Chapter Text
Pyro didn’t want to be in the resource world at the ass crack of dawn but it was Jojo’s birthday soon so of course he came to help gather resources for the party. He’s an asshole but he’s not a bad friend. “Alright here’s the plan Scott, you and Pyro go get wood for literally everything, while me and Shelby go get sugar cane and dyes for the party hats and wrapping paper” Drift explains. “Uhhg you’re making me go with him?” Pyro Complains “Wow Pyro I’d love to hang out with you too.” The ice mage says rolling his eyes. “Too late I already called dibs on Shelby!” Drift taunts, “Of course you did” Scott replied with a knowing grin. “Why can’t I for once go with you or Shelby?” He said in retort ignoring Scott, “I’m always stuck with this frigid bitch.” He added under his breath. “Because you both need to work out whatever issues you have with each other, now go.” Shelby said while pulling drift away with her. After a bit of walking Scott sets his stuff down and pulls out his axe and begins to chop down a decently sized tree while Pyro sits on a stump picking up twigs and setting them on fire. “I would hate for you to actually help for once.” Scott says with a huff. “Nah I think I’ll stay right here.” the brunette spat. “Whatever, be like that it’s not you’d be any help.” Scott gives Pyro a look of distain after replying, Pyro stood up and walked over to Scott standing beside him. “Well if you want my help so badly then say please.” the fire mage teased pressing a finger into Scott’s chest while eyeing him up and down. “If you keep undressing me with your eyes I’ll get cold.” Scott says with a smirk “I thought the cold never bothered you anyway?” Pyro retorts smugly before having an axe pushed into his chest. “Get to work then hot stuff.” Scott chimed, The pet name catches Pyro off guard heat rising in his palms as he takes the axe from Scott. “Hot stuff? That’s a new one snowball,” Pyro started before leaning the axe against the tree and crossing his arms. “Where’d all this confidence come from? you were so shy when we were kids.” Pyro added “Y’know, people change when you’re not around.” Scott said before he swung his axe into the tree, and turning to the brunette. “Oh yeah then show me, show me how different you are Scott Boralith.” The pyromancer entices, grabbing Scott by the shirt. Without a second thought the ice mage cupped Pyros face and kissed him, not roughly not quick but slow and delicate like he was holding glass that could break with any wrong move. Pyro was stunned, he didn’t think the blond would actually do anything, he never gave him any reason to. Pyro froze, being as that was the only reaction he could have; he’s never kissed anyone and he never planned to. However in this moment he would never prefer to be anywhere else. Pyro pressed his face into Scott’s pulling him closer forgetting who he was with and any history they had. The two leaned against the tree kissing like teenagers before two people could be heard walking closer. It takes a second for the voices to register in Pyros mind but the moment they do he pushes Scott away and grabs his axe again. “Pyro-“ Scott started but the Pyromancer was already walking away. “Drift! Shelby! We got the wood, you ready to head back?” Pyro called out while Scott stood there in shock before collecting his bearings and grabbing the wood deciding he will speak to the other later. “Woah, Pyro you good? Your hair is really messed up!” Shelby said upon seeing the fire mage, “oh yeah no and you look a little freaked out?” Drift added with confusion. “I’m fine, I just thought I.. saw something. Did you get everything?” Pyro deflected, “uh yeah, is Scott coming?” Drift asked before being cut short. “He’s fine. He’s carrying the wood, I’m going to start setting up.” Pyro said plainly. “Alright we will see you inside then.” Shelby said a little confused and concerned before pyro stepped back through the portal. “He’s being weird right?”
Drift asked, Shelby agreed.
“definitely, you don’t think they had another fight do you?”
“Man they really need to figure out how to get along, it’s really hard to hang out together whenever they start fighting.”
Scott finally made his way over to the two, carrying about 8 logs of wood with a blank expression on his face and his shirt messed up. “Scott, you alright? Pyro was being really weird-“ Shelby got cut off “We have to set up the party, Jojo will be awake soon.” Scott told them before stepping through the portal with the two girls following.
