Fears and Love?:: Magic

                Ever since kindergarten you’ve been afraid of magic of any sort, spells and mythical creatures alike. When you and one of your friends were playing in the forest beside our house. You guys were playing hide and seek, but were lured deeper in by a strange light emanating from deep inside the forest. That light that you had and your friend had saw drew both of you to the source of and possible danger. You guys saw a young adult scared the crap out of you two with his magic so much that you vowed you would never enjoy magic as long as you live.

~Flashback brought to you be Mr. Popo~

                “[Name], do you want to play a game?” [F/N] called out to you as you sat on the chair in your backyard.

                “Sure! What game are we going to be playing?” You questioned with innocence.

                “Hide and seek! With this many trees around it’ll be fun,” She told you ecstatically.

                “That will be fun. Whose it?” You asked.

                “Me. Since I was the one who wanted to play I have to be it!” She said jumping up and down like a kangaroo on steroids.

                “’Kay. Count to 50 then come to find me,” You shouted running off into the forest in hopes of finding the perfect hiding spot.

                Deeper into the forest you went, to find that perfect hiding spot among the trees. (A/N Sounds like a fairy tale kind of thing) Yet, as you went farther and deeper into the forest you saw the surrounding areas get darker and it wasn’t because of the trees. As you crew closer to the center of the forest you spotted a tree with low hanging branches.

                “That’s the perfect tree to hide in.” You thought to yourself as you gazed up at the large tree.

                “READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!!!” You hear [F/N] call out to you in the background and you quickly turned your attention to what she said.

                “Yeep. Better hide before fast.” You thought to yourself as you quickly scaled the tree. Your friend was right below you as you just got settled in the tree. As she walked around aimlessly around the tree you had to hold in a laugh.

    “There you are [Name]! Come down!” [F/N] called out to you, looking up as she heard you laughing under your breath. There was a sudden bright that entranced the both of you as you came down from the tree.

    “Hey [F/N], let’s go and find the source of the light!” You shouted as you grabbed her hand and dragged her along. Luckily, it wasn’t very long till you reached the source of the light.

                In the center of the lush green forest, you two found a rather young teen standing in the middle of a magic circle. He had light blonde hair, dull blue eyes, wore a dark royal blue uniform, a cross fashioned on his left forehead keeping his hair back, and a mysterious green aura surrounding him.

                “What’s he doin’?” You asked your friend.

                “I don’t know,” [F/N] said in a hushed voice.

                “I can hear you two. Why don’t you come out now,” The male said never removing his eyes from the book in front of him that seemed to be levitating. You and [F/N] stepped out from behind the tree and into his open view. “My name is Lukas. I am a sorcerer, or as many call us “magicians”, who uses black magic.” The teen introduced. As Lukas finished his introduction a bolt of lightning stuck between the two of you and Lukas scaring the crap out of you and [F/N]. By this time you two were so freaked out that you just wanted to bolt out of the forest and back to your house so you turned and began to run as if there was a murderer behind you.

                “I always thought that meeting someone like that would be a fun thing.” [F/N] said to you while you continued to run.

                “Same here,” You say picking up your running pace to match your friends.

                “Let’s just go home. I’m getting tired,” She said running to your house, “See ya!”

~Flash Back End~

                This scare has followed you until your junior year at [School/Name], coming back each year on November 26^th to haunt you. Luckily, this time you friend, Arthur Kirkland, has offered you to come over to his house so he could help you get over it. Currently, you were standing in front of his door.

                “Hey, Arthur. I’m here,” You called for your friend. With no response you pressed your ear in hopes of hearing something.

                “Meramera to yakitsukuse, sumi kara sumi made sono goukade,” A barely voice came from inside the house.

                “What the heck is that?” You say while pounding on the door even harder.

                “O-Oh, sorry. I’ll be right there to get it.” Arthur’s voice came through the door. About two minutes later you saw Arthur who looks like he had just ran a marathon.

                “Hey. I heard someone saying weird things inside. What was that?” You ask the Brit.

                “Oh! I was just watching a movie with spell casters and the sort. Why don’t you come in now?” He said nervously pulling you in.

~Time Skip~

                “[Name], would you like a cup of tea?” Arthur asked you while placing his book down and standing up.

                “Yes, please,” You responded back. A few minutes later he came back with two cups of tea and placed one in front of you.

                “So, you’re gonna help me get over my fear of magic?” You ask after a few minutes of silence.

                ”Of course. I would do anything to help a friend,” He said in an offended tone, but you knew he was just being sarcastic.

                “So, where do we begin?” You asked eager to get this over with.

                “We’ll start here since you can already see sorcerers, mythical creature, and the sort.” Arthur said a bit too excited. As soon as he finished his sentence a mint green bunny with wings darted in front of your vision.

                “What in the seven hells is that? (A/N Inuyasha reference!!! =3” You exclaim falling out of your seat.

                “Why this is Flying Mint Bunny!” Arthur said as the winged bunny flew closer to you.

                “Hello [Name], it’s nice to finally meet you. Arthur speaks very highly of you when he speaks to my friends and me,” Flying Mint Bunny said laying down on your head.

                “It’s nice to meet you too. What do you mean by “friends”?” You say pulling yourself up from the fall.

                “People only see us as mythical creatures and only Arthur can see us.” Flying Mint Bunny said while flying in circles around your head.

                “So then, why can I see you… and is that a fairy?” You ask pulling and the chair up while looking at the bookshelf in the corner of the room where you see a fairy sitting on one of the shelves.

                “Umm… Yeah. That’s a fairy!” Arthur said pulling you up from the ground and into his grasp. You were so surprised and entranced by the wonders of magic to pay attention to everything else that was going on around you. Once you realized the position you were in you blushed like crazy and pushed away.

                “I’m ready to continue,” You announced straightening your clothes.

                “Okay, love. Come with me,” Arthur said leading you to the basement (A/N Have fun /sconed).

    ”Where are we going?” You ask, voice laced with worry and fear.

    “Don’t worry. Nowhere bad,” He responds pulling you the stairs with childish delight. You continued to follow him until you came to a door. When you got to the door your suspicions began to rise quickly.

    “What’s in there?” You ask, with a trembling voice as you tremble, like Germany in HetaOni.

    “You’ll see,” He says as a blindfold is pulled over your eyes. You hear the door pull open into the room as a blast of warm air hits you in the face.

    “Hold on, love,” Arthur says as you are pulled to the middle of the room. He quickly removes the blindfold and you look around, the sight greeting you giving you a near heart attack.

    When you opened your eyes yourself and Arthur sanding in the middle of a magic circle. Your whole body begins to shiver at the thought of the man you met in the forest long ago.

    “Open your eyes, love. I’ll show you that magic isn’t bad at all, that there is nothing to be afraid of,” Arthur said pulling on a silk cape.

    “What are you doing?” You questioned very cautiously, as if he was another person.

    “You’ll see,” He answered before chanting some strange words. “From the depths of Aysal, I summon you here! SHOW YOURSELF!” He yells out as towers of flame emerge from the circle’s circumference.

    “What are you doing you idiot?! You know I hate this kind of stuff!” You shout at him while hugging him.

    “Showing you the wonders of magic,” He responds holding you closer, causing you to blush despite the situation at hand.

    The fire that was released from the circle has now begun to take the shape of a dragon. It had blood red eyes, large webbed wings, curled horns sticking out from its head, razor sharp teeth that could tear through titanium like paper, a tail with a razor sharp tip, and was covered in flames. You once again look up expecting to see the flames, but instead meet a dragon made of the flames themselves.

    “What did you summon?! A Dragon?!” You ask him over the crackling of the flames.

    “Precisely. A Fire Demon Dragon that only dwells within the caverns of Aysal,” He answered slowly approaching the dragon, arms wide open to show that he want to cause no harm. The dragon stared at Arthur with its blood red eyes and began to hiss more and more as he got closer. “It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” He said calmly to the demon dragon.

    As Arthur approached the Fire Demon Dragon, its actions became more vicious. The Demon Dragon lifted its tail and smacked Arthur away in one powerful strike.

    “AGHHHH!!!” He cried out in agony as he felt a searing hot pain approach his ribcage.

    “Arthur!” You scream and run towards him as the Fire Demon Dragon advances on him with a malicious look in its eyes. You didn’t give a rats-A about being afraid of magic anymore or mythical creatures, you just wanted to save you friend.

    “[Name], stay back!” Arthur yells at you as he tries to stand up holding the left side of his chest.

    “No! I’m helping, and you can’t stop me,” You shouted as you ran to help him. Within seconds the Demon Dragon was only feet away from you. You turn around to see the dragon towering over you, red eyes filled with rage meeting oddly calm [E/C] orbs. Strangely, only seconds ago your eyes were filled with worry and hate and now they were as calm as the ocean on a sunny day.

    “We’re sorry for summoning out of your home.” You apologize to the vicious dragon with true regret and remorse. The dragon lets out a demanding roar that was laced with sadness as it bowed down its head to you. You hesitated at first, but placed your hand on the Fire Demon Dragon’s head. The flames weren’t at all hot like you were expecting it to be, but rather they were more like cool water licking at your hand. Pictures flashed through your mind as you left your hand upon the dragons head. One picture showed a great fire and great destruction everywhere around you as the trees burned until they were nothing but ashes lying on the ground.

    “I see. You are mad and frustrated because you can’t live in the lush green areas and make friends without setting anything on fire, right?” You ask the dragon who only nods in return, confirming your theory. You, feeling bad says, “If you stay calm you won’t burn anything at all.” As if to show proof, you remove your hand from its head and reveal that you have no burn marks what-so-ever.

    “We can send you back, but you would first need to help my friend. Could you do that for me?” You say, pointing to Arthur. The Demon Dragon nods in response and breaths blue flames at Arthur.

    “Ugh… Thank you, both of you. I’ll send you back right now,” Arthur said picking himself up slowly. He walks back over to the magic circle, stands in the middle, and once again begins to chant some strange words. Halfway through the incantation, the Fire Demon Dragon beings to disappear and by the end it was gone completely leaving only a few wisps of flame in it spot.

    “I’m sorry for trying to help you like that,” Arthur says, grabbing hold of your hand causing you to blush.

    “It’s okay. It worked. I’m over it, I’m just glad that you are still alive,” You say glomping him.

    “Umm… I’m still really sorry,” He said before you smacked his head really hard, “OWW! What was that for?!”

    “Don’t ever do that again… I really care about you. BAKA!” You shout at him, nearly in tears.

    “Calm down, love. I promise I won’t.” He said wrapping the blindfold around your eyes once again.

    “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!” You shout at him since you can’t see anything. You listen around to see if you get a response, but you hear nothing. “If you left me I will frickin’ kick your sorry arse at school.” You shout. You feel something tie around your wrists as they come together behind your back, and your hands are bound together.

    “What’s going on? What did I do to deserve this?” You ask nearly crying in fright.

    “You got over your fear of magic,” Arthur whispered into your ear as he removed the blindfold once again from your eyes.

    “So, this is my punishment for getting over my fear? That isn’t very nice Mr. Gentleman now is it?” You answered back already trying to get out of the constrictions.

    “This isn’t a punishment but rather a reward,” He once again whispered into your ear, but the other side. You were now thoroughly frightened by the way he is acting and he could see it in your eyes, and he had to admit to himself he was scaring himself just a little bit too. At the same time he just adored the look of you when you’re scared, with your gleaming, gem-like [E/C] eyes and [H/C] hair that framed your face perfectly. You had a mind that was perfectly knowledgeable and knew what you was talking about, unlike some people he knew. Arthur was basically mesmerized by you and he fell for you when he first met you.

    “Huh?” You said trying to understand what he meant by ‘reward’.

    “Oh, love. You really are so innocent,” He said coming close to your face while your face began to flush like the red on Sealand’s flag. With that Arthur had closed the gap between your face and his own pulling you into a deep kiss. You finally pieced everything together, but honestly didn’t give a care in the world about anything else at the current time.

    The kiss became more passionate as a few minutes passed and you became more accustomed to his forwardness. He shoved his tongue into your mouth and ran it along the top of your mouth as you moaned softly. Saddened with you not participating he decided to get you to participate. He broke the kiss and picked you up and threw you over his shoulder and walked upstairs to his room.

    “Where are we going?” You said trying to get out of his grip.

    “My room. Why?” He said.

    “Oh, just… nothing,” You said putting it together and blushing an extremely dark red.

    When he got to his room he placed you down on the bed and turned around to lock the door and close all of the windows, curtains and all.

    “[Name], I love you and always will,” He whispered to you as if telling you a dark secret he didn’t want anyone finding out.

    “You were a friend and now a lover and I love you as well,” You answered back and let’s just say you spend the rest of the day in the room alone.
