Elesis: Blazing heart

"We're home! Did you miss us?" Rena stated cheerfully. She waved her hands in the air with bags on her forearms. They looked a lot like shopping bags. Was that what she did with her mission's money? Elsword sweatdropped.

Elesis however didn't share the same happy expression. In fact, it was the complete opposite of Rena's. She was scowling and wore a scary glare on her face. And it was set in Elsword's direction.

'Oh my God…what did I do?' Elsword froze in his place.

"…What do you think you're doing…?" He couldn't see her face as she approached closer to him.

"W-what d-d-do you m-mean?" Elsword couldn't control the stutters that limped out of his lips. He was frozen earlier but now he was quaking in fear. He saw her angry before and it was not a pretty sight. He tried extremely hard to control the impulse to step back and hide under a table.

She left no room between the both of them. The sight scared him so badly that he thought his sweat was urine, "U-um.." As hard he tried, he couldn't utter a word.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO MY BROTHER?!" Elesis grabbed Add's shirt and shook him back and forth at a god-like speed, "ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON HIM? KILL HIM?!"

Elsword stood there trying to process what happened. So…he wasn't in trouble? He gazed blankly at the spot Elesis was previously standing at. Once the thought sunk into his brain, he let out a huge sigh. He didn't even realize he held his breath for that long. Words couldn't describe how relieved he felt. When his sister lost her fuse, she was like a hoard of rampaging elephants.

He had actually forgotten about Add. He forced himself to come back to reality and saw that Elesis was strangling the poor guy.

"Elesis stop! You're going to kill him!" Rena tried to pry the angry girl off of Add.

"Why should I care?! He was attacking my Elsword!"

"How do you know that?! It looks like they were just cooking together! I'm sure it was a totally innocent scene!"

"Since when have they ever got along?!" Elesis looked like she was about to end his life in a painful way after asking the question. Her eyes changed to yellow evil sparkles that promised to deliver what she claimed.

Elsword was worried that she was going to get out of hand. While Add was an annoying bastard, he didn't deserve to die, "Uhh Elesis, we were really just cooking. He wasn't attacking me, really!" He put his hands out in an attempt to calm her down.

The hands that held Add in the air lost its strength, "Are you sure?" Her eyes narrowed to see if he was telling the truth. When she determined that he wasn't spilling lies to save the older's behind, she left Add coughing for air on the floor and ran to hug Elsword, "Waah, my cute Elsword! I'm glad you're safe!"

"You make it sound like I was going to die! Shouldn't it be me saying that to you?" Elsword was happy his sister was back to normal, but he couldn't breathe! Rena helped by prying his sister off of him.

"T-thanks," He said while catching his breath. Elesis pouted but didn't say anything about it.

"But woah, I guess leaving you both alone was a good idea. So what made you both see terms?"

Elsword gave Rena a dull stare, "We didn't."

"What do you mean?" Rena was confused.

"Well because you decided to rant to a certain alchemist, he decided to prank us…" Elsword started off slowly. He did say he would give her an earful, "Do you know how annoying it is? He freaking won't stop touching me and it's like he follows me everywhere I go! Aisha can even tell you!"

Rena put her hands to her lips, "Oh my. I certainly did not expect that."

Behind her was an Elesis growing darker and bigger, "Won't stop following you, you say?" Her hair started flying. She approached the Add that was writhing on the floor, still trying to consume oxygen, "So your following Elsword are you…?"

Elsword froze again. Crap. He had forgotten about his sister's overprotective side.

OoOoOoOo

It was the afternoon now and Elsword didn't have anything to do. After both his sister and Rena came back, they lounged around the house in boredom. Shopping was apparently the only thing girls thought about because Rena wanted to get back to that and dragged Elesis and Aisha with her. She wanted to spoil them was what she said, "A girls day out."

Elsword yawned and walked into the living room. He saw Add look up at him with widened eyes. He quickly broke off eye contact and left the room.

?

Was it him or did Add look a bit guilty?

It was probably his imagination.

Now he would have kept thinking it was his imagination, but everytime Elsword ran into the older, he would avert his eyes and quickly exit the room.

What the heck? First he was being all loving and cuddly and now he was avoiding him?

He was happy that the boy didn't rub on his personal bubble, but he was more concerned than happy.

Yes, he was dumb. Everyone including himself always told him that, but he at least knew the silverette was upset about something. What that something was he couldn't figure out. The only thing to be upset about was Elesis, but Add usually never minded her. Plus what did she have to do with him?

Unable to come up with any reasons, Elsword went to confront Add. He found himself standing right outside of his room. Elsword wasn't sure what to expect, but he tried mentally preparing himself anyways, "Hey Add?" Elsword called out after knocking the door.

He heard noise scuffling inside the room, but it didn't sound like they were getting closer to the door. Elsword waited patiently for about five minutes before knocking again, "Add? Open up!"

No sounds could be heard now. Elsword, out of concern and worry, kicked open the door. It rattled loudly and Elsword found an empty room. Elsword's eyes wandered to the window after he finished scanning the room. He froze in place, trying to register the scene in front of him.

The curtain was knotted and thrown out the window. Elsword ran up to the window, still in shock. He glanced down to find Add at the bottom of the curtain on the ground. So the whole time he stood out the door Add was trying to escape from him? Oh hell no. That's not how it worked!

Add looked up in surprise. The moment he made eye contact with Elsword, he took off running as fast as he could.

Elsword felt a vein pop inside his head. With a surge of anger suddenly taking over his body, he jumped out of the window, which he realized wasn't the smartest choice after feeling a sore ankle. He tested it by putting a bit of weight on it and ended up falling on his butt. Crap, he must've sprained it.

He stood up again to try to go after Add, but at his pace he knew he wasn't going to make it very far. Elsword let out a small string of curses for his impulsive actions.

Add didn't see or hear anything from the red-head after he lunged out the window. He was a bit scared to face the younger, but he could always keep his distance and run if he got too close.

He walked back cautiously to where Elsword was. When he laid his eyes on him, he told himself to screw the plan he made just a moment ago. Elsword looked like he fell on his face. Did he get knocked out from the fall? It was Elsword he was talking about, so something like that wouldn't be unexpected.

"Uhh…Els?" He hovered over the Lord Knight.

The younger boy quickly rolled over and grabbed the silverette by his shirt, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Red eyes were crinkled in irritation.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Was all Add could manage to say. He was taken by surprise from the question.

Elsword snorted, "Oh, I just jumped out the window looking for you. Now answer my question."

"What do you mean?"

Elsword let out an annoyed sigh before rephrasing his question, "You've been avoiding me. Why?"

Oh. That's what he meant.

"Uhh…" Add's tongue was glued to his jaw. He didn't know how to answer the question.

The silence emphasized that point. Elsword was the first to break it, "I don't get why you're ignoring me all of a sudden. I have no freaking idea if I did something wrong or what. It's kinda worrisome that you're clinging to me all day long and then the next moment you're trying to avoid me as much as you can."

Add looked at Elsword for a long time before settling on the decision to tell him, "You said I was annoying you because I kept touching you."

Elsword blinked, "Huh?"

"You said I was annoying because I kept touching you," Add repeated firmly.

"I said that because I was feeling frustrated. I mean yes you are annoying, but…" Elsword paused, "I don't…hate it. The way you act I mean."

Add's eyes widened in surprise but kept silent in case the younger wanted to add anything else in.

Elsword chewed on his bottom lip before continuing, "Although you're annoying, you're still my friend. And I worry about my friends when they act out of character although you already are doing that."

Add felt himself smile a small smile. It seems like he worried over nothing. But if he hadn't, he would have never heard Elsword say those words, so it was fine. He asked another question to clarify the limits, "Should I stop then? Or is it…?"

Elsword looked down at the ground. He already said more than his pride had wanted him to say. He closed his eyes trying to decide. Letting out his frustration he pulled wildly on his hair and let out a small yell. He sighed and voiced his decision before his pride could prevent it, "You don't have to stop. It's only for one more day anyways."

Add visually brightened up and gave Elsword a heartwarming hug. He was happy he had gotten permission from the other. Not to mention it was an adorable sight to see the red-head being frustrated.

"You know, you're kinda creepy when you're being all sweet. I'm more used to you verbally beating me down until I'm tempted to murder you," Elsword let out a chuckle and allowed himself to enjoy the moment. He patted Add's back in an attempt to return the hug he received.

Add felt a chuckle escape him as well. It was nice to see the other boy smile genuinely.

Add couldn't help but feel the urge to lean in closer and place his hand over Elsword's cheek. He at least restrained himself from doing that much. He didn't already want to make the boy feel uncomfortable after being allowed to touch him. He placed his forehead on Elsword's, "Thank you Elsword."

Conflicted red eyes met with purple. Elsword didn't know how to respond to the situation. The small physical affection felt nice, but awkward and slightly uncomfortable at the same time. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to think on it too long.

Add ended up falling over from standing in a crouched position for too long which placed the majority of his weight over Elsword.

He let out a wail of pain, "Oh sorry! I forgot about your leg! Let's get you back inside," Add gently lifted the Lord Knight onto his back and walked back to the cottage.

Elsword felt thankful that Add fell onto his leg. Of course, he didn't appreciate the pain but what would have happened if he hadn't fallen on him?

Elsword swallowed and just let himself be carried away by Add. He thought he faintly smelled the scent of mint.

OoOoOoOo

"We're back from shopping!" The girls came noisily back inside the house with their arms full of shopping bags.

Elsword glanced from the couch he was laying on in terror. He tried to count the bags but gave up when he reached ten, "How much ED did you spend?!"

"Oh about…eh, maybe 700K?" Rena tossed out a wild guess. And that was the scary part. It didn't sound like she was sure of how much she spent.

"You people are crazy…" Elsword muttered to himself. Rena pretty much went on a shopping spree twice in a day.

"Crazy?" Aisha sent a temperature chilling glare in his direction.

"Nothing!"

"Els!" A wail loudly screeched in his ear.

"W-what?! What's wrong?" Elsword's eyes widened in panic.

"What happened to your ankle?!" He felt arms smothering him in a breath-stealing hug. Literally.

"I would explain…if I can breathe…" Elsword wheezed out in pain.

"Sorry," Elesis let out a small chuckle and released him.

Elsword took in a couple of breaths before continuing, "I jumped out of a window."

"YOU WHAT?!" Elesis's eyes almost bulged out of its sockets. Elsword had no intentions of getting Add in trouble, especially after what Elesis did to him earlier, "You see…"

"Was it Add?! DO I NEED TO BEAT HIM UP?" Elesis turned to face the direction of Add's room and cracked her fists.

"No! No, it wasn't him. You see…I was doing the laundry and…um, I tripped and fell out the window because the basket was heavy."

Rena, Elesis, and Aisha stared at him, not even blinking once. Elsword let out an awkward laugh and tried to escape by walking out of the room. Having one girl stare you down was scary and three was just…absolutely terrifying. The things he does for his friends…

Elsword ended up placing too much pressure on his sprained ankle and fell for the third time of the day, "Oww!"

Aisha sighed and facepalmed herself, "If you're going to lie, at least make it believable idiot."
