Wings & Dreams

Ch.13 - Jon's Feelings

How do they all know that he has feelings for Zeyn? Clora was sure she had hidden it well. Plus its natural nature is grumpy, no one should be able to guess it.

And now in front of him, Kei told him to approach Zeyn and declare love. The man was grieving because the human girl named Clara was never awake.

"Are you crazy, Kei?" Clora shook her head. "I won't do it" he murmured somewhat doubtfully.

"Yahh," Kei sighed. "Come, Clora. Has this been since you became a member of his group? Or since there were two people present?"

Both are wrong. Actually Clora had already put feelings when she first met Zeyn. Not when he entered his group, but when he was still a student at the special school of the Fae, namely Faedemy.

Every newborn Fae could not directly use his wings. Like birds, they must be trained, and can only fly independently. Not getting there, each Fae must find his own talent.

Fae, like himself, Kei, and Zeyn, are the summoners of nature, the wind. They each got a shade of ash on their wings after they passed undergoing some sort of test in Faedemy.

Zeyn is a man who managed to get color on his wings at a very young age. He is very intelligent and skilled, so he is believed to be the Chairman of Ventus.

Kei, his friend, only got the color of his wings last year. That was why he was late for Zeyn's group. They even get to know each other before going into human territory and looking for Clara.

Clara. Every time the name came to his mind, he became more and more hated with men. And now, the girl was even more disturbing Zeyn's life.

"I won't force you, Clora." Clora didn't realize she was daydreaming. His friend was looking at him with a worried look. "That's your right. But at least, fill your stomach with food. You're not tired of two days of confining yourself?"

Clora had a flat expression. Without saying anything else, he had already stepped out, heading towards the kitchen space as usual.

He only gawked when he saw the condition of his favorite kitchen that was like a broken ship. The plates are out of place. Milk cream and sweets spilled on the table. Food scraps are not even cleaned. And stoves

"DOR!!" Shouts until it shrieks. "What happened to my kitchen?!"

"ah! It!" His friend was already behind him, and began to wave. Judging from the look on her face, Clora knew Kei was the cause. "So.. me again...eh! Umm..iya-"

"What have you done, Kei?!"

"Duh," Kei put on a glassy look. The girl desperately hid her nervousness, occasionally biting her lower lip. "Don't be mad, Clora, it was me"

"He wants to cheer you up."

When she saw Zeyn suddenly appear behind the door, Clora was unable to resist the feeling of longing that instantly overflowed from within her. For a long time he had not seen the man's face. Although black bags adorned both eyes, the man still looked handsome as he smiled at him.

Jon saw the man named Zeyn enter the kitchen room. Although Kei had already tugged at his arm to give Clora and Zeyn time alone, he was still curious and wanted to see, roughly what he wanted to talk about.

"Don't go there, Jon!" Bisik Kei is impatient. "Your presence will only add to the awkward atmosphere!"

"Will Clora tell Zeyn her feelings?" Guess Jon, but he already knows the answer.

Kei sighing. "Don't know. I hope so. That girl is hard to guess."

Somehow his heart disagreed if Clora's feelings were finally accepted by Zeyn. Doesn't Zeyn belong to Clara? Maybe that's why he doesn't approve of them.

Jon finally gives up and lets himself be pulled by Kei. Actually, he no longer has a purpose in life. What's he supposed to do here? He hadn't seen his apartment in a long time. He hadn't seen his office friends in a long time.

Especially Stef.

"Key."

"I don't think I can stay here anymore."

"What do you mean?"

Jon pulls back his arm which is already marked red due to Kei's strong grip. "I've lived here for days. How long until I'm allowed to go home?"

Kei stopped his steps and turned his back to face him. "For your question, the answer is, I don't know."

"Don't you just need Clara's ability?" Jon regretted saying that. Even though he was no longer in a relationship with the girl, he already made her hate him.

Kei folded his hands. "I haven't believed in human nature for a lifetime that it's selfish. But you made me trust him again."

Jon was angry about it. He did not remember when, but his hand had already strangled the girl's neck.

"Ukh!" Kei looked up, feeling surprised. He hurriedly uses his magic to release Jon's grip. Bukh! His body had already crashed into the wall, and blood was pouring out of his nostrils.

"You! Uhuk! Crazy-ass"

"You're crazy, Jon!" Kei stood before him. Both of his hands were still surrounded by a whirlwind. "Why did you suddenly strangle me?!"

Jon got up to his feet, using the help of a wall to support his own body. His head suddenly fell. He could feel the muscles of his clenched hand, then he again attacked the girl before him with a fist.

"Well!" Kei managed to dodge his attack. He flapped his wings, and moved his hand to attack Jon.

Jon shouted, his jaw tightened. His bones are smashed, but he won't give up. He focused all his attention on the girl in front of him. Then, he groaned and used his head to push the little girl's body against the wall.

***

Buuk!! The sound of Kei's body throwing into the wall made the atmosphere more tense. In fact he could have created a more powerful wind, which would have made this man suffer. But he will not do it, because he has sworn himself not to hurt anyone.

He did not understand why Jon kept venting his anger at him. Fortunately this man was not an expert in martial arts, so Kei easily used his knees and elbowed Jon's stomach.

For a while the man lost his balance and fell to the floor. But Kei didn't give me a second chance. He hurriedly spread out his hands, and locked both the man's wrists and feet onto the floor.

The man thrashed, trying to break away from the bond that bound him. This action made Kei remember the grumpy monster.

"Reserve yourself!" Kei knelt beside her, but not too close to give her some distance. This man could have attacked him if he was too close to him.

"You're all crazy" he said, spitting on the floor. His hair was already very messy and his eyes were emitting flames of anger. "Look! I'll get out of this place any way!"

Kei opened his palm, deliberately showing a small wind dancing on it. But the man was not afraid.

"Key?" He turned his head and saw the healing woman at the end of the hall. "What's going on?!" He immediately approached her and was wide-eyed when he saw Jon shackled on the floor.

"This man is crazy, you have to check his condition" Kei explained, still not letting go. He looked into Jon's eyes. His pupils dilated, and he blinked his eyes many times.

Sana wants to lift Jon's body, but Kei stops him.

"Why Kei?"

"Wait a minute" Kei said as he blocked her with a stretch of his hand. He narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze, until he finally realized something strange.

In both of Jon's eyes, there is one grain of Fae powder that is colored ash.
