[ This is something that would normally be incredibly awkward to talk about, especially with X, but Zero is so aggravated that it happened at all (and that Axl made him CHASE HIM DOWN) that ... well ...
Hey X. Enjoy the mental equivalent of someone kicking down the door and ranting. ]
X, did you hear what Axl's been telling people about us?!
[That's exasperation over embarrassment, though there's some uptick of an awkward, flustered feeling that flickers over the link. Someone's taking this well. ...Or it'll just hit harder, later. One or the other.]
Right. If he's told anyone else or they've told anyone, it... we'll handle it one at a time.
Going by this, I'm guessing you already talked to Axl about it?
[ X taking things as well as he reasonably could helps a bit in calming Zero down, at least. The obvious frustration from him lowers a little, but ... ]
Right ... If we're lucky, it'll just have been that one person. [ ... ] He made me chase him down before I could, that little-- ...
[ Really, he's more annoyed by having had to run and teleport all over the city to catch Axl than what he actually did. ]
[Well, that's part of things addressed, then. ...Though Axl being a pest isn't... entirely unexpected. A little bit of rebelliousness in the adjustment period (did anyone think that was going to go smoothly for someone as action-happy as Axl?).]
I'm sure it's because he wanted to get a rise out of you.
[And you fell for it, Zero. But it's not said without some faint amusement; they're both ridiculous...]
Hmph ... If he does it again, he can find somewhere else to stay.
[ ... Zero doesn't really mean that, as is likely evident with how he's only coming off as irritated and grouchy that any of this happened at all, and not actually truly angry enough to kick Axl out of the house. ]
[By which X means he's sure Zero'll grump about it and grouse and that'll be about the extent of it; Zero's hard, but not unkind--something that never changes.]
[ As much as he'd like to object, Zero can't even get himself to throw Pascal out, let alone Axl. He'd need to burn the house to the ground to be ousted. On purpose. ]
Tch ... [ ... ] Whatever. I'm not gonna go easy on him the next time he spreads ridiculous rumors about us.

I haven't, no.
[But the tone Zero's using is kind of... telling.]
...What's he been saying?

He's telling people that we're married. I already had to correct someone about it.
