Elemental brothers oneshot story

the human lie detector

Just a little warning, there will be major ooc in here, that's all.

Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------

If you ask someone who the scariest among the septuplets is, you will get all kinds of answers.

Most would say Halilintar, one glare from him is enough to freeze you in place, his sheer presence suffocating, his sharp eyes cutting through you like a blade.

Others would name Gempa, not because he's loud, not because he's violent but because he doesn't need to be. When he speaks, even Halilintar listens, when he commands, the others follow.

That kind of quiet control? That's terrifying.

Some would argue it's Solar, not for his strength, but because there's nothing more dangerous than someone who can outthink you at every turn, someone who can break you down with words alone.

Some might say Taufan, because when he gets angry, truly angry, even the air itself seems to tremble.

Others would insist it's Blaze, because chaos has no rules, no pattern, no reason and Blaze? He is chaos.

Unpredictable, reckless, a walking disaster waiting to happen.

But if you ask the brothers themselves?

Their answer will always be the same.

Ice.

And that's when the room goes silent.

Ice? The Ice? The laziest, most laid back, most unbothered of the seven?

Why?

Sure, he has powers.

He could freeze you where you stand, turn the air so cold it burns but that's not what makes him terrifying.

No.

The real reason, the true nightmare is his talent, A gift so unsettling, so inescapable, that even his own brothers fear him for it.

Ice can detect lies.

Yes.

No matter how skilled you are.

No matter how smooth your words, how perfect your mask, how unshakable your facade, even if you are the greatest liar in the entire galaxy.

He will know.

And most of the time?

He won't even call you out.

He will just look at you, maybe shrug, maybe mutter Alright.

And then? He will move on.

And that? That is a blessing.

Because when Ice actually wants an answer? When he decides the truth is worth dragging out?

Oh.

You can't run, you can't hide, and worst of all?

You can't lie.

Because lies are a shield, a protection, a way to soften a blow, to twist reality into something safer.

And Ice?

He rips that shield away.

It doesn't matter if you lie to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you lie to protect someone else, it doesn't even matter if you lie for good reasons.

When Ice looks at you, when he asks, no, demands the truth.

There is no escape.

Your secrets? Exposed.
