Chapter 65
FREEDOM DAY VI
FIRA’S POV
My heart was pounding so loud, reckless and was about to go out from my chest. My eyes were gradually becoming small as he moved again, our lips were a little distance. He tilted his lips as he slowly went near again. I was gasping for air, the nervousness was crawling through my body. I felt my body trembling, not sacred, but excited.
Excited to feel his lips again on mine.
As he moved closer again, I prepared myself for the union of our lips. I felt that the Earth stopped spinning. He was about to kiss me when suddenly…
“Boo!” Someone pushed the swing, resulting in me slamming on Pyro’s neck.
We both looked at my back. Zephyrus was there, laughing so hard with the other kings beside him.
“Level up. You’re gonna kiss in the playground? Oh, sorry, I am the killjoy king!” Zephyrus ran towards Pyro and kissed him on the cheek. “Kiss me, too, Baby Honey Sweet Brother!”
That made the kings laughed. Colden was showing me his kind smile. Raiden was laughing at this time. Hali was chuckling while his arms were folded.
My look brought back to Pyro, he was so annoyed while wiping his cheek with his palm. “You’re gross!” He kicked Zephyrus thigh, but he just dodged, being boastful as Pyro could not hit him. “What are you four doing here!”
“Are we prohibited from going into the city, King Fire?” Hali was raising his eyebrows. He walked closer to the swing beside me and pushed it.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Crazy Zephyrus sat on his lap. Hali was not annoyed by his act, he grabbed his waist instead, Zephyrus was sitting on him with Hali facing his back. They swung happily.
Colden went closer to me, he tapped my shoulder. “Your sister is in the river with another man. She has a date.”
“Really?” I watched his emotions. There was something. He was hiding something from me. “Did you invite her tonight?”
“Yes, she said she has already planned.” He showed me a sad smile.
What was happening between them? I just heard that my sister was not assigned to him, the next day Eira was so devastated, sitting alone, thinking deeply. Sleeping the whole day during the day off. I was worried, but when I was asking her, she said she was just tired.
Smells fishy between them. Well… whatever it was… I am out.
“Okay. Damn! Our date is ruined. Thanks to all of you, Brothers!” The sarcasm was in Pyro’s voice.
“We’re bad. This is Pyro’s first time having a date and then we distracted them!” Zephyrus said while swaying. He was still with Hali. “But sorry, Pyro’s, it was fun to disturb you.” King Wind’s chuckle filled the area.
Pyro grabbed a small stone and threw it on Zephyrus. I was amused when Zephyrus just opened his palm. In one second, he caught the stone in his fist.
He is a good catcher.
Suddenly, I heard Zephyrus sigh as if he was so frustrated. “I have a date tonight. I should have! But she doesn’t want to be with me. Where is the justice in that?”
“She dislikes you because you love f*cking pussies!” Hali shouted at exactly his ears.
Zephyrus covered his ear and then shook it. His mouth went to Hali’s ear and shouted, too. “Ahh!”
They were both crazy, screaming in one’s ear. While they were busy conversing, Pyro held my hand. “Let’s escape.”
I chuckled cutely. We slowly stepped away from them without them noticing us. We ran and ran until we were far distance from the kings.
We rode on a bus and stopped over at the waiting shed. Pyro was brought into the festival of music. There were musicians at every one kilometer corner of the road. Somewhere using guitars, drums, flute and others. We stopped at the man pianist. People were surrounding the man while he was playing piano.
I watched the wide captivating smile of Pyro as he watched how the man hit the piano. I heard him murmuring the exact keys of it. That means he really loved that thing.
I enveloped my hand on his arm as the people crowded. I realized that the city had plenty of humans, talented humans.
We stayed with the pianist for a minute. We went to the woman who was selling barbecue afterward. We immediately ran as we saw that we only had thirty minutes. God thing that we arrived at the tunnel within ten minutes. We were both panting as we walked inside it.
“Did you enjoy our date?” Pyro asked sweetly.
“It is the best day of my life!”
“I want you to see something.” He used his index finger to point a zigzag in the air. The small flying lights of fire, played with the tunnel like fireflies, it gave us a light.
“Wow! That’s so beautiful! Thank you so much, my king!” I jumped as I hugged him.
I was not sure what was between us, what I was sure of was we were glad when we were each other’s side.
I could feel the jumping of my heart in the very sight of it. We walked forward as happiness was filling my whole system.
We conversed a lot. We did not notice that we finally arrived at the Elemental Kingdom. Some guards saw us, but Pyro threatened them if they told his father.
After a tiring date, he brought me to the Omega’s Quarter. We both looked at each other’s faces for a second. “Thank you.” There was a shyness in my voice.
“Thank you, too.” Pyro gave me a kiss on my forehead. “See you then.”
“See you!” I waved my hand as he said his farewell. I watched him going away from me until his figure could not be seen anymore.
“You date him?” I was shocked when Eira’s glare greeted me as I was about to enter our room.
I kept silent.
“How many times do I need to tell you that they are all monsters! If you fall in love with him, you’re just going to hurt yourself! We are low born! They are royals!” She was pushing those words to my head as if I was not aware of. “What if you punish of being close with him? What would happen to me! Our father was gone, and you…” She palmed her face in frustration. “Please.”
“I understand everything. I know, but I can’t ignore him. Pyro is special to me.”
“Pyro? He is King Fire! Not Pyro! Wake up! You are dreaming!”
I shook my head and looked at Eira in disbelief. She was always telling me to be positive, but now, she was pushing me down, belittling our status. Those words were like a sharp thong that stabbed into my heart.
“What comes to mind, Eira? Why are you so mad?” The spark of eagerness for me to know what happened to her was high.
“Just… listen to me. This is for your safety.” She looked away, viewing the mirror. “I’ll be crazy if I lose you, you’re my only family.”
“Our father is still-”
“He left us. He didn’t care about us! So don’t say that we still have a father! Because if we have, where is he?” Eira walked to the bed and laid herself on it. She looked so sad, angry and devastated.
“Eira?” I sat on the bed. I was facing her back. I stroked her hair in a gentle way. “I’ll not leave you. Trust me. King Fire is different. He never hurt me.”
She moved up, cupped my cheek and held my hands. Our hands were on her thigh. “I’m not saying he’ll hurt you because if you’re special to him he will protect you, but King Arealdo can order an execution. He has the power to punish you if he knows. Or worse he kills you.” She paused, looked at me directly into the eyes, the concern was written on his face. “What’s the status of your relationship with King Fire?”
“Pyro and I are just…” I was finding a word in my head.
What are we? I have no idea how to answer that question. We dated, laughed, and hugged-my face felt hot as I remembered that he kissed me.
So what are we again? I don’t know.
“Maybe we are just friends?”
“Friends? You date him? How come?” The irritation filled Eira’s face. “Did he tell you he likes you?”
I shook my head. Then, I found something exciting about what he told me. “But he told me he’s attracted to me.” I was proud to say that.
“Still, you need to move away from him. King Arealdo will soon find out. He hates omegas.”
My chest covered with nervousness. Why do I feel that Eira is somehow correct?
