Swelterrier couldn't understand why his friends were so overprotective over Blizzaria. I mean, come on! This was the same girl who nearly froze them all to death all the time. 

Right now, the fire Youkai was reading a book in the park, bored out of his mind. He was drinking tea to soothe his nerves, which was working, because of the outburst he had had with the others. Forget anger, he had been enraged seeing them protect her.

That was on one side, of course.

On the other side, he understood why they were doing it. 

They thought of her as a real friend. Someone who they could joke around with. 

He felt that way too, honestly, but he was the leader. He had to think for their safety. 

And Blizzaria was just that. 

He groaned in annoyance, "Why can't they see what I do?! It's not like I want to leave Blizzaria be like this! She's my crush for crying out loud!" 

Yep, that's the truth. He, the great Swelterrier, had a crush on Blizzaria. 

Sounds perfectly ironic, huh? 

He was brought out of his thoughts by spotting a certain Youkai walking to the park. He blinked.

Blizzaria?... 

He thought about his options. For one, he could pretend like he never saw her. 

But for another, he could finally deal with her once and for all. 

After weighing it out in his mind, he finally decided to do the latter. 

Without much time left, he scaled a tree and went to the lowest branch, using it as a hanger of some sorts for his plan. 

After that, he locked his knees to the branch and waited for her to come. 

For a while, he sat there, waiting for her. 

After a while, he grew worried. What if she had changed paths after I climbed up the tree?! What if this was all for nothing?! 

No, this HAS to work. For the Hot Clan's sake! 

He then took in a deep breath, counting down from 3 before he dropped down, activating his powers in the process. 

Her reaction to it was funny at first. Pure shocked face. No signs of loading it yet. Frozen to the spot. Looked like a statue, alright. 

He was about to snicker when she suddenly screamed in terror, backing away from him with purely terrified eyes. Tears fell down her cheeks as she screamed for him to show her leniency. 

"B-Blizzie-" He tried to reach out to her, but she screamed in horror again before she spun on her heel and ran off, leaving a very devastated Swelterrier as he slowly began to realise. 

This isn't a joke.... She really is scared of us...
