"You Always Said You Liked Catching Fire."

A soft humming sound continuously escaped Rosalie's mouth as her fingers played with Fangs'. She was comforting him in away no one knew, no one except Rosalie herself and Fangs.

While the actions were comforting and innocent, not everyone thought that way. Sweet Pea's jaw was clenched as he watched his girlfriend continue to play with his brother's hand.

Sweet Pea wasn't the only one who felt 'strange' with Fangs and Rosalie's interaction. Leon's eyes remained on the pair as Rosalie ran her finger along the back of Fangs' hand.

"Since when do you two hold hands?"

Fangs and Rosalie both looked up at Leon, the disgust clear on his face. "It's called comfort. Fangs has been stressed and I'm comforting him" Rosalie answered.

Leon snorted. "Doesn't look like that, it looks more-" "Dude" Oscar interrupted him. "Feel free to take offence to what I'm about to say, shut up. He's been a mess lately, she's helping him, allowing him to fidget with her hands."

"It looks-" Oscar stood up annoyed. "Fuck sake, Walker! It's none of your business what they do. She told you she's comforting him. She's allowed to hold someone's hands."

Oscar grabbed hold of Sweet Pea's hand, confusing the slightly taller Serpent.

"Are you gonna say something about me and Sweets? We're holding hands, does that mean we're doing something inappropriate? Does that mean were gonna go behind an alley and fuck?" Leon was about to reply, though Oscar continued talking. "No, of course it doesn't, so shut the fuck up!"

Oscar removed his hands from Sweet Pea, grabbing his phone and texting someone.

Fangs looked at Rosalie, slowly removing his hand from hers. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Once Fangs was out of sight Rosalie glanced up at her boyfriend, who seemed to be annoyed. Perhaps Leon was right, perhaps it did seem like her and Fangs were being inappropriate.

"Sweets?" The Tall Serpent hummed as he looked at his girlfriend. "Follow me."

The two got up and made their way to kitchen, Oscar and Leon watching as they left. "Do you think she's cheating on him with Fangs?" Leon asked.

Oscar's face scrunched up in disgust as he looked at the boy. "Are you taking the piss? They love each other. Rose is your best friend, yet you think she'll cheat on Sweets, with Fangs of all-"

A bitter laugh escaped Oscar's mouth as he looked at the Northside boy. He finally realised why Leon was acting bitter. "You're jealous! You're actually jealous!"

"What- I'm not jealous" Leon replied offended. Oscar let out a chuckle as he shook his head. "You broke up with Fangs, yet get jealous when he holds another person's hand. You're despicable."

"That's a big word for you, do you even know what it means" Leon snapped at the boy, who smirked. "Don't get snappy at me just because you messed up."

While they were talking, Rosalie and Sweet Pea were having their own conversation.

"What the hell's going on with Fangs? Why won't he tell me?" Sweet Pea asked. Rosalie shook her head. "I'm sorry, Sweets, I can't tell you, but it's bad, it's real bad."
