If twitter was any indication, Rep was in a more foul then usual mood. He hadn't responded to any of his texts lately, maybe a tweet here or there but never more direct then that. He checked the lounges, the cafeteria, even dared the training grounds but still no sign of the guy.
Eventually he resorted to plan B which was to venture towards the shared room between Rep and the others. If Rep wasn't there maybe one of the others could explain why he was being so moody towards him.
Last he had heard Jordan had landed a new room with his promotion. A topic they ran over during a bout of Doritos and attacking one another with black sharpies. The results had been a rather good way to kill time, but he hadn't seen much of Jordan since then either. So he finally moved towards the door of the shared room on the upper floors of the dorms knocking at the door.
<< You know this is probably a bad idea... hopefully he at least takes his shirt off before beating you silly. >>

Rep was somewhat predictably ******** around on twitter when the door was knocked, looking up with a raised brow, it couldn't be either of the guys, they had their own keys, so he had to assume it was probably for Jordan. Oh well what the hell, he could take a message.
Getting up from the couch where he'd been sprawled, he tied up his housecoat more appropriately for the sake of modesty and the eyes of whoever was out there, and then throwing wide the door he looked over who was there. As he realised it was Ro, the blank helpful look narrowed down to a venomous glare.
"Aye?"

<< Oh good he will be half naked when he kills you! >>
The thought alone would have usually encourage complaining, grumbling, and general annoyance but instead was completely ignored for once. Mostly. He did notice that Rep seemed to be ah, nude, possibly, besides a bathrobe. That didn't help the conversation at all.
"You don't respond to texts anymore? What? Is it because I've been talking to Candace again and being with mist girls instead of what ever it is you think I should be doing?"
He made sure to stare at those narrowed eyes. He didn't want to think about looking down.

Rep's expression chilled even further, crossing his arms. "I have my ******** reasons why I don't want to talk to you. The mist thing is just one mark on a big ******** list of s**t, and its not even at the top of the ******** list."
There were so many things that presently threatened him about the new guy, he'd been hoping he'd be easy to control, a prodigy to take under his wing and to get a sort on island gang rolling, get a bit of power around the shitehole. But no, he had free will and now he was even sneaking in and befriending Jordan - it was just a matter of time before he easily rose in favour. Who the hell would pick him over a friendly pretty looking dude who liked pranks and whatever else?
"Why the hell does it even matter to you?"

"What? What reason? What did I do?" The hint of irritation caught in his throat slightly, like it was trying to cover the fact that on some level he was generally hurt at how Rep was treating him most likely.
It didn't occur to him that being friends with Jordan would be the stem of the problems, after all what was wrong with being friends with someone Rep was dating? Among most people befriending those close to you would usually mean everyone getting along, and last he checked Jordan and him where getting along well enough.
"It matters because you've been acting... I don't know, worse? Worse then usual. And that's saying something for someone who well... your always pissed at someone or something and now its me on top of everything else. Is it about thinking Candace tried to kill you, well I'm sorry that I care about you being I don't know, not dead?"
<< You're adorable when you can't figure out how to talk to people you know that? >>
The frustrated look on his face only seemed to get worse.

Everything about Rep's posture tensed up, the way it tended to when he was considering summoning Tracey. He didn't of course, there was hardly room in the hallway for the axe, but he was clearly in the sort of mood to. "Telling me I'm always pissed at something isn't a good way to solve that fact. Nor is implying Candace could kill me or even come close." he snarled irritably. "As for what the ******** you did .."
He trailed off, not sure what to say and considering his words carefully. If he told Ro this was about Jordan, it would probably get back to him. He'd end up getting told to be reasonable, inevitably having to stand by and just watch as his happiness wriggled away. He knew it was coming, he wasn't allowed to be this happy this long, something was going to ruin it.
But on the other hand what else could he even say?
"It's complicated."

<< Don't do it, he'll deck you if you say it. >>
The boy crossed his arms looking at Rep for a long moment, ignoring the remarks about Candace for now.
"I've got plenty of time for 'complicated' so just say it already alright?"

Rep bristled at the defiance, leaning down into Ro's personal space to glare at him proper. "You are getting too ******** close and feely with what is mine."
He didn't specify, he still didn't want it getting back if he could avoid it. "And that's as well as getting too big for your ******** boots."

He tensed for a moment, fearing whatever might come next as Rep lowered his head down to level with his. The last word mine hissed in his face practically.
"What, is this because, because I went on a training course with Harrison? I hang out with Jordan? What of 'yours' did I touch?" He continued to stand his ground.
"W-well maybe it's because I'm trying to g-give a damn about you and if that means doing this then.... ******** it, I will!" He reached forward to push Rep back and out of his own personal space.
Sylvia let out a delighted purr the moment he tried to push Rep away.

Rep was about to state that it was all of those things, he hadn't even been aware of the training course with Harrison, and the idea that Ro might be going after him too spooked him even more. He was about to say more, to try and edge up the intimidation when he was shoved back.
His reaction was flat out startled surprise for a few moments, giving no resistance to being pushed, even staggering a step back as his balance was thrown. He gave Ro a puzzled look before slow dawning realisation sunk in and he clenched his hands into fists. "You cocky little p***k. Who the ******** do you think you are. Did I say you could touch me?"
"You think just because you are all buddy ******** buddy with Jordan you can do whatever the hell you ******** want. I should beat the s**t out of you, teach you a lesson ******** proper." He was utterly livid, every single word sharp and vicious.

For a moment, just the slightest moment, Rep looked surprised. Though whatever that meant it didn't last long as Rep was slowly starting to clench his fist.
"W-well who said you have the right to yell at me like that!?" It was then the truth of the matter came out, on one hand it was a simple misunderstanding. On the other hand it was simple misunderstanding involving a very angry Rep.
"Because I'm what? I never said, why the hell does him being my friend have anything to do with me being able to do what I want?!" His chest heaved slightly, "You ******** idiot!" The words came out slightly choked this time, "That 'buddy ******** buddy' and you along with Ceres and Candace are the only friends I've had since my life became a s**t hole of moving military base to military base! I'm sooooo sorry that I was happy for once to have someone I could talk to and hang out with who wouldn't be moving away in a few months or a year unless god forbid some freak rips them in half or drowns them in lava!"
His voice had started to crack, given enough time he might even almost cry. Thankfully however, Sylvia had quickly shut her own mouth offering no opinions on the matter any longer.

"I have every ******** right to yell at you. Like I said, some things are ******** mine."
Ro's explanation only made it worse rather than better. So he had no friends, no one else to turn to - anyone else might have been sympathetic, Rep was threatened. "I'm not exactly ******** up to my neck in friends either here in case you didn't ******** notice. I don't get along with people, people don't get along with me. When I have something good, you can bet sure as ******** I'm going to fight for it, and if fighting means being pretty ******** clear with people that I'm not cool with them, I will be."
Sympathy wasn't something that came easily to Rep, he was used to when people showed weakness, going for the throat. But that didn't mean that faced with the mist hunter - who he'd hoped he could befriend properly - he didn't feel a twinge of regret that things had turned out this way. "And don't you ******** dare call me an idiot, if anyone's an idiot here it's you, not able to tell when you aren't wanted."

"I didn't want to TAKE them I just wanted friends dammit!"
"What part of me trying to tell you that I'm your friend do you not get!? Do I have to be shacking up with you for you to think I'm something more then some kid you can push around!" He pointed at Rep again, not a push but the finger moved towards him none the less, "You never had a problem with me till a few days ago! You where a jack a**, you where rude, but you NEVER acted like this!"
He went to move forward to get in Rep's face in turn for once and stopped mid step, the words hitting him like a ton of bricks. His jaw dropped, opened, closed and opened again. His eyes where clearly watering now as he stepped into the room shoving at Rep again, "SHUT UP YOU LYING b*****d!"
<< Roland... you need to stop, this isn't going to help. >>

Rep never reacted to violence or anger directed at him well, it reminded him of standing by in the past while aggressive pricks intimidated him and his mum. Kindness baffled him and often resulted in a sort of civility in return, passive and logical people he got along with. This though, he knew exactly how to respond and that was with every wall, every bit of nastiness he had at his disposal.
He gave the pointed finger a look, simply staring at it as every bit of jest vanished entirely from his tone. He wasn't testing or defending himself any longer, he was slighted and he'd been shoved into a place where all that was left was his injured pride. "Listen you arrogant little ********> he spat, shivering with barely controlled fury, Tracey in his head over and over reminding him this was a hallway, this would make a mess if he summoned.
"I tolerated you because I thought you had ******** promise, because you seemed like you had half a ******** clue how to act. But you don't."
"You aren't my ******** friend."
As he was shoved again though, what self control he had left rebelled, it was too close to the bone, too close to other times when he'd let himself be pushed around. Since arriving at the island, he'd started to get the old instincts in check, learn to respond to words that angered him with words, the fact he'd even lasted this long was testament to that fact. But there was only so far he could be pushed before he found himself cornered with nothing to fall back on but violence.
His skin utterly crawled under the contact and his first response was to shove at Ro forcefully in return trying to wriggle back away from him, the second lashing out in an attempted kick to keep him at bay.
The third was to summon Tracey, even despite the limited space.
"GET THE ******** OUT OF MY ROOM." he absolutely roared, finally snapped, all pretence of control and civility clear out of the window. "Or so ******** help me, I will put you through five ******** walls."

It wasn't hard to hear the yelling coming down the hall. In fact, it would have been pretty much impossible to miss it. Jordan was tired and grumpy after cleaning crew duty; he'd been hoping to get a shower and settle in with a book, but it sounded like some kind of problem had arisen that was going to have to be dealt with first.
He let the irritation show on his face as he picked up his pace down the hall, stopping in the door to 239 and taking in the situation. "Okay, would somebody mind explaining what the ******** is going on? One at a time, so I can actually understand it?"
