"Douglas, you have to help me."

Douglas poured his tea while hearing Lyon’s plea. He turned around to greet the ice make mage. “Lyon Vastia, age 24,” he said, lighting his pipe and setting down his tea. “Ice make mage, ace member of the Lamia Scale guild, former student of ice make master Ur. We have never formally spoken to one another, and our only connection is our shared affiliation with Gray Fullbuster. So, why come to the enigmatic Douglas Murdoch for help?”

[muse-multiverse]

“Well, obvious to me, at least,” Douglas said, sipping his tea. “And that is true, I probably will not tell her, but I am unsure how you want me to help you with these matters.”

[glacefaire]

“Well you have to know something that’s helpful! At this point I could make do with anything!”

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

“Just as gentle as always...”

[glacefaire]

“Well… Gray isn’t our only shared affiliation… And it kind of involves him, in a sense… Uh…” The Ice-Make Mage stuttered, “I’m kind of, um…” He swallowed hard and blurted out, “I’m in love with Sora!”

[muse-multiverse]

“I’m aware,” he said, allowing a puff of smoke to drift into the air in three rings. “We have only interacted a sparse few times, and every time, I was with Sora, and every time I saw you giving her the ol’ puppy eyes when you thought no one was looking. There are far more capable people who can help you with this task, so once again; why me?”

[glacefaire]

“Wait, it’s that obvious?!” Then did Sora already know about his feelings for her? “Well, you’re her friend, and you’re probably the least likely to tell her, right...?” This was starting to seem like a worse and worse idea the more he talked.

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

“Very well, I’ll stop.”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

“If only that was your only similarity.”

[glacefaire]

“It’s strange how similar you are to Gray sometimes.”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

“You never change, do you?”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

“Oh so now you’re making fun of my magic?”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

"You're hair's messed up. Here, let me fix it."

“My hair isn’t messed up it just looks like this, asshole.”

[glacefaire]

Smooth, dumbass

“I just meant, uh, s-sorry...”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Lyon! What the hell are you doing?!” Sora snapped at him, having grabbed an umbrella and run downstairs. “You idiot, you’re gonna get sick!” She hurried over to him and held the umbrella over them both, “What were you thinking, moron?!”

[glacefaire]

He couldn’t help but let out a little laugh, “I was thinking I was the biggest idiot in the world.” Lyon cupped her face with his hands and brought her into a kiss, not caring what happened now. He couldn’t just pretend like nothing happened between them, even if she broke his heart this had to happen now.

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Nothing happened between me and Lyon, now stop asking before I drive my rapier through your skull. Are we clear?” Sora scoffed, chewing on the end of a dango stick as she sat on Keyra’s couch, “You know it’s probably your fault I’m so damn nosy.”

“Alright, well if nothing happened, why is he throwing little bits of ice at my window?” Keyra nodded outside, to get her to look.

“Wait, what?”

[glacefaire]

“This better work, I look like a moron out here...” Lyon muttered, chucking another piece of ice at the third-floor window this side of the building. There were probably better ways to get her attention, and some that probably involved him not getting completely soaked in the rain, and yet here he was. Looking like a moron.

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“I ah… I’m sure you will.” She nodded to Lyon, before walking over to Keyra and taking an umbrella from him.

“Something happen between you and the ice queen?” He questioned, raising an eyebrow at her as they walked to his apartment.

“It’s nothing important, I promise.” Sora shook her head, sighing, “Just the rain is all.”

[glacefaire]

“I’m such a moron...” Lyon muttered, walking alone in the rain. Why did he do that? He shouldn’t have done that, if anything he ruined everything between the two of them now. Not to mention it was probably too late to turn around and go after her now. 

“Well... I’ve already screwed everything up... May as well have her say it to my face.” He grumbled, turning on his heels and hurrying down the street. She’d mentioned she’d be staying at Keyra’s apartment, and Lyon knew all too well where that was.

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Yes, I’m sure he is.” Sora nodded, running a hand through her hair, “Ah, thank you. For sitting with me, that is.” She quickly added, as they got off the train. “Rain, even. Just my luck it would seem.”

[glacefaire]

“Yes, of course, I... Yes.” He nodded in return to her thanks, “The rain isn’t so bad, however it’s been my experience that Earth Mages don’t exactly mix well with it.” He nodded over to a blue haired male standing not far from them with two umbrellas, “Though it seems Keyra was prepared for you.”

In a slight act of bravery, he took her hand in his quickly and brought it to his lips, lingering for just a moment, “I hope to see you soon.”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Don’t… Apologize…” She shook her head, “Lyon, don’t worry about it. We can just forget it happened.” Only she wouldn’t ever actually forget, and it would make it impossible for anything to be normal between them ever again.

[glacefaire]

“Right. That would... Make things easier, I’m sure...” He cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. Nothing would be easy between them though, of course it wouldn’t. It would always be awkward now. “Come. I’m sure Keyra is waiting for you.”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Ah… Right… Yes, of course…” She nodded, chewing her bottom lip. Why did he have to kiss her? Why couldn’t she have just slept through it? Why didn’t she just kiss him back…? They were probably going to sit in awkward silence the rest of the ride now, at least so she assumed.

[glacefaire]

And sit in awkward silence they did the rest of the way. Entirely because he was stupid enough to kiss her when he knew there would never be anything between them. He only spoke again once they finally reached their stop. “Sora... I... I’m sorry...”

[archived-tachinowarui-yatsu]

“Well… I… Ah…” She cleared her throat, looking away from him. Sure, they had pretended to be dating while Lyon taught her Ice-Make magic, but that was just to piss her brother off. There weren’t any feelings there… Right…? 

[glacefaire]

Of course this would happen to him. They were never really dating, there wasn’t supposed to be anything between them, and yet here he was falling in love with her. Well, she hasn’t hurt him yet, so it was probably best to just completely switch topics.

“W-We should be arriving in Margaret Town soon...”
