You're mad*

Zeres stayed very still and quiet after he roared her name. There was nothing but silence for a few moments.

He let out a shaky, vehement breath and he spoke again, now seemingly calm. "Alicia… stop doing this -"

"You are the one who should stop." She argued firmly.

"Why won't you just listen to me?" another vehement sigh came from him before he continued with a muted, velvety voice, "why are you doing this to me?"

A disbelieving smile tugged at Alicia's lips. "I am the one who should ask you that…" she said, trying to control herself from bursting out. "Why are you doing this?!"

Taking a deep breath, she clutched at his shirt and pulled away just enough to look at his face. She didn't seem to realize how close their faces were. But Zeres did and he immediately faced sideways.

"Stop looking away when I'm talking…" she paused and sighed again. "Alright… if you don't want to look at me, at least speak to me properly."
