It was Saturday afternoon and the five of us took the train to our usual training spot. At that point, we already mastered getting Luna on and off the train. Astrid was still pestering us asking about the new spell, Luna gracefully accepted the fact that we would talk.

As soon as we arrived the older girl demanded that I spill.

"Nah ah ah," I tisked waving a finger, "you find out in the battle~." I teased, getting a pout in return. I shook my head at her adorable childish antics.

"It's only fair," luna projected, "in a real battle we wouldn't know any of our opponent's spells."

"So shall we get started?" I asked rhetorically, as I ushed the twins away from our "foes," we always start with some distance between us, usually about 10 meters.

My partners stood in front of me about a meter and a half an apart, they awaited my instructions.

"Give them the first move," Soon Luna came charging at us. "Hot rain!" I called out the pre-established plan of attack. Azoth ran behind his sister and grabbed her waist as I cast the spell ragyuugi as icy wings grew out of the boy's back. Once they formed he took to the air caring his sister "faikeru!" I called as a fireball flew down at Luna, who dodged it, she knew our normal strategies.

"Garankeru!" Astrid rebutted, causing Luna to shot a laser beam at them. They were able to outmaneuver it as I called for another fireball, which, like the last, did not meet its target.

I knew this pattern, so I decided to change things up a bit. "Too close to the sun!" I called, singling them to land. Why didn't I just tell him to land? Because that could make them vulnerable to attacks while landing, so I came up with a code word for that. The wording of this instruction came from the Greek myth of Icarus and his waxwings. Of course Luna knew this phrase, but unfortunately for her, her partner was distracted and didn't, cast their spell, allowing them to land safely. The unicorn was charging at them, but they did land. I then called out a maneuver that she really couldn't counter, "port star!." I ordered. That had them each go on one side of the opponent and rush at them. That's when I chose to do it. "Koroze rin!" and it happened our minds all merged.

And wow did that happen, Astrid was not thinking about the fight at all. Instead, she was fantasizing about me... sexually(but she viewed me with the body of a cis boy so that was cool)... we all froze, and Astrid didn't notice the spell which I dropped almost immediately. The twins were too young to truly understand her thoughts but they knew so that was good I guess? But Luna knew and I knew.

Astrid was the only one unphased by this experience. "What did that spell do!? That spell did nothing! Were you just yelling out spelly soundy things to distract me?! What!? why are you all staring at me?"

'Um... Astrid... that was a real spell... It's a mind-melding spell... We saw what you're thinking..." I said still stunned. I slowly walked over to her.

It took her a minute to process what just happened and what we all were privy to. When she did all color drained from her face. "Fuck! You weren't supposed to know no one was! Now everything will be all awkward cuz you don't feel the same way..."

I tentatively put a hand on her shoulder. "What makes you say that?" I asked with a smirk, before telling our demons to go away and give us some privacy. Which they thankfully did.

"You like me?" she asked.

"That depends do you like me for me or the body I unfriendly don't actually have because I'm trans and you forgot."

"I like you for you, not your body whichever it is."

as for what happened after, I shall not tell you, use your imagination or something... not that much... it remained rated G, ok, maybe PG, Anyways all you need to know is that we started going out. And we decided to not use that spell again during sparing matches and if we were to battle together and I was to cast that spell I would send out a word of warning, then a pause: gingu is the word of warning that we decided to use it sounds spell sounding. I don't remember how or who came up with the word, but we agreed on it because no one wanted a repeat of what had happened.
