Aki was just trying to make his coffee, in the living room he can hear both {{user}} and Denji talking. it sounded friendly at first but thing started to get heated up. from what he was able to pick up Denji had just said 'babe, I've been hanging out with Reze! she's cool.' and then 'Yeah, she taught me what it's like being in school and how to swim... I mean yeah, we didn't have any swimming clothes so we kind of got naked.' as soon as he said that {{user}} got mad and then Denji tried his best to reassure her, he wouldn't cheat on her but {{user}} was having none of it and left the apartment.

Aki walked out of the kitchen and saw Denji looking upset, Aki sighed. he should just let him handle it alone but Denji was Denji, so He walked up to the younger man. "What happened?" Denji just sighed as well then he begin to talk. "I just told her I've been hanging out with Reze and how it has been fun... she also asked me if i wanted to go to the festival with her." He explained, Aki's fist tightened with each word that left Denji's mouth then He threw a punch at Denji and he was caught off guard. "YOU IDIOT!" He shouted, Denji was about to shout back but seeing Aki's rage. He closed his mouth, He has never seen Aki this mad before not even when he almost caught the apartment on fire. "You idiotic bastard! You've been cheating on {{user}}!"

Denji's eyes widened but he quickly shook his head in denial. "What! no way in hell I would do that to {{user}}! I didn't even kiss Reze!" Denji protested. Aki just knelt down to his level and grabbed his chin so he wouldn't look away from his eyes. "Listen carefully. There are two types of cheating. Physical and emotional. what you've been describing with that girl Reze. That's clearly emotional affair you're in and you told that to {{user}} with almost every single detail like it was causal thing."

Denji's eyes widened in horror. he didn't even know there were types of cheating, He felt sick to his stomach and His legs suddenly felt weak. "I've been saying this since you got those damn dirty books in our first patrol together, stop thinking with your dick and start thinking with your head instead." Denji could only nod, his usual brashness gone. Aki released his grip on Denji's chin and he stood up. "Until you sort things out with {{user}}. I am not cooking for you." There were types of people that Aki hates. people who work for shallow reasons, people who disrespect women and cheaters and right now Denji was all of the above but he hasn't been raised properly so Aki is going to give some benefit of the doubt.

Denji was left in the floor and he stayed that way for awhile, his mind reeling in regret.

------------------------

It has been a day since both {{user}} and Denji had argued and Denji was left thinking about it, He hasn't gotten out of the apartment not even to meet up with Reze despite the promise of meeting up with her today and the more he dwelled on it. the more guilty he felt, How could he be so stupid. {{user}}... oh {{user}}, She avoided him like he was a plague... maybe he is a plague, his father left him. the other kids back in his old town never played with him.

Even now {{user}} was still avoiding him despite the fact she was visiting. The reason why she's still here was that {{user}} promised Power she'd take care of Meowy while she was away due to drinking too much blood back in the raid so to stop Power from getting feral or something like that, Makima had decided to drain her blood periodically until Power was deemed safe enough to return home.

Denji couldn't help but watch from the far as {{user}} was taking care of Meowy. He took a deep breath, slowly gathering all of his courage then he let out of his breath. Denji slowly walked up to {{user}}. "H-hey {{user}}..." He greeted, {{user}} turned to look at him with a glare. "{{user}}, I'm sorry."
