Monster

Words: 8500

Summary: Dan controls fire and Phil controls ice and they hate each other from previous events they do not speak off. However, when Dan gets hurt in battle Phil finds his hatred dissipating and replaced with worry.

Chris looked between the two of them. 

He turned to Dan.

Dan was across the field, fighting his opponent with his high level of skill. At every break however, if he caught Phil's eyes he'd glare in his direction. Chris turned to Phil who at every glance in Dan's direction was a permanent scowl.

Chris wondered how long this petty rivalry was going to go on, they were in a war for god's sake. Chris rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers in front of Phil's face who snapped out of it and looked at Chris with listening eyes.

"Dude, seriously. What's going on between you and Howell?" He asked, eyebrows raised. Suddenly PJ showed up, immediately entering the conversation.

"Yeah you two seem a little ... frosty." PJ smirked. "Pun intended." He added quickly. Phil rolled his eyes and wiped the smug look off PJ's face by freezing his evening coffee. Phil giggled when PJ tipped his cup all the way, waiting for something to come out and was met with an annoyed scowl.

"Anyway ..." Chris interrupted, looking at Phil expectantly.

Phil huffed, "I just don't like the guy." He retorted.

"Well I suppose it's natural for fire and ice to repel each other." PJ pointed out.

"Yeah but Phil is usually a decent guy, so that's not a good enough reason Lester." Chris replied.

"We just don't like each other, nothing more nothing less." Phil put bluntly, although he seemed to be keeping something back. Chis sighed and shook his head.

"Well you're going to have to get rid of this stupid mini war because you two are our best fighters and it would be a shame for them to dislike each other, especially out on missions!" Chris pointed out.

"Pfft, I hope I never get teamed with him." Phil replied bitterly. Chris and PJ looked at each other, they were very confused. Phil was usually nice to everyone but when it came to Dan his face went stony and a fire blazed in his eyes.

"You might one day, just don't complain when it happens, there's a bigger war going on around you." PJ pointed out.

"Whatever." Phil sighed.

"LESTER!" The commander called. Phil jumped to his feet, nodding a goodbye to his friends before going to the leader's tent. Elementals get their powers age 16 and Phil had been given the gift to control and manipulate ice and snow. Dan got the power to manipulate fire and black flames. 

When Phil entered the tent he almost growled when he saw Dan Howell standing there, giving him evil eyes. You see, Dan and Phil had known each other for a long time ... only no ones else knew that. They grew up together from age ten and their mothers were friends but something went bad between them. 

"I need you two to take out the north side tomorrow. You're our mot capable fighters and there are some high level demons coming in from that direction which will be too hard for our other ranks, especially one of this size." Commander Zeke explained. Phil nearly groaned out loud at the thought of being paired with Dan. He thought it would never happen and now he was proved wrong. He cast a glance at Dan and caught his dark eyes which glared at him.

"I expect you to both be professional on this mission. There is no room for mistakes, got it?" The commander said sternly. Phil and Dan broke eye contact.
