"Because you're not acting like yourself, that's why!"
It definitely hadn't been the start of a game. His temper rose to match Tom's immediately, as it always did. When things were good, when they got along, it was great, but the other side of that coin was that when they fought, it always escalated quickly. Short tempers and both with a tendency towards overblown dramatics. Always the potential for fireworks.
"Who are you gonna fuckin' go with, Sarah again?" Homecoming, he could understand. He'd taken Irene, just like Tom had taken Sarah, and they'd both done what was expected of them. It was everything that came after that pissed him off. Everything in the wake of it that hurt. There had always been flirting, but it had never made him so angry until after that dance.
"She your girlfriend now? Might as well be, you're pretending hard enough."
