We all nodded in agreement.
“You should also apologize to Ryder. You almost knocked him out while we were in the middle of campus. Matthew practically forced him to sit down,” Marcus noted.
“He needs to sleep it off. Daniel, can you make sure you check on him in two hours? Maybe less than that. Now that Mako’s recovering, he should sleep a bit longer, but I’d rather play cautiously than deal with the cranky him,” Kai confessed.
“Yup, Azriel loves giving them an extra dose of sleep just to annoy Stryker,” I admitted, scoffing.
“Tell Azriel he’s gonna get all our asses in trouble with his continuous quarrel with Stryker. Can’t they admit they’re best friends already? You and Ryder get along, can’t they put aside their differences and do the same? Just because you guys have complete opposite gifts doesn’t mean you have to war with one another. It’s been what, twelve cycles?” Marcus complained shaking his head.
“You have to admit, it’s amusing to see Ryder storm in here after sleeping for eight to ten hours.” Elias chuckled. It was nice to him smile after all that occurred.
“Remember the time Azriel used a ton of his voodoo sleeping dust and Ryder was knocked out for the whole day. I swear Karen lost her shit.” Kai laughed, the others followed.
“Don’t remind me of that. I had to wear that stupid, magic sealing bracelet for TWO weeks! I bet Stryker got a laugh out of that. Not to mention he made sure to knock me into the fucking pool during training as pay back! PAY-FUCKING-BACK! I would have drowned if Ryder hadn’t resurfaced and grabbed my ass out of there!” I snarled.
The day I learned how to swim would be the end of the galaxy. I could handle water, as long as it was up to my chest. Anything higher than that would probably kill me. Michael was just the same. We still believed we were probably gonna have to deal with the weakness sooner or later, or we’d be in big trouble if we actually had to face a situation that required a heap load of water.
I wondered if Mako knew how to swim?
“Hey, why don’t we throw a pool party?” Kai suggested, his eyes sparkled with excitement. I frowned, raising my eyebrow at him.
“Did you not hear what I just said?” I questioned.
“A pool party would be fun. Matthew can help us fill the pool with fresh water and I can pass by Earthala and try to find a unicorn float. Can you imagine Mako’s face when she sees it?” Marcus offered.
“Hello? Anyone care about the non-swimmer here?” I mentioned.
“Has Mako ever swam before? I wouldn’t mind giving her lessons. It could come in handy one day. I think Eli would have fun teaching her, too. Be a good way for them to bond again,” Elias voiced out as he stood up; his usual self-confidence returned.
“You never offered me swimming lessons.” I continued my protest.
“Because you won’t even go near water unless forced by Karen or Matthew. And you can sit on the side of the pool, or even put your legs in,” Elias suggested as he grinned.
I groaned, glaring at him.
“OH! I know! I’ll get him those floaty things for kids! What are they called? Damn, I’m gonna ask Junho when I get there. He’ll be able to get me the perfect size for you. Your older brother is a tad taller than you, right? You guys are the same body build though, so it’s all good. I’ll tell Junho to use him as an example,” Marcus commented, brushing off my concern.
“I’m not wearing those stupid floaty things for kids,” I argued.
“But if you do, you’d get to swim with Mako.” He argued back, smirking at me.
I glared back, unable to argue with that statement.
Fuck, I’d love to have some quality time with her.
“Hey, Mako doesn’t have a bathing suit then,” Kai pointed out.
We all turned to glance at him, realizing he was right.
“Mako in a bathing suit,” Elias whispered.
“With her markings on display,” Marcus noted.
“I call first dibs,” Kai announced.
We all whipped our heads to stare at him.
“Oh, hell to the Starlight’s no!” Marcus argued.
