[Notice he does, but as usual, Zero's will is strong. Not that he expected anything less.
Mentioning X makes Axl falter a little -- he didn't really want to upset X, and in this state he wasn't sure if X would take his usual jesting calmly.]
Aw, c'mon, you don't have to involve X in this! It's just a joke man!
[ Hmm, he really doesn't seem to want X to know for some reason ... ]
You should've thought of that before spreading rumors involving him. Little too late now ... He's gonna hear about it whether I tell him or someone else does.
[ Oh he wants to. Boy does Zero want to. But at this point, it feels like just telling X about this whole thing will be a better form of punishment than anything he could physically deal out. You are so grounded young man--
So, after a brief, hard stare - as if Zero's considering making a move of some kind on Axl - he looks away, moves off the wall, and turns away to walk off. ]
Save your regrets for after you hear from X about all this.
[ Though really Zero's sure X might, at most, be flustered or annoyed when he hears about this - hell, he might not even bring it up to Axl at all. But hey, he just had to explain to someone that he's not robo-married to his partner, so think whatever you want Axl! ]

Aw man... that sucks.
[Now would be Zero's chance if he still wants to enact some sort of punishment by his own hands.]
