Branbean's Problem Pt 2 (FTO)
(Brandon's POV)
I slowly opened my eyes, remembering what happened after the magic council meeting. I noticed that I was no longer in our meeting spot, instead, I was in mine and my brother's bedroom.
'Did Michael bring me here?' I thought to myself.
As I was getting out of bed, I heard a ruckus going on in the guildhall and decided to go see what was going on.
I stood up and immediately got hit with a slight headache but ignored it and continued to walk to the guildhall.
I walked into the sight of David not wearing a shirt and arguing with Mario, with a smirk on his face, about not needing a shirt, Mario trying to hide a blush and yelling at David to put a shirt on. Boat, Kit and Inmo were in the corner, fangirling and fanboying over their ship 'Mavid'. Tapio was just off to the side, watching.
I sighed and walked over to Ritchie, who was watching everyone from his podium.
"Hello, Ritchie," I said in a tired voice because I just woke up.
"Hey, Brother. How are you feeling after your nap?" Ritchie smiled at me. I just stretch my arms.
"Eh, good I guess." I shrugged. He looked worried but shook it away and looked at the others.
"Alright, everyone back to your seats," My brother called out to everyone, making everyone go back to their seats. My head started to ache again but I ignored it... again.
"So what's this meeting about?" David asked while sitting in his respective seat beside Mario, who was still trying to hide a blush.
"We are here to discuss the Grand Magic Games and how everyone is doing!" Ritchie said loud and proud, which made my headache worse as he was right next to me.
"Can we start with Boat? Because never mentioned... that he was a god slayer?!" David yelled.
My headache was getting even worse and I was at the point of holding my head in my hand. Ritchie saw this and looked over at me, worried.
"I just have a headache. Don't worry." I lied to Ritchie, knowing he won't buy it. He slowly nodded his head and turned back to the rest of the guild.
"Boat, me and my brother are going to talk to you about that whole ordeal about your magic." Ritchie carried "...but Brandon and I must have a chat first then Boat, we will come to get you in about 10mins so be ready!"
I looked over to Ritchie, knowing exactly what we needed to talk about. He just looked at me and smiled innocently then looked back at the others. "Now. Kit and Mario, you guys have some training. Inmo and Tapio, you guys are training with David. Boat, just find something to do for the time being. Now scram!" Ritchie explained everything but yelled the last part, making my headache even worse than it was before.
I now had my face in one hand and the other around my waist. Ritchie looked over to me, worried but apologetically. I slightly nodded, just to not make the aching worse.
Everyone looked over to me confused at what I was doing.
"He just has a headache, don't worry. Now go to your allocated areas." My brother shooed them off and as soon as everyone was out the door, he looked at me, concerned by my behaviour.
I shrugged and walked off my stand, over to the bar to get a drink. I sat down and put my head in my hands. I got lost in thought for like the 6th time this week (maybe more) so I jumped at the sudden hand that was on my shoulder. I relaxed once I realised that it was my brother.
"Are you alright, brother?" Ritchie asked me gently.
'I knew that eventually, I will have to tell him. Welp, now's the time then.' I sighed and shook my head, ready to tell him the truth.
"Well, what's wrong then?" He sat down in the seat right beside me.
"Well..." I started off well looking at the table. "Do you remember the training you and I did a couple of weeks ago? Like the training with my flying ability?"
"Yeah? What about it?" Now he's curious but also worried.
"Well, do you remember when my magic suddenly cut off and sent us plummeting to the ground?" I say while remembering the mysterious message.
He nodded slowly.
"Ummm... Just before that happened, I got a telepathic message from a random person. It said 'You may have control now but eventually everything will fall downhill, including you and your brother. One day, your powers will be the end of everything you love.' After that message played out, my powers cut out and we ended up falling." I said as a silent tear rolled down my face.
Ritchie noticed this and went wide-eyed. He stood up from his chair and hugged me. I hugged back and carried on.
"I-It was like i-it w-was perfectly t-timed a-and proved t-t-the message w-was telling t-the truth! I'm a-afraid to u-u-use my powers in case I-I truly d-do hurt t-the things I l-l-love." I stuttered out but it was muffled because my face was in Ritchie's shoulder.
We stayed silent until Ritchie pulled me up and made me look him in the eyes.
"Brandon, I can assure you that me and everyone else are here for you. You could've told at least me. Now that I know that you are afraid to use your powers, I can help and so will every other person in any guild! We can help you conquer that fear and allow you to use your powers freely again." Ritchie assured me as he pulled me in for another hug.
"Plus, how bad can wind be anyways? Unless you're Inmo and decide to run into a tornado." He chuckled. I gave him a quiet chuckle and a small smile crept onto my face.
"Thank you, Ritchie. Also, don't we have a meeting today with the other guild leaders?" He looked surprised but made a face that looked like he remembered something.
"Oh Shoot! Yes, we do and it started 10mins ago!" He yells, making me wince at the sudden noise and it made my headache come back to me. He steps back.
"Oops, sorry Brandon. So, do you want me to blink us there or you wanna walk?" Ritchie asked.
"You can blink us there but beware as I still have a slight headache," I warned him and he just nodded. I grabbed his arm and he teleports us to the meeting spot. Unknown to us, everyone else was already there. As we arrived, I saw everyone looking at me, curious.
"Ayy Brandon and Ritchie have finally made it! What took you so long?" Bren said from his podium.
I looked at Ritchie as to say 'Ummm what do we say?'
"Sorry we are late. I was just having a little chat with Brandon and we got lost in our conversation." Ritchie explained.
Michael looked at me, knowing exactly what the reason was and knew Ritchie was lying. Technically, he wasn't because we did forget and we did get lost in thought.
"Well atleast you guys are here! Now we cant start our meeting!" Silver yelled.
'Here we go again. Welcome back headache!' I thought to myself as I wince at the yelling.
Gm J (Grandmaster Jonathan) and Ritchie saw this and looked at me. "You ok, Brandon?" Gm J said with confusion.
I grunted in response.
"He just has a slight headache. Just try not to yell too much." Ritchie said as he put a hand on my arm.
"Ok... Speaking of Brandon, this meeting was actually to talk about you. Would you mind walking to the middle?" Michael spoke up for the first time in this meeting.
I was confused but proceeded to walk into the middle of the meeting spot. "Ok? Why is the meeting about me?" I asked, even though I already new the answer.
The short bean and bluenette looked at me, glaring. They knew that I already knew what this was about.
"Brandon, you know exactly what this meeting is. It's the reason we were late here." I sighed
Bren, Lo-Pho, Bri, Silver and Grandmaster Jonathan were confused at what they were talking about. "Would someone like to explain what on earth you guys are talking about?"
"Brandon?" Ritchie said.
I tensed up but explained to them. "3 or so weeks ago, me and Ritchie decided to train my flying ability. Ritchie decided that he would jump on my back and we would fly around for a while. It was going great until I heard a telepathic message. Right after the message finished, we were sent plummetting to the ground. Ritchie managed to teleport away but could take me with him. As you know I got knocked out for 1 week and..." I trailed off, not sure whether to tell them I'm scared of my powers.
"And? And what?" Silver sounded curious and I'm pretty sure everyone else is too.
I looked at Ritchie as if to ask 'Should I tell them?' He answered by nodding his head with a smile on his face.
I looked at the ground and muttered my answer, water was welling in the corner of my eyes.
"Sorry, what was that?" Gm J asked (A/N: Cause he old, he can't hear!)
I muttered it a little louder but only Ritchie and Michael heard me. Now tears were slowly rolling down my face. "Go on, Brandon. They are allowed to know." Ritchie assured me as he walked over to where I was standing.
"I'm afraid to use my powers!!" I yelled as I look up so everyone can see my tears. This shocked most but I couldn't tell if they were shocked because of my yelling, my tears or what I yelled.
Ritchie came to me and gave me a big hug, to which I didn't know I needed until now. I hid my face in his shoulder as I expected everyone to start talking or laughing.
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
I looked up and saw they all looked at me, worried and concerned.
"I-I didn't t-t-think anyone w-would b-believe me..." I admitted as I hid my face in my brother's shoulder again.
"Brandon." Michael said sternly. I hesitantely looked at him.
"You know that we would believe anything you say. You are one of the most logical people I know. Even if we didn't believe you, then we still would've listened to any logical reasoning you have. No matter what, we are all friends, and you can talk to any one of us about anything." He said while smiling, which was a rare sight.
My face flushed by how much they all cared, so I hid (once again) in Ritchie's shoulder. He chuckled at this.
"Yep, Michael's right. I may not have known you for as long as these guys may have, but I am more than willing to help!" Silver put a thumbs up towards me. I had a small smile on my face. Everyone else did their own way at saying yep. My smile grew wider at everyone.
'To think, I was scared to tell them. All in all, they are my allies, my buddies, my family and...
...my friends.'
