Les Laches

Possessiveness

Meda glanced at Tian for the umpteenth time before descending from her Mustang. The cold night air made her move faster to open the door for her lover. However, as his eyes looked back at Tian who was smiling towards him while intending to get off, he closed the passenger door again and locked his car. Tian's eyes widened to find Meda's treatment.

“Med. What the fuck? I'm going down!” tian shouted as he tapped on the young man's car window.

Meda. Tian who thought that the young man might not hear him, almost shouted again in a louder voice. However, before he carried out his intention, Meda unlocked his car.

“Why am I locked inside?” Tian asked with a feeling between annoyed and confused.

Meda simply snorted without giving an answer to Tian's question, even as the girl repeated the question as the two walked towards Afgar's front yard.

The two are currently attending an Afgar birthday party held in the front yard of their home. The front yard of the Afgar family home may not be as extensive as Adler's, but it was enough to accommodate the invited guests Afgar gathered to enliven his party.

Tian himself finally gave up on questioning Meda and decided to look for his friends among the human crowd around him. Hera and Alvin who had arrived first, were seen standing in one corner of the yard while talking about something with serious facial expressions. Tian hesitated to approach, but Hera told Tian to meet him when Tian arrived at Afgar's house. Therefore, before taking it a step further and accidentally listening to their seemingly secret conversation, Tian called out Hera's name with the volume of voice he was trying not to overdo. But in fact, he still gets a reprimand. Even the reprimand came from the lips of his own lover.

“What are you doing screaming?!” sergeant Meda while frowning.

Tian could only frown and decided to return to walking without waiting for Meda. He approached Hera, who signaled him to come closer when he saw her.

“The face is so ugly!” reprimand Hera as Tian was before her.

Tian immediately took out a small mirror from his wallet and checked the makeup polish on his face.

“There's a mess?” tanyanya panic. 

Tian swore inwardly that he would not dress up again if until his appearance this time looked ridiculous in the eyes of others.

“Not her make up. Your expression is why it looks so. Come-come already bete,” reply Hera quickly before switching to stare at Meda. “Attem?”

Meda again just grunted her breath, making Tian immediately complain to Hera.

“So I want to be locked in the car, he just kept saying a word just because I was screaming right call your name. Yeah, think about it, Ra. From the other end,” Tian pointed at the point where it stood, “here, can you hear my voice if I don't scream?”

Alvin who had just been silent, also watched Meda who did not defend herself at all. The young man was even engrossed in throwing glances at all directions in the yard of the Afgar house with a fierce look. Alvin followed the direction of his gaze and a small chuckle made Hera's eyes instantly widen. The reason, his lover did not laugh at all since both of them came out of the building Hera house.

Yes, before, the young man had only shown a cheerful expression that was forced in front of Hera's parents, but came back cold-faced when only the two were with Hera. However, the laughter that the young man had just shown was a casual, sincere laugh. It was as if he was back to being the usual Alvin.

“What's up, Vin?” Hera ventured to ask. If he finds something that will make Alvin laugh again, he will try to do it.

“He's just jealous.” Alvin replied while throwing a ignorant smile at Meda who just shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

Hera, on the other hand, paid absolutely no attention to anything else–including Alvin–'s answerother than the fact that her lover was really back to look “normal”. For a few seconds, Hera was at a loss for words. He only managed to force himself to speak when he saw Alvin's smile fade when he saw his reaction.

“Jealous for what?” Hera asked hurriedly. His voice sounded shrill as he forced to let out a sound from his choked throat.

Fortunately, the smile on Alvin's lips rose again as he answered Hera's question.

“Try clothes Tian.”

Hera obeyed Alvin's orders. He observed his yellow dress intersecting A-Line and frowned.

Tian himself checked his appearance.

Alvin brought his lips closer to Hera's ears. “Don't ask me to judge Tian's appearance with my own lips. Because there will be two pairs of hands that beat me up if my honest opinion is thrown.”

Hera doesn't understand. Two guys? And why did Alvin have to get beat up?

Alvin sighed impatiently before returning to look at Meda.

“Ngerasa no, if the appearance of our girlfriend is taker?”

Without needing to be asked twice, Meda nodded steadily making Tian and Hera exchange judging gazes. Hera immediately understood what Alvin meant when comparing his clothes to the dress Tian was wearing, while Tian himself still looked confused.

“Yeah! What do I think is it?” exclaiming Hera before pulling Tian's arm closer.

“Nih, Ti! Alvin wants to say that your appearance is not as usual. You usually wear clothes covered like I wear this, but tonight even wear clothes that are like the style of clothes I usually wear. That means taper.”

“Your usual clothing style? Which sexy?” Tian's eyes were round in confidence after hearing his best friend's words. “This is sexy?”

“Do you think?” 

This time Meda who asked in a sharp tone made Tian only able to reply in a whispering voice.

“What looks like is only my shoulder.”

"Not because of that. Slim fit type dresses like this too accentuate the body shape of the wearer." Hera clucked half amused, half annoyed. “If I'm wearing it may still be safe, but if Kate Upton is wearing it can be predicted that there will be many indentations exposed.”

Tian could only frown upon hearing the name that his best friend had just mentioned. She did not know who Kate Upton was and why she was compared to Tian, but she was able to draw an outline of the issues her closest friends, especially Meda. The clothes are too sexy. It's only fitting that Meda is a little sulky.

Meda did not like to see Tian look "other" than usual. He did not want Tian to attract the attention of other men besides himself. Even as Tian began to learn to dress up, Meda forced Tian to promise never to wear red lipstick and eye makeup. Tian of course complied with all of Meda's requests with pleasure. Apart from being never used to performing with makeup, she dresses up just to attract Meda's attention. If the result will even make Meda more uncomfortable, of course Tian will stop it.

“Ya. Sorry,” Tian said at last as he slipped spoiled into Meda's arms.

Meda who had not expected Tian's next action could only hold her breath. The temptations waged by the girl are increasingly dangerous, he said. He almost questioned the identity of the girl in case she exchanged souls with other girls who had different characters. However, the red tinge on Tian's cheek signified that he was also awkward with his own actions, making Meda undo her intentions and swallow her question again.

Hera herself could only laugh amusedly at the incident. It was he who made Tian learn the trick because the girl forced Hera to teach him how to make Meda stick to him like Alvin who seemed to not want to be separated from Hera.

Be spoiled. That was one of the tricks Hera had taught Tian. Who would have thought that the behavior that should have been intended to make his partner anxious had turned into a very tempting action when done by a Tian.

Hera was a little sorry Sapphira didn't see that with her. He was just about to question the whereabouts of his best friend when his eyes caught the figure of Afgar coming out of the building of his house in a short-sleeved black shirt and black-and-white vest. Beside him, Safira walked over while poking at his arm. The girl herself wears a red mini dress with a ribbon collar that can be tied behind the neck.

“Wow!” That was the word that slid from Sapphira's lips as her eyes caught Tian's appearance. “You didn't want to fill a closet with Hera, ‘kan?”

“Trust me, Fir. I think there is also my shirt that was left behind at his house,” timpal Hera while throwing a view that more or less means “Tuh right. What I said?” to Tian.

The three girls were busy fussing over the topic unaware that Meda was throwing a sharp look at Afgar while using her suit to cover Tian's shoulders. It was indeed only him who saw Afgar's eye light as he looked at Tian. And it was not the gaze that an older brother would give his sister, as Tian claimed when Meda asked about his relationship with Afgar.
