The Argument ST

"Tine, I've come to bargain! May I please come inside to negotiate!?" Sarawat stood outside the apartment with Tine's favorite Blue Hawaii while the rain continued falling around him. It was 1 A.M. but he didn't care if he woke up the neighbors. He had messed up and now he needed to fix it.

Only….even Blue Hawaii have their limits…apparently.

"Go away Ai'Wat!" Tine shouted from the open window.

"I have a Blue Hawaii!" Sarawat shouted back, feeling like he was trying to bribe a child….only the "child" wasn't going for it.

"I said go away! I don't want to talk to you!" Tine replied his voice angry with the deadly aura surrounding him to speak for his anger. Sarawat gulped.

"Please Little Buffalo. I swear I can explain."

"I don't care!"

"Shut up you two! Some of us are trying to get some sleep!" Their neighbor Type shouted.

"All ya'll shut up. Tharn and Type, you've been going at it forever. Tine, just forgive him already!" Their other neighbor yelled. Type blushed deep red, which was visible thanks to the near by street light and slammed his window shut. Muffled grunts and yelling could still be heard from the apartment he shared with Tharn.

Sarawat kept his eyes on Tine but Tine was looking at Can like the man had grown a second head, until Sarawat shouted again.

"Come on Tine. It's cold."

"No!"

"Tine! Just let him in already!" Can pleaded.

"What's with all the racket?" Their other neighbor on the first floor, Ae, opened his door with a tired New holding a bat behind him. The raven glanced from Sarawat to Tine to Can before sighing. "Are you two arguing again?"

"No!" Tine and Sarawat shouted at the same time. It's not like they argued a lot, but when they did, it usually resulted in one of them yelling outside or causing some sort of commotion…Usually the ebony head.

"Tine is mad at flame head and won't let him in." Can explained, using a nickname for Sarawat that he had made up after Sarawat's hair caught on fire during a barbeque. The flames had made him look more like a demon than normal.

"Sarawat, you'll freeze out here. Come in here." Pete offered earning a glare from his lover.

"I think your apartment will be colder if I take you up on that offer." Sarawat replied.

"Just kiss and have make up sex already! And do it quietly!" The grumpy Ae shouted and slammed the door shut.

"Don't slam the doors!" Two women from the top floor both screamed at the same time. It was the couple, Pear and Melon. The two didn't even leave their bed. They didn't need to. Women have eyes and ears everywhere in case you didn't know.

Can shuddered and slammed his window closed deciding to give up.

"Don't slam the windows either, CANTALOUPE!" The girls yelled again.

Can shouted an apology as a shadow loomed over Sarawat outside. He turned around to see Dean looming over him handing him a chocolate bar.

"Why is you out here all alone? Did you get in a fight with Tine?" He asked innocently.

"We aren't fighting. He's leaving!" Tine shouted from the second floor again.

"You're leaving Wat?" Dean questioned confused.

"No. That does it!" Sarawat shouted and stomped up to the second floor. He kicked the door of his and Tine's apartment and it swung open easily. Tine's blank expression didn't change until Sarawat shoved the blue hawaii into his hand.

"Just drink it already!"

"Fine." Tine relented. "By the way, the door was unlocked. You're paying for the new door." He said flatly. "Oh. And you might not want to turn around.

Sarawat turned around. He really shouldn't have turned around. In the door way, Pear and Melon were glaring dagers at him. He took a few steps back as they began to approach him.

"You broke the door Sarawat!" Pear growled.

"Slamming doors is strictly forbidden here." Melon growled.

"And kicking doors down is extra strictly forbidden." Pear added.

"That sounded lame." Tine whispered but was ignored. The two females continued approaching Sarawat slowly and menacingly.

"Tine, help." Sarawat pleaded to his lover.

"Maybe next time you won't forget to put my wolf doll above the blanket not under." Tine replied with a hint of amusement.

Sarawat spun around shocked. Melon and Pear stopped in their advances and also looked at Tine with disbelieving expressions.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE MAD ABOUT!" They all screamed at once.

"Yes." Tine replied blankly. Sarawat slumped to the floor and facepalmed himself. Melon and Pear came to stand beside Sarawat and patted his shoulder.

"We're sorry you have to deal with…uh…you know….don't worry about the door okay. Melon said and Pear agreed. Tine sipped his blue hawaii as if all was well.
