It's Hard to Breathe

Explanation

"Boys, please!" Glimmer stepped between the two males, her hands apart like a traffic cop while they geared up for a fight.

"No need to kill each other." Umber added, moving closer in case another person was needed to break them up.

"We're not killing each other. I'm getting him." Alvar growled, locking his murderous gaze on Ruy.

Ruy wasn't backing down, however, but there was trepidation in his eyes.

"It was a joke, Alvar. A prank.. oh, lighten up." He said.

Alvar's expression went from mad to furious to enraged. "You set my hair on fire, let me run around screaming-"

"It was pretty hilarious." Ruy admitted.

"Ruy, not helping your case." Gethen told him as Alvar's eyes narrowed in fury, his glare locked on Ruy.

"Let me run around screaming, didn't even try to help, and you laugh?" Alvar continued where he left off, his voice rising in anger.

"As I mentioned earlier, it was a prank. A harmless one in fact." Ruy knew he said the wrong thing as Alvar's face darkened still.

"You set my hair on fire. If it had burnt my head, I could have died. And you call that harmless?!" He shrieked, pushing back against Trix and Brant harder than ever.

Brant strained, trying to keep Alvar at bay. "Man, do you go to the gym every hour or something?"

"Maybe." Alvar grunted and shoved harder.

Trix pushed back with all his might.

"Stop- let- me- get- him!" Alvar yelled, face screwed up in frustration.

Ruy backed away, looking genuinely nervous at Alvar's twisted expression of utter rage painted across the boy's face as he tried to shove past Trix and Brant once more.

It got so bad, Gethen had to join in their efforts at keeping Alvar at bay, throwing his weight against the dark-haired male.

Ruy crept over to the exit. "You know, I think I'll just walk back to Gisela's hou-"

"You're not going anywhere without an apology, or so help me, your life will be a living hell!" Alvar shouted.

"Yeah, good luck with that." Ruy told him, then opened the door.

"I don't need luck!" Alvar hollered, shoving with all of his strength.

It worked.

Gethen, Trix, and Brant were tossed unceremoniously to the side as Alvar charged to the door, almost blinded by rage, intent on destroying Ruy utterly.

Ruy wrenched open the door, then slammed it in Alvar's face, stepping to the side.

"Boys, please!" Glimmer tried, preventing Ruy from leaving by standing in front of the door.

Alvar got up, head ringing from the glass door being flung shut directly in his face. He shook the black spots out of his eyes, then locked his lethal glare on Ruy, with backed up, with his back to the wall.

"There was a phrase. Bull in a china shop, I believe." Gisela commented.

"It should be changed to 'Alvar in an ice cream shop'." She added as Alvar chased after Ruy as he ran around the shop, knocking over tables.

Everyone but Vespera, Fintan, and Gisela were trying to subdue Alvar, and save Ruy.

The three just reclined, watching the second episode of the Ice Cream Shop Show with mild amusement.
