.˚•_ CHAPTER 9

[ A/N! sorry for not updating this guys! got busy again 😞, rewarding you with a longer chapter!!!]

POUND POV

I sit up on my bed, rubbing tired eyes. I haven't seen fireball in a bit, but maybe I'll find him today and finally tell him about everything.

I feel bad about not having told him earlier, but i'm sure it'll be fine!

I change into my more formal clothes instead of raggedy pj's. I walk out from the palace walls and breathe in fresh morning air. 

I start walking down the pathways, walking toward fireball's tower, though i spot him earlier.

i walk toward him, "hey fireba-"

"we need to talk."

i stop in my tracks, gaze softening from a smile to a more concerned expression. 

he looks horrible. 

he has bags under puffy eyes and looks pale. it's like he hasn't slept in years and looks like he's back to being hostile toward everyone.

"oh- alright?" i mumble, following behind him as he leads us to a more secluded area. we stand in a foresty spot, trees towering over us and patches of light seeping through, it would be nice if i weren't so worried for what he was going to say.

"what do you need to-" i begin before i'm cut off by him.

"why would you lie to me!?" he yells, voice dripping with anger and hostility, glaring daggers at me.

"what?-"

"don't act like you don't know! we knew each other, i lost all my memories and not once in the thousands of years since then did you bother to tell me!? why continuously lie to me!? you could've just told me!" he yells, voice filled with pain and hostility.

my eyes widen, "f-fireball I was going to-"

"don't tell me you were going to! why didn't you just tell me!?"

"because you wouldn't believe me!"

"yes I would! it's not that farfetched pound!"

I can feel tears forming in my eyes, hands starting to shake.

"maybe beer keg was right." he hisses, glaring at me, though I can see the tears in his eyes. 

"maybe you are just selfish. maybe your only goal was to manipulate and break me. well, I'm glad to say it worked pound." he pushes past me walking forward.

"wait fireball!-" I yell, biting back tears.

"don't come looking for me." he hisses, picking up his pace and running until he's out of sight.

"I love you.."

I break down to my knees, trying to bite back sobs. why didn't I have the courage to just tell him..?

FIREBALL POV

I run 'till I'm out of pounds sight. the second I am I break down to my knees, stifling sobs. 

was I too harsh?.. no. no, he's selfish and only wants to hurt me.

I sit in the centre of the grass, swallowing sobs as I sit there, curling myself into a ball, knees pressed to my chest. after a few minutes, I feel someone sit next to me.

I don't dare lift my head. "what." I hiss, voice laced with hostility. 

"are you alright fireball?" the person asks softly, I recognise the voice.

yearbook. 

I let out a shaky breath, lifting my head and resting it atop my arms. my eyes feel puffy and my face feels like it's stained with tears.

I look so weak right now it's almost funny.

"I-i'm.. something just-" I can't even get the words out.

yearbook raises her hand and slowly wraps it around me. I lean onto her shoulder, starting to cry again. I don't care how weak I look anymore.

"it's alright fireball. calm down and then tell me what happened." she says, their voice gentle and soft.

I cry on her shoulder until I start to calm down until my tears are at a stop. I sit back and look down.

"do you want to talk..?" they say softly. after a moment of hesitation, I nod.

me and yearbook may not be the closest but she might be the only comfort I could get right now.

"me and pound had a fight.." I mumble. she gazes away.

"I think I know what it's about.." they mutter.

"w-what..?"
