Chapter 44 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

PYRO'S POV

After I drank the hot chocolates, I traveled towards Hali's room. I was about to knock when I heard that there were two people inside. They were arguing about something.

"I'm gonna kick your ass until you can't walk anymore!" I heard the voice of a woman.

"Zarya, it's not what you think."

My eyebrows furrowed as I heard how sweet Hali's voice was. I have never heard him cuddling or using such a sweet tone to anyone, except to her mom.

I hid at the wall when I heard footsteps going to the door. I peeped and saw that Zarya was marching out of the room. She is Hali's beta, one of the strongest beta.

When the door shut again, I knocked.

"Leave me alone!" Hali shouted from the inside. I thought he was encountering disaster right now.

I moved my mouth on the door and talked. "It's Pyro."

"What do you need?" He did not open the door. The footsteps were getting near.

When the door burst opened, I could see the frustration on his face. "Don't you have training today?"

"You join me?" Hali asked back. "You had a bad day, too?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Come on, Bud." He tapped my shoulder. We walked in the hallway, going to the outdoor training area. "What makes your day worse?"

"Nothing." In an instant, I could feel my mouth was not capable of talking again. I felt like not saying anything because it might change my mood again. I was supposed to make sure that emotions were under control.

"You hear about Zarya, don't you?" Suddenly, he asked again. His face was not looking at me, he was gazing in front, in our way.

"Didn't." I gasped for air and blew it out. I felt that the atmosphere between us was heavy. Maybe something annoying was happening.

"She wants to attack those murderers alone. You think she can do that? She is supposed to train more before she can get her revenge." I watched the palm of Hali, it slowly closed. Obviously, he was giggling. "I want to take revenge, but she wants to do that without me."

"Why are you telling that to me?" Honestly, Hali would not tell details to me like that unless he was trusting me. I mean, we were trusting our brothers, but like the usual relationship, we had favorites—favorite friends.

My special buddy is Colden because I believe that he needs more attention than any of us. He needs care and guidance throughout his life.

"I'm telling this to you because I know you'll not tease me." A grin was slowly forming on his lips. "You think if I tell this to Zephyrus, my world would be peaceful? Nope. That's why I chose you."

I shook my head. A smile drew on my lips. "You're right."

We were smiling as we arrived outdoors. "I'm tired of training, Pyro."

"You need that now." I grabbed the exclusive arnis for the Alpha King of Water and threw it to him. He caught it effortlessly.

I grabbed mine and immediately jumped towards him and hit him.

"Ouch!" He touched his hand that strikes my arnis.

"Attention."

"You are a cheater! I'm not yet declared that I'm ready." He shook his hand in the air.

"Why? If the enemy attacks us, can we say 'we are not yet ready, time first' do we?" My expression was just serious, but I did not know why Hali burst out a loud laugh. I could see his tonsil.

"Why are you laughing?" The confusion was written on my face. I stepped closer to him, but I immediately dodged when he struck me. Unfortunately, I was good at dodging so I smirked at him.

"Pyro, you are good at teaching me. You didn't know, but I got what you're telling me. The realization hits me if your mouth opens and says a word." He moved around and leaped to punch me on the face.

For the first time, he got one shot at me. I gave him a small smile even though my lips were aching. I used my thumb to wipe the blood in my lower lip. I could feel the sharp stinging pain in it.

"Good job, Hali." I put my arnis on the side. "Do you want to climb in my favorite tree?"

"I'm not good at climbing, but it's an honor to be at your place." He ran towards the tree and shook it as he usually does. The leaves were falling and he chuckled happily.

"Don't shake it! The birds are going away."

"That's the purpose. I don't want to see big birds on the tree. I want to see their eggs. Come on! Help me to climb." He grabbed my upper arms and bent me down. "I'll stomp on your shoulder."

"No way! You should learn how to climb—" I gritted my teeth as he stomped on my shoulder while chuckling. He was one of the big men and his weight was bothering me. Good thing, I could lift him up because I was strong.

He touched the branch, raised his feet and hung his body. He could not touch the huge branch that was why I chuckled.

"Why is it f*cking hard to climb in the tree? I hope thing thing is easy as poking my c*ck to holes."

I punched his feet, but he dodged that was why I could not reach him again. He was now sitting in my favorite position.

"Thanks, Pyro. Now I don't know how to go down!" He was folding his arms below his chest. It was fun to see Hali on the tree. "But this place seems peaceful. I can see the beautiful spotless sky with flying birds."

I was looking up at him. I was watching what he was doing before I climbed in an instant and sat beside him.

"I thought you don't want birds?"

"I didn't say that." He crawled to the other side of the branch. He was looking for something. "Hey, Birdy. Where are your balls?"

I kicked him, almost making him fall. Fortunately, he could clung his hands on the main branch.

"You are a pervert! What balls are you talking about?"

He smirked and then went back to a comfortable position while crawling. "Balls. The bird's egg."

I scratched my forehead. "I thought…"

"Your mind is green, Pyro. Didn't you try to bury your shaft in Fira—ouch!" I threw a small branch to his face that landed on his forehead. "That hurts."

"Deserved."

"Look, Pyro! Look! Come here!" I saw a big radiating smile on Hali's face while looking at the nest.

I slithered faster towards him. A beaming smile grew on my lips as I saw three eggs and two little cute birds.

The birds have gray in color with the spot of white. Their peaks opened as if they were asking for the mother to give them food.

"Wow! I have never seen one as beautiful as these." Hali touched the head of the adorable little bird using his index finger and caressed it. "You're so cute, Honey. I will always go here to look after you."

"You mean you're gonna disturb me while sitting here?"

"Now, I understand why you love to climb in this tree."

"Yeah. Peaceful and relaxing. That is how nature affects me."

Hali held the small bird in his hand. He was giving extra care to that. "If only I can get you and wrap you as a gift so that Zarya will not be mad at me."

My heart was light as I watched Hali taking care of the little one. We heard the humming of the birds. The sound was not aching my ear, I loved it instead. The bird like Fira, brightens my day.

Hali is the guy who hates relaxation. He always wants to train and train, not getting tired of that. He is a man who can not sit and be calm. Except dancing, that is all he does.

Seeing him pampering the baby bird is a good scene, a positive feeling to my whole system, radiating to my cold expression that was now smiling as I viewed him.

"Thank you, Pyro. I never think that life is beautiful as it is."
