GL: Okay, time to focus back on the main field. That is if I have time to do something like that. Then again, I hardly have any spare time so I digress.
Elesis's PoV
A few weeks have passed and now it was snowy today. Elsword and I were walking to school... Well, I wouldn't exactly say walking myself. I actually decided to bring my bycicle to school today, since I haven't used it for a long time. Ironically, that bike is what I was using when I got a job as a newspaper delivery girl.
"It's kind of rare to see you on a bike, sis..." Elsword commented.
"I know." I answered plainly. To be honest, he was right. I stopped using my bike after I got another job. Most of the weren't really bike-related and I'd rather walk and use the transport to get to my destination. I don't know why, though.
"It's been awhile, actually. You want a ride?" I asked him as I got an idea. I removed my bag behind me and placed it on the cargo basket. I moved forward a bit and showed him his seat. It was a spare back seat where a person can sit and relax and enjoy the view. Elsword wouldn't mind sitting on it. Although, I probably shouldn't have bought a kids version of it, because when he saw it, he karate-chopped me on the head angered as he thought I was treating him like a little kid. "I-It was just a joke." I stuttered as I was aching and touching the bump on my head with both of my hands.
"Hmph!" is what he replied to me as I let out a sigh.
"Oh! It's Elsword and Elesis!" We both heard Aisha calling out to us with Rena.
"They're as happy together as ever, aren't they?" Rena smiled. Aisha just rolled her eyes.
"Good morning, you two!" Aisha greeted us.
"A very good morning to you both!" Rena greeted with a smile again.
"Good morning, Aisha, Rena." We both greeted together. Somehow, I've gotten myself used to Aisha and Rena for some reason, even though I'm not good at these things. Is it because of Elsword? Right now, they have no suspicion when seeing me around, but I'm still worried so I kept my guard up.
"So what are you two doing so early in the morning?" Aisha asked us.
"Elsword got angry when I invited him to ride on the back seat." I explained.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have given him the kids version." Rena told me. I rolled my eyes when I already knew.
"Anyway, this is pretty much what I thought it would look like." I explained to the three how Elsword would look like in the back seat. He would gaze around the area while leaning on me softly. Then he would fall asleep as I slowly pedalled. It was so cute, I was almost about to get a nosebleed.
I looked at Elsword who looked disgusted about my idea. "That's something a girl would do!" He growled at me. "And just so you know; I'm NOT a girl."
"Come on, you'll look so cute and-" Before I could finish, a loud voice rang to my ears.
"SOOOOO ADORABLE!" Rena screamed out like an elephant, I was almost shaking like a gong that has been banged hard.
"I know, right!?" I immediately reacted. I'm somewhat happy that Rena supported me with that comment. He would indeed look adorable.
"Rena too?" Aisha squeaked as Elsword twitched. He turned and suddenly went ahead. "H-Hey! Wait up!" Aisha followed. We began to realise that the two of them were leaving without us, so we ran to catch up.
"Anyways, it's a lot colder today, isn't it?" Elsword, who was shivering, asked us.
"Well, it is winter season." Rena replied.
"I hate the cold though." I quietly said trying to get the scarf up to my mouth. I was never used to the cold. One time I came out in the snow with just a shirt and some pants, I began to feel like I was inside a freezer. That's why I had to wear shorts underneath my skirt and a coat and a scarf.
"You've only got a scarf on though, Elsword. Aren't you cold?" Aisha asked Elsword.
"I couldn't finish the wash in time..." He answered. We sort of forgot to wash Elsword's coat last night, so I had to give him only a scarf. "Brrrr. If I don't warm up in the classroom soon... I'll probably die."
"Would you like to borrow some gloves?" Rena offered him gloves which made me twitch.
"No thanks, Rena. I don't want you to get cold because of me."
I refused to stand and do nothing as I let my beloved brother freeze to death. I began to undo the buttons on my coat.
"Elesis... Why are you opening the front of your coat?" Aisha, who noticed me, asked. I didn't answer.
I walked in front of Elsword who looked up at me confused to what I was doing. To make him understand, I let out my arms and smiled. "Come to me, Elsword! I'll warm you with my body heat!" I said charmingly.
"AS IF!" Both Elsword, Aisha and Rena shouted at the same time.
"All due respect, Elesis, but you're being too bold..." Rena told me.
"No..." I said when she misunderstood. "It's just that it's so cold."
"What about being a proper older sister and taking off your coat and lending it to Elsword?"
"I think easy self-sacrifice is a fool's means to an end." I told her. "Besides, it would be weird for a girl to give a boy her coat, despite the age." I may care about my brother but I also worry about my temperature as well. "Personally, making both warm is the best to go about doing it."
"You're forgetting how hard it would be to walk..." Rena warned us.
"Yeah, you wouldn't be able to move." Elsword agreed. I hate to admit it, but they're right. Walking while stuck together would be hard to move around.
But I had more tricks up my sleeves. "...Then how about I carry you and walk?" I asked as I imagine myself carrying Elsword while he's inside my coat with me.
"CARRY!?" Aisha and Rena shouted at the same time. Elsword twitched as he hit me in the head once again.
"No good, huh?" I sighed feeling the other bump on my head.
"I wouldn't quite say 'no good'..." I heard Rena say but decided to ignore it to avoid Elsword getting mad again. "Carrying... is a tad much... is what I'm trying to say." I sighed again as we continued walking to school.
"Hey, Elesis." I heard Aisha call me. "What about your bike?"
"Ah. Yeah. I'll take the bike into the account as well." I replied to her.
"Um... I don't think that's quite what she meant by that..." Rena sweatdropped.
"Basically... With the bike, the both of you will be able to move, and neither of you will get frozen by the cold." I explained.
"No carrying." Aisha reminded me.
"No carrying, huh..." I began to slightly sulk.
"You look pretty disappointed." Elsword said as he looked at me plainly.
"Y-You wanted to do it!?" Rena gasped.
'Isn't it obvious?' I thought as I stared at Rena.
I decided to let Elsword take my coat. The only problem was I was taller than him, so the coat was... too big for him to wear. "Looks like my coat's too big." I sighed. "We'll be stacking em' on top of each other. How about I'll give you my scarf instead?"
"... I guess that could work." Elsword replied. I was happy as I lend my scarf to him.
"She's taking care of him like a good older sister, isn't she?" I heard Rena say.
"I bet the sleeves of her coat would drag on him." I heard Aisha said which I chose to ignore as she was being a bit cruel to us.
I began wrapping my scarf around Elsword. I must have forgot to realise that my scarf had a longer length than his, because as soon as I finished wrapping, I couldn't see his face anymore because it was covered. "WHA-!? He's headless!?" Is what came out of my voice, while Aisha and Rena face faulted (anime fall).
"Seems like your scarf's too long as well." Rena told me.
"Yeah... I really miscalculated this one." I replied as I sweatdropped. I didn't think my scarf would be long enough to wrap up Elsword's entire head. To make it more awkward, Elsword didn't say anything. He just stood there.
"You know, if it's too long, how about you both share one scarf?" Aisha asked.
The light bulb on my head dinged. "Why didn't I think of that?" I unwrapped the scarf and wrapped half of it around myself. Now I had the half while Elsword had the other. Both of us were sharing the scarf. It made me very happy because it looked like we're a couple. I could do nothing but smile with happiness while Elsword didn't object to anything, rather he still didn't say anything.
"It's like..." Aisha began commenting. "You're walking a pet."
"HOLD IT!" I shouted when I realised that Aisha was getting the wrong idea. Elsword and Rena just face faulted.
Elsword's PoV
After minutes of walking, we finally reached Elder Jumior High School. All four of us were freezing cold, we could hardly move properly.
"Guess it's warmer inside..." I commented.
"But it's still cold, though." Elesis pleaded as she was still shivering.
"It's not as cold as the outside, but the halls are pretty chilly too." Rena explained. But we're gong to be relieved as we get to the classroom, because we have a heater in that room and it's been running since school started today.
"At least we can finally warm up." I gave a sigh of relief as I opened the classroom door.
"Right." Aisha agreed. "I want to get nice and warm too! I've had enough of this chilly feeling already."
We all approach inside the room excited for that warm sensation. "Finally! It's-"
We all thought the room would be heated up, but we might have gotten our hopes a little too high because the room was; "FREEZING!?" Rena, Aisha and I shouted at the same time while frozen. "C-C-COOLD!" Elesis just looked at the heater sweatdropping.
Elesis's PoV
I thought we could finally relax with some heat, but cold is all I felt in the classroom. 'What's the big idea!?' was in my mind. I examined the heater since it was not turned on. But for some reason, I couldn't get it to work.
"I guess the heater stopped broke down..." Aisha sweatdropped.
"Don't tell me this is the teacher's fault." I replied with a anger tone.
"Maybe she tripped over and the heater just happened to be in the way..." Rena suggested. She actually has a point because our teacher is quite clumsy.
"Yeah!" Elsword agreed.
After finding that out, I was going to leave the classroom until Rena asked me something. "Where are you going, Elesis?" She asked.
"To see, Ms. Luchiel..." I then began to lower my tone out of anger and rage. "And break her."
"BREAK!?" The three shouted at the same time. I was going to make her pay for making us freeze even more as I couldn't take the cold any longer. Unfortunately, the three stopped me for gong out of the classroom. Eventually, I gave up and decided to hold on for just a bit longer.
"Looks like we won't be able to use it all day today..." Rena sighed as she couldn't get the heater to work either.
"Brrrr. F-Freezing all day doesn't sound v-very appealing." I shivered while folding my arms to warm myself up.
"I'll try and fix it." Aisha volunteered. "This will be our chance!"
"Just to remind you that you're a magician, not an engineer." Elsword stated.
"You sure you can repair it?" Rena asked. She didn't volunteer because she was never good with mechanical things.
"No problem. I'll just use my electricity to get the heater working again with some supercharged power."
"GIVE IT UP!" The rest of us shouted loudly as we agreed to not let Aisha do it.
"Is this the heater that's broken?" We both turn to see a tall man carrying a toolbox. He was wearing an engineer suit so it made sense if he was going to repair it. He had yellow eyes and a scar on his face. I saw his ID hanging on his suit, and it looks like his name is 'Raven'.
"Ah! Yes! It is!" Rena stuttered a bit as she snapped out of her stare.
"Thank you. I'll have it running by second period." He replied.
"By then?" Elsword asked surprised to how long it will take to fix the heater.
"That's surprisingly fast..." I commented. "Guess we'll just have to bear with it for the whole of first period." I let out a sign as the cold feeling was coming back to me.
"H-Hey! Sis..." I noticed my little brother pulling my jacket.
"What is it, Elsword?" I asked him. He then asked me a favour that shocked me when my heart skipped a beat as I couldn't possibly turn down that kind of offer from him.
"Come to think of it..." I heard Rena talking to us. "Will you be alright with the cold, Elsword?"
He couldn't answer. Neither could I, because the both of us were having the best feeling of our lives. "...Just fine." He answered. Elsword offered me to be inside my coat with me together just to warm himself up with me to increase the body heat. I instantly agreed because I want to feel his soft skin and touch into me.
"Awww! Isn't that nice of you, Elesis?" Rena chuckled.
'It was actually Elsword's idea.' Is what I would like to say but I was having too much fun cuddling with Elsword in my coat. I was in heaven.
GL: Total heaven that's for sure! Anyway, that should be done for now. Looks like Raven has made the appearance... as an engineer. But don't worry, he'll quit his job soon. See you in the next chapter!
