Mairi Prompts

"Say sorry.." "Bite me."

Today was a bad day. He couldn't focus, people were being annoying—okay, no, they weren't being annoying—it's just today made it seem like they were being annoying. He event got a fucking C- on his test. One he studied for, and, well, maybe, he was taking his anger out on his friends. He genuinely wasn't trying to but he was fed up. He wanted to go home. He wanted to leave school but he had two more hours left and it grated on his nerves.

Mattia tried to reign in his anger because he knew he tended to say things that were harsh. He didn't want to have beef with anyone. He knew he would if he allowed himself to open his mouth.

"Mattia, pay attention!"  A sharp voice snapped.

Mattia's eyes flickered to the teacher. Heat slowly poured into his cheeks as he saw teens stare at him, unabashedly, some even going far enough to smirk or point. The teenager nodded, finding it hard to get the words out of his throat, he kept his gaze on his sheet of paper that had anything barely written on. Slowly, Mattia sunk into his chair trying to make himself invisible.

Yeah, today fucking sucked.

Kairi watched as the clock ticked on. He was in his last class of the day and he wanted to leave. It was tense all day because of Mattia. Kairi noticed. He saw it by the way Mattia clenched his jaw, he noticed it by the way Mattia leaned back, how his response was curt and how he was tense. Even to him. Normally, when Mattia was angry he was hostile towards everyone  except him. Mattia always kept his tone even when speaking to Kairi as if trying to snuff his attitude and Kairi always appreciated it. Yet, today, he snapped at Kairi. He had an attitude with him. With him. With him.

It infuriated the older teen. The audacity Mattia had to have—what Kairi wasn't expressing was how he was genuinely worried about the teen; what happened? Why was Mattia so angry?

Kairi's head jerked up at the sound of the bell. He had zoned out all of class worrying about a dick who was probably going to chew his head off.

As if Kairi would let him get away with it.

The teen let out a sigh as he gathered his stuff and exited the classroom, as he walked down the hallways he met up with Alejandro and Robert.
Kairi spent a few minutes talking with them before he saw a familiar figure walking down the hallway.

"Mattia!" Robert called out, a small smile on his lips.

Kairi and Alejandro winced in sympathy as they saw the glare he gave Robert.

"What, rebound?" The teen growled. Venom lacing his words instead of his usual playfulness.

Robert let out a confused noise.

"The hell's got your panties in a twist?" Robert snarked.

That was the fuse that lit the fire. Mattia's hazel eyes filled with anger as he straightened to his full height. His grip on his backpack straps were too tight if by the way they turned white was an indicator.

Kairi's eyes snapped to Mattia's and he held the Italian's gaze.

"What?" He growled. Mattia sized the other boy up and the older one didn't back down.

"You're acting like a brat, Mattia." Kairi reiterated.

"Okay? Last time I checked, I didn't fucking ask, Kairi."

"Mattia." 

It was a warning.

"Kairi."

It went ignored.

The duo held each other's gaze. Kairi raised one of his eyebrows as if daring Mattia to say something else and Mattia felt fire burn inside him.

Who does Kairi even think he is? Yeah, sure, they were best friends but Kairi doesn't get to be his fucking handler.

Mattia felt himself glare at the other boy. He shifted his weight from one foot the other. He was ready to combust he could feel it. The anger was swirling in his chest, he could feel the heat in his hands, the mental strain was about to snap from how he was refraining from lashing out.

Mattia let out a frustrated groan instead and began to walk past his friends. As he passed Kairi he intentionally shouldered the boy out of his way. Anger being the only thing piloting him.

So, to say he was surprised when he felt a hand grab his forearm and spin him around was an understatement.

He jerked away from the touch on instinct but didn't get far as he was pulled closer. Kairi held Mattia's gaze. Their faces barely centimeter apart. Their chests grazing each other. The older boy not backing down as he bore holes into Mattia. A annoyed look was on the oldest is face.

"I don't like the fucking attitude, Mattia. I get it you're mad. I understand but you should know better than to give me attitude. Especially, all day," Kairi growled, "now, you should say sorry to the group."

Mattia snarled. "Bite me."

How dare Kairi tell him what to do—his thought process didn't get far—Kairi's grip on his forearm got tighter.

"Behave."

It was barely audible as Kairi said it under his breath.

The look Kairi gave him sent a shiver down his spine, the tone didn't help either, it was devoid of any anger. If anything, it was cold, serious, something Kairi rarely portrayed often and suddenly Mattia felt small.

It was ironic considering he was taller than Kairi.

Mattia felt himself shrink back. Something tugged at his emotions and the anger faded. He cleared his throat and looked away from the older boy's face. A hot flash of embarrassment went through him as he realized Kairi was reprimanding him.

"Go fuck yourself, dude." He mumbled.

Kairi couldn't help but smirk as he saw the blush rising to the younger boys face.

"Only if you join me," Kairi winked, then glanced at the duo they left behind, "alright, guys! We're in the all clear of Mattia's hormonal rage."

Alejandro and Robert visibly relaxed. They had been tense during the whole interaction, they were afraid the duo would actually get into an altercation, Mattia realized. He shuffled his feet and let out a breath.

"I'm sorry I've been a dick, guys. Today just sucked ass." Mattia uttered.

Thankfully, his friends brushed it off.

Yet, this did nothing to clear his conscious as he replayed the moment in his head. He couldn't understand why he immediately backed down. Something about Kairi had him wanting to listen. It was the annoyed look. The way Kairi seemed to just scream; obey me.

What the hell just happened?
