Chapter 49 DATE ME

PYRO'S POV

Hali and I were wincing our faces as we walked out from the courtroom. I pleaded to our father to make the slashes half to me and half to him. We were both punished like hell. I never shouted, but Hali's scream made me worry about him.

"You, good?"

He winked at me before wrapping his arms on my shoulder. "Yup."

"You are screaming like a woman."

He messed up my hair. "I am just doing that so that the guard would lower the slash. It's not that painful. I'm used to these slashes."

I observed the expression in his face. I could only see the light in him as if he did something heroic today.

"Did you know that Zarya likes you?"

"What the damn are you talking about! Stop kidding around." I could not help, but to say long words, just for now.

"I saved your ass so I have a favor for you. You think that I will do some sh*ts without paying me back in return? I saved your beloved Fira and now...you need to do something for me."

"What the damn, Dude! Don't tell me I'm gonna date a woman for your Zarya to see that I am taken?"

"Exactly!" He clicked his finger in front of my face. "You're so smart, but not that smart as Raiden." He chuckled with his eyes closed. "For sure you'll like it." A grin grew on his lips.

"Oh, Damn. Don't grin like that. For sure it's not gonna be funny."

Since Hali did something for Fira, I had no choice, but to entertain him. Talk to him even if I did not want to.

"I'm not Zephyrus to do some naughty things. Yeah, sometimes I am, but not to all women I met. Just…" He tapped my shoulder and gave me a big smile, "date Fira."

"Hali, how can I do that? Fira has a boyfriend."

"That's not my problem." He shrugged and was about to leave me when I blocked his way.

"Any favor, not that one." I felt like talking so much because I could not do what he wanted.

"Are you scared, King Fire?" He showed me the most teaseful expression he would ever be that almost...almost the same as the annoying face of Zephyrus.

"I'm not, but you know. I didn't want to ruin the relationship of Fira with Janus."

"Oh, come on, Pyro. A king can steal a woman she likes." He turned his back to me and ran so fast, so that I could not get him.

"Like? Yes, I like her as a friend." I whispered to myself while walking, swaying because my back was aching so freaking bad.

When I got to my room, I was trying to move gently because everytime I forced myself, the pain became severe.

"King Fire, Fira is here."

I had no energy to open my mouth, but when it came to Fira, I managed to speak. "Let her in."

"Hi." By seeing her radiating smile that made me stretch my lips into small eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

She raised the medical kit. "To treat you." When she sat on the chair beside me, she blew a sigh. "I'm sorry about what I said to you."

"No worries."

"Your majesty, give me your back. Remove your garments."

I prevented my lips from smiling. She was like my mother, always taking care of me, especially when I was sick.

"Our play in the kitchen is one of the best things that I will treasure! I've never done such a thing because I have no friends. They don't want to play with me because I'm a low born omega."

I forgot the pain in my back due to her soothing voice. When it was Fira, she would never be a noise or a distraction to me.

Actually, I was enjoying hearing her stories while she was on my back, cleaning it with cotton and medicine.

"Mom said...we may be low born, but we have a high class heart. I'll never forget that line because until now, I'm holding to that."

I twisted my body to face her. She stared at my eyes. I felt like the blinking of her eyes was slow motion.

"I have never seen someone's beautiful eyes as yours." I prohibited my hands from raising up and cupped her check. That may give her confusion.

As I gazed at her, I could feel my heart. It was jumping hyperly. My eyebrows suddenly formed a waves as I realized that I felt nervous.

Am I scared of Fira? No. It's not that. Am I afraid when she's so near? My feelings are unknown.

Nevermind.

She moved closer, touched the skin below my eyes. I was frozen by her gesture. I did everything to make my system calm. My heart was rapidly pumping.

"Are your eyes blurry?" She chuckled. It was like music to my ear.

I cleared my throat and managed to speak. "Why?"

"I'm not beautiful. You should check your eyes." She was chuckling as she stood up. "Don't put your garments on, I'll be back again later."

"Okay?" I looked away from her face because the longer I stared, the more gorgeous she looked in my eyes.

"Bye, my king!" She waved her hands, walked to the door and gave me a smile before she finally went out.

I gazed at the door for so long. I held my chest and massaged it. I forgot that my back was aching due to an unknown sensation that I was feeling for Fira.

Suddenly, I had no idea why a smile grew on my lips as my mind thought that she took care of me again. She was always doing that and I liked it.

I hate everyone's care, my mom and Fira are exceptions.

"Ohh!" I palmed my face as I remembered what Hali said to me. I should have asked Fira on a date. If I could do that, how should I prepare? Where in the world our first date would be held?

I scratched my head. I felt like my brain was messed up.

What's so special about that? It's just a deal for Hali.

Damn. My first problem is how can I ask her? It's embarrassing.

I immediately stood up and ran faster to follow Fira. I saw her on the hallway.

"Fira."

I felt like everything had a slow motion when she gradually looked on her back, her hair flipped in the air and her lips were stretched into a big nice looking smile.

"Do you need something, your majesty?"

I gulped my saliva, cleared my throat and my mouth opened. "Date me."
