The moment he spotted the other his eyes narrowed a bit and he couldn't help a look full of disdain.

'This fucking piece of trash... Can't believe it...'

Agon took a sharp, deep breath before slowly walking towards that small table in the corner.
It were just stupid apologies, in fact, all he had to do was saying sorry and get it over with. Maybe then his concience would stop bugging him, and maybe then Wilder would at least talk to him again.

Slowly he slid into the chair across the other, shrugging his coat off. Still, fucking trash or no fucking trash, the little twerp showed some balls to agree to this. Agon had to give him that.

"Aaa...let's just cut to the chase here, not?" he spoke, eyes focussed on Kyo's face. Somehow the guy reminded him of that last cute kitten no one wanted.
"We both feel like crap because I fucked up."

Honestly, it felt like he had to throw up and the double espresso he ordered wasn't changing anything to that. This was against his nature, and even his body started to protest against it.
"Aaa...it was a stupid...mistake from my part. It's...I never should've said that shit... Wrong time, wrong place, wrong moment..."

It was like wordvomit or something and Agon noticed his left eye started twitching already.

[say_no_to_leeks]

Typical Agon, it was obvious that he didn't in the least bit want to be there. Kyo couldn't help frowning a bit more, even though he attempted to keep his expression neutral. The hand curled around his coffee cup tightened-- then loosened a bit, and he sighed once more.

What the hell kind of apology is that? Then again, he had to consider who it was he was talking to. Even saying that much was probably painful. The fact that Agon was even willing to say it at all said something. Sitting up straighter almost without thinking, Kyo released his cup finally.

"You're right, it was the wrong place and the wrong time." Then again, as far as he was concerned, there was no right place or time for that kind of a revelation. Taking a moment, he looked down into his coffee once more. This was all still too much like what had happened almost a year before. Finally, he continuted with, "when something's going on with Rufus, personal shit has to take a back seat."

[agon_cool_drive]

Agon kept stirring his spoon through his espresso without touching it. He was sure people could hear him grinding his teeth now. His body was tensing up and he was fighting all the urges to crush this damn twerp.
That Kyo showed up was something he could respect, and that faint feeling of respect was a nice anchor to prevent him from becoming violent.

It was respectable.

He tapped the spoon on the table, deep in thought and thinking of what to say next. And not wanting to hurl and not wanting to feel that annoying empty and lonely feeling.

"What happened between Wilder and I... To me...it ment something... The reason I said that we...were something of some sort...was...because I was very sure it was mutual, aaaa...how wrong was I?"
The expression on his face changed unconciously to a more hurt one.

"I don't want to see him hurt...because...of this. It's...I..."

Oh great, now he was forgetting to speak coherently.

"He wants you back. Go talk to him or something..."
His teeth kept gnashing and his heartbeat sped up. He was getting angry.
"It's my fault. I was...too stupid to believe Wilders bullshit."

There was a faint 'crack' audible when the cup gave in under the strength of his hand.

[say_no_to_leeks]

The slightly hurt expression on Agon's face as he talked made Kyo pause, then a moment later he shook his head when the cup the other was gripping cracked. Rolling his eyes, he reached to pull the mug away, then pushed a napkin across the table at Agon.

It was strange, he decided, being the one trying to keep things calm and composed. He was usually the one to snap first, but though he was annoyed, and unable to decide if he hated the person across from him or not, he knew it wasn't the time or place for a confrontation.

"Zelos..." Trailing off, Kyo considered his words in an attempt to remain diplomatic, despite the urge to finish with 'is mine, dammit.' "He's attractive, enigmatic... he's easy to fall for. I know that. And... he can lead people on. He has in the past, countless times. I don't think he does it on purpose, but it happens. I'm the first person he's been with for any real amount of time..." He was almost muttering to himself, eyes on the table as he mulled things over. "I'm sure he felt something for you, if he spent as much time with you as I'm hearing. But he's unpredictable sometimes..."

He was starting to ramble, he was sure, and he shook his head, looking up again. "I'll talk to him."

[agon_cool_drive]

The hot sensation of the espresso leaking on the table and all over his hand made him look up and blindly grabbing for the napkin Kyo was pushing across the table.
"Fuck..."

Wiping his fingers Agon looked at Kyo, listening to his words.
The fucking twerp was starting to ramble but what he said pretty much answered the questions that went around inside his head.
"...I don't fall for no one...easily" he almost snarled. "...The things Wilder said...for fucks sake... How can you lie about shit like that. By accident or on purpose, you don't fucking say shit to people like that and let them fucking choke on it."

Agon swallowed hard, fighting against his own nature.

"Back then...I had a...there was a guy...Hiruma. We were...there was this thing... I explained it to Wilder...he...he threw a fit. Crying...all the shit, telling me he fell for me...shit like that. That he was planning to give you up."

He stuck his fingers up and made a quoting-motion.

"Because: 'the relation between Kyo and me isn't much anymore'."
Frustration dripped from every word.

[say_no_to_leeks]

Well... being diplomatic was becoming harder and harder. Kyo resisted the urge to growl. The longer Agon spoke the harder it was, though, and he found himself scowling across the table at the other man.

"He wouldn't have done it on purpose. But I can't say how he felt about you, or how he does now." His tone was sharp now, and he gripped his own cup tightly. "To tell you the truth, it's not the first time that he's planned to give me up. He can't seem to decide what he wants, but I... care about him too much to turn him away when he comes back."

It was true, and besides, Zelos had given him plenty of chances in the past, he felt it was only fair he return that. "It's too late now to do much about all this. It happened. And you and I don't need to be friends, but we have to be able to work together."

[agon_cool_drive]

Now Agon kind of understood in what kind of situation he was in, and what he was trying to accomplish was bordering the impossible. Even with all his godgiven talents, abilities and intelligence...this was one messy and icky kind of thing.
This guy was completely adapted to the most fickle and unpredictable person on the fucking planet! It made everything seem more ridiculous. He accepted the bullshit coming from Wilders mouth?

The genius ignored the obvious scowls from the other.
"That's...just...ridiculous..." Agon finally uttered. "...Oh my boyfriend can't decide what he wants so I put up with him sleeping around? That's...messed up..."

After a long silence Agon opened his mouth again. Shit, right now he actually had to stop himself from laughing.

"...Aaa...Sohma... Honestly, no hard feelings."
For the first time a chuckle made it outside his mouth.
"...I kinda respect guys who constantly put up with bullshit and not feel affected by it. Because if Wilder would've pushed through against his fickle nature and did do what he promised to me...I'd send him to a fucking headdoctor first."

[say_no_to_leeks]

"I'm used to him sleeping with other people... given his profession." It would be pointless not to be used to that, considering. Though this was the first time that Zelos had slept with someone else outside of his job. "Messed up? Probably." Kyo doubted he was even capable of a normal relationship, really.

No hard feelings? A slow blink, and then Kyo managed a vague smile. "I suppose things happen. As long as we don't brawl at work, I'm sure everything will be fine." And as for Zelos; "he takes some getting used to. But honestly... I probably wouldn't change that."

[agon_cool_drive]

Something settled inside of him and Agon leaned back in the chair, unconsiously nipping at the slight burn on his right indexfinger he got from the espresso. It was like the fucking biggest relief ever. Of course there was this slight sting when he had to realize the fact that this was probably also the biggest damn embarassment ever.
And a waste of time.

"Tch." he uttered with a bitter chuckle, shaking his head with disbelief. This was making the upcoming conversation he would have with the redhead a lot easier.
"...Still, if you're so used to it...why screaming and yelling when I told you. Aaaa...you're pretty casual about it, not?"

Before he continued talking he turned to the waitress that just passed his table to order a new espresso and a regular cup of coffee for the other.

"...I mean, whatever issues Wilder has inside his head, I still had a fucking good time with him... He's good in the sack and fun to hang out with. It's...I won't concider you lucky, I think I couldn't handle the continue bullshit."

Zelos Wilder not picking him suddenly didn't seem the end of the fucking world anymore. That conversation they were gonna have wasn't that essential anymore.

"The words he said...aaa...they probably were meaningless. Maybe me...missing Hiruma...made them sound all fucking important..."

[OOC: Kyo icon is cute :'O *squishes him*]

[say_no_to_leeks]

[ooc: lol I think that's one of the ones I made. xD; I fail at text so all my homemade icons are blank.]

Red eyes watched as the waitress cleared away both the cracked espresso cup and his own mug, and Kyo was quiet for a moment before responding. "At the hospital..." He'd just been gassed for one thing, but that wasn't the whole of it. "This is the first time he's done anything like this outside of work as far as I know. It came out of nowhere. Plus, you were a serious dick about it."

With how surprisingly well the conversation was going so far, Kyo felt safe enough to say that without fearing Agon lunging across the table at him. Still, he watched the other carefully in case he needed to brace himself, or move out of the way.

Sitting back a bit when the waitress returned again with new drinks, he shrugged. "So... now what?"

[agon_cool_drive]

Agon listened, arms crossed, leaning back in his chair.
He had been a dick about it, no doubt about that. He'd screwed it up and in order to get Wilder smiling again he had to let go.

"...Go back to him...make him happy. It's me who fucked up. I just want...him to...be happy..." he spoke, turning his head away. "Even though he is a fucking...idiot...sweettalker... I know he's miserable..."

A short shrug followed, trying to be casual about this while on the inside everything was starting to hurt.

[say_no_to_leeks]

This entire situation was just a huge mess, and despite everything Kyo found himself actually starting to feel badly for Agon. As the other spoke, he turned his eyes downward to his coffee, and sighed almost wearily at the sudden urge to apologize.

"Listen, Agon. I'm sorry all this has happened. I know it... sucks. To be rejected." Running a hand through his hair awkwardly, Kyo shook his head. "...anyway..."

Sorry, had to edit this hizzhouse. :'D (prev. reply was tres dramatique :C )

[agon_cool_drive]

Agon's eyes were focussed on a non-existant place somewhere in the restaurant. He could hear Kyo's voice and the words he was speaking.

"It's funny...it's just a fucking funny little joke..." he spoke, one hand moving over the coffeecup, shaking his head. "I also had to let go of someone...to allow me to...fall for him. He was stinkin' jealous. And now the tables are turned...he fucking bails on me like this."

He turned to look at Kyo again, eyes narrowing a bit with anger.

"I didn't got rejected. I fucked up and Wilder is a fucking good liar. But I never got rejected."
He really wanted to say something really nasty, but he swallowed it away just before it was about to leave his mouth. Agon chewed his lip, trying to make some fucking sense out of this.

"It's not your fault...so stop fucking apologizing,...Kyo."

Now these painful twinges of pain in his chest came back constantly. It was like something was choking him. And he wasn't able to retaliate against it. It made him feel powerless and incredibly angry but everytime this new wave of rage threathened to come over him he closed his eyes, uttering a shivering sigh.

"Wilder and I are gonna talk soon, and I'll tell him you want him back. He probably will become a lot more reasonable after I tell him that good news. Then you two can sort things out..."

Finally he took a sip of his coffee, a bit of a defeated look on his face. He pointed at Kyo's coffee.
"It's getting cold and staring at it isn't gonna keep it hot or something."

[say_no_to_leeks]

If he wasn't supposed to apologize, what was he supposed to say? That he was happy things with Agon and Zelos hadn't worked out? Because despite everything that had happened, deep down Kyo really was happy about it.

Agon and Zelos were going to talk again? He wasn't really sure how well that would go. He winced slightly at the thought, then blinked when Agon gestured toward his coffee. "Oh, yeah..." He'd forgotten about it, actually, considering the conversation. Without thinking about it, he lifted the cup and took a drink.

"It's going to take a while, to work things out... after this."

Somehow he felt it necessary to let the other man know that things wouldn't be simple for him from there on out either; maybe not as hard, no, but certainly not easy either.

[agon_cool_drive]

Agon noticed the wince in Kyo's body.
"Wilder won't ever take me back...all he wants...is you back. And there isn't shit you have to work out. He won't ever talk to me...I'm the biggest fucking mistake he ever made."

The coffee really didn't taste too good.

"...When I will talk to him I say that you want him back, and probably he'll become reasonable."

It just hurt. It made him cringe, uneasy and more and more agitated.

"He promised...he just fucking promised..." he murmured, shaking his head. "Aaa...I've been wrong...but...shit...I thought..."
Agon noticed things were going wrong, the pain shot through his body, making everything ache and miserable.

His gaze turned to Kyo again.
"...I fucking love him... Pathetic, isn't it?"

After those words Agon smashed the mug against the wall and got up.
For his own sake...he had to go.
"Give it a week...then he'll be back..."

After those words Kongou Agon stormed off, leaving a path of destruction.

[say_no_to_leeks]

Really, Kyo had no idea how to respond to any of that. Instead he kept silent as Agon spoke, seemingly to himself, then jolted slightly when the other looked at him and said-- "you..." Christ. He hadn't realized Agon had been that serious about it. The taller man didn't seem to be the type to fall for people like that.

Before he could come up with anything to say in response, though, Agon was up; his mug smashed against the wall loudly, making Kyo jump again, and then he was stalking off. Kyo stared after him for a minute before abandoning his own cup, and heading out of the cafe himself.
