+ YOUR HAND IS ASKING MINE ON ITS OWN, IF
THIS IS ALL WE'RE EVER GONNA NEED, THE YOUNGEST
HEARTS ARE NEVER GETTING OLD. [ super m - with you ]
"You both, stay front. I'll attract them. Meet me upstairs." Thunder orders them, and his eyes narrow at the sight of Cyclone gripping Solar's wrist, as he had just saved the human boy from getting dismembered by the electrifying doorway. "What the hell are you both doing?"
"E-Eh?" Solar look down at their hands, and he wriggles away from surprise. He could feel the Second Wonder's glare boring into his cheeks, "T-This wasn't intended."
Is he jealous? Solar thinks in surprise, Of our hands?
With a little tease, the boy asks, "Oh~? Are you jealous?"
An irk mark appears on the Wonder's temple. Cyclone looks at them, back-and-forth, completely clueless on what they're talking about. Solar chuckles lightly, "Looks like you are, Thundy."
"Whatever." Thunder rolls his eyes, and walks between them, bumping shoulders with the shorter Solar, who winces at the impact. "You both better get going. I don't have time all day." He looks at the spirit's broad back and snorts at the sight of it.
He's super jealous. Solar grins mischievously, So obvious.
"Okay then!" He forgot all about the cheery boy next to him, and turns to the smiling Cyclone, "You can trust me on this. I memorized the layout. We're going to have to escape without getting caught!"
"You mean, you haven't cleared the building?"
"We only knocked them out unconscious." Cyclone shrugs in reply, and leads the opposite direction where his twin left, "I don't think there's a reason to annihilate them completely." The use of the complex word rendered Solar speechless. "So, yeah!"
"Okay, but what if we do get caught?"
"Die, I guess." Cyclone says lightly, skipping up the stairs.
Solar chokes on his own spit, "E-Excuse me?!"
"Wakey, wakey, Mr. Blazey!"
A shout wakes the said boy up, with him sweating from top to bottom, a hand over his chest both in shock and disbelief. Blaze blinks, jaw slacking at the sight of Thorn floating upside-down in front of him. "Oh, it actually worked! Good morning, hothead!"
He ignores the nickname, "Why am I still alive?"
"About that.. ask Ice." Thorn pats the boy on the back, "He brought you here this morning, so don't worry. You've only been out for 2 days, there's nothing much you missed!"
Two days..?! "HUH?! What did you say?"
"Why are you so surprised?" The Sixth Wonder stuck his tongue out, "You were dying, let me tell you that. If Ice wasn't there to give you first-aid, you would've died instantly! Poof," The latter drew an imaginary cloud in the air, "Just like that! Gone."
"You could've worded it better, Thorn."
"But I don't want to, Blazie~!"
The brunette inhales sharply at the sound of his name. "Whatever. But how can Ice leave the school? Isn't he.. tied with it? That's what he told me last time- when I tried to take him out for some cafe dinner. Oh wait, did he lie to me about it?"
"Dunno. Maybeeeee~," Thorn drags the e out annoyingly, as he pokes his finger repeatedly at Blaze's left cheek, "What do you think? You were the one who summoned him, you iguana."
Another huh came from the boy's lips. "Me?"
"Yeah. You. Who else am I calling an iguana? Do you pref-"
"But I'm just a human who shares the Wonder title." Blaze cocks his head to the right, avoiding another jab at his flesh, "Humans shouldn't be able to summon spirits, right? Unless it's like you," He looks at Thorn, "Since you show yourself to humans."
"Did you just expose me?" He gasps dramatically.
Blaze slaps Thorn on the arm, "Stop playing around, you idiot!"
"Fine, fine!" A vexed expression crosses the supernatural's face, "I'll answer your curious butt about it! First of all, Ice put a seal into your coat." Thorn lowers his head, his breath tickling against Blaze's nose, and the boy turns all red from the sudden move.
He reaches into Blaze's inner pocket and takes out a slip of paper, shifting away. "This!" He says, holding up the seal with a bold 召 on it.
"I can't read Chinese." The boy admits.
"Pretty sure its Korean." Thorn retorts, "But apparently it comes from a foreign market, so I doubt that it's something we can understand. Anyway," He flicks the paper away onto the space next to Blaze, "It's a seal that calls people."
"You mean it teleports people?"
"Are you trying to convince me otherwise?"
Blaze sews his mouth shut, and Thorn continues, "It activates when one calls someone by their name during the time of their death. In this case," He examines the fiery boy up-and-down, "You probably wished for Ice to be there by your side."
"H-How.." The Third Wonder stutters, "Did you know?"
"How stupid can you be? I just said it!"
Obviously, the human boy didn't understand a single bit. Thorn snorts, "Seriously! I thought you were better than this, Blaze. Two days probably rotted your brain cells away, hmm~?"
"Shut up, rat." Blaze growls, "I still have them."
The Sixth Wonder snorts, averting his gaze away with both shoulders rised, "Sure, sure, kid! Whatever you say.. and also, Solar's back here. He's been waiting for you."
"Solar? He's already saved? B-But I thought.."
"Oh my goodness," Thorn places a hand on his forehead, tapping it slightly, "I can't believe that Ice decided to take you in from the corner of that street the first time we met!"
Blaze snaps back, "Well, plot twist— he diDN't!"
"Urgh, get out of my room."
They continue to squabble, throwing insults at each other. A compilation of rat, ass, and stupid follows along with them, as the duo made their way down to the general hall, where everyone else had been sitting impatiently.
They've all been waiting for Blaze's awakening for a concerning 2 days. Cyclone, who's hearing was the most aware of others, looked up.
"Ah— BLAZIE!" A huge smile was on his face.
Everyone turns to see the boy, who know felt awkward in front of 6 pairs of orbs. Even Solar was there, who let out an exhale of relief and beams softly.
"Hey guys." The Third Wonder greets them, waving a hand in the air, and couldn't help but feel welcomed in his mixed family. "I'm back, I guess?"
Earthquake rose from her chair, tears brimming in her eyes out of happiness. "Welcome back home, Blaze."
Thunder crosses his arms with a smirk, "About time."
"I still haven't forgiven you two for it!" Blaze felt the anger bubble up in his self, and without a warning, he charges down the stairs, raising his weapons at Thunderstorm and Cyclone, who widens their eyes in surprise. "I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!"
Ice steps in front of them with a frown, stopping his brother in an instant. "We just got back together," He flicks his temple, "Don't you think we deserve a party?"
"Parties?!" Cyclone and Thorn shouts, thrilled.
"Hell no." Thunderstorm and Solar interjects.
Earthquake giggles, her brown eyes filled with every emotion, warmth spreading in her heart. After all these years, she has finally found the group she'd call as home. The only people that would ever make her feel complete.
Smiles were deeply engraved on their faces.
The Seven Wonders are finally together again.
