Romance Goes Two Ways

[Jordan Hielo]

Yawning, Jordan laughed, "Hey, I aint much of the friend maker, I don't know what to do. You pick something."

[Scooter]

Scooter thought for a moment. And then an idea hit him. "Hey, I bet we could do something cool with both of our magic! Like, make slushies or something." he laughed. "I don't know! I've never had a sleepover before!"

[Jordan Hielo]

"Maybe, maybe. Would you like to try it?"

[Scooter]

"Okay!" Scooter exclaimed. The brothers grabbed two cups, placing them on the small table in front of the couch. Scooter created a small rain cloud over both cups, having water fall gently into them. "Your turn!"

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan nodded, looking at the rain. He easily turned it to snow, what with Scooter letting him, and he grasped both cups to make the water in it cold, as to make it in more of a slushie form.

[Scooter]

"Woah, I didn't think it would actually work!" Scooter gasped, amazed.

[Jordan Hielo]

"Actually, I figured it would all go well. I mean, we're a good team!" Jordan grinned cheekily.

[Scooter]

"We are!" Scooter smiled, he grabbed his cup, sipping it lightly. "It doesn't taste all that bad either! It's sweet."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Yeah, I quite like it!" Jordan drank happily, enjoying himself.

[Scooter]

Scooter smiled. He quickly finished off his slushie. " Well, it's pretty convenient that our magic works so well together!"

[Jordan Hielo]

"I believe that is true!" Jordan grinned. Sitting back down on the couch with his slushie, he asked, "So tell me about your past, brother, I don't know much about it."

[Scooter]

Scooter tilted his head. "My past? Why do you want to know about it? It's kinda boring."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Everything. I want to know everything." Jordan chuckled, resting his head on the back of the couch and closing his eyes.

[Scooter]

"Okay!" Scooter agree'd easily. He had come onto terms with his past, and had accepted it, so it was not painful for him to talk about it.

"Well, I grew up with my older brother. I'm not sure what happened to my parents though, I don't remember them. I'm pretty sure they are still alive somewhere.. I'm not sure. Well, either way, Flip was my older brothers name. He was a zashiki-warashi and always found nice homes for us to stay in. We met lots of nice people! And usually moved in the spring. I think I was around three in human years when I first learned how to control the rain. It was pretty much like that until I was around thirteen in human years and my brother died, and that's it. I've been on my own since."

[Jordan Hielo]

Jordan's eyebrows furrowed. "How'd Flip die...?" he asked in a sort of mumble.

[Scooter]

"Actually, he died protecting me. He got beaten by this big, drunk guy. He was very ill so he couldn't fight back. It was very gallant of him. He was a nice big brother. You kinda remind me of him, actually."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Oh, yeah?" Jordan smiled slightly. "How so?"

[Scooter]

"Because you're all protective and stuff." Scooter smiled. " He'd probably be around your age in human years too."

[Jordan Hielo]

"Huh, that's funny then!" Jordan laughed. "Well, I'm glad I'm similar to him then. He seemed nice."

[Scooter]

Scooter laughed a bit. "I miss him alot so I'm glad I met you."
