The hardest thing about dating AJ is the tantrums he throws when something doesn’t go the way he wants it to.
He’d get mad, leave you to figure it out yourself and walk around all moody.
Most of the time it was no big deal, you’d end up talking it out in the end and he wouldn’t do anything TOO dramatic.
But today? Oh today he really outdid himself.
You were both invited to a little get together at Kenny’s. No drinks, no nothing, just a sober friendly meet up.
During the meet up you and Kenny started to have a pretty passionate conversation, doesn’t matter what the topic was, let’s just say it really got both of you concentrated. So concentrated that you somehow, by AJ’s words, ignored him all evening.
Of course after he pulled you to the side and told you how he felt you laughed in his face. It seemed so absurd to you that you thought he was joking. You ignoring him for Kenny?! Never.
AJ took it the wrong way, and with a dramatic “Oh thas how it is?” He left.
Just left.
You didn’t know where he went, how he could even go anywhere because you’re the one who drives. You asked Niko if AJ told him anything, but as you predicted he didn’t. The only option was to go back home and either find him there or wait for him.
Now, here you were, driving in the empty streets of your little village, praying that once you pull over to your house you’ll see the lights on.
And you did!
Your heart jumped in excitement.
“Thank god,” you sighed.
You parked the car and closed the yard gate, making your way to the door.
“Aje?” You called out.
No answer.
You tossed your shoes off and threw the car keys into the bowl next to the cupboard.
“AJ-” you cut yourself off as you noticed him in the living room, curled up on the far side of the couch scrolling through his phone with his back to you.
“AJ,” you said as gently as you could.
“Hey,” you frowned “I’m sorry.”
In response he just stayed silent.
“Aje, stop it.” You walked around the couch, over to him. He quickly flipped onto the other side. You suppressed a chuckle and sat down beside him. He was so petty.
“AJ can we not do this? Why are you acting like this? I was JUST TALKING to Kenny, you know it.”
He sat up, pulled down the hood of his sweater and stared at you.
You blinked, feeling a little embarrassed under his gaze. But he didn’t say anything, just kept looking with that hurt expression on his face.
“Aje,” you whispered, scooting over to him. He didn’t move away, he waited for your next actions. “I’m sorry. I really am, but you can’t just leave me like that. I have every right to be mad too.”
He scoffed and wanted to turn away, but your grabbed his sleeve and tugged at it “No it’s not funny or whatever. Why do you do that and then just expect me to come back, running and praying for you to forgive me? We’re ADULTS. We can talk it out you know.”
His face softened.
For about three minutes the two of you held eye contact, until finally AJ spoke up “You’re right,” he sighed “I-I’m sorry. It’s just that I hate it when you don’t pay attention to me. As stupid as it might sound and as needy as it might come out, but it really really hurts me.”
You nod “I get it. And I swear I don’t do it on purpose. And I won’t. Ever. But Aje, you can’t be running off like that.”
He scratched the back of his head and looked down at the floor, nodding.
“Sorry.” He mumbled.
“You moved over closer and envelope him in a hug, slight tightening your grip after feeling him melt into you.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry too.”
You grinned to yourself, whilst he breathed out in relief.
“Never forget that I love your lil stupid ass.” You snickered.
“Aye!” He wanted to pull away but you clung on “You cheeky.” He shook his head playfully.
