A Better Time, A Different Time – Tale One: To Each His Own
Story written on January 14, 2008 by writerz86.
The next few days that passed Xena wasn’t really herself; not talking like she usually did, when Ulysses tried to kiss her she turned so that he kissed her cheek instead. She spent most of her time with Argo than she did with Ulysses and it had been three days now since she started doing that and he almost regretted buying her that horse. She did more talking to the horse than she did to Ulysses and that hurt him. On the fourth day Ulysses decided to confront Xena and when he did she was in the stable sitting on the floor next to Argo’s stall. “Xena,” Ulysses called and she raised her head and looked at him, “we need to talk,” he said. “About what?” She asked and he let out a breath, “I think you know about what. You’ve been cold and distant these past few days and I want to know why. Is there something I’ve done?” He asked and she stood and let out a breath, “no I just need some time to myself.”
She said and he looked at her, “please don’t lie to me. I know that’s not all,” he said and she spun and looked at him, “look, this is my life, I’ll live it how I want.” She said and he nodded, “and that’s fine but I don’t deserve the way you’ve been treating me. Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong,” he said and she let out a breath. “Because I don’t want to and why do you have to be so damn understanding all the time? Why can’t you be like other men and pressure me to have sex?” She asked and he looked at her, “is that what this is about? The other night, when YOU asked me to stop and I did.
You would have rather I pushed you and pressured you until what happened to you before, happened again?” Ulysses asked and Xena looked at him, “maybe,” she said and he let out a breath as he shook his head. “You’re not making sense,” he said and she hunched her shoulders at him, “it’s who I am, if you don’t like it then leave.” Xena said and Ulysses looked at her, “oh I see,” Ulysses said as he looked at Xena. “When you can’t fix a problem you blame it on the other person and then you push them away,” Ulysses said as he walked up to Xena and she looked at him.
