Chapter 37
PYRO’S HEART
PYRO’S POV
I jumped to hit Hali into the shoulder. He winced and massaged it after my arnis touched his skin. “You’re so mad right now, but for sure, it’s to me.”
I shut my mouth. I had no vocal chords to talk to him.
“It’s about a girl?” Hali rotated his arnis in the air and immediately spring a long way and struck me. I moved as fast as I could to defend myself using the arnis, our arnis crossed above my head. “Fira?”
Still, my mouth was shut. If I would reveal my feelings right now, definitely it would not to Hali or Zephyrus. Raiden and Colden had sense in terms of serious problems and heart talks.
“You’re not going to invite me with bloody training if you don’t have a problem.” Hali turned around and hit me in the straight direction of arnis, striking my belly. I immediately dodged, moved aside and fought back using a punch on his jaw. He coughed with blood as he touched his jaw. “Ouch! You used your hands again! This us arnis fight, not body fight!”
I shrugged my shoulders. I could feel the droplets of sweat beside my forehead so I wiped it with the back of my hands.
“Hi, Kings! Snack time! I brought you bread and juice.”
I closed my eyes hardly as I viewed Fira, smiling widely with her beautiful attractive glowing face.
Did I say beautiful? Damn! I kinda need water to sustain my dried throat. Am I crazy?
I managed to look away, but no matter where I viewed my eyes, it ended up gazing at her. I watched every move she made. She was giving a glass of juice to Hali, Zephyrus, Raiden, and Colden.
“Thanks, Honey Baby Babe Sweetheart.” Zephyrus grew the smirk while sipping the juice and the bastard eyes were closing as if the juice really tasted good.
I moved closer to him and hit the back of his head with my elbow, causing the juice to throw on his king garment.
“What the f*ck, Pyro! Look what you do to my handsome face and garment!” Zephyrus looked at me with the deadliest way, but when I glared back at him, he raised his hand, surrendering. “Yeah, yeah. I said I need to fix myself because my brother-”
“Let me fix that, King Wind.” Fira went closer to him while holding her handkerchief. She looked pitying at the bastard Zephyrus who was now smiling like he won a lottery.
I clenched my jaw and glared at them with a fire in my eyes. When Fira was done, Zephyrus stood up and I did not expect what he would do next. He threw the contents of the glass to my garment. I giggled my teeth and stared at him sharply.
“Oopsy, sorry.” He raised his two fingers, gesturing a peace sign and then his eyes went to Fira. “Fira, my brother also has stains on his garments. Please fix him, too!” The smirk was written on his face when Fira walked closer to me with a worry on her face.
“Oh, that’s bad.” She was about to raise her hand to touch me when I caught it. She stared at my hand holding her.
“Don’t.” I turned my back at her even though I could feel the tightening of my chest. It was suffocating every corner of my body.
I have no idea why my chest is clenching every time I avoid her. It feels like I want to see her always, but I have no option. This is Raiden’s suggestion. I believed in him, but I do not know if this is a good idea. My feeling of burning is more severe than the first burst out of fire.
“Pyro!” Fira held my arms and looked at me with her dark expression. “Why are you preventing me?”
My eyebrows wrinkled. “I’m not.”
“Really? It was obvious so don’t play with me! You are avoiding me and I don’t know the reason why! If this is something to do with last night, yes! Yes, I am mad! Janus is kind, but you burn his arm! Didn’t you have pity on him?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
I averted my look on her because I could see the welling up of the tears in the corner of her eyes. I did not want to see it.
“What? You are not answering me! You’re a king, you’re supposed to be the protector of the weak! Why did you do that to him!”
I stared at her face with no emotion written on me. “Leave me alone. Don’t come closer to me.”
“What if I don’t want to? What did you do? Burn me like what you did to Janus? How ruthless you are! Crap!”
I turned my back to her, but she followed me again, spread her arms in front of me, blocking my way and spoke again. “Don’t avoid me like this.” The tears suddenly flowed on her cheek. I watched it slowly drop. “We’re friends. Whatever the problem is, we can talk about this.”
I opened my mouth and then it closed again. I wanted to raise my hand and wipe her tears, but I had no strength to do that.
I am afraid that if I touch her, she breaks into pieces and I can not glue it again.
“Didn’t you know the concept of friend, Pyro? When there is a problem, they accompany each other, no matter how difficult it is. You can tell me. I’m not that mad. I’m almost mad, but I’m trying to hold myself because I know you will explain. You’ll tell me the reason.” The tears streamed on her face until her sobs began to be loud.
I could not understand why my heart was ripping into pieces. It felt like I did not want to see her with those liquids coming from her pain. And it intensified the feeling when the reason for her crying was me.
Is it me or Janus? No idea. But thinking of Janus the reason, that made me killed inside.
“Speak something, King Fire. Speak to me because my head is aching to think why are you avoiding me? You don’t know how difficult it is.”
I opened my mouth, but I could not burst a word so I closed it again. I needed to say something, but how? Even the letters left me.
“Maybe you don’t want to be friends with me anymore?” She looked down and let the hot liquid intensify. Her shoulder went up and down while her sobs got worse.
“What’s happening?” Zephyrus’ funny face was now serious, looking at me and then gazed at Fira. “Did you make her cry, Pyro?”
I did not expect that Fira would walk towards Zephyrus and hug him so tight. I could not move my body while watching Zephyrus raise his hands and tap Fira’s back.
Damn. I can’t hold my heart that is now aching so bad as if this will be the cause of my death.
What’s happening to me?
