Axel : welp angry boi again

'If I talk to him he'll just shut me down and tell me I'm "being too emotional" and shit like that. I don't wanna deal with that.' Axel muttered, placing his hand on top of Elliots, 'you look nice today.' Elliot smiled slightly and stood up walking down the steps and spinning so their dress swirled around them,
'Thank you! My dad got the dress tailored for me. From that store I like a lot, he's made friends with all of the staff there- they're really friendly.' the blond said and Axel smiled fondly at his friend.
'Uh, can we hang out in your house tonight? I don't want to hang out whilst my dad's in his home office.' Elliot nodded and climbed back up the steps and sat down,
'That's okay. We can do face masks and watch a movie, if you like?' Lio suggested and Axel nodded.

Axel remembered the blond telling him their mum would be away for the week on business work so it was just them and their dad, which he knew Lio didn't mind in the slightest. They sat down in the living room and Axel closed his eyes as the blond put a face mask over his face, smoothing the mask so it was flat before doing their own.
They watched a movie in comfortable silence. Axel looked over at Lio who was looking at him with a soft smile,
'What?'
'Nothing. I just wanted to look at you, dummy.' Axel smiled back at the blond and turned back to the TV for a moment, looking back to see the blond still looking at him, 'I miss hanging out like this. Before Cindy.'
'Yeah, I miss it too.' Axel mumbled before sighing, moving the pillows around himself and patting the gap next to him for the blond. Lio shuffled into the gap and rested their head on the brunette's shoulder, 'I want to fix things between us, Lio.'
'I know you do.' Elliot mumbled, looking up, glancing at the older teens lips for a second before looking back at the TV, 'I'd like to fix things too, but with Cindy- I don't want her to end up getting hurt from all of this. She doesn't deserve it. No one does.'
'Yeah. She doesn't deserve it. Fuck- I mean, I haven't seen her at all this summer. Last year we- I talked to her more.' Axel muttered remembering how sensitive the topic was whenever he talked about it with the blond,
'Yeah, I know.' Lio mumbled, 'her Instagram's has been crazy popular the past week, her posts are getting more likes than usual too.'
'She has an Instagram?' Axel asked and Elliot sat up in confusion, the brunette didn't know about the Instagram so he was even more confused than the blond looked,
'Uh- yeah? You're her boyfriend, how do you not know?'
'She never mentioned an Instagram and whenever I asked her about it she said she didn't wanna make one-' Elliot frowned slightly,
'She's had an instagram since twenty fourteen.'
'What? Lets see it.' Axel watched as Lio leant over to their jacket and pulled their phone out, unlocking it and opening the app, being greeted with cottage-core aesthetic posts from other people they followed. They typed in Cindy's instagram page and showed the brunette a post that had been recently posted, showing Cindy being kissed on the side of the face by one of Axels hockey teammates. Elliot moved their phone before Axel could lob it across the room in annoyance,
'Does she still not deserve it?' Axel muttered and Elliot stayed quiet, 'this is just fucking typical- not you. But they're always talking whenever we're training and she's watching, whenever I ask her what she's doing after classes or on the weekends she says she's hanging out with her friends and he's always with them.'
'I'm sorry, Axel.' Lio mumbled, 'I still don't think she deserves it. You should talk to her about this before you end up doing anything you might regret later.'
Axel knew Elliot was right. But he didn't want to deal with Cindy anymore that night so he pulled the blond closer to himself and turned back to the TV, watching in silence.
