TW: Slight Sexual References

It started off as cute little notes stuck to the top of Xephos' bed and underneath his pillow. He would smile when he saw the small piece of paper and Sjin's familiar handwriting sprawled over it in a rush of sweet nothings. Xephos would be quick to pocket the note before the others could see it and carry on through the day, curiosity slowly taking over as he tinkered with machines while Honeydew made jokes and ate jaffa cakes and Lalna mess around with whatever took his fancy that week.

He would wait until the others were fast asleep before he would sneak out with a lone torch to read the note in peace. They would be sweet messages such as "I miss you" or "I will meet you soon, I promise," and they would make butterflies flutter in his stomach. They were the highlight of his days and his waking hours seemed to drag on if there wasn't a neatly folded note on his bed.

Xephos was thinking about the latest note that had appeared when he felt an arm gently wrap around his waist and lips brush against the shell of his ear.

"Did you get my note?" Sjin whispered, his breath ghosting over Xephos' skin. "More importantly, did you like it?"

"You hung it on the door, they could have seen!" Xephos hissed though he did lean into Sjin's touch. "This isn't a game!" Sjin always seemed to both annoy Xephos and make him lightheaded at the same time. There was a beat of silence before Xephos added, "I have to admit that it was sweet though."

He felt a smirk against his neck before Sjin began to speak again. "Something tells me you're going to like the next note." He breathed and it caused small shivers to shoot up his spine. Xephos was about to ask what Sjin was implying but the booming shouts of Honeydew caused Sjin to sprint back to SipsCo with one last wink.

"Stupid...stupid... person and his stupid notes!" Xephos growled to himself as he rubbed the sore top of his head. He had saw a piece of paper fluttering under his bed but as he went to close his hand around it he realised far too late that his head was too big to fit in the seemingly miniscule gap. "Why couldn't he just leave it under my pillow like normal?!"

"Speaking to yourself is the first sign of madness, friend." Honeydew said cheerfully as he burst into the shed. "What are you looking for? Don't you know I wouldn't leave your present under your own bed?"

"Present?"

Honeydew grinned and punched Xephos on the shoulder playfully. "Don't play dumb with me, admit you were looking for your birthday present!"

Oh.

"Haha, yeah, you got me, Honeydew," Xephos said sheepishly as he crushed the paper tighter in his fist. He knew he wasn't a good liar but Honeydew wasn't exactly the most observant person of the group. "I'll just go and..."

He hurried out of the work shed and sat under a nearby tree, scanning the area for a blob of red or white. When the coast was clear, he opened the crinkled note.

"Xephos,

I can't stop imagining you in my bed right now. Your face flushed red while I pin you down and make you scream my name. Notch, I want you so bad, Xeph. Meet me at SipsCo at sunset.

-Sjin (The name you'll be moaning all night)

P.S:Don't get caught, that would suck for the both of us. "

Okay, that sure was unexpected. Xephos felt a deep blush settle on his face as he crushed the note roughly in his right fist and shoved it unceremoniously into his jacket pocket. "I seriously hate you, Sjin," Xephos cursed under his breath as he tried to get his heartbeat under control. He could almost hear Sjin whisper the note seductively into his ear. Xephos swore to himself again and stood up

"If you want to play with fire, then so be it." Xephos allowed himself to smirk as he walked back to the work shed, silently plotting. "I'll show you a proper note."

Yes, revenge was going to be sweet.
