MATCHED

19.

The boys are at the Blood Knights' cabin that they inherited. They spend the weekends there.

"So, baby prince will participate in the solo, huh?" Feu teased.

"Are you sure about that, baby prince?" Kōri asked.

The boys are confused why it looks like they don't want Kieran to participate. They turned to Blue who chuckled.

"You two need to clarify what you were implying because these kids are thinking that you are underestimating their little prince," Blue said.

The boys widened their eyes because Blue got it right. Feu and Kōri looked at them before shrugging.

"It's quite the opposite, actually," Feu said.

"Even if all the participants go against Kieran altogether, they don't stand a chance. Well, maybe Kasper will be the only one that can put up a fight but still, Kieran will be the last man standing," Kōri proudly said.

The boys' jaws almost reach the ground with what they heard. Kieran's ears are red due to embarrassment.

"You're bluffing," Eron said in disbelief. Their visitors smirk at them making them gape.

They turned to Kieran asking with their eyes. "Phis~ stop spurting nonsense," Kieran said hiding his face with his palms. The mythical creatures chuckled at him.

"Are we though?" Feu asked sheepishly.

"You know very well that we're stating facts," Kōri added.

Blue shook his head. "Of course, he knew that. What he meant is, stop embarrassing him. Look at his ears, it's redder than the raging flame of Orgon,"

Kōri scoffed hearing the fire dragon king's name. Feu decided to tease the ice dragon leaving the boys watching them in amusement.

"Are they always like this?" Kasper asked his mate.

Kieran giggled, "Worst. P'Feu always teases P'Kōri," he answered. Kasper nodded.

"Who is Orgon?" Timmy asked stopping the two from bickering. Kōri's face heated up while Feu smirked evilly. Blue sighed.

Feu nudged Kōri, "He's asking you a question," Kōri clenched his jaw. He wanted to strangle the phoenix.

"Should I answer him, phi?" Kieran asked smiling innocently.

The ice dragon king's eyes widened. "Don't you dare, baby prince," he warned him but it went to deaf ears.

Kieran faces his friend ready to spill who Orgon is. "He's P'Kōri's mhmp-"

Kōri sealed Kieran's mouth with ice. Kasper and the rest panicked. They don't know what to do to remove it. Clyde can't use his fire because he's afraid it'll hurt his cousin. Feu and Blue are enjoying watching them.

"Boys, relax," Feu said.

"How the fuck can-" Kasper stopped mid-sentence when Feu raised his left eyebrow at him.

"Look," Blue gestured them to look at Kieran who is calm.

Kieran uses his power to undone Kōri's power. It amazed the boys. Kasper breathes in relief.

"Uh-oh~," Feu said when Kieran faces their direction. Kōri gulped seeing the look on their baby prince's face.

"Baby prince, let me ex- Oof!" A snowball landed on his face.
