A New Type Of Magic (Wizardbrave)

Bottle//ch 2

(Btw this chapter is like 90% wizard cookie just having a mental break down about covering up his feelings lol)

After a little while of playing I found some diamonds and gave them to Brave. He thanked me with great gratitude as if I had just given him a reason to live or something,

"Yes! Thank you so much Wiz!" He suddenly tightly wrapped his arms around me in an embrace then I felt as if I was going to break in half. Both from embarrassment and because he was squeezing the life out of me. I went limp and made a weak noise to sign that I was being strangled basically,

"Oh, sorry didn't mean to squeeze you to death!" he apologized as I awkwardly looked away at an attempt to hide my rose red face. After trying to push down the feeling I turned back around,

"Y-your fine just be careful next time. I honestly don't feel like getting snapped in half today, thank you very much." I added sarcastically on the end to try and break the awkwardness. He laughed at my sarcasm,

"You know what good point. I don't really want my best friend getting snapped in half today." Ouch that stung a little in my heart. Why does it hurt? I asked myself, I am his friend so why do I have a weird feeling in my chest? I pushed it down deep into the darkest corners of my mind, hoping that it will go away soon. But this new feeling was still making its appearance well know, should I talk to someone about this?

" Im getting kinda bored of Minecraft.. I might go read in my room." I said nervously,

"Awww Okay!" I sat my controller down, I didn't leave because then it would fully quit the game, and walked back to my room book in hand. I didn't actually want to read I just needed an excuse to leave. I put the book into its place on my shelf with the other books and laid down in my bed all sprawled out, feeling mentally exhausted from shoving down feelings.

Was there something wrong with me? I thought worriedly, maybe this is some kind of magic? But who would use magic on me? Who would use magic on someone of the arcane arts themselves? But it seemed like a reasonable theory, although maybe I was making excuses again..well either way I should talk to someone.

But who should I talk too? Definitely not Brave or honestly anyone in this house. Maybe strawberry but even then I'm not sure, maybe I just have to figure this out on my own. Then a thought hit me,

"What if I try and research what kind of magic this is?" I said out loud standing up to look through my shelf and my books, desperately searching to find some kind of explanation for this odd thing happening. The only thing vaguely like this was a.. love spell. No this can't be happening, no no no nonononononono..! I can't be in love with him!

"Wait maybe I'm just overthinking again, haha yeah I'm just obsessing over nothing like I always do. Right? Yes.. yeah that's it, just silly wizard cookie overthinking again." I mumbled to myself halfway wishing that it was true, I know your not supposed to shove your feelings down but it's just much better than dealing with it. It can't be that bad, what's the worst that can come from it?

As I slowly snapped out of my pacing back and forth and I reminisced what had happened earlier before. When he hugged me and the expression on his face, that was all platonic stop being an idiot. I yelled at myself, you shouldn't even try to think of him it will just bring back those feelings again.

So I shoved everything in an imaginary bottle and stashed it away. It should be easy to hide it if everything is shut away tightly. Everything should be as it always was, if these get revealed it could change everything. I'm not ready to change and I'm nervous, what if he just flat out hates me after? Or me and him are really awkward and we slowly drift apart? What if he just mocks me for ever thinking about loving him? I don't want to lose him completely!

This is better than all the bad stuff that could come with telling him. I concluded quietly, putting my mind at ease. The I heard another pair of footsteps skip through the hall and assumed it was probably Custard or as he liked to be called 'Custard the third'.

Not sure why he automatically assumed he was going to be king, but I guess everyone just kinda went along with it after a while. I still thought that it wasn't a really good idea but what can I say? I decided I wanted to just take a walk, I hope brave won't notice that I am avoiding him, I don't want him worrying about me anymore than he already does.

I went ahead and creep out of my room quietly. Brave turned around and waved at me and I waved back, your nothing but friends and that's it,

"Hey Brave I'm gonna take a walk, can you watch custard?" Before Brave could even reply strawberry entered the room,

"I can watch him if you need somebody too." She interjected quietly,

"Um-" he murmured

"Hey I don't need to be watched! I'm old enough to take care of myself!" Custard yelled out, everyone just shook there head,

"Uh I'm sure that's fine Strawberry. Thank you." GingerBrave said slightly smiling, he didn't really act like he usually does when he is with me, odd. Stop stop those feelings keep trying to come out they are more of them now! It's almost like they have multiplied,

"Okay well I guess you guys can go walk now" what? Oh no I meant this just alone not going with Brave. Half of me seemed to be happy and adoring and the other was nervous and panicked,

"Um alright..well let's go" I said warily as I opened the door for Brave who was sliding a candy-cane hoodie on over his head. And I grabbed my staff of course.

We started to walk down the sidewalk, well was more Brave was happily skipping everywhere, his excitement was cute thought he had to admit. No stop wizard cookie! He bitterly said at himself,

"So where are we going Wiz?" He asked turning back to me,

"Uh.. honestly I wasn't really expecting you to be here, I'm not sure." He said awkwardly, he suddenly looked really disappointed and sorry,

"Oh.. I'm really sorry about that. I can always go back if you want your alone time." He looked at me with a saddened smile. I don't think he realized how he basically made me have a whole mental overload over those feelings, the bottle must have broke. I felt super bad for making him so sad and disappointed, I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him I didn't mean all those things and that he was fine to stay. Luckily I held myself back but just barely,

"No don't leave! I mean- no your fine I actually really like you. Being around you I mean. I mean being your friend ugh-" I suddenly burst out my face red from how stupid that sounded, I mentally face palmed myself. He blushed slightly and smiled his bright smile again,

"Aww looks like wizard cookie's tripping over his own words! How adorable and thanks." He teased me the only thing that semi replaced my feelings was the will to just banter back and forth,

"Hey! I can still send you back to the house! Do you want to come or not?" I teased back standing proudly with my staff planted on the ground firmly,

"Okay, okay fine you got me there I'll come along." I smirked proudly even though nobody could really tell. Then more I wandered into my mind the more the thought provoked me into thinking it,

Could this actually work out?
