Chapter Text
Wemmbu and this boy, rejoice as he's called are currently walking further into the forest, i mean.. Wemmbu shouldn't be so trusting, he usually isnt but this boy's presence is calming, almost as if wemmbu's known him in another life.
Rejoice brings Wemmbu to this small cabin in the middle of the forest, the forest is genuinely mystical like. With many different coloured flowers scattered around, the vibe screams magic.
"Welcome to my humble abode!!" rejoice beams brightly, grinning and looking at Wemmbu's reaction.
"it's nice.." wemmbu says before a hiss escape him, shit. he forgot about that stupid leg. Is it ever going to stop burdening him?
Whatever. As long as he can find a way back home, but it is getting late he's being honest, and there's no way he's walking all the way back with this leg. And to be honest he doesn't want to either.
"is your leg okay? Looks kinda painful" rejoice says, now with worry as he takes Wemmbu's arm and guides him inside the cabin.
"it's dalright. It'll fix itself, i just hurt it doing figure skating." Wemmbu says, half limping as Rejoice drags him along.
"I can help!! I'm sure i have something hereee.. Hmm.." the boy that eminates sunflowers says, scavenging through his cabinets, throwing stuff behind him.
Odd. Didn't even question anything? Wemmbu thought Rejoice would be the type of person to question everything and anything. Maybe he's wrong. Wemmbu doesn't know why he thinks that, but whatever.
Wemmbu dodges a few, this boy really has no sense of surroundings. Wemmbu sighs as the boy pulls out a bandage.
"i doubt a bandage will fix this." wemmbu mumbles to the boy who does nothing but grin at him.
"it'll be better than nothing, right?"
"yeah, i guess.."
Rejoice sits Wemmbu on the couch and starts patching him up almost exactly like egg would do whenever Wemmbu got into a scrap with Flame.
Rejoice finishes patching Wemmbu up and sits beside him, sprawled out. This feels familiar, too familiar. Just like how Wemmbu and Flame would sit on the couch when they were a bit younger when Wemmbu would get to stay the night at Mane's.
Wemmbu and Flame never got along but those are the very few times that they did. Wemmbu wouldn't mind being friends with Flame. But their personalities and goals in skating clash and what can they do besides fight like they always have and always will?
Wemmbu clears his throat about to speak before Rejoice accidentally cuts him off but continues anyway.
"Wanna stay over? I haven't had a roomate in ages! Or anyone at all to be honest!" Rejoice smiles kindly, waiting excitedly for Wemmbu's response.
Wemmbu thinks. Obviously it's gonna take at least 2 hours to walk with this shitty leg and broken elytra, but if he did he obviously couldn't go back to mane and Flames treehouse. Probably egg and Minute but this is like the 5th time this week, he's been trying to cut down staying over at theirs so they wouldn't have to feed an extra mouth in the morning or just he doesn't want to be a burden.
Or a lost cause..
Worth a shot. Right..? Yeah, i mean.. Rejoice is literally a stranger of all things, but Wemmbu has a gut feeling that he can trust this sunshine boy. Even if he does seem a bit funky.
Eggchan has been searching pretty much every nook and cranny. What can he say? He's worried for his one and only best friend, obviously with the angel instincts he has he wants to protect his best friend. Even if he is a bit scrawny!! He's a powerful being in the world he was born in, obviously he's not from here. Here holds usually hybrids and mortals, eggchan is a pure angelic angel from heaven who stumbled upon wemmbu when he was very young, while on a mission and decided to become his guardian angel.
Well sort of. Eggchan won't be like noticing that Wemmbu is hurt when he gets hurt but if it's basically death or near death he will be getting some sort of gut wrenching feeling that his best friend is in trouble and his instincts scream at him to go and help Wemmbu.
Eggchan found this out when it was a few days after Minutetech took Egg in because Egg was kind of just floating around and decided to follow Minute home. That's besides the point! Wemmbu was out near a playground and as far as egg can remember he got this gut wrenching feeling that Wemmbu was in danger, and so with all his powers he pinpointed Wemmbu's location with his pure angelic mind and managed to teleport Wemmbu to Egg instead of running out onto a busy road.
Egg doesn't think Wemmbu remembers that though since he was so little, maybe it was for the best, egg wouldn't want Wem to see him any different just because he was an otherworldly being..
Egg snaps out of his thoughts, he doesn't know where Wemmbu could've went, he obviously wouldn't go far with that leg of his.. OH! Yeaaaah Egg forgot the most important bit. Mane said he flew off.
Egg sighs, all that time wasted for what?
It's fine though, now Egg has a lead on where he could've gone, egg flies up near the treehouse window where Wemmbu would've flown off from and decided to fly straight ahead, he knows his best friend like the back of his hand, hes almost sure he wouldn't turn off randomly, especially with that leg of his going on.
It's getting much later now, Egg started off when it was still bright outside, but it's winter, what would he expect.. The night comes quicker. The angels wings shiver as he flies searching the ground below him as every breath becomes misty.
Eggchan finds a forest below him, and seems patches of footprints and a bit of cloth that looks definitely similar to the cloth wemmbu puts around his elytra for decoration.
Eggchan decides to fly down and meets face to face with a huge forest, of which that it looks bland and normal. He doubts Wemmbu would go in here unless Egg guesses that his elytra did actually break here.
Flamefrags has been bored.
Wemmbu hasn't been around in awhile to combat nor ragebait Flame. Making his trainings boring. Though he tries to perfect is routine, he can't help but feel sidetracked. Manepear has been a lot more tired than usual and has been critiquing Flame's stunts a lot more.
Overall training has been shit. The olympics are coming up really soon and Flame can't be messing up like this. Not at all.
After Manepear leaves the ice rink, Flame continues to do his spins and his routine in general. But it's getting rough. It's the middle of winter, absoloutely freezing on ice while this place just has shit heating in general even for how expensive it can be at the peak times when it's booked out fully and you have to pay extra to get in.
Flame feels guilty.
Why does he feel guilty? Is it because Wemmbu left as soon as Flame stepped into view during Mane and Wemmbu's conversation? Does that guy really despise Flame THAT much?? I mean yeah they bicker and they fight and they scrap but Flame finds it fun, and sometimes they even end up laughing if someone does something stupid during training together with Mane.
After an hour of deep thought about all sorts of things, he steps off the ice and takes off his skates, bro.. he's just genuinely freezing like bro.
Flame shivers as the cold of the air hits at his chapped lips.
He ties his normal shoes, puts his gear away and sets off.
He has nothing to do, he's not tired and he's kind of just bored.
Might as well go look for a certain purple blob to make fun of right?
