Zoctornyia's Training Grounds Part 4
Tiffany giggled slightly as she walked off to be with Violet. Marcus watched them walk off then he turned to his brother and asked, “Am I really that bad?”
His brother winked at him, “Not at all, you just need more training.”
Marcus’ mouth dropped as he heard the last of the sentence. He grumbled out behind his brother, “Good to know my family thinks so highly of me.”
His brother stopped abruptly infront of him and turned around. It all happened so fast that Marcus had no time to stop himself from running face first into his brothers’ muscle bound chest. He stepped back a little to rub as nose as he glared up at the man, “Why did you do that?”
The older brothers’ expression showed how pissed off he was. Yet, Marcus had no idea why. He growled out to Marcus, “We would never think lowly of you, Marcus. We have done so much to keep you safe from harm.”
Tiffany asked in a hush voice as the two brothers turned and sat down at the large-picnic type-table, “Harm from what?”
Their brother turned to stare at their father -for a few silent seconds-before answering them, “Nothing for you two to worry about.”
Violet hissed out under her breath, “Well at least tell us your name.”
He chuckled inwardly, “My name is Halldar.”
Marcus continued to rub his nose as he picked at his food in disgust. “They could have at least made it look like a cake…” He mindlessly rambled on, “God, your abs hurt…” His fingers stopped rubbing the bridge of his nose as he continued, “At least wear something soft over them…you know….to cushion impact…Hey wait.” Marcus turned to Halldar, “You were wearing armor…..”His eyes grew wide as he took in that Halldar WAS wearing armor. “Clearly I have lost my bloody mind…” He huffed slightly as he started to play with his food again, “No wonder it hurt running into you….your laced with metal.”
Halldar couldn’t help it this time. His laughter filled the air along with a few others’ as well. He gently rubbed Marcus’ shoulder as he let his healing flow through his fingers into his younger brothers’ body. “I was wearing armor up until you ran into me.”
Marcus looked up into the golden eyes and searched for the truth as he stated, “I didn’t see you strip.” He teasingly pointed to Violet and Tiffany as he continued, “Those two would have been whistling up a storm if you did.”
Tiffany’s face turned bright red, while Violet’s lips turned up with a large grin. She shouted out, “Hell yeah, strip tease!”
Tiffany smacked her, “He is your brother.”
Violet winked back at her, “Not by blood.”
Tiffany’s mouth dropped open as she gasped, “That’s horrible, Violet.”
Violet shrugged, “How so? It would just be a strip tease. It’s not like I said lets jump his body.”
Tiffany covered her face with her hands as she whispered, “We are so going to be kicked out of school.”
Marcus didn’t even reply to Tiffany’s remark, he was too busy waiting for Halldar to answer. Halldar slowly started to drift his armor away, little by little. That did it, Violet bounced in her seat while shaking Tiffany, “Tiffany, you’re missing the show.”
Tiffany groaned as she slightly opened her fingers to look at Halldar. Sure enough, her brother’s upper body was now bare for the world to see. She pushed Violet slightly as she groaned, “Stop acting like a dog in heat….do you want to get suspended?”
Violet’s nose crinkled slightly as she mindlessly scanned the sky, “No…that would suck….OMG, Tiff, look…there are three suns.”
Tiffany’s eyes turned upward and her mouth dropped as she took in the sight of three bright suns each one a different size. “OMG, you’re right.”
Marcus continued to stare his brother down as he whispered, “Who cares about the suns…he just went half naked within a blink of an eye and all you two can think about is the suns…” A shocked expression filled his face as he babbled on, “Three suns….no way…” Now he himself was staring up at the suns as Halldar grew his armor back into place. “Why three? Isn’t one enough?” Slowly turning back to Halldar he asked, “Don’t you guys get sunburned?” His eyes grew wide once again, “And again…your back in armor….WTH?!”
Halldar chuckled as he replied to Marcus, “No.”
Marcus stared at him for a few seconds before stating, “Yes you are.” He reached over and tapped his brother on the chest armor, “See…armor.”
Daniel’s laugh drew Marcus’ attention to him. He was sitting with a bunch of other people at tables that sat up on a large bleacher like area. “He was telling you, he doesn’t get sunburned, Marcus, as for the armor…it is like a second skin to us.”
Marcus turned his eyes back to Halldar, he teasingly poked his brother’s chest again, as he asked, “Does this hurt?”
Halldar grinned as he did the same back to Marcus, “Does that hurt.”
Marcus glared at his brother, “Actually yes…you poke hard.”
Halldar’s expression softened as he gently healed his brother with a touch, “Sorry.”
Marcus chuckled as he pushed his brother’s hand away from him, “I was joking.”
Tiffany shyly whispered, “Is he dressed yet?”
Violet struggled to pull Tiffany’s hands away from her face as she teased her, “Nope, he is butt naked now.”
Tiffany’s gasp and sudden movement knocked Violet off her seat. She rolled over onto her stomach while laughing, “God…you’re too easy to mess with, Tiff.” Tiffany glared down at Violet then slowly extended her hand to offer help. “That’s ok…I am a big girl and can get up on my own.”
Tiffany frowned down at her, “Sorry, you just shocked me by saying that.”
Violet winked up at her, as she sat up. “I know…it was too good to resist.”
Marcus’ voice got Tiffany’s attention, “Don’t worry, Tiffany, if any one strips I will be sure to tell them to put some clothes on.”
She glared at him as Violet took her seat. “I bet you would.”
He poked at the meat on his plate as he whispered, “After I let them shock the hell out of you first…that is.”
Her mouth dropped open as she struggled to reach around Halldar-who was now trying to hold her back-to smack Marcus. “I know where you sleep, Jerk.”
