The Dreamers

24: The Request

September 7th

"Should we.....get him to a doctor?"

"Hm, I'm not sure." Serena peeked from their kitchen entrance at Pyro, who was drinking coffee in their living room.

She walked put to the living room, "Hey Pyro, do you need any medical help?"

"No, no, I'm fine. But do you know what's not fine: this coffee. Not sweet enough."

"Pyro! I put two cups of sugar in there!"

"Well, it should have been three,
Damion."

Damion grunted as Serena patted his shoulder, "Sorry about that, Antonio. We are just concerned about your well-being."

He smiled as he stood up and walked over to them.

"You have nothing to worry about, Princess. All the torture was a figment in my imagination. I can still feel it, but there is no real pain."

"Oh! Let me get you some pain medication." She went into the kitchen. Pyro and Damion locked eyes as they both stared at each other.

"Here you go!" Serena came back in with the medication

He sighed, "Thank you, Princess~."

She blushed a little as he kissed her hand. Damion gently swatted him away from her. He chuckled, knowing Damion was clearly threatened.

"That's enough, Pyro."

"Hehe, is it now?"

"Shut up and stay away from my girlfriend!" Damion yelled.

"Oh~?" He smirked, "You're so scary~"

"YOU STUPID LITTLE -"

"Honey, shh. It's fine," She placed her hands on his chest, "Antonio, you should get some rest." She walked him upstairs to the guest room.

She came back downstairs, "Damion, Honey, let's not be too hard on him. He probably is still working out his emotions."

Damion sighed as he looked at her puppy eyes, "Even if you don't like him, can you do it for me?"

"Yeah.... I can do that." He sighed and looked away as she kissed him.

"Thank you, Damion~!" She nuzzled into the crook of his neck as he stroked her hair."

"My pleasure, honey." He smiled, walking her to the kitchen.

They didn't notice, but Pyro was peeking from the top of the stairs. He felt something was wrong. Why did he feel so sensitive?

He felt tears form in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away and went upstairs.

"I can't believe she really chose him..."

~~~

"So.... why did you call us all out here?"
Mira followed Giddion curiously.

"Yeah, I have a massage in 30 minutes that I can't miss." Mateo typed on his phone.

"Oh, cut it out, you two!" Ariel walked beside Giddion, who stopped them at a board full of posters. He ripped one off.

"Look at all of these Anti-Dreamer posters being put up! They're trying to rise against us!" Giddion ripped the paper in half.

"And who's fault is that?" Mateo looked at Ariel and Giddion.

Ariel rolled her eyes, "It's for the good of the company, Mateo!"

"You know what would also be good for the company? Getting rid of the hoe who works as the boss's PA." Mateo smirked, seeing the offended expression on Ariel's face.
