"Wait. Dragged him off you?" Indigo almost hadn't caught that in Jory's run-on confession. "Wait, what did you need to talk about? He just like, gave you a kiss onstage, right?" Indigo pulled away. He wouldn't get angry, he was probably just misunderstanding. He wouldn't get angry. Except he already was.

"Wait, no! Not off me, just he had to go talk to him," Jory said, worry seeping in again. "Nothing happened, I promise. I think Jai thought I came to get with him and-and so he wanted to talk about why I stopped the kiss. I didn't even see Jai until he was on stage again, and that was from the balcony with Danica. She's his kind of girlfriend."

"Oh." Kind of girlfriend. She didn't sound like a girlfriend at all if Jai--Jai freaking Peacock--was kissing other people--my boyfriend--and then wanting to talk about why Jory didn't keep kissing him.
"Wait, why did you need to talk about why you weren't kissing him? Why would he think that you showing up meant you wanted to get together? Does he just think everyone who shows up here wants to get with him?"
Indigo didn't notice the attention their low-key argument was drawing as it became increasingly less low-key. He noticed security approaching however, and it struck fear into him. What had he done wrong? What was going on?
Jai and Mister Monroe are waiting backstage for you, a man in dark robes told Jory.
Indigo gave Jory a long, hard look. Maybe he should just go home.

Jory's eyes widened and he shook his head even as he backed away from Indigo. This was going from getting better to oh no, my life is going to hell really quickly. "I-I've met him before, you knew that. And well, maybe we kind of got together, but that was like two months before me and you got together and I'd forgotten Dismas said we needed to talk after the show..." Ah, panic, my old friend, we meet again.

Jory had actually gotten together with Jai Peacock? Indigo was thrown into a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. That couldn't mean anything besides sex. That was pretty much all Jory got out of relationships before him, wasn't it? Sex and abuse? And for all the times that Jory had mentioned this guy or that guy, or tried to compare Indigo, however favorably, to an ex, he'd never mentioned sleeping with Jai Peacock. And he'd never helped Indigo meet the guy, which Indigo had blown off because who was he to ask for some fan meeting out of nowhere just because his boyfriend knew--had slept with--a rock star.
But that was before Jory and Indigo had even gotten together. It was when he'd been with Mari, who Jory had totally encouraged him to get with even though Indigo had hinted--more than hinted--that it was Jory he wanted. Had Jory dumped a rock star to get with him? Had Jory gotten with him because the rock star dumped him? If it was no big deal, why hadn't Jory ever said anything?
"I'm going home," Indigo said, trying to sound calm when he was seething. Then he turned to leave. He wanted to go shoot things.

Jory had never said anything because Indigo never seemed to want to hear any of it, but now there was an increasingly annoyed-looking security guy and Indigo was angry, and this was all wrong, and he didn't know what to say to make it right again. "No, don't! Please, I...you could come with me! Right? Then you could see there's no secrets, yeah? Just some stupid mistake and a misunderstanding."

Indigo ground his teeth together, but stopped in place. He wanted to leave, to get away from Jory and kill something via gaming until he got this out of his system. No secrets. Some stupid mistake and misunderstanding. He didn't want to be mad at Jory. He most definitely was, but he didn't want to be.
"Fine," he growled. He turned back around, arms folded tightly over his chest, and didn't so much as glance at Jory.

Jai had gotten tired of waiting, so he'd ditched Dimas to look for Jory himself. And Danica. It was the latter he spotted first, standing silently near a cluster of people trying not to look as interested as they actually were. He tapped the nearest security guard on the shoulder, then squeezed past.
"Hey, Jory!" he said, grinning brightly. "This must be your-"

When Indigo saw him, Jai freaking Peacock, he lost it. He lunged forward, swinging a wild and unpracticed fist that nonetheless found its mark. "You stay away from my boyfriend!" He'd have gone for more, but he was already being dragged back and more security had shown up to disperse the crowd.

Jai didn't have time to so much as consider fighting back. His jaw had made a loud snap and he held it with one hand as security surrounded him, leading him backstage again. What the hell had that been about? Was that Jory's boyfriend? He hadn't known when he'd kissed Jory, and Jory had stopped him anyway. What had Jory told the guy?
He was hustled into the room he'd spoken with Dismas in earlier and he winced as an ice pack was pressed to his cheek.

"Indigo! You can't, what the hell was that?!" Jory asked, stepping forward to stop him, but Jai was pulled away before he could do anything. "You can't just hit someone! He wasn't going to do anything," he insisted, keeping his distance from Indigo for now. It was Indigo's fault in the first place that he'd been here alone, and now the guy was just making it worse. No, Jory shook his head, he didn't need to think those kinds of thoughts.

Indigo was in no position to talk as he was manhandled out a back door and into the street. He was terrified and furious and hurt, and when he was let go he shook as he stepped away to pull his shirt straight.
Don't come back tonight or you're getting banned, a security guard told him. They looked at Jory as though to ask whether he wanted to be included in the warning.

Jory hesitated. That in and of itself was probably a huge, enormous even, mistake. But he felt bad for Jai, who really hadn't done anything wrong and deserved some kind of explanation or apology or something, and it was his own fault Jai had been hit. Then there was Indigo, who was finally showing the anger Jory had expected in the first place, and he couldn't just let him go, because that would be just another nail in the coffin. But Indigo had just attacked Jai because he was pissed, and what if the anger found a new target when Jory went out that door?
That was stupid to even think; Indigo had never hurt him before. And Jai deserved an apology, didn't he? Now Jory was just thinking in circles. He brought his hands together again, hoping it wasn't actually possible to break his own fingers with a nervous tick, and his eyes stayed low when he spoke to the guard. "Please tell Jai I'm sorry? And that I want to talk to him later about what happened?" Then he could go with Indigo, and maybe still have a boyfriend in the morning.

Jory had taken too long to think. Yes, he'd followed Indigo this far instead of going after that homewrecking rock star-- after trying to protect Jai--and yes, he'd chosen to stay with Indigo, but he was sending the guy apologies. And he intended to see him again. Indigo didn't bother waiting for Jory, but turned on the spot and disapparated. He was going home, locking himself in his game room, and blasting something. universityofsorcery.proboards.com/thread/149/ragequit-indigo-jory
