it out of anger across the room. EX buries his face in his knees, body shaking as quietly cries. Hot tears meeting the cool metal of his armor. He was hot and cold, full of shame and void of emotion all at once. In the end this was his fault, his doing. He knew, saw, that Hels had a rough day, but he couldn't just leave it alone. He just had to push the brunette, just had to figure out what had happened.
