Shutting his phone, Bill let out a loud sigh and rubbed his temples. After the fight with his brother he really wasn't in the mood to be around anyone. At the same time, he was excited to be seeing Ryuu, despite the rumors that had been going around. He really just wanted to clear things up. However, he somewhat wished that they were meeting somewhere.. less public.
After procrastinating for a moment, he walked over to the door to grab his jacket, looking at himself in the mirror. With no makeup and his hair down, he knew he looked like crap but at this point, he was too tired to really care. Exiting the building, it didn't take him long to make his way down the road to the Starbucks where he'd agreed to meet Ryuu.
Once inside, Bill closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He hadn't had any kind of caffeine in a while, and although it wasn't his favorite thing int the world, he was suddenly craving. Waltzing over to the counter he ordered a White Mocha Frappuccino and paid, before shifting over to wait for his drink. A few minutes passed before the barista handed him his drink, with a small smile he took the cup from her before looking around for an empty seat. It didn't take him long to locate one, slightly hidden in the corner. He quickly walked over and slipped down in the seat to wait for Ryuu to show.

Hyped up about meeting with Bill, he threw on some clothes and hurried out the door. His cheating habits were gnawing on his stomach, but he knew meeting up with Bill might push him in the right direction. Somehow he doubted it. Maybe it would be best if he ended it now before Bill got too hurt? No…Ryuu was too greedy for that. He’d wanted Bill for a long time, he wasn’t about to give it up because he wanted everyone else too. Jumping in the car, he stuck in a Nirvana CD and pumped up the volume before he pulled out the car park and cruised down to Starbucks.
He went inside, and ordered an espresso. After getting the strong black coffee he headed over to the table he’d spotted Bill at. He wanted to comment his hair, but suddenly he didn’t feel the need.
“Hey,” he grinned.

Hearing the door open, Bill looked up to see Ryuu entering the coffee shop. He quickly turned his attention back to his frappuccino and frowned, his stomach twisting, making him feel uncomfortable. Upon hearing the older boy's voice, his eyes lit up despite himself and he pasted on his happy-smile as he grinned up at the older boy.
"Hey," he greeted, taking a small sip of his drink. As he watched the older boy, he couldn't stop the thoughts of wanting to just bitch and complain about Tom, but he somehow thought that maybe it wasn't appropriate. Sitting in silence, he wasn't sure what to say; he felt incredibly awkward and wanted nothing more than to go back to his dorm and curl up under his covers.
Opening his mouth, he quickly closed it again and turned his eyes down wards. Running a hand through his hair, he sighed quietly. "How are you.." he trailed off, glancing at Ryuu momentarily.

Ryuu tried gazing wistfully at Bill, but it wasn’t working. What was up with him? He was sure it was a bad case of ‘I got what I wanted now I don’t want it’, and it was frustrating him. Why did he never want things once he’d gotten them? Especially when it came to lovers. Bill seemed hesitant, and he bit his lip.
“What’s up, babes?” he asked reaching under the table to take his hand. The word ‘babes’ got stuck in his throat, and touching his hand didn’t make him tingle with glee or anything. Sipping at the coffee, he tipped his head to one side.
“I’m okay, but I’m not so sure you are,” he said, his eyebrows raised slightly in the middle with concern. It wasn’t heart felt concern, he was just being polite.

Looking at Ryuu with wide eyes, Bill forced out another smile. He flinched lightly as the older boy took hold of his hand and hoped to god that he hadn't noticed. He could tell already that things weren't going to go over as planned. Shrugging, he held back a sigh. "That's good," he muttered, "Nothing's up, I'm fine."
Glancing around the coffee shop, Bill decided to look anywhere but at Ryuu. Frowning lightly, he pulled his hand from the older boys grasp and leaned back in his seat, picking at his fingers; something he only ever did when he was incredibly nervous. After a few minutes of torturous silence, he rubbed the palms of his hands into his eyes, glad for once that he hadn't wore makeup. "I - uhm.." he started, not quite sure how to word his thoughts, "I've heard rumors.. about..... you - and people.. like Alex, and Holly..."

Ryuu sighed when Bill pulled his hand away, and propped his elbows on the table, sipping his coffee again.
“Mmm. What ever you say,” he smirked and rolled his eyes. Bill obviously wasn’t going to tell him anything. Watching Bill, he felt a little pissed off. He was looking anywhere but at Ryuu, and was picking his nails nervously. Was he making Bill nervous? He couldn’t see how but…His bright green eyes looked up at Bill when he spoke, and he groaned, leaning back in his seat and crossing his arms. He bit his lip, wondering what to say. There wasn’t much too say. Ryuu wasn’t sure he’d buy the ‘me and Alex were totally hammered’ excuse and the ‘Holly’s my best friend’ thing would probably make it worse.
“Me too,” he grumbled, as if they were both stupid. He gazed into Bill’s eyes for a moment, and sighed.
“I’ve already gotten one chic pregnant, I ain’t doing it again. Holly just needs me to be there for her. She’s in a right state,” he explained in his defence, wondering which version of the story Bill had actually heard. The Alex story varied wildly depending on who had told it. They went from ‘Alex and Ryuu got totally hammered and made out’ to ‘Alex and Ryuu are having a secrete relationship’.
“What did you hear about Alex,” he asked cautiously, picking up his coffee and sipping it before it went cold.

Bill continued to pick at his nails and brought his gaze up to meet Ryuu's. Taking a deep breath, he nodded as the older boy spoke, not quite sure whether he should believe him. However, the look on his face said that he was telling the truth about the Holly situation - after all, he knew the two were best friends, so it made sense. Reaching out, he grabbed his drink and quickly took a giant sip, smiling for a second at how good it tasted.
Placing his cup back on the table, he heard Ryuu ask him about what he'd heard about him and Alex. Glancing up, he stared in silence and shrugged. He'd heard quite a few things - all of which involved the two boys being drunk, but that didn't matter. It wasn't an excuse. Rubbing his eyes, he shrugged again. "I dunno.. that you made out or something - didn't really hear the whole story.." he trailed off, glancing down momentarily before looking back up and catching Ryuu's eye, "I just wanted to know if it's true."

Ryuu didn’t look at Bill, feeling uncomfortable. Snogging Alex had been the stupidest thing he’d ever done.
“Yeh well…I was completely smashed,” he shrugged, like it was perfectly acceptable, which it wasn’t. He finished his drink, and stared at the un-dissolved coffee grains in the bottom of the cup. Sighing, he tugged at a strand of greasy hair, pushing his beanie hat further back on his head.
“What’s up with Tom? He’s being really grumpy at the moment,” he frowned. His room mate had been off with everyone for a few weeks now, and Ryuu really wanted to know why. Bill, being his twin, would have to know something about it.

Shaking his head at Ryuu's response, Bill sighed loudly and rolled his eyes. He knew that Ryuu's being drunk wasn't an excuse, why should it be? He watched intently as the older boy fiddled with his hat. Placing his hands in front of him, he decided to let it go, for now, knowing he'd probably end up bringing it up again later anyway.
As he took another sip of his slightly cold drink, he winced at the mention of Tom's name. Tom was not someone he wanted to talk about, let about think about. Groaning, he shrugged. He didn't really want to get into it with Ryuu; he was getting the vibe that Ryuu didn't really care anyway.
"He's an ass, that's what's up with him." he scowled and crossed his arms over his chest, his features screwed up into a sneer, "He can like.. die of some horrible disease for all I care."

Ryuu grinned, leaning forwards and propping his elbows on the chair, head in hands.
“That bad, eh?” he drawled, looking right into the cup, “I know that feeling all too well.” Twin brothers and hating their guts was a field Ryuu was very experienced in. Irja was the closest thing Ryuu had to a worst enemy. But then again, if any of the students at Watson’s knew Ryuu was well as his brother did, most of them would hate him. He hadn’t been very nice to Irja in their childhood, so it was coming and biting him in the ass now.
“Are you pissed off with me?” he asked quietly, looking into his eyes. He still liked them, but there wasn’t much love left for Bill. Just lust, as usual.

Bill smirked and rolled his eyes; from what he'd heard, or course Ryuu knew the feeling.
"Yah. He's... nevermind," he said, letting out a short laugh, not at all wanting to get into it. He realized that although Ryuu was fine with telling him all about his life, it wasn't something Bill liked talking about. He'd rather have people think that his childhood and relationship with his brother had always been amazing, which compared to some people, it had been.
After letting out an audible sigh, Bill pushed his half full cup out in front of him. His drink was cold and he didn't want it anymore. Pouting slightly, he shrugged. Of course he was pissed at Ryuu, and he felt that he had every right to be. He knew this relationship - which he wasn't even sure if he could consider it one anymore, was going steadily downhill. However, when he thought about it, the cheating with Oli and Alex, that wasn't what really bothered him. What really pissed him off was the fact that, after they'd slept together, the older boy continued to make him feel wanted.
"I don't know, maybe," he muttered, frowning as he caught Ryuu's eye.

Ryuu bit his lip thoughtfully. He was a very open guy, and it perplexed him when other people weren’t, but then again, it wasn’t his information to pry out. Letting it drop, he waited for Bill to start complaining about how insensitive he was or what ever. But no, he just muttered something that confirmed his past fears. Bill didn’t like him.
“Mmm. That’s a problem, isn’t it?” he purred, trying to coax him out of his little sulky mood. He just wanted to kiss him, and then maybe he’d just end it. Quite frankly, Ryuu didn’t need the hassle of covering up the multitude of different flings he’d had whilst claiming he was Bill’s boyfriend. It was always the way. He came, he saw, he cheated, he got dumped. It amused him sometimes when people kept forgiving him, but he doubted Bill would let another one slide.
“I know you don’t really want to hear this but…I’m sorry, I’m a complete prick,” he sighed, looking at Bill carefully with big green eyes.

Bill was glad that Ryuu hadn't pushed the Tom subject and as he slumped in his seat, he frowned at the older boy. There were so many thing he wanted to say and questions he wanted answered but he knew there wasn't enough time in the world to start.
As he heard Ryuu call himself a prick, he let out a cruel laugh. "That's an understatement," he muttered under his breath, hoping the older boy hadn't caught on. He stared at Ryuu, narrowing his eyes and opening his mouth before closing it again quickly. Rubbing at his eyes for the millionth time, he sighed audibly.
“Why... why did you.. lead me on? ” he stopped quickly, trying to think of the perfect way to word his thoughts, “It would have been so much easier if you’d left me alone after - you know - instead of pretending that you actually gave a shit.”

Ryuu flinched, and stared at the table. Because he was greedy, because he was a jerk, he thought it’d be fun or some other shit like that. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair. He actually thought he liked Bill, but it turned out he didn’t.
“Because…I dunno,” he frowned, not even attempting to deny it, because, in truth, he had. He looked up at Bill, and smiled faintly, he was still one of the cutest guys he’d ever seen. But that was the problem, he was only cute. He annoyed the heck out of Bill, and Bill sort of bored him. Tapping his fingers on the table, he sighed again.
[Bill dump Ryuu or Ryuu dump Bill? =/ ]
