Lava Shards: A Fairy Tail Fanfiction

We're Brothers! (Part 2)

Hiraku's POV

I chased that bastard all the way to Mongolia. Okay, I would've gotten him a whole lot earlier but I wanted to see how far he could run in his shoes that looked like high-heels.

It also looked like he was having a nice time. Laughing and smiling, acting all pervy like he used to, believe me, I didn't get that side of me out of thin air. So I wanted that idiot to run his heart out while his little brother tailed him.

I tackled him to the ground hard and panted heavily while he laid down. Orion still ran a hell of a long distance for a dude who wore high-heels. "Gotcha" I wheezed and brushed the dirt off of my clothes.

"I guess you did" he said then sat up. "Damn Hira. I didn't think you could run that far"

"That's my line, Mr.High-heels master of the Indoors"

"Oh shut up" his body bolted up and dragged me down with him so that I landed on my back hard knocking the wind out of me a little bit. "At any rate, where are we?" He asked while I gasped for air.

We were under that huge tree in the center of the city. You know, the tree where Team Shadow Gear was crucified by Gajeel Redfox. The place where Laxus Dreyer destroyed Gajeel Redfox. The place where treasure was supposedly underneath, making Natsu Dragneel work with the celestial spirit Virgo trying to find it.

"Mongolia" I wheezed while trying to fin the Fairy Tail guild with my finger. "Eh?! Mongolia?! The city that Fairy Tails'!" Orion asked distressfully. "Aye sir!" I said trying my best to imitate the blue exceed.

He grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me violently. "We're still on bad terms with Fairy Tail! What if they find us? They'll report us instantly" the panicky Orion was starting to show again. I shot an uppercut with my right hand then caught him with my left arm.

"Yo, calm down. We're doing random stuff, remember. Stuff like this doesn't matter." I kicked myself up then brushed myself off. After I was clean enough I offered my hand to him, ironic isn't it?

About a week ago I walked away from my older brother, almost deserting him like I tried to do when we were kids. But today I offered my hand to him, after all, we have one of the strongest connections in the world. We're brothers!

Orion towered over me when he took my hand and stood up. Damn, even without his heels he was a head taller than me, a 5'10 guy. "Thanks, little guy" he teased recognizing his height

"I can still give you a hell of a Charlie horse" I said with a threatening fist up. He waved both of his hands that send "noooo" message an I smiled at that dorky answer. "Thought so"

Just then it feels if I was swiped off of my feet by a giant whip and land on my back. "Longer legs, mofo" he laughed. I hugged the back of my head and groaned in pain. New age Orion wouldn't do this to his precious brother, I thought to myself and laughed myself up. "Best start running with those long legs" I chuckled.

"Nope" he smiled. I charged at him aiming at his giant legs trying to chop him down like the lower part of his body was a white pine tree. Orion kicked his sandal off and hits me in the center of the face. While I was daze but still rushing forward he caught me with his longer arms around my head.

"I'm still your older brother" he said and roughly pulled my whole body closer by my head. My fists pounded on his chest but his grip stayed tight while he still walked. All I could do was look down to see him put on his sandal then walk forward.

"Hey, O-ri. Where are we going?" I asked muffled into his hand. "There's a reason why I didn't let Irene take you to a bakery" he answered. I felt my chest get a lot lighter when I processed that.

"We're going to a bakery?!" My voice probably sounded like a little kid which attracted a lot of attention.

"Yeah, Hira. We're going to a bakery so I can buy you something then say sorry"

"By then I won't care because we'd have bakery stuff. Just apologize now if it hurts you that bad" he still held me right against his muscular chest. That robe thing made him look wimpy but his real body was big and buff.

Orion sighs and his grip gets looser. "Hiraku, you're my little brother and the last member of my family. I would never, ever want to hit you even if you killed a person."

There was a certain centre sound in his voice. This was also a side of him I haven't seen since Uzo's time, Orion's soft side.

"I'm so so so sorry for hitting you and saying that bad, stuff last week" he kept his voice and his steps steady. "Like I said. You're my little brother and I love you. With all my heart, really. And even though I haven't had the time to tell you so, remember that"

He stops walking after awhile and pats the top of my head. "Can you forgive me?" He unwraps his arm around my head and let's me stand up straight again.

At first I couldn't even look him in the eyes. All I could do was smile in the other direction. He felt so much worse about this than I thought, Irene was right. Orion couldn't do something like that and blame me entirely, like how I couldn't be mad at only him for hitting me.

I laughed nervously and looked down.When I found the words I bit my lip and looked to the side again with my hands in my pockets. "Geez, bro. You're so soft with this thing. Of course I forgive the best big brother in the world." I finished with finally looking at his face and a pitiful smile.

As much as I hated to admit it, I might never see him the same after he kicked the crap out of me. How he just let loose and broke into using his hands so quickly. I'd forgive him, but would I forget or move on? No...

But he tried so damn hard, I couldn't crush him by saying that.

My older brother puts his arms around me. Gently. Then walks in the bakery with his elbow on my shoulder.

Extra...

"Oh damn! I know this place!" Hiraku says hysterically. His older brother raises an eyebrow then points to him with his thumb. "Is this normal?" He asks to the baker behind the counter.

"Very much so" the strange looking baker says. "Located in Mongolia. A Fairy Tail wizard is a regular customer here. That attracts people to this proud bakery"

"Amazing..." Orion says with thought while Hiraku tries keeping his laughter in. "What does this regular customer order regularly?"

"Strawberry Cake" the baker and Hiraku say at the same time. Hiraku was smiling like an idiot while the baker looked at him a little shocked.

"Let me guess. Did she also buy all the 50 cakes you made today... Again?!" The younger Ghiest bursted out in laughter. The baker didn't even know what to be more shocked about, how Hiraku knew the customer was a she, how many cakes she buys regularly, or the fact that it's happened multiple times.

While his younger brother was laughing and the person serving him was speechless, Orion was forced to stand there trying to understand what "Strawberry Cakes" meant
