My Mistakes Started With You

Mistake number 10

"Stop it! You're drawing attention,"

"Your squirming is the one drawing attention."

The annoying part wasn't that the older of the two had an attentively secure tight hold at his sides. All the while making him unevenly comfortable with how close Xigbar was keeping them as they made their way through a sea of people. 'I know it's a festival but there's just too many people' Xeha knew for a fact that he wasn't a crowd person. Nonetheless, was he used to going to festivals like this. They just got there and the sun high and mercilessly basking them in its afternoon light. To put it simply, it was hot and his sweat made him feel disgustingly sticky. Furthermore, Xigbar was being ridiculously touchy and attaching him by the hip.

"I'm hot and it's getting uncomfortable." He said, grimacing as he felt the beads of sweat flowing down his back and he just knew how visible they were on his face too. "Of course you are babe. Look who you're with." The gleeful smug on his face built up the urge in Xeha to instantly punch him square in the face for being ridiculously obnoxious. With the heat radiating off both their bodies and how close the guy was pressing them together, Xeha caught the arm that had wrapped itself from the sides of his waist and pulled away. "I'm not going to enjoy this date if I'm all sweaty." He said, just before his hand was occupied by larger one's grip.

"I don't mind sweat and I don't think it's gonna ruin our date." He said as he dragged his date from the front, back facing the silver haired boy.

Xeha promised that he was going to clobber him from behind when he thought of the smug look Xigbar probably had. Stopping the thought was when he had caught the clash of dusted pink at the senior's ear from behind. 'What's up with him?'

"I wouldn't want you to get lost in the crowd, so we should stick together."

Tired of arguing -since it took more energy than Xeha would care to waste- he just followed Xigbar until they stopped in front of a stall filled with various hats hanging at every side. Xigbar released his hold and talked to the stall owner.

Behind him, Xeha waited as his 'date' continued to chat with the girl who had apparently giggled at something he said. It was unclear but Xeha barely cared what it was about. 'This guy's too social.' He thought, reminding himself of a certain raven that wasn't less of a social butterfly himself. 'Should I really be here? Era did say-' his train of thoughts halted when a milk-coloured bonnie was placed on his head. "Hey!" His eyes glared up.

"Happy?" He himself had apparently bought himself a red cap as well. "What gives?" Well you were complaining that it was hot- Xigbar for once had an annoyed expression instead of smug one but that was soon changed when he tied the nought of his date's hat. "Hat girl said you'd look cute with a bonnie -she wasn't wrong-" he failed at mumbling out the last part that Xeha heard clearly. Making Xeha's eyes closed shut and turn away to a side in order to conceal his flustered reaction. "Do you ever-" just as he was about to express his annoyance, Xigbar continued speaking.

"She also asked if you were my boyfriend." This made Xeha shoot his eyes open to look at the taller male. A surprised look as his eyes slightly widened and his brows knitted together. "And what did you say?" His voice didn't hide his curious tone. 'What's this guy up to?'

The sly smug was back and plastered on his date's face. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He returned his hold onto his hand and turned to walk forward along the path of the festival. "I wonder why I tolerate you?". "You're smart, figure it out yourself." This was going to be a long day.

"Which one do you want?"

Xigbar playfully aimed the toy sniper at one of the targets. Being reluctant, Xeha crossed his arms and averted the sight of his Xigbar's stupid attempt to win a prize. To him it was probably a waste of money. 'I you want it that much, why not just buy it?' Yet his words halted when the other teen insisted that he'd win one for him. "Do what you want Xig." He could careless. Though, he felt a bit guilty for his own poor attitude. He was never this stubborn when it came to anybody else. 'Though, there wasn't really anybody else other than Era, was there.'
