"Whoo, another practice over!" Stella cheered loudly as the girls made it to their rooms, earning reactions ranging of hums of approval to eye-rolls. Though, they were relieved for the most part. Although training certainly helped their group to bond and strengthen their powers, it was certainly tiring.

Flora hummed, splitting ways from the group as they reached their rooms. Bloom had something or another going on; Something about a prank to pull on Stella. So, she had the split room to herself.

She let her hair fall from its high ponytail, ruffling it out before brushing it. It certainly was a long day of training, and honestly she felt it to be draining. 'But,' She thought, smiling as she put her brush down. 'It was their hard work that helped them to be able to sustain peace.' That analogy came from her ever-loved boyfriend. And, she had to agree. Really, it was thoughts of him that kept her practicing, at the most tiring moments.

Helia was an absolute sweetheart. He was considerate, sweet, understanding, and Flora absolutely adored him. He would pick her up at the worst of times, and help to cure the painful shyness she adorned. A natural introvert she was, she mused, as she lay down on her bed, picking her phone up.

Oh, quite a few new messages. She grinned as she noticed the excited lettering. 'Flora, I have news! Text me back ASAP!' Flora couldn't help but giggle at the eagerness of the message. Only Igor.

Flora: Igor! What's up?

Igor: Geez, only took two years to reply

Flora: Training today,, Anyway, what's up?

Igor: So, I have the greatest news!

Igor is typing…

Flora could only grin as the boy texted back. However, as he sent his reply, Flora was cut off as Stella barged in, and Flora let out a small 'eek' as she sat up. Stella cocked her eyebrow. "Was I interrupting something? Was it Helia? Or that kid, Igor, was it?" She teased as Flora flushed lightly.

"It was nothing. Anyway, what's wrong, Stella? I thought you were meeting with Brandon?" Her eccentric cousin. Stella's grin widened as she pulled Flora up. "I am!" She said, eyes glittering. "However, Brandon tells me Helia's coming too." She said happily, as Flora scrambled to get up. Stella rolled her eyes as she threw an outfit at her. "Stella, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Just found out. Brandy texted me moments ago." She shrugged, facing away as Flora hastily changed into her other clothing. Flora quirked an eyebrow. Helia hadn't given her a text. Still, she shrugged it off, grabbing her sandals as she followed Stella downstairs.

"Soo, how's Helia been anyway? It's been a bit, huh?" Stella asked, as the two walked peacefully. Flora smiled. "Lovely, as always. He's been sorta busy with training and stuff, but fantastic nonetheless." Flora said, happily.

Stella rolled her eyes. "You guys are so fluffy, I sweaaar." She exaggerated, making Flora giggle. "Not as much as you and my dorky cousin." She pointed out, making Stella shrug. "True, true. Oooh, what's the dets on that Igor kid? The mayor's son? The totally adorable skater-dude?" Stella asked, teasingly. Flora could only roll her eyes. "Igor? He's been texting me non-stop." This made Stella laugh. "I know. He nearly blows up your phone nowadays." Flora could only chuckle and nod.

"He'll text me at three am to tell me about the new shoes he bought. He keeps forgetting about the time difference!" She exclaimed, making Stella laugh. It was true. Igor's timezone was seven hours ahead of theirs, making his morning their late-night.

"You know, you two sound like a- Oh, Brandon!" Stella dropped her sentence at the sight of her boyfriend, nearly toppling him over as she hug attacked him. Flora only grinned at the two. "Hey, Brandon." She said, catching up to the two. Brandon smiled to Flora as he let go of Stella. "Hey, sunshine, Flora." He smiled, giving Flora a mini-hug. She parted after a moment, before looking curiously to the gate. "I thought you said that-"

"I'm right here." Helia said, driving up the three before getting off his bike and taking his helmet off to reveal a smile. Brandon rolled his eyes. "That, my dude, was a dramatic entrance. Even by my standards." Brandon said, playfully. "Anywho, you two kids have fun. Stella and I have plans in Magix." He said, as Helia rolled his eyes and Flora nodded. He handed Stella a helmet, and soon enough, the two were off.

Helia looked to Flora, happy to see her. Maybe they could talk for a bit. Perhaps to put his tensions at ease, he decided. "Hey, Flora. Do you want me to leave my bike here? We can walk to the forest, if you'd like. I didn't have any real plans" He admitted, making Flora smile.

"That sounds perfect. Let's go." She quickly said, reaching up to kiss him on the cheek. The two linked gazes, before walking together, hand in hand. They relished the quiet, with the occasional chattering.

They had made it to the forest, and they decided to sit near a nice shady spot by a tree. A place they often had gone to. The same tree, in fact, that they had made that promise from long ago.

There seemed to be nothing wrong. Maybe Helia was overthinking things, he thought as an hour passed and they conversed happily. Maybe things were perfectly fine.

Or at least he though, before Flora's phone went off.

"Your phone's ringing. You should get it." Helia pointed out, noticing the ringing phone. Flora nodded meekly, looking to the phone screen. With a giggle, she skimmed over her screen before putting the device away.

Helia raised an eyebrow as Flora looked to him, beaming. "She seems really happy by whatever the person sent." Helia noted, before speaking with his usual soft voice. "Who was it, Flora?"

Flora hummed softly. "Just a friend of mine. Remember Igor?" She replied, nonchalantly. Helia took a deep breath. "Remember, jealousy isn't healthy, Helia." He reminded himself, although finding his next question slipping out. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Oh?" Flora quirked her eyebrow, giving Helia playful look. "Getting intrusive here, aren't we?" She teased. A feat that Helia would be rather proud of her for, if it were not for the circumstance. "Just curious. That's all." He said, although his voice slightly more mellow than usual.

She only smiled. "He's coming back to Magix for a bit. It seems his skating is giving him a little break, and he's going to stay with his dad for a bit. His next gig is in Magix again!" She exclaimed. "He also has…something, he would like to visit. But, I can't disclose any information for that!" She said, laughing it off. As if it were a joke.

Helia knew she could have her… Dense, moments, but he didn't know she could hit this low. Couldn't she tell Igor was coming back to see her? Or, was she playing around with him? Helia took a deep breath in. He shouldn't jump to conclusions. Even so, this situation seemed irrational. It was obvious that Igor wanted to see her again.

"I thought figure skating season was over for the time being? Is he really coming back to skate?" He sounded snappier than he had expected, or at least, he presumed, because it was Flora's turn to look skeptical.

"It is. That's why he can come back to Magix for a bit. Everyone needs some relax time, Helia. Plus, he has family here. It only makes his next gig easier." Flora stated, looking curious to the specialist's change of demeanor.

"And this special someone?" Helia nearly snapped, his ice-cool eyes frozen over.

Flora blinked. Once, twice. She looked taken aback, before reaching to a strand of Helia's hair. "Helia… What's up? Why the sudden interest in Igor all of sudden?" Her voice was soft. "Is there something wrong? Since when are you so into him?"

Helia always told himself that he could pride himself on his word selection. He could always keep a cool demeanor, even in the toughest time. Yet, it seemed that all he prided himself upon decided to take a step back. "It's not me who I'm worried about 'being into him'." He said, his voice cold. "Even the first time you guys met, you guys seemed to be entranced by him. It's you, who I'm curious about Flora. Since when are you so into him?"

And for the first time in a while, Flora was speechless. She looked hurt. Like a wounded animal. Helia hadn't meant to sound so rough, but he said what he thought. He couldn't take the amount of sadness, disappointment in Flora's demeanor, so he took a step back. Literally.

"I have training to get back to. You should tell him I said hi." He curtly said, nearly cringing at his rough voice. He blocked out the "Wait!" Flora had said.

Afterall, who needed a measly poet when you had a handsome ice-skater to get to?

Oh, angst. My forte.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Winx fans! I was going to update on Sunday, but it ended up becoming a busy day. So, why not post on a holiday instead?

I have a mini present for you guys. I created a spotify playlist for my favourite flower couple! I'll post it in my bio since it doesn't post properly here, along with my fandom Instagram! Let's consider that the fluff to make up for this chapter's angst!

Notes:

- The POV was orignally going to be fully Flora, but somehow became Helia in the second half. Whoopsie!

- I know Helia sounds more upset then expected, but as shown by the first chapter, this wasn't a sudden thing. This was a feeling that was building up from the very beginning of chapter one. He's not one to jump to conclusions, but his emotions overtook him. After all, our boy's only human. Or well, are specialists human? Let's say humanistic. xD

- There will be some semblance of recovery in the next chapter. I don't want to give it away, though, so you'll have to wait and see!

- In the canon-verse, Helia actually got jealous of the whole thing but then supported her full on. Once again, his emotions really played into his blow-up.

- A bit of insecurity to which I actually wasn't planning to write from Helia showed up as well, although it was intended to be more saracastic. Oops-

That's all for now, Winx-fans! - Lili
