SOPE | Touch

72 ❆ Not the only one

The following morning SeokJin and Hoseok got dressed and went straight for the training room, where they knew Fera would be.

Hoseok had another one of those far from pleasant nightmares, SeokJin consoling him when sobs were escaping his mouth faster than he could register the fact he was crying in the first place. Though, he eventually went back to sleep at 4 am, which is when Jin went to sleep beside him.

They ignored the dining hall as they rushed to the training room, ignoring the odd stares they got from their friends when they walked by. Hoseok having to ignore the confusion and minimal hurt in Yoongi's deep brown eyes.

Just like they guessed, Fera was in the training room, by herself, practicing some of her wielding; it's what she did whenever she didn't have to stand guard around the halls, during breakfast, or didn't have to go to a marshalle meeting, training always gave her that boost of adrenaline she needed to get through the day.

Fera's long orange hair was tied in a high pony tail, she was wearing a sleeveless top and had heeled boots on despite the training she was doing. This training consisting of her expanding her fire and trying to control her breathing to help her focus her energy through the flames, while she also used swords and weapons to help her since she couldn't always rely on her fire.

She turned around when SeokJin and Hoseok walked in, a broad smile on her face, "Hey guys, what's up?" she inquired, walking over to one of the many racks and putting the twin swords she was fighting with down.

Hoseok didn't talk, instead he looked at SeokJin, who eyed him back, obviously urging Hoseok to talk. The two began arguing with their eyes.

Fera watched with a hand resting on her hip, clearly amused. Once she started to get annoyed, she clapped her hands to get their attention, "YAH! What's going on?"

Jin pushed Hoseok's shoulder, glaring at him, which caused the younger to finally sigh from defeat, "It's about my resurrection." he put in the simplest terms possible, though Fera didn't need to hear anymore.

She quickly shut the door to the training room, locking it, and closed any door that gave entry way to it. She created a wall of fire around them, to prevent anyone from listening in, and if they tried they would just hear the crackle of flames. Fera took a seat on a mat, urging the two to do the same, which they did with no questions asked.

"Okay, what's happening to you? Are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Fera asked, cupping Hoseok's face and moving his head around to get a better look.

Hoseok chuckled, moving her hands away as he began speaking, "No, no, it's not that. It's...um. i've been having these nightmares-"

SeokJin laughed, though quickly covered his mouth and apologized multiple times. He just couldn't help but find it funny that Hoseok would have to tell Fera about how his wet dreams about Yoongi ended with him burning Yoongi alive, the burning alive part wasn't funny, it was the wet dream part.

Fera glared at SeokJin, her eyes orange since she was holding up the wall around them, Jin quickly gulped before looking down. She smirked, now looking back at Hoseok, "What happens in these nightmares?"

Hoseok sighed, throwing all his pride away as he explained everything to Fera. He told her about the fact he and Yoongi are intimate in the dreams and that when they first had sex they both felt the rush, he told her about the burning Yoongi alive thing and the aura that surrounded him everytime it happened. Fera listened to him, asking questions here and there, but she wasn't judging him because she knew this couldn't have been easy for Hoseok.

Once Hoseok was done, Fera began talking, surprising both Jin and Hoseok with her words.

"When I was little, I was also brought the same way you were," she confessed, now playing with her fingers as she gave Hoseok an understanding smile, "so I know what it feels like, at least, kind of."

Hoseok's eyes widened, "You had wet dreams that turned into nightmares too??"

Fera couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head, her expression setting into a more serious one as she explained what she meant, "I grew up in Tejomaya, the city, and when I was young, about 6 or 7, there was a really bad accident at my school that involved a rouge wind elemental. When everyone was rushing out, I was a small kid, so I was knocked down and fell head first and the guy just-" Fera clapped her hands together, to signify the guy stomped on her head, "now I wasn't dead right away, head trauma, but I died later in the hospital. At the time my parents must have known about the whisp and phoenix thing, so they did it since my mom is a fire elemental and had a whisp. Thankfully, I was brought back through the phoenix," she finished her story, moving her hair to show a mark on her neck of a bird, a Phoenix. "I got this tattooed when I was a teenager to represent it."

No one knew this about Fera, none of the students and none of the other guards or marshalles, the only ones who did were Akida and Malchin.

"It's why Yang made me mad when she said that about you, Jin you know what i'm talking about, Hoseok you've probably heard," they both nodded, "because she knew damn well I was brought back the same way."

Hoseok couldn't help but ask, "How does this relate to me, like the behavior?"

Fera nodded, adjusting herself, "I started acting weird after I was brought back, had major mood swings and wouldn't act like myself. I guess I didn't have the horny part since I was so little. Though, my mom did say it was because of the phoenix, though for me it went away a month later."

Hoseok's eyes widened at a month, how would he manage to avoid kissing Yoongi for month?

As if Fera could read Hoseok's mind, she took Hoseok's hand in her own and looked into his brown eyes with her own piercing orange ones, "Don't avoid him, Hoseok, you'll cause problems in your relationship that you can easily avoid by talking to him and telling him what's going on."

The fire elemental stared down at his hands, "W-what if I hurt him? I can't resist the urge and kiss him-"

"You two kissed when you were in the infirmary room, and after you transformed back-" Jin began, though Hoseok shook his head.

"That was before the nightmares," he told, causing Jin to nod while saying oh, "Fera Noona, I don't want to hurt him."

Fera shook her head, squeezing Hoseok's hands tighter, "Yoongi is a smart boy, he'll make a solution for the two of you, he's the reason you two figured out the touching thing, isn't he?"

Hoseok couldn't deny those words.

Fera smiled when she knew Hoseok couldn't argue anymore.

She grabbed both SeokJin and Hoseok, hugging them tightly, "My gorgeous fire babies," she awed, her head leaning on Jin's.

The two hugged her back, Fera would always feel like another mother to them.
