"Softening me?"
"What am I, a piece of toast?" Xavier growled.
"Adrian, you know damn well she is not softening me."
'Say whatever you want, Xay, your words and your actions are pointing towards different things entirely,' Adrian thought to himself, unable to stop himself from chuckling.
"What about this do you find funny?" Xavier demanded.
"Nothing," Adrian blatantly lied to his friend.
Xavier frowned, displeased by Adrian's preposterous accusations.
Him? Softening up to her?
What was this, some sort of romance movie?
He sighed, knowing there was nothing else to do but admit the truth.
Sure, Xavier could be cold, but he wasn't a liar.
"She was crying."
"What else was I supposed to do?" Xavier asked.
"What would you have done if you were in that situation?"
"Not give in to whatever her wishes were and leave her crying?"
"Do you forget that…"
