he's not [that] bad / magdan

episode 33

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

once taking in their surroundings, the group of kids came to find the island was bigger than it seemed. 

magnus led his friends to a clearing in the middle of the area and they had all decided to build a shelter and try their best in survival. wynton and lia were using their bakugan to cut down trees for the cabin they would build, shun was gathering wood for the fire and dan was with magnus being taught how to hunt. 

currently, the previously mentioned boys were behind some bushes away from construction. the black haired was building a bow and arrow out of a bent stick and the string from his sweater.

"so we're trapped on this island at the time being..." dan hummed as he watched magnus. "let's hope we don't go insane and start killing eachother."

the red streaked then laughed at his own joke, magnus would enforce his own just to please the other but instead he let out a sigh. without noticing it, he was in the same trance as he was earlier when they had first got here. thinking to himself as he sharpened a rock to use as the arrow.

- and it's not to say that was new, but something about the elder's sudden change in mood was different and dan had picked it up so he asked: "mag, you okay?"

at the sound of his name magnus blinked himself back into reality. "ah, y-yeah i'm okay.. kouzo. thanks."

dan nodded despite not believing him and the doubt in his heart must have spoken to the other because sighing yet again: the darkus brawler looked up at the pyrus and took back what he had just said.

"actually, no. i'm not okay."

"yeah i can see that. you're a quiet guy but not saying anything for hours is just not you." dan smiled and knelt down in front of him. he took his boyfriend's purple gloved hands into his own and that small smile on his lips had to be contagious enough to make magnus smile softly himself. "so what's up? doctor kouzo is listening."

magnus chuckled in response. it was a cheesy line but it grew on him. enough to speak what was on his mind. "i don't know what it is, but there's something weird about this island."

"oh? what do you mean?"

"i dunno.. there's just this weird feeling i've been having ever since we crash landed here.. like we're supposed to he here for a reason. almost like, landing on this island wasnt some sort of coincidence. "

magnus then remembered the dreams. he remembered about tiko and he almost told dan all about it but something stopped him. the memory of tiko inviting him in for the answer stopped him. and it wasnt just him not wanting to spoil his plan but.. something else.

and the teen didn't even know it but that reason was guilt.

"hm, so thats what's been bothering you then? man and i was starting to worry i did something wrong!" he joked to which magnus chuckled again.

"no, something so cute like you would never do something wrong." magnus giggled before he ruffled dan's hair. taking him a minute to even realize what he was doing.

"haha, true!" dan laughed and pushed mag's hand away. "but no, i definitely get what you mean. to tell you the truth: i think i'm feeling the same way."

magnus rose his brows. "really?"

"yeah. this place is giving me the creeps and i dunno if it's just me being too used to the city but.. something does feel off about this place." even after saying that, the streaked brunette shivered a little. "oohh, i'm getting chills just describing it.."
