Grian's POV:
Grian got chills down his neck, as if someone was watching him. He had folded his wings against his back and spun around to face this person. There stood a tall man, a good 6'4 if you asked Grian. His face was sharp and his nose was cut by a scar. He'd mistake this man for an intruder if Aurora hadn't cleared her throat and introduced him.
"Grian, this is my brother, Scar." Aurora stated before turning to her brother and speaking, "Scar, this is my instructor Grian.”
As if regaining his composure, The ‘Scar’ man grinned widely -Were his cheeks kinda pink? Probably just Grian’s imagination- and stuck out his hand
“Nice to meet you, Grian!”
“Nice to meet you too, Scar.”
Aurora smirked. She ran over to Ariana and whispered something in her ear, causing her to glance over and then both of them collapsing into a fit of giggles. Huh? What’s that about? Eh, he’ll figure it out later.
Scar seemed to stare at Grian, kinda in a trance. If Grian was any smarter he'd know that he seemed out of it. Maybe the man just had a big head and thought a lot. Grian hadn't cared right now either way. He had to get the rest of the kids to their parents or guardians.
“Well, uh, Scar- I have to get back to my job. Cub has my phone number if you have any questions.” Grian stated, not knowing that Scar would take that a different way.
TIME SKIP 3 HOURS LATER
If Grian had to explain his day, he'd explain it as a fish dying in the sand. Why? He had no idea. It just wasn't normal. He went to work, the first thing he hears is that Ariana got in trouble– which was normal. The part that wasn't normal was this scarred man, coincidentally named Scar. He was the typical “oh save me” prince type almost. His words fit right in his mouth, like a poet. God did he hate those types of people.
Although…Scar is somehow different? Grian didn't feel hatred towards Scar.. Maybe because his sister was such a good student. Bias and all. Which is what Grian was trying to convince himself.
Grian was currently sitting on his couch, drinking his favorite tea. Herbal tea was most definitely the best tea. Tastes like a sweet morning with a bit of dew. It was nice and warm compared to the harsh snowy world outside. London was an amazing place, it was close to home and similar. Everyone was nice, although he didn't like people too much.
Oh, nevermind that, he's run out of tea. He'd get up and put his phone on the table before getting up and heading to the kitchen. It was cozy and livable, not too big-the apartment and the kitchen. Grian headed to the sink to clean his mug before his phone started to ring.
There were only three things this could be.. his mom, his siblings or a parent calling and informing him that their kid wouldn't be in class. And if he really wanted to be wrong, maybe even X. Actually, there was only one real way to figure it out, since all those phone numbers weren't in his contacts.
“Hello?”
“Oh! Uh- this is awkward.. Is this Grian?” the person on the other side asked.
“Maybe.. who is this?” Grian asked through the phone.
“This is Scar! You know.. Aurora’s bigger brother?” Scar said.
Grian realized that he was talking to Scar.. the guy with a scar slashed through his nose. The guy the Grian really can't stop thinking about because he's.. unique.. uniquely weird.
“Hello..?” Scar said from the other side.
Oh.. he must've blanked out.
“Hey! Sorry- Yeah this is Grian. Why ‘d you call?” Grian said as he put the phone on speaker and headed to the kitchen. There was complete silence after Grian questioned Scar. Did this man not have a reason to call?
“Can't a man call his sister's teacher to make sure he's doing okay? I mean, teacher's work hard and you could be stressed out-” Scar rambled before Grian started to cut him off with..
“Scar, we barely know each other for you to be checking up on me and worrying.” Grian simply stated.
“We've known each other for a few hours-”
“We introduced ourselves for a couple of seconds before I had to get back to work.” Grian was thinking logically instead of optimistically, compared to Scar.
“I'm also picking up my sister from now on.” Scar said, joy underlined in every word he used in that sentence.
Grian didn't feel opposed to seeing Scar everyday or so. I mean he hated the other parents with all their stupid gossip and politics, with everything all about them. He sat and listened to the other parents, while with Scar he didn't know what to expect. To Grian, Scar seemed like the type of guy that WILL sit you down and talk with you for hours about Disney and Star Wars, and Grian’s fine with that. Might enjoy it, even.
Grian chuckled. “Sure, big guy. Good for you. Well, to answer your questions, I’m doing well, not really feelin’ the stress too much right now. And you, I speak from experience when I say big brothers work hard too. Are you doing well? Any stress on your end?”
Scar's POV:
As soon as Grian asked how he was doing, Scar felt a hot flush creep across his cheeks.
“M-me?”
“Yeah, you. Are you okay?” Grian’s smooth, beautiful voice rang out from the other end.
Looking up from cutting the vegetables, Cub smirked and mouthed ‘Lovesick’ to Aurora, and Aurora, who was helping him, also smirked and vocalized “Oooooo!”
Scar moved the phone a little away from himself and hissed at both of the others to shut up. They were making nothing better as he got embarrassed by both of them. He took a deep breath before putting that mask of confidence back up and swindling a few words. Although it had barely calmed his heart.
“I-I'm doing fine, thank you.”
“Hmm, you sure? You don’t sound too good…”
“O-oh, you don’t have to worry about silly old me! I’m great!”
“Well, whatever you say. Anyway, it’s now time for me to go on my own big brother duties to prevent my siblings from exploding…”
Scar found himself bursting into laughter. To his delight, he heard Grian join him from the other side.
“O-oh man. Are they chaotic?”
“Extremely. Pearl and Jimmy might have set the world on fire with Ariana by now if I wasn’t there. But, to be honest, I would have joined them if our older cousins Martyn and Lizzie weren’t there to reel me in too!”
And they both cracked up again. God, Scar loved hearing Grian laugh. It was beautiful, and a nice change from the stoic man he’d met earlier.
“Isn’t Pearl also a teacher at the academy?”
“Yeah, she’s quite the teacher in fact, however still chaotic, she doesn’t teach ballet like the rest of us, instead teaching weapons dancing.”
“Weapons dancing? That’s so cool! But isn’t that also a bit dangerous?”
“Oh, it is. You should have seen how much she used to get hurt when she started out. But she’s a professional now, and an amazing one, at that.”
“That’s amazing.”
“Well, I really do have to go now. Lovely talking to you, Scar.”
“You too! Goodbye!”
Scar put the phone down, positively glowing. Aurora and Cub walked over, dinner must be ready!
“So,” Aurora began, “How did you manage to make a boyfriend out of my instructor so quickly?”
All thoughts of dinner flew out the window, as Scar became extremely flustered.
“AURORA! H-he’s not my boyfriend!”
“But you want him to be, don’t you?”
“N-no! We’re just friends, and that’s what it’s gonna be! Yep, juuust friends!”
“Oh, stop being in denial Scar, you totally have a crush on Grian” Cub joined in, with a knowing grin plastered on his face.
“I DO NOT! BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!”
And both Cub and Aurora pointedly stared at him.
“O-okay, maybe a little…”
“FINALLY!”
