Blue's Rebel (MXM)

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Rouge is at a loss.

In all his years living on this planet, he has never been placed in such an awkward and confusing situation.

Ryzel was staring at Rouge with a stoic expression while Blue was close to snarling at his twin, almost baring his teeth as if he was an alpha whose territory has been crossed.

Ten minutes of awkward silence and a tensed atmosphere passed before Ryzel opened his mouth. "Rouge, what a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?"

Rouge blinked and cleared his throat, then offered a small smile. "Well, I want to see how you were doing, and also, I want to know how my feral twin," he motioned towards Blue who was now nuzzling on Ryzel's neck, making Rouge roll his eyes. "Since he's doing more than fine, how are you, Ryzel? How was the operation? Blue was bawling when he called so..."

"I was not," Blue gritted out, throwing a sharp glare at Rouge who's smirking at Blue's panicked expression.

Ryzel grinned and glanced at his boyfriend. "Really? Were you crying for me, Asúl?" Ryzel teased, and when Blue pouted his lips, Ryzel kissed those protruding lips, earning a wide smile from Blue.

"Fuckin' whipped," Rouge whispered with a shake of his head, soft enough to be ignored, with Blue asking Ryzel for more kisses in the background. Rouge grimaced; he's not used to seeing his brother being so affectionate towards another person. Blue is calm, rational and disciplined. This is the first time that Rouge saw his twin being expressive with his feelings.

When Ryzel was done spoiling Blue, he patted Blue on his nape. "Can you leave me alone with Rouge?"

"What? No fucking way!" Although Rouge already assured Blue that he supports Blue and Ryzel, Blue does not want to risk it. Ryzel just got out of an operation and there is no way he'll let anyone stress his baby. Blue may have allowed Ryzel to do whatever he wants, but this time, he will put his foot down.

Blue will not yield. Ryzel's safety is important. He will not--

Ryzel leaned in for a whisper. "Once I'm cleared, I'll wear that thing you bought for me," Ryzel promised, his voice soft and seductive, kissing Blue on the cheeks. "We planned to have a weekend getaway, right?"

Blue froze then nodded furiously, eyes blown wide and jaws on the floor. Blue's imagination suddenly became active, imagining Ryzel in black, skimpy outfit. He blinked rapidly, swallowed hard, and turned to Rouge with a soft glare, but nevertheless, went out with a huff.

Ryzel inhaled deeply and offered Rouge an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that; he can be childish sometimes."

Rouge scoffed. "Cut the modesty; he's childish alright, but he reached his peak when he met you. I should be the one saying sorry," Rouge sighed with a shake of his head, still at a loss at his twin's 180° personality reversal. Rouge remembered those times when Blue called him, confused about his feelings for Ryzel.

Ryzel smiled, fiddled with his fingers nervously, and blew a loud breath. It's now or never. Rouge frowned slightly when he noticed Ryzel's discomfort, and was about to call Blue when Ryzel spoke.

"I'm sorry, Rouge."

Rouge parted his mouth, baffled by Ryzel's apology. "Why- what? Why are you apologizing?" Internally, Rouge was panicking. He does not know why Ryzel apologized to him.

Ryzel swallowed. "I don't know how to do this. There's so many thoughts swimming in my mind and I tried to filter them but - shit, I'm rambling. This is not how I imagined this," Ryzel groaned and rubbed his face in frustration.
