Order and Chaos

Chapther Five

The days were colder in New York, and altrought the the tension had lessened between the sorcerers, plaining and training were still hell.

-I'm sorry, but I do not think this is about concetration, this runes don't make any sense- Loki shouted to Stephen.

-The runes work just fine, watch- You say, as making gestures with your hands, creating a beautiful golden rune.

-Show off- Wanda says in a playfull maner, making you smile.

-Ok, I know that you two strugle with light...calm...magic- you try to say as polite as you can, you didn't want to hurt anyone- but it doesn't mean you can't do. I mean...look at Aghata. If she, with that awful attitude of hers, can do it, I believe you guys can do it to. C'mon, here with me, lets remember that day in the central park...we ate some hotdogs, had some fun, like normal people. Didn't that felt good? Focus on that...

Wanda and Loki close their eyes, trying to canalise the feeling and the right amount of magic needed for the spell. Only to give you a couple of delightful smiles as the runes were conjured. You felt so proud, you felt like home, like you had a family.

-Well, don't look at me like that, I'm not surprised at all- You say raising your hands with a proud smile.

-Ok, so...let's rest. Tomorrow is the big day after all, the first track on the creature, or whatever- Stephen cuts your little moment, and everyone left the room, letting only you two to chat.

-You can try the pet talking once in a while, you know...- You say, smiling to him.

-Oh, I could never do it so well like you.

It was now or never. You had to do it. Even if the only outcomming possible was rejection. You had to tell him how you felt.

-Steph, look...there is something I wanted to say to you, and I know that we're in the middle of something important now, but...- You start to say, but he cuts you off.

-I'm in love with you.

He seemed euphoric, like every part of his body were been shaken by pure eletricity. He wanted to to that for so long, and with all that was going on, and seeing how amazing you were with your magic, he just didn't want to waste another second. He needed you to know. And he needed to know how you felt.

-What? You are?

-Yes, but I understand if you just see me as a friend, a tutor...I'm no that great in...feeelings matters. So I completely understand.

-Well...-you say, getting closer to him-...pehaps, if you had let me finished, you would be the one in shock with a love declaration, or you...

And just like that his lips were on yours, and I felt amazing. It felt more magical than anything you were ever experienced in your entire confused, messed up life. It felt right.

You slowly break the kiss, givin him little kisses, not wanting the moment to end.

-So...what do we do? I don't want to screw this up...-Stephen is the first one to speak- I don't want to hurt you, and I feel like I'm always hurting people.

-Steph, listen to me. It will be ok. It doesn't have to always be hurtful and complicated. I can teach you that, you know...Rumor has it I'm a very good teacher- You say with a cheeky smile.

-Yeah, I agree with that...-he says and you both laugh- We'll see then, one step at time.

-Yes, one step at time.

He gives you one last kiss before head back to the hall. Leving you alone with your thoughts about the next day. You were going to open the DarkHold, or at least try to do so with minimal damage. Aghata said that its the primal source to the answers we were looking for. It would take much power combined to get into the layers of magic in the book. It was very powerful, and very locked. So it was you, Loki, Wanda, Aghata, Stephen and Wong against a book. And the odds are that you were going to lose.
