Flames Ignite (Magna x OC)

Back At Base

We finally arrived back at base as the sun was starting to set. Charmy had been floating around on her wool cloud surrounded by bags of various foods she had gotten on her adventure in Castle Town. I managed to hitch a ride on the back of it where I had fallen asleep. Charmy brought her cloud of wool inside and dropped everything on a nearby table forgetting I was in there. I sat up quickly looking around to see we were back at base.

"Sorry Scarlet, I forgot you were in there." She giggled hopping onto the bench.

I rubbed the back of my head. "It's alright." Looking around I didn't see anyone else besides the two of us. "Where did everyone go?"

"Beats me. I just know Asta and Noelle went to report to Yami." She casually munched away on her sweets like normal.

I got up making my way towards the stairs. "Great, that means I'm free to do whatever. Thanks for the lift Charmy!"

I went to my room to gather my bathing supplies and all my dirty laundry. A nice bath would help loosen up my muscles after what we went through today. My whole body ached from using so much more mana than usual. While I bathed I had my clothes in the wash so that when I was done they'd be clean for me.

After spending some time relaxing I dried myself off with my magic and put on my comfy clothes. I like stealing Magna's shirts since they are nice and baggy to wear along with my black shorts and thigh high stockings. As I made my way back to my room I sensed Magna's ki downstairs bringing a smile to my face. I quickly put my clothes away in my wardrobe then made my way upstairs to Magna's room.

As I got up there he was leaving his room shirtless with clothes and a towel in hand. "Oh hey Scarlet. You guys just get back too?"

"We've been back for a little while now. I gotta tell you about what happened in Castle Town today. It was one hell of a ride." 

He started chuckling. "Alright, just let me clean myself up first. I smell like I just kicked thirty guys asses."

"Ya know, I don't think you could take on thirty." I taunted putting my hands on my hips.

"I can make it thirty one if you want." He said with a cocky smirk.

"If I weren't so worn out from today I would take that challenge." I slid past him opening the door to his room. "Oh and I thought you said I was too pretty to be a guy."

He turned around as he walked towards the stairs and shot me finger guns. "Hey, I said beautiful. There's a difference."

My face was as red as my hair at this point. "Do you have to flirt with me while you're half naked!"

"I mean I could change that if you'd like." He jokingly grabbed his belt buckle.

"You damn pervert!" I yelled sending my flames down the hall making him hide around the corner laughing. "Go take your damn bath already."

He struggled to maintain his composure after laughing so much. "Alright, alright. I'll be back."

Still flustered I entered his candle lit room and leaned back against the door. I couldn't get the image of him out of my head as he taunted me. "Damn him." I muttered throwing myself into his bed on my stomach. As I hugged the pillow I couldn't help but notice a small box wooden box on his desk. I got up to sit at his desk then delicately opened the box. There was a bracelet with red roses and gold leaves with golden vines making the chain. 'Why would he have something like this? Who is this for?' My mood dropped as I looked at the glistening jewelry from the candle light. My mind instantly assumed it was for someone special that I didn't know about. I slowly closed the small box placing it back the way I found it. 'I guess I shouldn't be snooping around here anyway.' I left the room gently closing the door behind me before making my way downstairs.
