Children of mischief

Chapter 5.Never say:"What could possibly go wrong?". Everything. Everything can

Mo P.O.V.

Even though Yueliang was still mad at me, she still let me cry in her arms once we got to the abandoned apartment complex. We were laying in bed, coweb was still hanging on most of the things in the room and the air was filled with dust,but it didn't matter. Not when she was holding me close to her chest.
I cried in her shoulder, thinking aboyt everything that happend:Corre disappearing while talking to me on the phone, O'Leary not answering me,Alvin dying because of me...
"Shhh..." she stroke my hair and kissed my forhead. "It's not your fault,ok?" Yueliang smiled softly, wiping my tears. "I got you now."
Spirits,did she have her way with words! My heart started beating faster as I wraped my arms around her back and nuzzled into her shoulder. "Thank you, Yue." I whispered weakly.
She kissed my forhead again." Your welcome,love."
My face felt hot. Even now,she still managed to make my heart flutter. "Hey! No fair,I'm supposed to dwel in self-pitty right now,not get flustered!" I joked, letting out a short laugh while drying my tears.
She half-smirked." I prefere the latter, to be honest. You're cute when you're red." She leaned forward a little, making the reddness in my face grow. "You little flirt." I fake-pouted. Yueliang's smirk grew as she pulled me closer and kissed me. My heart skiped a bit at the feeling of her lips against mine. It had been so long, I almost forgot how good it felt.
Yueliang hand went from my waist to my neck and then the back of my neck,pulling me in more.
"Ahem."
We both pulled away and looked to the door. Milo was sitting there with a sour,annoyed and unimpressed look. "Are you done?" He raised an eyebrow. I never in my life felt so embarresed. My face was probably a bright red, and my chest was burning. Yueliang knew how to screw with my brain and feelings,but in a good way.
I cleared my throat." Y...yes."
Yueliang scoffed and rolled her eyes." What do you want?"
"Sorry to interupt the make out session," his tone was dripping in sarcasm and annoyance,"but we've got some problems on our hands. Be down in five."
He left,before giving me a sharp glare.
I let out a whistled breath and leaned back on the bed. "Spirits,I almost forgot how good of a kisser you are."
She chuckled and sat on her side,facing me. "You know you'll have to make up for the lost time,right?"
I couldn't help but smirk. "Fine by me."
"Mo Caliope! Yueliang Akari Young! Get your asses here!" Milo shouted.
I sighed."C'mon, let's go before he throws a tantrum."
"Do we have to?" She whined.
"Yes,Yue, we have. Now get up." I pulled her out of the bed,a playfull smile playing on my lips.
"You're so making up for this later.

Brian P.O.V.

"Bro,chill!" I tried calming down Milo. He was sitting at the table, elbowes on it,fingers laced togheter and his chin resting over his hands. His foot was tapping rentlessly and what was even worst:he wasn't talking. Just a look of cold, quiet anger.
For Nestor's sake,please let Mo and Yuelinag come, before he blows a vein.
"I am calm." He said,but his tone,even though cold,indicated otherwise.
Finally, the two showed up. "Thank you for honoring us with your presnce." Milo said through gritted theeth.
Yueliang held his gaze. "Oh, please! Calm your horses, we didn't take that long!"
Mo was unusually quiet and smiling like an idiot. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. They signed "Don't ask."
Ok....Very concerning but...
"Bri!" Milo snaped, interupting my train of thoughts. "Are you with us?"
I tried my best not to get annoyed with him. I had to remind myself he is well-intent, he is my friend, and he's just having a bad moment. "
"Yes,Milo,I am here." I took a calming breath.
"So, what's this fuss about?" Mo finally came to their senses.
"About you."
Both Yueliang and Mo looked stunned. Mo pointed their finger towards themselves."Me? What'd I do now?!"
I put my hand on my cousin's shoulder." You did nothing. Pager was given a message form another Messenger Moth. For you."
Pager was my pet Messenger Moth.
Mo tilted their head. "For me?"
"Y'deaf? Yes!''
"From who?"
I took a deep breath."That's the thing, I've never heard of this person." "Let's hear it then."
I wistled and extended my arm. Pager flew in and landed on it. "Show us."
Pager's antlers shook. ''My name is Ibis. I know this will sound weird,but...I need a word with you. I know you do not know me,but it's important. It's about your father...your real one. Meet me in the Snake's Creek,South from Vellos."
I could see Mo's face drop. They gripped on the back of the seat,keeping their head low. Me, Milo and Yueliang all looked at them with worry. "Mo?" Milo's voice turned from one filled with irritation to one full of caution. "Please tell me you're not considering it. It's obvious trap!" Yueliang protested,seeing the look in the shapeshifter's eyes.
"It's about my father, Yue! My father! It's worth the risk. Plus, something in his voice sounded genuine."
Yueliang's face twisted in a frown." You're a fool."
Mo's eyes widend in surprise. "Yueliang?"
Yuelinag scoffed and left. Mo's shoulders sloped in defeat.
"Damn, that's what taking a 180° turn." Milo wistled.
I sighed and claped my cousin on the shoulder. "Moodswings. Don't read too much into it."
Mo raised an eyebrow."You do realise how misoginistic that sounds?"
I felt my cheeks grow hot."S...sorry."
Milo sighed."We so do not have time for this! What should we do?"
Mo looked determined."We're heading out to Snake's Creek."
"But O'Leary said-"
"O'Leary can go screw himself. He cut the line when he let Corre get caught."
Milo bit his lip."Let's not be hasty, ok?"
Mo sighed in exhasperation and ran their hands over their face."Why are ya'll babying me?! It's my fucking choice, you don't need to tag along!"
Milo smacked Mo over the head,then crossed his arms over his chest. "Of cours we do, idiot."
My cousin was blowing steem through their ears."Why you-"
Milo ruffled their hair."Love ya too gremlin."
"The hell you do."
Mo hissed elbowed him playfuly. I laughed, these two would be the death of me one day. I put my arms around each of their shoulders. "Alright,seems like we got ourselves a quest. Nothing can go wrong, right?"
