(PHOTO FROM PINTREST)
"I just want you to choose me more Ajax. It's like every time Xavier or Kent call you to come smoke a joint or play video games you run-" Ajax cut you off " oh come on, that's not true" letting out a bitter laugh you folded your arms across your chestÂ
"oh really? Because what about what happened yesterday huh? It was the one night Yoko was gonna be out all night, and you were supposed to spend the night with me, and we were gonna watch a movie and just ACTUALLY be together outside of school, but Xavier calls you to come smoke a fucking joint and your gone. You didn't even stop to think how I would feel! And then you didn't even text or call me after! It's like I'm an after thought to you and I don't want that!" You paused to catch your breathe to stop from breaking down
"I'm starting to think we should just take a break" You said your voice strained as you fought back your tears,Â
Ajax sighed his own frustrations getting the better of him "fine whatever!" His words stunned you, but it wouldn't break you. You held your head high as you pushed past him to his dorm rooms door, slamming it behind you.
You held it together until you got to your dorm, by then it all became too much, you slid your back against the door, laid your hand in your knees and just bawled, sobs wracking through your body uncontrollably. You honestly didn't know how the next few days were gonna go. But right now you couldn't care less... you just wanted to cry yourself to sleep.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The next day you woke, head pounding, face red and sore from all the crying "hey you okay?" Yoko questioned from her side of the room "I think Ajax and I are done" her head snapped in your direction, even her sunglasses couldn't hide her shock "you’re kidding? What happened?! You guys always seemed so solid" her words snapped something in you again as you broke down once more, rushing toward you she pulled you into a hug "hey it's okay, you don't have to tell me anything yet, just know you can come to me whenever your ready" Yoko said as she patted your back gentlyÂ
"Are you okay to go to class? I can tell Thornhill you're sick today?" You thought about her offer but ultimately declined "the longer I prolong seeing him the harder it'll be" nodding she let you get ready as you both headed down to breakfast. It wasn't long until you spotted him, at the usual table, with your usual seat right next to him still free. His eyes immediately caught yours and he immediately turned his gaze away as if it burned him
Turning to Yoko with tears "I'm not really hungry I'm just gonna go" you rushed out shakily "me either, come on let's go" she pulled you toward the exit, but not before she turned her head catching eyes with Ajax, sending him a harsh glare "he's an idiot for what it's worth" she said in silence making you chuckle as she led you to the nightshades room.
"Dude, what the hell was that?" Xavier muffled out through bites of cereal, sighing Ajax watched after you quietly crying as Yoko lead you out "we kinda ... broke up last night" coughing Xavier stared at him wide eyed "what the fuck? Why?!"Â
"She was pissed I left her the other night to come smoke with you but I didn't think she'd want to come..." Ajax trailed off when his friends hand shot out to stop him "when you say left her...what do you mean by that?"Â
"We were hanging out in her dorm and watching a movie, and then you called to go smoke so I... okay so I think I know where I fucked up- dude, how the fuck am I gonna fix this? She's bound to hate me" Ajax groaned, his hands dragging down his face in exasperationÂ
Xavier laughed "dude she doesn't hate you, if she hated you, she wouldn't have rushed out crying. What you need to do is pull off a grand gesture, flowers, chocolates, maybe something shiny? Girls like shiny stuff don't they?" Ajax nodded quickly "yeah totally! I- I could get her a necklace? Maybe... how expensive would that be- not that she isn't worth it! I just mean I only have some money from my part time summer job-"
"Dude!" Xavier cut him off loudly "chill out your rambling like crazy. I suggest you go ask Enid for help, you know she loves this kinda stuff, although if I were you I'd cover your head when you tell her what happened" Xavier warned, Ajax laughed shaking his head, Enid was loyal to the back bone to her friends but he's sure she wouldn't get physical.
Not even 30 minutes later———
"Ow- ow- Enid please just- ouch!- hear me out" he managed to squeak out between her attacks on him "you. better.have.a.good.explanation!" Enid said through her hits, finally he was able to run off to a distance to hide from her attacks "alright. I screwed up- big time!" he rushed out as she showed her clawsÂ
"you think?! Y/N has spent the day balling her eyes out in her room" he felt his heart drop, hearing out hurt you were "I know. Look I want to make it up to her, I need to win her back more than anything. And I need your help to do it, please Enid"
He watched her gaze soften and her claws go back to a smaller, slightly less threatening length "I'm listening" Ajax's shoulders dropped and he let out a breathe he didn't even know he was holding "I love her, and I screwed up and let her think I just didn't care about her when that is literally so far from the truth. And I think I need to do something big for her to forgive me, and Xavier and I thought who better to ask than Enid Sinclair... so will you help me, please?"Â
He watched as smirk took over face, her claws retracting fully at this point "absolutely! Now what we're gonna need is Roses, lots and lots of roses, ones as flowers, and ones as rose petals for the floor. I'm gonna make sure Xavier finds other sleeping arrangement's for tonight. We're gonna go to town and get everything. I'm talking candles, music, dinner and dessert" nodding he took notes of everything she was sayingÂ
"Now I do have a spending limit of $175" he panicked when Enid threw him a look "I swear it's all I made from my summer job, I haven't spent a dime of it other than on coming back to school presents for Y/N. Would that be enough to pull this off, or should I start begging in town so I can buy her a necklace or something?" He asked seriouslyÂ
Enid threw her head back in laughter " I can totally pull it off with that limit. And besides you know Y/N, she just wants to feel and hear how much you love her. She doesn't want a big expensive necklace that you're in debt for. She just wants you, Ajax"Â she reassured him softly making him nod slowly, he knows she's right.Â
Thankfully it was early enough, Ajax and Enid decided to ditch their morning classes to get the bus to town to get everything for tonight readyÂ
"Alright so we have candles, we have the chocolates and we have the roses, I still think we should have gotten the peonies cause they're Y/N's favourite, now we just have to set up everything... and think of how to get her to come to my dorm" Ajax told her as they watched out of the flower mart "Ajax it's about romance not favourite flowers, and roses are the most romantic flowers, besides I know what to do to get her there, you just have to get rid of Xavier for the night, and for the love of good turn off your damn phone"Â
Ajax chuckled at her words "don't worry I have the boys on do not disturb and they will stay on do not disturb every second I'm with her... if she takes me back..." he trailed off worry settling his chestÂ
"listen, you go on and wait at the bus stop I forgot to grab something I'll just be a couple minutes" he told Enid quickly before jogging back in the depths of town, quickly finding the small jewellery shop, he looked at the last of his cash, thankfully they didn't do too much damage. He still had 86 bucks left
"Welcome to Jericho's gems and gifts, how can I help you?" Ajax's head snapped towards the wary old voice from the older women with big thick glasses on her face and a vibrant red lipstick on "hi, yeah I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend but I uh I kinda have a limit of $60 is there anything I could get for that?" He asked twiddling with his thumbs,
The older women smiled warmly at him "I think I can help you sweetheart, tell me now is there any type of jewellery you think she'd like specifically" he thought for a moment before deciding, "I think she'd like a bracelet, she wears her Grandma's earrings every day that she left for her and she already has a ring her parents got her and I kinda want the ring I get her eventually to be the ring.. if you know what I mean" he told her with awkward laughÂ
"I've got you honey, now tell me whats your initials, and your girls?"Â
"Mines A P and hers is Y/I's" she pulled out a few bracelets "perfect now which chain would you like?" She pointed to all three infront of him, on a simple silver chain- nothing special about it, the next was nicer with a little swirl in the chain, however the third was what really caught his eye, it was a simple chain with small gems around it "how much is that one?"Â He pointed to itÂ
"All are $55 honey, and then it's only $5 dollars for the initials to be added" her sweet voice was music to his ears "seriously?" She nodded "thank you so much" she smiled at him, packages it up for him and as he handed her the cash she spoke once more "now try not to mess up again son, I know young relationships have their ups and downs, but any girl that has you running round like a headless chicken trying to fix it has to be one very special girl... you don't ever want to let go" he listened intently as she spoke, part him wondering how she knew, but the other part of him just agreed with her because of course, she's right
"Thank you for everything ma'am" he smiled at her before heading out the door, rushing towards the bus stop where he'd left Enid "where did you go?" She asked eyeing the bag in his hand "you'll find out soon, don't worry" he held the bag tight in his hand, ignoring the eye roll from her "killing me with suspense, that's cruel Ajax. However Y/N's reaction is gonna be absolutely worth it!"Â
Finally back at Nevermore's grounds the two snuck back in through the tunnels "how the hell did you find these?" Enid groaned as she shook off another spider web from her arm "sometimes it's hard to find places to... make out when both roommates are around, Y/N and I had to get a little creative..." he told her sheepishly, her eyes widened as she spot a particular wrapper in worn down on the ground
 "oh my god you two are freaking animals" she muttered out lowly in disgust "like i said we had to get creative... come on the exit's not too far now" Ajax rushed out, trying to distract from the awkward moment "ugh you so owe me after this" she groaned dramatically.
"Alright so you told Xavier to stay out of the room until tomorrow or you'll stone him, beds made, candles are lit, the roses lead from the door to your desk, where of course the dinner is, and your mystery bag is..." she checked her list, urging him to find the small paper bag "right here! Now how do we get her here?" He asked panicked
Enid smirked pulling out her phone "I've got that covered, you go get changed and I'll get her here... shoo, go get dressed." She pushed him towards his closetÂ
Enid pressed your contact and waited for you to pick up, putting you on speaker "h-hello" your shaking voice came from the phone, Ajax's heart plummeted to his stomach at the sound of your broken voice, "hey sweetie, I heard what happened, how are you feeling?" You sighed on the other end, voice coming out in slight cracks "pretty shitty honestly, I ditched most of today"Â
"Yeah I heard Ajax did the same thing, Xavier told me Ajax has locked himself in his room, won't let anyone in, even him" you panicked slightly on the other end "is he okay? Do you think I should call him?" Ajax's frown grew, he hated how upset this was making you, and yet you still wanted to check on him, even though he was such a jack assÂ
"Maybe you should go to his dorm, just see how he is?" Enid suggested hoping you'd take the bait "yeah I'll go check on him, he might be a jerk, but he's still a jerk I care about. I'll text you how he is" you told her before hanging upÂ
"Alright, that's my cue to leave, good luck with tonight and for the love of god, do not screw up again. Next time I won't be so helpful" she told him, here claws coming out as a warning causing Ajax to gulp "I won't, I promise".Â
Once Enid had left, Ajax left the door mostly closed but left slightly ajar, turning off the lights, he pressed play on his phone, allowing the soft music to play, his heart was now fully hammering against his chest, he rubbed his palms up and down his pants to dry them. Finally after what felt like an eternity he heard rushed footsteps, he knew they were yours before you even reached the door. "Ajax?" He heard you call "whys the door open? Enid said it was closed" he heard you mumble to yourself.
"Alright I'm coming in" you announced now fully pushing the door open. Your eyes widened as they took in the sight before you, roses scattered the floor, the smell of vanilla filled the room, along with the faint smell of burgers and fries
"Ajax? W-what is all this?" You voice weary as your eyes filled with tears "i wanted to apologise to you. Baby, i know i fucked up. I didn't see it until I actually lost you. I am so sorry, your right i wasn't putting you first, and i should have, Y/N I love you so much, and if you're willing to give me a second chance at being your boyfriend, i promise you i will do everything in my power to make this up to you" he spoke, stepping forward, his hand reaching out timidly with a slight shake
Frozen in spot, you allowed him to take your hand and pull you further into the room, the door shutting behind you "Ajax I- I honestly don't know what to say. This is incredible" his shoulders eased as you finally spoke "it's all for you, I wanted to do something to show you how much I care about us", I love you too much to let that be the end of us" his voice was low that only you could hear, it had your heart soaring
 "I love you too. I don't want to break up I- I just want you to put me first, but that doesn't mean I don't want you to drop your friends. I just want you to be with me when your with me, we don't get time alone together that often and every time time that we do I just want to take advantage of it" Ajax nodded along at your words, taking everything in , his hand never leaving yours.Â
"You're right, we don't get enough alone time together for me to be wasting it on my idiot friends, and I promise if you'll let me, I'll prove it to you" he assured you, slowly taking a step forward to be closer to you, and you let him.
You looked up at him smiling, your free hand going to the side of his cheek, pulling him down to your lips, the kiss didn't last long before you were both smiling shading each others lips and having to pull away "does this mean you forgive me" Ajax questioned before making you giggle "it means that yes, I forgive you, but I want real improvement from you mister" he chuckled lowly, leaning down letting his forehead rest against yours "I promise you won't regret giving me a second chance" he promised you, before pulling your lips into another deep kiss.
Ajax and you sat on his bed now, the food all gone, lips swollen from stolen kisses through out "how'd you get the room free this long?" You asked against his chest the movie played on, Ajax's arms wrapped around you, hand running up and down your side "funny story actually... I told Xavier if he didn't give me the room tonight I'd stone him" he confessed, rushing out the last part hoping you wouldn't hear "Ajax!" Your head snapped up from its place on his chest "I had to have the room to ourselves to pull this off, besides it's not like it's permanent, he would have been back to normal in a couple hours"Â
"That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, I really appreciate it" you smiled down at him "I've got you something too" Ajax told you, pulling away slightly to reach for the bag under his bed "you didn't have to get me anything" you fully sat up now still sitting closely to him "It's just a little something special, I really hope you like it" he handed you the small brown bag , quickly you opened it, dying to see what was insideÂ
"Weed?" You questioned with a small laugh when you saw the horror on his face "no- crap wrong bag!" He grabbed the other bag quickly and replaced them "Ajax it's beautiful, I love it" your eyes once more filled with tears as you pulled out the silver chain with gems decorating it "is that our initials?" You asked, spotting the A.P and Y/I as he put the bracelet around your wristÂ
"Yeah I thought you'd like that" sniffling you launch yourself forward, now straddling his hips on the bed, placing both hands on the side of his face you pulled him into a rough kiss, your tongue sliding through his lips quickly, his hands resting on your ass, fingers digging into the flesh as you continued your assault on his lips "you said we have the room tonight... does that mean all night or just till a certain time" you breathed out through kisses "if Xavier knows what's good for him he'd better stay the hell away all night" he groaned out as you started to roll your hips against his
"Good" you told him, your fingers working to take his shirt off, ajax pulling your own off too, quickly making a pile on the floor, your breasts spilling free as you slammed your lips back to his.Â
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The next morning you awoke to Ajax leaving small kisses along your neck "oh god, what time is it" you moaned out as he sucked at the sensitive part under your jaw "it's 8:15am, but it's also Saturday so we can spend the whole day in bed... just. Like. This" his rough morning voice leaving shivers down your spine as he rolled you over so he could find your lips, his words coming out between kisses "I like the sound of that" you said biting your lip, your arms linked around his neck, pulling him back down to your lips, legs wrapping tightly around his hips to pull him even closer than he already was
Getting lost in each other through the battle of dominance in the kiss, neither you nor Ajax heard the keys in the doorÂ
"Oh wow. I can see you two have made up, congratulations you horny idiots" a familiar voice called from the door, the two of your pulled away in a panic, Ajax covering your body with his under the covers quickly "dude! Get the hell outta here!" Ajax yelled causing Xavier to laugh "relax I'm just getting my folder. I'm gonna be in the shed for the rest of today, so you two can have fun" he called over his shoulder the slamming behind himÂ
"Well I guess that ruined the moment huh?" You said looking down into Ajax's eyes from where he was covering your breasts from the intruders view. "Well not necessarily, I could just ya know" he gestured down with his eyes before lowering his body down, your eyes widening as he spread your legs wider to lay over his shoulders, the muscles in his back rippling as he got to work. And this was just him getting started in making it up to you.
