Friends to Lovers

Friends to Lovers Pt. 6

"Why did we even have to watch this play? I mean, what was the benefit for us?" I stared at the ceiling, waiting for (Y/N) to answer. "I think they wanted to show us that it's okay to leave everything behind us when we change faction." She snuggled further into me. "Not everything, huh?" She didn't answer, already asleep. "I'm sorry (Y/N)."
I got out of bed and walked to the living room to call Jeanine.

Y/N POV

I woke up, finding the bed beside me empty. Outside, I could hear two familiar voices arguing. I got out of bed, searching for my clothes till I remembered that I left them in the bathroom.
I had no other choice but leave the bedroom in Eric's Shirt. At least it covered most of me.
As I opened the door, I didn't expect Four to stand in the living room, yelling at Eric.
"Oh, finally! The princess decides to show her face!" Four glared at me, leaving Eric alone for once.
"What? How did you know I'm here?" I walked over to them and Eric passed me a cup of coffee. That's when I noticed that my hand was perfectly fine now.
Silently thanking him, I waited for Four to continue. "I was watching the cameras yesterday and suddenly I see you entering Eric's apartment. You didn't come out again, so I thought I'd confront you today! I can't believe that you would give yourself to him!"
"Give myself to him? He didn't even see me naked. Yes, we slept in the same bed, but we didn't sleep with each other." I tried to explain to Four, but he obviously didn't believe me.
"I don't care what you did and what you didn't. I just thought you were different." Four turned to leave and the first time since I left the bedroom, Eric opened his mouth.
"Did you delete the tapes and disable the camera?" He took a sip of his coffee and looked at Four with raised eyebrows. "Do you think I'm dumb? Of course I did. As much as I hate you, I like her. Just, be more discrete from now on." Four left me and Eric in the kitchen, sipping our coffee.
"You need to get ready. If anyone asks you were up early to visit Xavier in the infirmary." He put his cup in the sink and walked back to his bedroom.
Huffing, I finished my coffee and placed my cup alongside his. To dress, I went to the bathroom and left as soon as I was ready. Eric was never good with mornings.

Taking Eric's advice, I went to the infirmary, checking on Xavier, but when I got there, Xavier was just about to leave.
"My hero!" I hugged him, chuckling quietly. "Aww, that's cute my damsel in distress!" I hit him.
Together we walked back to the dorms, where the others told us that we got the day off to do what we want. After Xavier and I shared a high five, we decided to go get some new clothes.
Together we stormed the giant store, each one picking outfits for the other.
I picked a tight, black tank top with matching trousers and a flannel shirt that faded from white to black. As accessories I picked a chain he could put on his trousers and a choker with spikes. The shoes looked like typical military boots.
We both got into the changing cabins, putting on whatever the other picked. In my case that meant a black tang top with black hot pants. Over that I had a loose black cardigan and some black necklaces. My shoes had the same military look as the ones I picked out for Xavier, but instead of black, they were bright red. Matching the wrist band he picked out.

Both of us left the cabins at the same time, grinning at each other. The only downside to this game was that neither one of us could afford those clothes. So we put them back and kept on window shopping. As we got to the tattoo parlour, I decided I want to get one. Xavier, who wasn't too good with needles, said we would meet each other for dinner later.
Laughing at him I turned to search for a symbol I would like to have.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to get one with dreamcatchers that run down my spine.

The whole procedure took about one hour and it hurt like a bitch! I mean sure, I could've used this new technique they developed, but this, what I have on my back now, is a real tattoo. And I love it.
The tattoo lady explained everything about the healing process and the cream I have to put on it every day and let me go.
It was already dinner time when I was able to leave, but I decided to stop by the clothes store again. I used my last few points on a shirt, so that the others could see my tattoo.

I entered the cafeteria and immediately found Xavier, sitting at a table with Lucy. The talk they had yesterday seemed to have paid off.
After getting my food, I walked towards the table when Tyler walked in my way.
"Oh there you are! I searched for yesterday and somehow, you didn't return to the dorm. I wonder where you were...maybe, screwing one of our leaders?" He smirked at me, his friends laughed. Well, two could play that game. "Aww, that's so cute! You missed me so much you even looked for me all night! You stayed awake for me. That's the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me!" I faked wiping away a tear. The attention of the room was on the two of us, even the leaders couldn't help but to stare.
"Oh no, I didn't miss you. I just wanted to see where you were. Nothing against that, huh?"
"So...now you admit to being my stalker?" I raised an eyebrow.
"No! What the! You little bitch!" Not even one second before Tyler lunged out to hit me, Max stood up and everyone halted in their movements.
"Initiates! After what happened yesterday I don't think this the right time or the right place! You'll have enough chances to fight in training! Sit down, or leave!"
I admit I didn't listen to him on the first day, but right now, Max was a real cool guy with perfect timing.
I shot Tyler a grin and walked past him to where Xavier and Lucy waited for me.
"How was it? Getting a tattoo, I mean." Xavier immediately started talking, as always.
I told him everything, hoping to be able to eat a meal in silence. And it was quiet. Well, as quiet as it can get with Xavier sitting beside you.

After dinner, the three of us walked back to the dorm. Lucy hasn't talked about what had happened yesterday, but she was sorry. I knew that.
Since I had the honour to have the most comfortable shower just yesterday, and I didn't want to get my tattoo wet, I waited on Xavier's and my bed.
They soon were finished and joined me. We kept talking for a while, about our old faction, what we want to become after initiation and so on.
Still, when Xavier suddenly pulled a guitar from under his side of the bed, I couldn't help my eyes widening in shock. "What is that?"
"A guitar." He grinned at the guitar as if it was his baby. I just continued to stare at him. "Oh come on! I know you can sing! I heard you!" I couldn't believe this guy! He listened to me while I was singing under the shower!
"You don't even know how to you use this thing!" I turned away from him, but turned back as soon as I heard him play some familiar chords.
"Xavier! Stop! I'm not going to sing in front of all of the others!" My voice turned to a hiss.
"Why? I would quite enjoy it." Lucy just now decided to chime in. Those guys...
Xavier repeated the chords and slowly, I began to sing.
