When Morthos woke up he noticed Jax had left, probably to go wake up the other two. He hadn't even changed his clothes last night, he just fell asleep above the covers, holding Jax. Before he had time to get up Jax had returned and he smiled seeing her, but he could tell something was wrong. [color=39b54a]"Hey. We need to talk."[/color] Those words sent a shiver down his spine, he'd never even been in a relationship and knew that nothing good ever came of those words. [color=red]"Um, ya, sure, what about?"[/color] She sat on the bed next to him and told him that even though she cared about him she cared about being powerful more, and that wasn't fair to him. She still wanted to be friends and teammates, but that he deserved a girl who put him first. When she was done Morthos didn't know what to say, he just let out a big sigh and said nothing. He'd been broken, he'd really thought after last night there was a chance they might be able to be in a real relationship, but it was all just an illusion. Jax sat beside him, hating the fact that she was causing him pain, [color=39b54a]"I know that wasn't what you wanted to hear..."[/color] She waited a few moments before speaking again, [color=39b54a]"Come on speak to me. Get mad or something and tell me how you feel. I can handle it."[/color] Morthos rubbed his eyes before getting up and walking to the window, [color=red]"This was never supposed to be a permanent thing anyways, it was just some fun between friends, right?"[/color] He took a shuddering breath, as if he could break down at any moment, he repeated more quietly and more to himself, [color=red]"it was always just for fun. It was made very clear this wasn't ever supposed to be anything more serious."[/color] He took another shaky breath and turned back to face Jax, tears welled up in his eyes, [color=red]"you warned me, and I didn't listen. It's really my fault."[/color] He sat down on the other bed and put his head in his hands, he took deep breaths, trying his hardest not to sob, it would only make Jax feel worse. [color=red]"Go on downstairs, I'll meet you down there,"[/color] his voice was muffled since he was hiding in his hands but he was sure she got the message. Jax listened patiently feeling like absolute shit. When he said it was his fault Jax stood up preparing to go into a tandem that it was her damn fault. She was the one hurting him and Ophelia was right she shouldn't have pushed for anything if it was going to turn out like this. She could tell he was on the verge of tears and every part of her wanted to go up and hug him. To tell him she was a liar and she didn't mean any of it. She took a step forward only to clench her fists and step back. He encouraged her to go downstairs, his voice catching at the words. Tears were forming in her eyes but she just clenched her fists harder, repressing them. She watched him for a few minutes before she nodded, [color=39b54a]"Yeah...I'll see you down there... "[/color] She grabbed Roxas' bag and headed towards the door turning to look at him, [color=39b54a]"Morthos...I...I'm sorry."[/color] She exited the room quickly, shutting the door behind her. She paused, tears rolling down her cheeks as she grit her teeth, knowing that that was the hardest thing she had ever had to do. She didn't understand why it meant so much she just knew it was for the better, regarless of how much it hurt. So she had to be strong. She took in a breath before wiping her eyes and continued down the hallway, without looking back. Morthos heard her leave and took that as his cue to break down sobbing on the bed. After a few minutes he'd gotten it mostly out of his system and started packing up his clothes, talking to himself. [color=red]I'm not strong enough for you? Is that it? Sure he can outsmart someone but he doesn't have the raw magic strength I need. Well sorry what you've seen isn't impressive enough for you. Do I need to summon things too? Is that impressive enough? Your dad liked me, but no, all that matters is strength. Well fine, you want raw magical power? Then that's what you'll get."[/color] The venting felt good, he could never hate Jax, but right now he was hurt and just needed to at least pretend he hated her. He finally got all his stuff together and headed down to the lobby and found Jax, [color=red]"so, first mission as a team was a success, ya?"[/color] Morthos was trying to make things feel normal, but he could tell for the next while it might be awkward between them.
