Jax took the water bottle greedily and downed it hastily the water leaving clean lines down her cheeks. After her brief confusion on where she was going, she followed Roxas to his house. She walked inside noticing Morthos passed out on the couch. She winced still feeling like an asshole as Roxas showed her the rest of his house including the guest room. It came equipped with its own bathroom which she used promptly after Roxas left. Once she was fully clean she dried herself off the best she could and moved to the bed. She didn't have any new clothes so she snooped in some drawers finding a plain white shirt she could pull over her underwear.

Her head was really hurting now, and when she was finally ready she fell on the bed not even pulling over the covers before her brain turned off and she fell into sweet oblivion. Thoughts of love and darkness no longer burdening her for the time being.

Ophelia moved quickly to shut and lock the door then was straddling him and looking down at him. Her eyes were still glossy and he could tell that she was really high still. All he could do was giggle though since it took him by surprise. "Thank you baby." He looked at her as her hands started to run through his hair. Her hair was dangling down over him and he could feel it gently against his face. Roxas took his hand and brought it up to Ophelia's cheek then pulled her down to kiss her again. She squirmed against his body for a little while and he could tell what she was after. "Someone's not like herself right now are you." He grinned and kissed her again. "What're you thinking about?" His hand ran from her cheek, down her neck, then to her back. It took everything inside of him to hold back, but he didn't know how much longer he could take it.

Roxas wanted her. He never wanted a woman as bad as he did Ophelia. It was tough to stay composed, but he did it.

The next morthing, Roxas woke up naked besides Ophelia. He smiled and kissed her gently before cuddling up close to her for a bit. After a few minutes of the two of them holding each other, Roxas got up to put some clothes on. "We had better go check on the others. They had a rough night. You take it slow too love." He winked at her then walked into the bathroom.

Jax woke up with a headache that could split wood. She shifted on the bed, her arms covered in light goosebumps as light from the nearby shutters fell across her skin. She sat up groaning, her muscles shifting beneath her. She moved to the bathroom, relieving herself before she came out and grabbed her phone. Angry text messages from both Maise and Uma filled her inbox. She groaned dialing Uma's number first. After two very long and very pitiful conversations about her embarrassing display, she felt that she was on good terms with the girls. She stood up chucking the cell onto the bed and moved to the window. She could write off being drunk with the girls but Morthos was a different story. He wouldn't forget last night and he wouldn't let her get away with the 'I'm drunk' excuse either. She was very very tempted to sneak out the window but she figured cowardly acts like that would only deter the dream of being a hero.

So she pulled up her grownup panties and headed downstairs noting that Morthos was still sleeping on the couch. She moved over to a blanket covering him before she headed into the kitchen grabbing a cup of water. She downed it quickly thinking about the front door and how she could just leave and disappear into the day. Go hide in the church. She put the glass in the sink and then walked back into the living room planning to head back upstairs when she saw that Morthos had woken up. She turned giving a small sympathetic smile. She looked at her feet then back up at him, "Hi."

Morthos had drunkenly staggered his way to Roxas' house and had barely made it two steps before he collapsed on the couch and was out cold. At some point he woke up, it was dark so not morning yet. His head was killing him, he grabbed some water and downed three glasses before filling the cup once more and leaving it on the table near the couch, he knew he'd want it when he woke up again, but for now he was going to go back to being dead to the world.

What felt like a minute later he felt a blanket be placed over him, he cracked an eye open and saw Jax walking to the kitchen. He stretched and began waking up, figuring it must be morning at this point. Jax came over and gave a sheepish greeting. "Mm hey, how you doing?" What even happened last night? He was dancing with Jax, he got some strong drink.....oh. Oh right. All that with Uma. And Jax said she'd consider giving him a chance. It was hard to believe so much had happened last night, but unless those were drunken hallucinations all of that happened.

Roxas turned the hot water on full blast, still thinking about the night before. He could still picture Ophelia and smiled as he stepped into the water. He quickly washed his hair and scrubbed his body. After getting all clean he let the water beat down on him, closing his eyes.

The water started to go cold a bit and Roxas quickly shut the water off. He grabbed the towel and dried off, grabbing the and tooth brush then quickly brushed. When he was all finished, he walked back into the bed room, tossed his clothes in the hamper then noticed Ophelia's stuff in there as well. Turning around, Ophilea was on the bed waiting for him. She was in one of his shirts which made him smile. "I see you found my shirts." He laughed a bit. "It looks very nice on you." Roxas quickly out his clothes on and walked over to kiss Ophelia. "How are the others? Are they talking at least?"

Jax let out a large breath and a small laugh, "Oh..I'm fabulous." She moved over to sit down on the floor beside the couch leaning back to rest her head against his leg, "After tackling my friend Uma to the ground and performing a dramatic monologue about you breaking my heart I hid in a dumpster from Roxas. Oh, wait for it, no that wasn't a dumpster it was the bedroom of a homeless goblin. I think I have never ever been so embarrassed then I am this morning."

She twisted to the side, "Look I'm sorry about yesterday. I know it is way, way, way too early to have this discussion but I'm going to be thinking about it all day until I get this out so bear with me. I am not going be comfortable watching you date other girls. It is going to irk me and make me jealous, and I am alarmingly aware that this situation is hypocritical when I have clearly set boundaries between us. So. What to do. I can't date you Morthos. I am too fucked up when it comes to boys or being in an intimate relationship.. but..."

She paused as Ophelia came in with food. She thanked her and took the glass of water with a smile. The smell of the eggs making her a bit nauseous. She gulped the rest of it down before speaking to Ophelia,"Thanks. I'll come find you in a bit."

Once Ophelia was heading back upstairs with a bit of a tired motion that Jax couldn't help noticing she stood up moving to straddle Morthos' lap so his full focus was on her, "But...I won't see any other boys right now. No sleeping around, kissing, touching anyone else." She leaned forward placing her arms on either side of his head as her green eyes bored into his, "I can also be a very very flirty friend." She leaned even closer shifting slightly on his lap, her expression growing more honest, "I understand if that is not enough, but it's what I can offer you. It is also a lot more then I have offered anyone. So? Is that going to be enough for now?"

"I vaguely remember you tackling Uma," Morthos muttered before Jax continued on with her apology. Ophelia brought some food, that was nice of her, "thanks Ophelia," Morthos called as she walked back upstairs. He'd grab the food momentarily, right now he just wanted to keep laying down, Then Jax was on top of him, quite literally, offering him what sounded like a relationship but she didn't wanna call it that.

"Yes, yes that's fine, uh, you do me, FUCK, you. I mean, not fuck you, I mean fuck me, uhhh I mean...." Morthos stammered a moment before giving up. it had happened, his red skin had somehow become redder as he blushed probably for the first time in his life. "I'm still kinda messed up from last night, you know what I mean, right?" He was sure Jax would be a good sport but gods that was a rocky start to their relationship but not a relationship. "So, you said no kissing or touching other guys, does that mean we will be doing those things?" He wasn't exactly sure what Jax had in mind, just that she had clearly made up her mind that she felt something for Morthos.

Ophelia smiled a closed lip smile, kissing Roxas back softly after he complimented her in his shirt and then asked if the other two were talking. Ophelia raised an eyebrow, her eyes widening slightly while she looked up at Roxas. "Oh they're talking all right. Jax was straddling Morthos when I brought them both a plate of food. Speaking of, here you go," she said, handing Roxas his plate as well. "Jax looked at me funny when I walked by. I think she knows..." she said, chewing her lip and furrowing her brow together.

She was sure Jax would be disappointed that Ophelia didn't wait like she promised she would. But as it stood, Jax wasn't in the best situation with more than a couple of people she figured, so hopefully Jax would let it go. What mattered to Ophelia was that she loved Roxas. And that was all. She hoped Jax would understand. And she also hoped Jax would get her shit together and just tell Morthos how she truly felt. It was so damn obvious. The tension was getting ridiculous. Ophelia shook her head gently, and then sat on the bed again. She figured she would let Roxas finish eating before they both went downstairs. She wanted to give Jax and Morthos enough time to talk things through.

"So, I think there are a few things we have to do today before we can go on missions. Jax has to get her new scythe still, we will need to get the mission, find out where and what it is, then pack accordingly. Hargul will take care of the house..." she was creating a verbal list, wanting to organize her thoughts and as she was doing this, became distracted.

Jax burst into laughter at Morthos' awkward word fumble. He blushed and he heart warmed enjoying the fact she was making him off kilter. She kept her spot sitting on him, her expression turning pensive when he asked her about the parameters of their 'relationship.' She thought for a minute before pulling back slightly, "Okay. The name of the game here Sparky is no intimacy. No sex. It is too messy and it almost always brings up feelings.
Kissing and heavy petting I am for..but you can't do it as a sign of affection. Don't kiss me when I'm sad..just when you want to be flirty. This thing is not a relationship. We are friends who are having fun with each other. The rule that matters the most is this. No falling in love. No bonding. We can leave this at any time and still be friends. Got it? "

She leaned down again, getting very close to him, so that their chests were touching. She got comfortable leaning over to kiss him on the neck very lightly, her fingers lightly moving up his side's to rest on his shoulder, "This a purely physical agreement. No deep emotion." She pulled back nipping him lightly, so she could stare down at him, "Can you handle what I'm offering?"

"I..." Morthos took a deep breath. On top of being distracted by Jax and still being a bit drunk from the night before, he wanted to choose his words carefully. He had no clue if he could handle this type of relationship, he'd never even been in a normal relationship before, never mind one with all the stipulations of no feelings. Jax already knew he had feelings for her, so what was he supposed to do with those? It's not like he could throw them away. On the other hand, this was probably the best he would get out of Jax for now, and if she wasn't going to see anyone else it would kind of be like a normal relationship.

"I promise," Morthos spoke slowly, intentionally, he wanted to make sure he said this the right now, "I will not act like a crazy ex should we decide to end this. We will still be friends, nothing will be awkward," he made sure not to mention not catching feelings. He'd already caught feelings, but hopefully that was acceptable for Jax. "Now, would you mind getting off me? I'm feeling hungry now and the very nice breakfast your sister made is getting cold." He raised and eyebrow at her, "or are you gonna be naughty and I'll have to make you?"

Roxas smiled and took the food from Ophelia , kissing her in response. He loved the feel of her lips against his. They were cool and soft and tasted sweet. After he finished kissing her he looked down and started to eat. "Well as long as they don't have sex on the couch. That's why there's a guest room." Once he finished, he placed the plate on his desk and started to pack is bag for the day. Placing his cloak and mask on top. "Also if she has an issue with what we did last night then we can just bring up her atrocious behavior at the club. I don't think she's going to say anything." He smiled and kissed her again. "Come on lest go downstairs before they do anything." He took her hand and started for the door.

They both walked down the stairs right as Morthos asked Jax to get off so he could eat. "Okay you two break it up." He teased them as he entered the kitchen and tossed the plate in the sink. "So how do you two feel this morning? Got a headache?" He winked then grabbed some water, Ophelia still next him. "What's the plan for the day? I hear something about a mission?"

Jax watched him promise her relatively everything she asked but she noted that he ignored the part about falling in love with her or developing feelings. She should be getting off of him and demanding he repeat the words but, to be honest, she was too tired to fight and she couldn't control how he felt. Perhaps the rules were more for her than him anyway. She would have to be the strong one for the relationship, she supposed. The level-headed one. She was on a tangent when he asked her to get off of him so he could eat. She pulled her head back slightly, her eyes widening as he issued a challenge that he would have to move her. She smirked, about to respond when Roxas interrupted them. She let out a sigh, sitting up to look at Roxas with annoyance, "I can't speak for him, but I think I am going to take a break from drinking for a while. Thanks for getting me home."

She turned to look at Morthos wanting to say something but she decided against it before she got off him and grabbed her food. She finished it quickly moving to sit in a spare chair before placing the empty plate back on the coffee table. She wiped her mouth then pushed some of her hair back her hands moving to rest on her knees, "Well we haven't necessarily had a conversation about being a team but I assume we probably have all been thinking about it. Especially since we have gone up a level. I feel like my sister and I feel the same way about separating. It's not going to happen. I can also assume Ophelia will not join a team without Roxas so that makes him in as well." She turned to Morthos with a small smirk, "I assume you would also want to join into a team seeming as we have gotten fairly...'close.'"

After his response, she called to Ophelia to come over so they were in a tighter group. She eyed her sister closely noting that she seemed slightly off, and made a promise to herself to ask her about it later. When everyone seemed as though they were paying attention Jax spoke evenly, her voice carrying a trace of authority to enhance the seriousness of her tone, "I would be honored to be on a team with each of you, but you have to know what you are signing up for. I have always had a dream to be the strongest soldier of the SPA and I will stop at nothing to fight my way to the top. I love this guild. I built my memories here, made friends and found out who I was and what I wanted to be here. It would be an honor and a privilege to be a leader within its walls. I don't know why each of you joined SPA or if you even give a shit about being the best in the school but if we are going to be a team, or better yet if you are going to join me, then you have to know that the road I'm walking will not be easy."

She stood looking at each of them individually, "Being a team is like being part of a family. We struggle and survive together, we fight together and we help each other when we are weak. We are loyal to our guild and our mission but overall we need to be loyal to each other or this is not going to work. We will fail if we aren't committed to each other 100 percent. So.." She held out her fist looking at them, with a fierce strength behind her eyes, "are you with me?"

"Break it up? It was just getting to the good part," Morthos jokingly complained as the other two came downstairs. Jax got off him and he sat up and ate his food, it was a little cold for his liking but a quick snap of his fingers fixed that problem. "Well I normally don't drink, so I won't be swearing off drinking since it's not usually penciled in to my schedule." He put his plate down and was going to take it to the sink when Ophelia came by and collected it along with Jax's, she was like the mom of the group, "thanks Ophelia."

Jax brought up being a team, and the fact Morthos would probably want to be with her. "Well, there's that, and also you guys are my only friends, you seem to keep forgetting up until a few days ago I was basically a hermit." She called over Ophelia and gave them a rousing speech about how much she loved SPA and wanted to be the strongest. When she was done Morthos stood up and put his hand on top of hers, "I'm in, honestly I don't think I'd rather be on a team with anyone other than you guys, it'll be great spending so much time with you all." He used his free hand to reach around and pinch Jax's ass, giving her a cheeky wink in the process. If they were gonna do this he'd be as flirty as he wanted, regardless of company.

Roxas listened as Jax was speaking. The last time he was in a party they all died. Not that he was thinking that was going to happen with these guys, but it happened all the same. Ophelia walked over to listen too and Roxas put his arm around her waist. Jax seemed convincing enough, but he still just wasn't sure. She was righ about one thing though. He wasn't going anywhere Ophelia wasn't. In that look I guess he was stuck. "Okay I'm in, but under one condition." He looked at each and every one of them. "I have been doing this a lot longer than you three have so when I say that something is to hard, or we won't be able to take it by ourselves, you better listen to me. I'm not losing another group of friends." He made sure all of them knew that.

Roxas had been alone for the last five years so if Jax was going to be the leader he could already tell there was going to be some head butting involved. Like he said, he had been doing this for a while and was pretty sure he was more knowledgeable about these things. It didn't bug him as much as he thought it would so that was a plus. Jax just better not get them all killed. Roxas has the got of death in his head, if Ophelia get killed, there's no where anyone could hide from him once he released Ifrit. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that though.

Ophelia was pulled to Roxas’s side and she listened to her sister give a speech. She knew Jax would probably be anfair and giving leader, and she smiled at the thought of them all forming a group. She loved the idea and grinned a full smile. She put her cold hand on top of Morthos’s extra warm one and spoke gently, “I’m in. Let’s do this.”

She looked at each of them now, her eyes bright and excited. Finally something more than just mundane classes was going to happen in the guild. But what they didn’t know was this was going to bring on so much more chaos than expected.
