Description
~Nox's POV~
Sezee sat across from me at our group's usual table in the coffeehouse.
"Hey there, sexy." he smirked at me. I smiled back and gave him my flirty eyes.
"Why, hello, mysterious stranger."
"Mm... Roleplay. I like it." Nix slid in next to him and snapped his fingers. Sezee jumped. "There's a fire in my pants!" he shouted. The few people in the restaraunt stopped what they were doing and looked at him as he gripped the tabletop, looking strained.
"Yeah, how do you like two hundred degrees farenhieght, pervert?" Nix said, looking at him. I tensed as I felt something crawl over my foot and glanced under the table, seeing a water snake crawling up Sezee's leg and into his shorts. He instantly released the table and a sigh of relief let itself free from his mouth. Nix frowned. "Who did what?"
"It was all Louis." I said quickly.
"Dude!" the boy looked at me incredulously. Sezee groaned and fell over the table.
"It hurts..." I gave him a sympathetic look and petted his hair, tapping into his mind and cutting off his pain sensory. He relaxed. "Thank you, Noxy..."
"No problem, Sezee." our favorite waitress came to our table.
"You misfits are here again?" a girl in her early twenties with blonde hair in a ponytail asked, a joking smile on her face. Louis smiled at her.
"Yup! We just can't stand to be away from you." a spark of jealousy came from Nix, but he smiled at the woman also.
"Yeah, Crystal, you're our favorite after all!" 'Go jerk off your boss already...' I burst out laughing and put my head on the table. I could sense Crystal's eyes on Sezee and I, both of us now using the table as a pillow.
"And how is the happy couple?" I sat up and wiped my eyes.
"Better than ever." I pulled Sezee's head up and kissed him deeply. "Isn't that right, Sez?" he smirked and pulled me to his lips.
"Totally, Noxy." the girl gave a toothy grin.
"Right. Okay, the usual?" Louis nodded with another smile.
"You know it!" Nix smiled, though more strained, and nodded in agreement. I heard his desperate pleas for Louis to smile at him like that and sighed.
"My poor brother..." I mumbled lightly to Sezee. "So in love with a boy he'll never have." he tutted and shook his head.
"A darn shame..." I nodded and nuzzled up to him. The waitress walked away.
'LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!!!!' I jumped at the screaming thought from my twin. Looking around Sezee, I saw Nix putting his earbuds in and Louis spacing off. Nix started tapping out a rythym that I recognized as a heavy metal song he listened to when he was completely pissed.
"Babe, switch spots with me." I said softly.
"What? Why?"
"Because I need to talk to Nixy." I looked at Louis quickly, who was still off in his own world. Sez followed my eyes and nodded. He sat me on his lap and moved over before putting me in his old place. I rested a hand on my brother's knee. I could hear the music playing from this close. 'Your music is too loud.'
'You're too gay.'
'Don't take your jealousy out on me.'
'Fuck you.'
'Why not just look in the mirror? You'd get the same effect...'
'Shut up.'
'Make me.' suddenly, his knee turned flaming hot and I jerked my hand back, holding it by the wrist and clenching my teeth. The skin was blistered and bleeding in a few spots. "Ow, ow, ow..."
"Oh, shit, Noxy!" Sezee exclaimed, taking my hand. I tensed.
"Don't touch it!" I felt Nix move and he was soon over my shoulder, his music gone.
"Oh my god, Nox, I'm so sorry! I totally forgot you aren't protected like the rest of us!"
"Just shut up!" I snapped, tears now falling down my cheeks in pain.
"Louis, move." Sezee commanded before pulling me out. He led me out the door and a hand grabbed my shoulder.
"Nox, please!" my twin begged.
"Just leave me alone, Nix!" I snapped before following Sezee away.
"So, you'll be fine. Just change the wrap and make sure to do it slowly. We don't need you to pull off any skin." I nodded at the things the doctor was telling me and Sezee was writing a few things down so I wouldn't forget later. "Regular pain killers should be fine. If that doesn't work, just contact me and I can get you a prescription for some stronger stuff." I nodded again. "Okay, so that's all. You're free to go." I nodded for the billionth time and jumped off the hospital table-bed-thing.
"Thank you, doctor."
"Anytime, Mr.Zepher." Sezee nodded to the doctor and took my right hand as we walked out of his office. I sighed as we got onto the street and laced our fingers together.
"I can't believe Nix burned me..." I mumbled. Sezee sighed and ran his other hand through his hair.
"I know... You guys are always so happy around each other..." I thought about the events leading up to my burn and my eyes widened.
"It's Louis's fault." my boyfriend looked at me.
"What? No, Louis wouldn't cause anyone trouble... Intentionally..." he added, now frowning. "Anyway, explain."
"Nix is getting fed up. He's 'teased' Louis three times already. He's sick of being rejected every single time then having to cover up his sadness with a joke." Sezee blinked a few times.
"You know, I actually see logic in that." I smirked.
"Holy crap, it can see logic."
"Oh, fuck you."
"I would love to... But we're kinda in an open space right now." he smiled.
"Then maybe we should get to a closed space." I nodded and we hurried off.

"Ow, Sezee..."
"Ah, I'm s-sorry..."
"No, it's fine... Ahhh... Yeah..."
"You like that?"
"You know it, baby..."
"Ohh, I'm gonna-"
"Me too... Ah!"
"Nng!" Sezee and I collapsed on my bed, panting heavily. I curled up to him. My burned hand was throbbing from all the times I forgot and tried to support myself. "... That was good for a disabled person..."
"Oh, forget you..." I mumbled. Sezee snickered and ran his hand through my hair. "... Sez?"
"Yeah?"
"Who am I?"
"You're Nox Zepher, eighteen years old, senior in high school, bisexual, and you have the hottest boyfriend in the world." I smiled softly and patted his chest.
"Good boy. You passed." he let out a breath in a sigh-ish sound.
"I don't see how you think I could mistake you for Nix... He hates me."
"It'll happen one day..." I shut my eyes and let out a quiet yawn.
"Whatever you say... Hey, I'm staying tonight."
"Fine with me... Goodnight..."
"Night."
