" Soo... Cool now?". Ozo asked with his eyes sparkling in eagerness.
Sasha stroke his chin playfully thinking." Let me think.. should we?". He turned to face Nengi who shrugged." What do you want me to think?. He apologized so I forgave him whole heartedly." Nengi replied genuinely.
" Really?. Is that how you see it?. Nengi you -".
" You what?. C' mon say the words... I can see that you love trouble a great deal, and trust me, I will give you what you want when the time comes".
Sasha smiled mischievously, oblivious to the fact that Ozo's anger was like a volcano, ready to erupt anytime soon.
"Oh, so that means you will kiss me, when I tell you that I want one?".
Ozo was infuriated, while Nengi laughed out her heart with Bless. Ozo was not finding it funny at all.
" You better watch your tongue, bird!. Do I look like a girl to you?". Ozo's tone sharp and cut.
" Well... You do look like a girl now, the way you are whinnying". Sasha gave him a flirting wink, flashing a gorgeous smile, his words and actions making Ozo furious. And as a cord stretched beyond it's limit, Ozo was about to attack his mental energy, but Nengi feeling the torrent of energy, held him in place.
" Ozo, remember we are still in school, and everyone is watching... Control your anger".
And with that, Ozo's anger evaporated like the wind, without feeling any form of anger.
" Bless...?" Nengi called softly, followed by Sasha's scoffing and Ozo's piercing eyes, shooting daggers at him.
" Nengi?- is something wrong?". He asked confused.
'' I was wondering... Have you tried to summon your spirit beast?". Her question followed immediately by Ozo's confused and shocked looked. Noticing the look on Ozo's face,Nengi gave a slight chuckle, staring deep into his eyes .
" Oh, Nengi didn't tell you?. We know his identity - and just three nights ago, we took him to meet Ozu ikuto". Sasha spoke shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
Ozo couldn't believe his ears,he turned to look at Nengi, whom swore in her heart to deal with him. Why couldn't he just learn to keep shut?. She couldn't even look straight at Ozo, whose gaze was fixed at her.
" Nengi? ... Is it true?". Ozo asked trying to know. Bless knew it within him that Ozo didn't like it at all, he began to panic in fear of what Ozo might do or say to Nengi.
Sasha got tired of the silence hovering around, he tried making things more simpler.
" Well, Ozu ikuto said he has magical powers, and trust me, he is the chosen one".
Sasha spoke nonchalantly.
" Chosen one?. I don't understand"?.
" He has been gifted powers by Chukwuokike, to help save humanity, and you know what?. He has powers way beyond you sorcerer". He winked at him, making Ozo furious the more.
" Will you stop!. Sasha please stop!. You are not helping at all... Trust me!. And yes, we took him to meet Ozu ikuto, because he needs to know do who he is, his real self, and I swear I don't regret every bit of it". Nengi admitted.
Ozo stared at Nengi, and heaved a sigh." Since you know everything about us... Then no need to pretend any further... . So....can you tell me what your experience felt like?. Meeting with Ozu ikuto?". Ozo asked with a stoic expression on his face, the look on his face frightening Bless, which made Sasha and Nengi to realize.
" You are so impossible Ozo.. I mean, why do you have to put on a straight face, when asking a friendly question?. For fuck's sake, try becoming friendlier"!. Nengi snapped.
" What would you expect from a man whose face is always as hard as rock?. Ozo will never change his attitude, that I know for sure". Sasha added.
Ozo shut his eyes, trying to be what his friends, told him to. He turned to face Bless, smiling more than usual, surprising Bless , Sasha was trying to stifle in a laugh, as Nengi playfully smacked his head.
Bless felt amused by his action, which made him look stupid.
" What?. ..". He turned to see Sasha chuckling, and Nengi smiling lovingly at him .
" I think you should maintain, your normal demeanor, it suits you better, you look...". Bless paused searching for the right words to describe it, not wanting him to feel angry.
" Go on say it- tell me, how do I look?". Ozo urged him.
Bless finally gathering enough courage, he looked up at Ozo, wearing a sincere look.
" Stupid". Bless said, causing Nengi and Sasha to give out a laugh. Bless expected Ozo to say something irrational, or act in a fit of rage, but Ozo smiled lightly at him.
" Yeah, you're right, people should not try to copy others. Thank you Bless for being truthful". Ozo appreciated. Bless was stunned and nodded shyly.
" You are welcome". He said almost in a whisper.
" Hey, you thanked him- where is my own appreciation?. Or rather, vote of thanks?". Sasha crossed his arms, wearing a mischievous look.
" You don't deserve to be thanked. You are a mischievous little boy, up to no good ". Ozo's tone serious and strict.
Sasha dramatically put his hand on his chest, gasping.
" You ungrateful sorcerer!".
" You perverted bird!". And with that, they started bickering over small little things. Nengi shook her head, eating her snacks.
" Do they normally do this?". Bless pointed to the both of them, whom were oblivious to the fact that two more people were also present.
" Of course, I'm used to it- don't worry, it's perfectly normal ". Nengi assure him, nonchalantly.
Bless looked at them,and heaved a sigh, with a smile spreading on his face, sipping his drink. He was already a part of them, and being with them, gives him a sense of belonging, and a breathe of fresh air.
