Rock Solid Support

It all started when Gempa got home from school later than usual, his usual relaxed expression missing. Duri was the first to notice, catching Gempa rubbing his arm and looking down, clearly bothered. But before he could ask, Halilintar strode over with a typical scowl, one that hinted at worry. "What's with you? You look like a zombie."

Gempa shrugged, forcing a tired smile, "It's nothing, really. Just a long day."

But none of them bought it, especially Taufan, who wasn't one to let things slide. "Come on, man, we're not dumb. What happened?"

Gempa hesitated, scratching the back of his neck. "Some guys at school... they were saying stuff, you know? About... my powers, that it's just rocks, that it's not impressive compared to the rest of you guys."

There was silence. Then Blaze, always quick to react, shot up, "Who was it? They're done for."

Ice, who had been listening with narrowed eyes, put a hand on Blaze's shoulder. "Calm down, hothead." Then, looking back at Gempa, he spoke more gently, "Hey, that's messed up. You know they're wrong, right?"

Gempa tried to smile, but the hurt was clear. "Guess so... but it still kind of stings. Sometimes I feel like I'm not as strong as you guys."

Duri shook his head, moving closer to Gempa and gripping his arm. "Are you kidding? You're amazing, Gempa! You're the one who keeps us all together. They don't know anything."

Solar added with his usual flair, "Yeah, and I'd like to see them face you and your 'rocks' if they're so brave. I bet they'd back off real quick."

Taufan chimed in, serious now, "You're way more than just strong, Gem. You're always there for us, so now it's our turn to be there for you. You're not dealing with this alone."

Gempa's shoulders relaxed a little as he looked at each of his brothers. He could feel their support, and for the first time since those words had been said, he felt a weight lift. "Thanks, guys... I don't know what I'd do without you."

Halilintar smirked, clapping him on the back. "You won't have to. Next time someone tries to mess with you, let us know."

As they settled into a group hug, Blaze made a joke about his "rock-solid" brother, which got an eye-roll from Ice, and everyone ended up laughing. It was enough to remind Gempa of his place in the family – right at the center, with all of them looking out for him.
