Chapter 17: Angsty Teens

It was then the little blue boy came back to Rachel's room after a tiredly long day of sulking. Really he didn't know why he was so upset at his partner for teasing him like that; normally he would of shaken it off, but something about it just agitated him.

The little blue girl was curled up in her bed, reading a little book to save the time. The sound of the window caught her attention and she turned her head to see him, back here, but he had a frown and his eyebrows furrowed. Rachel lips tugged a smile and she put the book down and went to speak when he suddenly put his hand up, indicating he wanted her to keep quiet. He looked distressed... and Rachel knew what he was so mad about. It was sort of pathetic to her, in a way, though she did not want to dismiss his feelings. Even if he did not want her to speak right now, she did anyway.

"...Are you upset at me...?" she asked him softly.

Her voice was like music to his ears; the gentle coo and the fretful look on her face just made his heart ache.  He hated getting upset at her but his feelings will not go unannounced!

"You..." Ira didn't know hot to start this conversation at all. It was rare that they'd ever had to converse in this way, and he'd rather them not have to. He'd rather he keep his feelings to himself so they won't have to have these types of conversations. 

"Talk to me, Ira..." she motioned him to join her on her bed. He hesitated before climbing on and laying near the far end. Rachel moved closer to him, to feel his warmth, to console him. Whatever was on his mind, he had better say it! "...I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. It was all lighthearted and such... I didn't realize it would hurt you..." He didn't look at her- he didn't want to.  Just seeing her look and feel guilty just made him feel all the same. What is the point of getting upset at what she had said to him? It was so stupid! She doesn't have to apologize! She hadn't done anything wrong... just him being the sensitive boy he is.

"No... no, don't apologize... it-I was just being sensitive... that's all..." he told her, looking down at the bed.

"Hey, you're allowed to be sensitive! If I did something wrong, then tell me! Communication..."

"Yeah, yeah, communication..." He turned away, not that he was even looking at her. "Stupid communication..."

Rachel just sighed, her hand traveling its way to his, where he moved it away after a few seconds. She was a bit shocked at this,  but seeing his body language, it doesn't look like he wanted to be touched, but Rachel somehow didn't get it.

"Hey, come on! I'm just trying to solve this problem you have-" she bristled.

That seemed to rile him up a bit. "I don't want to be touched just- leave it! I don't wanna talk about it!"

"NO, you're going to tell me what's wrong! I'm not doing this with you- You know I don't like it when you hide things from me!"

He turned to face her, his face covered in red. His cheeks all puffed up and his breathing was ragged. "I SAID I don't want to TALK.ABOUT.IT, so just drop it, Rachel!" Rachel was more shocked at his reaction driving the same energy, but then she started getting upset too. "Ira, you stubborn little- just freaking tell me what the hell is up?! Why won't you tell me..?"

"I'm done talking to you, so drop it, Rachel." He replied, his tone going icy cold.

Rachel just stared at him, stunned. What was he even so upset for, anyway? It was kinda stupid, not going to lie, but she didn't want them not talking it over! Isn't that what they're suppose to do?

Rachel huffed and told him to "man up", them leaped off the bed and stormed out and slamming the door on the way out. This caused Ira to jump. Rachel wasn't one to get all angry, and even though Ira is stubborn and not big on expressing his negative emotions, it wouldn't help just to tell her so she can fix it! Now they're just mad at each other...

'Jeez, he's so... UGH!! I just wanna shake him so he'll tell me what his problem is!!' Rachel though, stomping down the steps and into the living room. She was about to take a trip to her best friend's home when she realized it was pretty dark outside and her mom didn't allow her to go outside after dark. Rachel decided to sit on her couch and blow off the steam she was getting. Though she couldn't help but switch back to him every few seconds, which only made her sad and more guilty for kind of blowing up on him like that. He didn't really deserve that...

Though he seemed like he wanted to be left alone, but gave off the vibes of wanting to be there with her. Ira was a strange little boy, and even after their 6 months of dating, she still couldn't figure him out.

"....Maybe I was too...harsh.."

She frowned, staring down at her feet. Maybe she should apologize again-No, he... he doesn't wanna listen to her. What good will it be to apologize again? He'll just try to tell her to leave it again.
