(point out errors y'all. I was lazy to read through. I did but not like how I normally do. I apologize for the cringness.)
"A week without touch? We might as well take a vow of celibacy." Xander commented jokingly as they sat staring at nothingness.
"Doesn't seem like a bad idea. You'd stop fucking Xavier and include us too." Aaron added arrogantly without looking at the male.
"For a guy who jerks off on a daily, you're quiet the jokester." Xander added. The two males had been on each other throats since the switch. They had to go days without trying to kill each other because each time Aaron looked at Xander, he thought of how frustrating it was to wait on someone who didn't want to be waited for. He had chosen him first, and all of the sudden Xavier had become his favorite? He couldn't care to yield the jealously bubbling on the inside, he could account for it.
"Beats losing to you. at least I don't walk around naked trying to seduce the other." Aaron jabbed back dryly.
"Is this some sort of competition? I don't view it as one. I'm trying to get you to trust me again. I know I fucked up." Xander expressed.
"Good. At least you aren't the dumb kind of asshole." Aaron snapped back rolling his eyes. Xander did notice the sudden attitude and whatever other filtered emotion the man felt. He couldn't grasp where all the bottled up feelings where coming from.
He apologized everyday. Did everything Aaron asked. Checked on him on a daily. Didn't even force him to do things he wasn't interested in. He treated the man like the king he was. To Xander it seemed there was much more than the man pointed out as the fault and he was going to find it out no matter the circumstances. Even if he had to dig harder into the man.
"Alright. What's actually the problem? I don't think this is still about me ditching you guys," Xander began and when Aaron shot him a glare he backtracked. "Which I'm not so proud of. You guys didn't deserve to be treated like that. Me and Xavier where rather selfish." Xander added. His face burning.
"It's nothing. I just haven't forgiven you yet." Aaron said drawing his gaze away from the television. His voice low.
"Aaron.You really are actually bad at lying. You get anxious when you do. Hence the shaking of your leg." Xander said as his eyes landed on Aaron's leg which he had stopped moving. He drew them back to the man's eyes.
"You chose me first. And slept with Xavier just once and now all you want is him? I hate to ask what it is he has that I don't, but please humor me." Aaron uttered his arms crossing over his chest.
Oh.
"I can't do that." Xander spoke hurriedly.
"So you can't simply state what it is you like about all of us?" Aaron asked shooting him a look.
"You're asking me to state what makes me want him more, which I can't do. Which if I were to be honest isn't there to begin with. Yes, I got a little obsessed with him that I might admit. But all of you are unique in your own way. With different personalities which I don't mind having to deal with Aaron." Xander spoke his voice softening when he watched Aaron sink into the couch.
"Doesn't change how you and him forgot about me and Ian. you left us here. You didn't include us in any of your plans, who does that to the people they love?" Aaron voice cracked and Xander was by his side in a matter of seconds. If the man didn't want to be touched by him, he would push him off. But when the man sank into his side, his head on his chest, he knew Aaron's ice was melting.
"I haven't forgiven you. I just need you." Aaron said his voice cracking more in the process.
Xander let out a chuckle. "you can go back to hating me after you stop crying." He said landing a kiss on the man's head. Sweet scent of shampoo invading his nostrils. "I always forget how much of a drug your hair is, turns me on." Xander added but a slap landed on his pec causing him to break into more fits of laughter.
