The Powers We Have

Chapter 14

Grian's Perspective-

Kade sighed.

"Don't be mad at me!!! I don't even know why I'm here!!" Grian snapped.

"To strengthen your powers!"

"WHAT POWERS?!"

Kade looked offended and he scoffed, walking away.

"Wha- fine! Go! Not like you can leave more than 10 feet from me."

Kade sighed and he sat the furthest he could away from me.

We had our backs facing each other, both folding our arms in a pouting position.

...

"You know, Grian, I thought we were making some real progress." Kade said, drawing in the dirt.

I glanced at him over my shoulder.

"You were getting stronger; I was getting stronger. And then...well...what happened?" Kade asked.

I sighed.

"I just...don't know who I am."

"You're Grian."

"Yeah, but- I mean..." I sighed again, burying my head in my knees, "I'm Grian, and I'm Cute Guy. Two different people."

"Not really."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you still look the same."

"But it's how I act."

Kade looked down, thinking.

"See? I- I act so confident when I'm Cute Guy and I'm so shy as Grian."

"Well who do you wanna be?"

"Me? I- I wanna be more like Cute Guy. Confident."

"Then just help change Grian."

"But how?"

Kade smiled softly.

"That's what we're here to find out. Get you under control."

"But- why is Scar here?"

"...you'll see."

I took a deep breath and got up, helping Kade get on my shoulder.

"Scar? Scar! Look, I'm really sorry- I just- "

I stopped as I saw Scar trying to communicate with the gnomes.

He was writing in the dirt.

"I- hey! You're not supposed to- ugh, it doesn't matter." Kade grumbled and I giggled.

Scar looked up at me.

"You were saying?"

"Oh- uh..." I fidgeted nervously, "Look, Scar, I'm sorry. I- I shouted at you for no reason, you did nothing."

Scar nodded.

"Look, I'll- is there any way I can make it up to you?"

"Tell me why I'm here."

I sighed and kneeled down next to Scar.

"Even I don't know the answer to that."

Scar looked down and I put my hand on his shoulder.

"But we're going to figure it out."

"And Grian," Scar looked up at me, "Whether you're Cute Guy or Grian, you're still the same person in my eyes."

"And what person is that?"

Scar smiled softly.

"Amazing." He whispered.

I blushed and Scar smiled empathetically at me.

Scar chuckled and I smiled softly.

"You know, I finally understand why your name is Cute Guy." Scar said.

"Oh yeah? Then why is my name Cute Guy?"

Scar smirked and gently held my chin, making me look up at him.

"Because you really are a cute guy." Scar whispered, leaning in close.

I flushed red and I saw how Scar's eyes were full of love.

We both looked at each other for a second more before kissing.

It was short but got the message out of how much we liked each other.

Fun fact I wrote this in the middle of math class. We were just taking notes and my mind came up with the perfect kiss scene. And then I forced my friend to read it bc they saw the folded piece of paper that just showed the word 'kissing' and got curious.

ANYWAY-

If you didn't see the announcement, yes I am going to be continuing posting this. I have been hit with motivation and so many ideas. I may have even told some of you a story that I am planning for the late future.

And those of you who are waiting on the sequel to Behind The Mask I am so terribly sorry, but know that I am reading the chapters I have done and slowly writing the chapters I need to finish. I just want to be good and so far it's trash and my other stories are more interesting to me so I write those instead.
Uhh- but I'm trying :DDD
