The Path of Four Magi

Parting Ways

You giggled at Yunan, this whole morning he was messing with this piece of hair that just wasn't staying put, and he still failed to succeed at taming it. You found this incredibly funny because of the pout on his face and the noises he made while fixing it. In addition, never before had you seen his hair uncooperative. His hair always looked the exact same when he got out of bed, perfect. So, besides the fact that you found his struggle funny, you were laughing evilly in your mind because he had finally witnessed your hardships.

Yunan, unlike the other magis you had traveled with, had not made fun of your crazy bed hair, but you often saw him trying to hold back a laugh when you turned away. After all, all the people you have travelled with seem to wake up with perfect, or at least decent, hair. You just managed to look like your hair exploded during the night. All of your traveling companions didn't have bad bed hair, that was, all except for Alibaba. Then again, Alibaba's hair was always messy. He really needed to learn how to groom himself. (A/N: Please don't hate me! I absolutely love Alibaba and his adorable hair, but I needed someone to pick on, and it is so easy to pick on him! Not to mention that he looks adorable when he is mad at small little insults!)

"(Y/n)," Yunan called.

You turned to look at Yunan. He had a serious expression on, but you didn't pay attention and pouted as you saw that he had finally been able to tame his hair.

"(Y/n)," he said more assertively, making you jump a little.

"Sheesh, don't act so grumpy Yunan. If you're mad that I was laughing at you and your hair, I'm sorry, but don't get mad over it," you pouted, mad that he had almost yelled at you. He sighed and spoke again, this time calmer.

"(Y/n), I am not mad at you for that. I was just frustrated that you didn't respond when I called you, despite that you obviously heard me," he explained.

"Oh," you said. "I'm sorry, Yunan."

"It's alright, (y/n), I just wanted to talk to you about something."

"Well, I'm listening now, so fire away."

Yunan seemed to struggle with himself as you said this, as his face showed many different emotions, before he finally spoke up.

"Have you been enjoying your journey so far?" He finally asked.

You could tell that this wasn't what he originally wanted to speak about, but you knew that if he decided not to say it, there was no way for you to get him to say it, even if you took his hat again and tried to bribe him with it. You would have tried it too, but you could tell by his face that he wasn't in the playful mood and would give you a glare that could kill if you even tried to lighten the mood like that. You decided to just go along with it.

"Um, well it has been good for the most part. I have meet tons of amazing people on the way, and seen many unbelievable things."

"Really? Such as?"

"The people or the unbelievable things?"

"Both."

"Well, I met you obviously," you started before he cut you off.

"Well, I wouldn't consider myself amazing."

"What! Of course you are amazing! Not only are you kind and caring, but you're a magi!"
