The Element apprentices (a BBS fanfic)

Mail

*whispers* No post on Sundays

Wildcat's P.O.V

We were watching Home Alone 2 Lost in New York. Wasn't even December yet but fuck it if I care. I had already seen the movie once, but I was laughing my ass off with the rest of the guys. That little fucker is crafty as shit. 

A knock at the door interrupted us. It was gentle, but loud enough to hear. I sighed. "Wonder what this could be," I asked sarcastically. The others groaned. By now it obvious that it was those weird ass letters. Nobody else knocks on our damn door. I got up, muttering, "I'll get it."

 I walked to the door, wondering if it was mine. I opened it, only to be faced with a stack of them. I picked them up and walked into the living room.  "We got mail," I declared sarcastically, tossing Lui the pale green one, Nogla the plain white one, and Delirious the pale blue one. Each one had their names scrawled on top in different fonts. I kept mine, plain gray with 'Tyler Wine, or Wildcat' inked on the front, in my hand. 

"Good Jesus," Delirious sighed. He reached to the side table, picked up a letter opener (Vanoss likes to collect them), and slit his open. "What do want with us?!" Lui messaged his forehead and ripped his open too. Nogla sighed and opened his without ripping it. My envelope meanwhile was just scraps on the floor, the letter gripped in my hand.

Dear Tyler, or Wildcat,

I know you feel angry but please read this and don't shred it. I know you want too. But I'd like you to at least consider joining Club Night. I am lonely without somebody around. I haven't had an apprentice in years! Your certainly welcome here. Mini's only gonna be in the next room over (if he comes). You've probably guessed this by now, but I know about you two. I love it! Your a match made in heaven. Cheesy thing to say, I know, but whatever. 

Just think about joining for a while, ok? You'd fit right in. Sleep on it.

Hope to see you here someday.

-Nightshade, or Luna.

Mini tapped me. "Can I read it?" I handed it to him. "I still don't like the sound of this." I warned. 

"None of us do, Wildcat. I want to go report these sickos to the FBI." Evan fiddled with his cuff. "But I'm going to the center." He declared. Now that surprised all of us. Yes, we all sorta wanted to go, but none of had just blatantly said it out loud. "That means I'm going too." Delirious sighed.

"Hey, I admire that, but your fucking stupid as shit." Lui told them. "What?" Mini prodded. "Your not coming? Your going to sit in the car and wait?" We laughed. "Correction," Lui giggled. "We're all fucking stupid as shit!"

We laughed harder and tossed the letters on the end table. "Let's go record," Delirious suggested. "You guys go on ahead, I need to clean that up," I pointed to my shredded envelope. "That's what you get for being a messy bastard!" Mini sang as he left the room. "Fuck you!" I called after him. The guys smiled and shook their heads and left.

I cleaned the floor quickly and was about to duck out, but I got curious. I picked up the stack of letters. I held Nogla's up first.

Dear David Nagle, or Nogla, or Daithi, or Daithi De Nogla,

Why do you have so many names? 

Anyways, I would really like it if you considered joining Club Wind. I'd honestly think you'd love it here. It's very calming, which would help you, considering how much you rage and stress on a daily basis. And if you need something that's the opposite of calming, like something that gets your blood pumping and make your feel powerful, well the wind can be destructive too. And if your still not convinced, Lui is right next door. Y'aint going to be apart from your sweetheart (d'aww) for long.

From: Windfree or Willow

I snorted. She certainly got that right. I'm surprised Nogla hasn't had a fucking stroke already. I the next in the pile was Lui's.

Dear Lui Calibre,   

Well at least you only have one name. Willow is sitting next to me trying to make sure she has all of your boyfriend's names in the letter. Y'all are so cute together! But back to the point, I'd like to invite you to Club Earth. I know it sounds like a hippie-dippie-I-haven't-showered-in-three-years club, but I promise it's not. I showered this morning. Anyways, Daithi will be in the next room if he decided to take up Will's offer. You won't be far apart. I hope you don't mind dirt and sunshine (your gonna be outside a lot, honey)! 

  From Earthpeace, or Emily

I raised an eyebrow. This girl sure knows how to make a club seem weird as hell. Lui does love to get outside more than the rest of us, though. She got that right.

I was about to pick up the pale blue one, Delirious's letter, when a cough sounded from the doorway. I looked up, surprised. "You gonna come record or are you gonna stay here and snoop?" We laughed. I tossed the letters back on the table and strided over to Mini. "You know Ilike to snoop." I teased. He grinned. He grabbed my hand, probably to pull me down corridor, but I pulled into my chest. "Oomf," He humbled. I lifted up his chin and kissed him affectionately. He slipped a hand around my waist and kissed back. We broke away, both of us beaming, and his eyes were absolutely shining. "Let's go, you old romantic." We laughed and strode towards the recording rooms together.
