Alpha King of Fire

THE SIDE STORY OF KING WATER

FIRA’S POV

I was having a bad time when I admitted to myself that Pyro was really avoiding me. There were times that I saw him in the hallway, but I was like air to him, he passed by without having a glimpse of me. I went to his room ten times a day, knocked patiently, and asked him if he needed me, there was no response. I was with them, standing at the side during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I did not see him peep on me.

It has been three weeks. Crap! Three weeks, but it felt forever!

“What should I do? I need to talk to him. I also want to ask him if he sees my father? I will beg for him to help me!” I was stomping my feet on the ground with annoyance on my face while washing dishes. Cass was beside me listening.

“My suggestion, create a hot chocolate. I heard that King Fire loves that. He will talk to you if you knock on his door with that chocolate.” She grabbed the fragile glass and arranged it on the tray.

“Crap! Yes, I’ll do that.” I immediately grabbed the ingredients and boiled them.

“What are you doing?”

I almost jumped when I heard Saza behind me. The shake crawled all over my body. I opened my mouth and then gulped a saliva before I talked. “Ahm.” I scratched my head.

There were no words coming out of my mouth.

“King Fire asked her to create a hot chocolate.” Cass suddenly answered.

I got a sigh of relief when Saza nodded, accepting our reason. “Don’t put too much water. He wants gooey.”

We both blew a sigh of relaxation as Saza walked away without suspecting us. “Thank you, Cass.”

I continued making hot chocolate. When I was done, I immediately proceeded to the King Fire’s room.

“No people allowed-” I cut Seryo’s words.

“Shh! You’re negative, Seryo. For sure King Fire would not resist the hot chocolates! Yohoo!” There was a playful tone in my lines. “This is hot, sweet, yummy, delicious, delightful! Hmm! I can smell the good aroma of the grind cacao!”

I would not expect that the door would open. Pyro was peeping on me with his one eye. That made me chuckle a bit. “Okay, King Fire allowed me to come in! This way-”

“Just put the hot chocolate on the table and leave.”

I never got tired of giving him my beautiful smile although he was not looking at me. Always ignoring my presence. He was like a girl who was sulky to his boyfriend and wanted a cuddle.

“Pyro, until when do you plan to ignore me so I will go back if you already want to talk to me?” I gave him a grin.

He was sitting on the bed and looking at the liquid chocolate. He did not give me a response.

I sat on his bed and played with the foam. The bed was bouncing up and down. He showed me no emotion.

“Please, talk to me.” I moved closer to him. I was gluing my body to his side. I wrapped my hands on his arm and leaned my head on his shoulder. “I’m not mad. I swear.”

I could feel the freezing of his body. He was still silent, closed mouth.

“I need you because I’m going crazy. I still can’t find my father. I need a friend.”

He blew a loud sigh. I was startled when his hand raised up and tapped my cheek in a gentle way. “Sorry for doing that to your friend.”

Finally, he talked to me! He just only needs a cuddle, huh? Oh, crap! I’m so happy.

“That’s fine. Just don’t repeat that.”

“I can’t swear. I have no control of my power at times.”

I lifted my head and stared at his face. He was freaking handsome with his side view. I could see the perfection in his features.

Suddenly, my heart pumped so recklessly. I enjoyed seeing his nice looking figure.

“You’re staring. That’s rude.” He did not lol at me.

My eyebrows wrinkled when I saw the blush on his face. “Do you have a fever?” I immediately touched his forehead and neck. “Normal temperature. Why is your face red?”

“Don’t know.” He stood up, looking away from my face and sat in front of the table. “You cooked this?”

“Yes! Try that. I grind the cacao and put in a bit of water because you want gooey. I tasted that and it’s heaven in my tongue!” I grabbed the spoon and got a small amount of chocolate. I blew it so when I moved closer to his mouth, it would not be that hot.

I moved near the teaspoon to his mouth. He just stared at that at first. “I’m not a baby.” He averted his look. The blush on his face was getting severe.

A loud chuckle of me filled the room. “Ahh! I know! I know!” I pointed at his face. “You are blushing because you’re shy! I thought you had a fever or were sick again.” I laughed so loud.

He was so cute with his red face. I have never seen a guy with that adorable look before and I found Pyro attractive.

“You can go now, Fira.” He said that while having a look with the chocolate. He was trying to ignore the sound of my happiness.

“We’re good again, right?” I ensured that we were fine before I would leave.

“Yeah.” He looked at my face, but it was just a second. He averted his eyes suddenly.

I had no idea why Pyro was getting weird these past few days? I thought it was about what he did to Janus, but there was something deeper.

“Thank you.” I bent down to hug his shoulder while he was sitting with his back facing me.

“You badly want a friend?” He held my lower arm and caressed it in a gently up and down movement.

“Yes. I’m so down.”

“Get up, then.”

A chuckle came out of my mouth. “You know how to joke now?”

“I just tried.” I could see the beaming grin on his lips.

“Good thing, you tried. Anyway…” I grabbed a cup of chocolate. “Drink this as long as the temperature is not yet low. It tastes better when it’s hot.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“By the way, did you see my father? Or have you heard the news?” I forgot that I needed to go. It was just that I enjoyed talking to Pyro because I missed him.

Crap, I admit! I miss him so freaking bad.

“I heard that he went to the cliff. I went there, but he was not around. I’ll keep finding him.”

“Thank you! You’re the best!”

He just nodded and started to grab the cup and sipped it. I saw that he closed his eyes, that means he really loved the taste.

“Thank you for this, Fira.”

“No problem! I gotta go!”

“Sure thing.” He watched me step out. I waved my hands with a big smile when I finally got out of his room.

I saw the kings on their way to Pyro, that was why I bowed and greeted them.

“Pyro talked to you? That smile.” Zephyrus observed the expression in my face.

My smile became wider. “Yeah, your majesty. I got him with the hot chocolates.”

“Pyro is pyro. That’s a good strategy.” Hali shook his head. I found him fresh. Maybe he came from the excessive training and took his bath.

“Well… Zarya should not give you chocolates. You hated that much.” Raiden shrugged and passed us.

My mouth was itching. I wanted to ask them who is Zarya?

When they all passed me by, I grabbed Zephyrus arm. We were so close that even his food was shared with me. I found a best friend in the figure of King Wind.

“What?” Zephyrus gave me a playful smile. “Don’t tell me you find me handsome?”

I chuckled a bit. I was allergic to the silence and confusion so I asked what I desired. “Who is Zarya?”

“Ah!” He shook his head in an up and down direction. “Beta. She’s one of the brave strong Beta, but the most rude and serious one. She’s not here today. She got a mission.”

“Ah!” I nodded, too, like what he did before. “So what’s up with him and King Water?”

Zephyrus raised his two hands and clapped one time. “My suspicion is they like each other, but not proven. So I’m going to investigate!”

We both chuckle. Zephyrus is crazy.
