Chapter 31 - Raion has woken up

There Baskia sat, his leg trapped in Korons spell, while Veter looked deeply into his eyes with that cocky grin of his. Veter had knelt down before Baskia and had taken him into his embrace. During the brief moment, before he had kissed Baskia, he had only one thing on his mind.

Veter "I've been waiting for this moment for some time and now I finally have the courage to do it. Baskia I hope this makes you happy. Because I know that I will be." Was Veters last thoughts before embracing Baskia. Now Veter sat in front of Baskia with his elbows resting on his legs, his hands supporting his face that starred admirably at Baskia.

Veter "Baskia, tell me did I make you happy?"

Baskia still surprised by what Veter had done couldn't process his thoughts properly.

Baskia "Kiss? ah, happy?"

Veter let out a slight chuckle and ran his hand through Baskia's shaggy blonde hair. He stopped himself for an abrupt moment and looked down at Baskia "I never would have thought that his hair would feel so soft. It just makes me even more attracted to him." He mumbled to himself.

Baskia "Your hands, that feels nice."

Veter "Ah so now you decided to talk. Only when it benefits you typical Baskia."

Baskia "That's not true! I just don't know what to say. Or what I should do!" Baskia buries his face into his hands I still can't believe it. This moment for me feels surreal. Veter!?"

Veter jumps back a bit at the sudden outburst of hearing his name come from Baskia. Baskia voice sounded so heartfelt. "Yes, Baskia?"

Baskia "I'm happy, Veter! I'm so happy!" His body begins to tremble as the tears run down his face more and more. Veter's facial expressions instantly change, he kneels back down to Baskia. So that he's now face to face with him, he then removes Baskia's hands from covering his face and wipes his tears away. "I'm glad." He says with his huge smile plastered on his face. Though his words towards Baskia were short-lived. None of that had mattered to Baskia he could tell by the way Veter looked at him, with such devotion and kindness coming through. The way he tenderly brushed his tears away. These were the signs that Veter was truly happy for Baskia and that he had genuinely felt love for him.

Veter "Let's get you out of this now, shall we? Or would you rather have me kiss you again?" He said with a sly smirk on his face.

Baskia lightly touched his lips where Veter kissed him. Before he could say anything more there was movement in the distance.

Raion had slowly started to wake up. He opened his eyes and started to position himself upwards.

Baskia "Raion?! Don't move you're injured."

Veter "Baskia is right you took quiet some magic. Your body needs time to recover."

Raion "Everything hurts more now that I'm actually awake." He looks over Veter who's sitting next to Baskia who is trapped in one of Koron spells. He quickly shifts his eyes over to koron. Koron was currently past out with the sword sticking out of his chest that Raion had previously thrown at Koron.

Raion "What happened here?!"

Baskia and Veter exchanged glances at one another.

Veter "Wait Raion, you don't know?"

Raion "Know what?! Why is Koron bleeding over there and what is going on with your leg Baskia? Someone just tells me what's going on right now!"

Baskia "Raion it's..."

Raion clutches his head and positions himself into a fetal position. "Ugh!! It hurts my head, why does my head hurt so much!"

Baskia "Are you alright Raion?!" Baskia gives off this concerned look as he yells towards Raion. Veter notices the expression shown on Baskia's face.

Veter "Don't worry Baskia?" He says as he rubs his hand through his hair one last time before departing over towards Raion.

Raion "Please someone makes this stop. This pain is unbearable."

Veter "This sounds worse then what happened with our magic." He says to himself. Veter reaches Raion and pulls him into his lap. He holds him while Raion screams through the pain. The only thing Veter can do is to be there for Raion.

Baskia "I wish I could be of some use.."

Veter turns to face Baskia giving him a glare.

Baskia "What?!"

Veter "Don't start with that again."

Baskia "I'm not. I'm not I promise!"

Veter "Plus Baskia to be honest, I don't think I'm doing much for him at the moment. This is something he has to go through on his own. There's nothing we can do but wait. It's sad to say this but it's all we can do."

Veter and Baskia both sat there patiently waiting for their friend Raion to recover. Raion was not the only one who felt pain during the whole situation, Baskia felt the pain of hearing Raion screaming, while the suffering Veter perceived was seeing his now close friend Raion at his lowest mark. As well as witnessing the person he loves to go through all of this.

Moments had passed by and Raions immense suffering had finally come to a halt. Raion now moved away from Baskia grasp and finally stood up.

Veter "Raion should you be standing like that? You still have to recover."

Raion " I actually feel fine. Nothing hurts anymore... It's like all that screaming I did relinquish all my pain I was feeling previously. It's strange but I have no other explanation behind it. "

Baskia "Raion thank goodness you're alright! I was so worried about you."

Raion "Baskia!? Please do ever feel the need to worry about me. Nothing can defeat me!" He lets out-loud laughter and clenches his stomachs"Okay maybe laughing is off the table for now."

Veter and Baskia both let out a hearty laugh.

Veter "And here I thought everything would have been different with you, but you're still the same Raion before."

Raion "Different why would anything be different with me.?"

Baskia "He seriously doesn't know does he."

Veter "It appears that way."

Raion "Can someone tell me again what the fuck is happening now. like why are you trapped and why Koron is fucking laying over there with a massive sword sticking out of him. Where did that sword even come from?!"
