Balance (Hamburr Elemental AU)

Chapter 6

Hihihihihihi I'm starting this at almost 4am while listening to BMC bless my soul

Alex tensed up and his eyes widened. After a moment, relaxed into the kiss. He felt himself heat up and that made him calm down more.

He knew damn well that Peggy and Maria would be losing their shit over this but that just added to the moment.

Aaron pulled away but lingered close to Alex, panting quietly. "W-woah..." He mumbled, smiling a bit. Alex smiled slightly at the sparkle in Aaron's eyes, it was small yet adorable to say the least.

"Is it working?" Aaron asked quietly. Alex looked to his arms and sighed in relief to the receding ice on his arms.

"It is...thanks."

"You shouldn't be thanking me..." Aaron muttered and looked away, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Hey, what you did was understanable and I completely understand," Alex tilted Aaron's face towards him. "I thank you for saving me Aaron, I'm truly grateful."

"God you sound so cheesy right now," Alex rolled his eyes and laughed at Aaron's remark.

"C'mon, I have a feeling that we are going to attacked with a wave of questions," Aaron took Alex's hand and helped him up.

They walked hand in hand to their friends and Maria grinned. "Guess who was riiiiight~" Peggy rolled her eyes and took out her wallet, taking a 10 dollar bill out and handing it to Maria in defeat.

"You two bet on u-" Aaron stopped as Thomas huffed angrily and reluctantly handed John a 20. John smiled victoriously.

"...anyone else?" Alex asked in an unenthusiastic tone.

"I already gave Herc his 5, ami."

Alex noticed Herc smiling to himself while leaning on Laf.

"Why, just...why?" Aaron asked.

"Maria started first and everyone started placing bets. The smart ones sided with Maria," Peggy said with a causal grin, earning a wave of protests.

"So, fire and ice huh? Can't say I'm surprised," Maria inspected them closely. Alex laughed nervously and stepped back.

Aaron squeezed Alex's hand in an attempt to calm him down but it didn't work all that well.

His next option was one that Aaron liked personally. He pulled Alex forward into a kiss and heard John mumble a quiet "fuck".

"Ha! Hand it over Johnny boy," Maria exclaimed with a wider grin. John gave his newfound 20 dollars to Maria and she held the money with a proud smile.

"This is why I don't bet on anything," James said, happy to have all his money.

"That makes you lAme James," Thomas called out.

Alex just rolled his eyes and pulled away, leading Aaron away and the group whining and following on.

The next day~

"So Aaron," Thomas trailed off and looked down at Aaron with a grin. Aaron felt his cheeks warm up and he pulled his hood up.

"Shut the fuck up before I impale you with an ice rod."

"Okay damn," Thomas muttered and laughed slightly. Aaron sighed and looked up at the prison they called school.

"Goddammit it's there every single fucking time!" Aaron yelled, genuinely angry at the fact that the school was still there. (Same tbh)

"C'mon, you can endure another day like everyone else Aaron. It's only the 4th day back," Thomas reasoned and Aaron groaned.

"That doesn't make it any better," Aaron glared at Thomas and stomped inside.

Thomas frowned, feeling as if there was something wrong.

The way the air seemed way warmer than usual around Aaron. Usually Thomas used Aaron as a personal cooler if the moment called for it.

He didn't realize he was actually sweating until he wiped his forehead.

"The fuck..?" Thomas sped walked to his sewing class and sat down, impatiently waiting for James.

Thomas had a bad feeling about this.

Came up with the last part suddenly and I like it. Also shortest chapter I've ever written but oh well. UwU
