✴Waterfall

@Taemin Halla stopped walking, watching him. Well, she really couldn't do anything for him. He was cold and needed warmth. But she didn't have that.

@Halla He nodded his head again even though he knew he wasn't. "Yeah I just need a second." He said before taking in a deep breath and leaning against the closest tree. 'You got this Taemin.' He thought to himself as he let the breath go slowly.

@Taemin Halla looked ahead. "Oh, yeah," she said. She looked then back at him. "Are you sure you're okay?" she asked. He didn't look okay to her.

@Halla He nodded. "Yeah I'm fine it's just a little cold out." He said before trying once again to shake the feeling of dizziness of him." Taemin took a deep breath before finally seeing the school in sight. "There is the school." He said in a low voice.

@Taemin Halla looked at him worriedly. "Are you alright?" she asked, now walking close to him. She couldn't exactly touch him, could she? She was cold. And he looked like he has had enough of coldness. She frowned.

@Halla Taemin shook his head as his sight began to become a little hazy from his lowing temperature, he was now regretting his choice of not bring a bigger coat. The flame he lit slowly went lower as he became dizzy and tried warming himself up the best he could but was failing. "It's really cold." He mumbled to himself.

@Taemin Halla nodded, "Okay," she replied. She hummed softly to herself as she continued walking straight ahead. She still couldn't see the cabins as usual. The waterfalls were a long walk from there.

@Halla "It's too dark." He said as he wasn't able to see where he was walking. Sighing softly he snapped his finger's gently making a flame come to life on his finger. "Stay close." He said as he used the fire as a light to see where he was going so that tripping wouldn't happen again. He was getting really clod out in the night and it was beginning to get windy making him shiver.

@Taemin Halla nodded and started to walk, now ahead of him. He was really warm. She touched her hands. No matter how much she touched herself, she was still cold. She couldn't feel anything. Sometimes she thought she was numb. She sighed. She wished, although she never said it aloud (her father will kill her), she was at least a child of someone warm. Athena wasn't exactly a warm person. She was borne out of Zeus' imagination... or something like that.

@Halla Taemin sighed and grabbed the girls hand while pushing himself off the ground. Once he let the hand go he used both of his to dust of his now dirty clothes off. "I'm fine." He said before sighing. "Watch where your walking." He said as he looked at the girl and crossing his arms. "Let's just keep going." He said holding himself the girls body was a lot colder compared to his since she was water and him fire.

@Taemin "I--I'm sorry," Halla muttered and quickly moved. She stood up and looked down at him. She held out a hand to help him stand. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" she asked. She wasn't really clumsy, just there were occasions where her non existent clumsiness decided to appear. Boy. She sure annoyed him as hell, now.

@Halla Taemin sighed and glanced back at the girl about to give his honest answer before he saw the girl falling over. He reached out quickly grabbed her quickly but wasn't strong enough to keep them both standing causing him to fall over with her landing on him. He groaned as he hit the ground and rubbed his head that he hit against the ground. "Yah, what the hell was that?" He said annoyed at the girls clumsiness. "You don't know how to walk?" He said before looking at the girl who was still laying on him. "Do you mind?" He wasn't thinking about being rube he just couldn't help but let his honest feelings loss he knew he'd try to apologize later.

@Taemin "Really?" Halla asked. "So do I annoy you?" She looked at Taemin with curious eyes. She held her hands together behind her as she walked behind him. However, since she wasn't looking at where exactly she was walking, her foot caught in a fallen branch. She yelped as she fell down.

@Halla Taemin looked back at the girl how was walking slightly behind him. "I do, I don't like crowds." He said before looking back ahead to watch where he was going. "People annoy me." He said being completely honest being with many people and are just three or four he had a habit of getting annoyed and then that caused him to act without thinking.

@Taemin Halla almost smiled. Almost. "We're the same," she replied, "though I don't like silence very much," she added. She wasn't really a fan of it, despite her being quiet. "Do you like silence?" she asked. She assumed he didn't, at first. Fire gave her the impression of being rash and aggressive or something like that.

@Halla Taemin nodded knowing what she meant as he glanced her way. "Yeah I get it." He stated. He noticed the girls mood turn shy suddenly and raised an eyebrow. " I come here every chance I get, mainly because I don't like being around to many people at once plus it's quite." He said.

@Taemin 'Taemin,' Halla repeated in her mind. She nodded slowly as if she was trying to memorize the name. "I always come here at night. It's the only time I'm alone, and not being criticized, at least, not right in my face," she answered. She then blinked, confusing herself a little. "Do you get me?" she asked, shyly.

@Halla "Taemin." He said stating his name before he kept walking. "What are you doing out this late anyways?" He decided to ask as he walked, sliding his hands in his jacket pockets. He had been out to the waterfall many times but this was the first time anyone else had every shown up.

@Taemin "Sorry for being so cold," Halla muttered. She held her hand, trying to feel if it was cold, but as expected, she felt nothing. She pouted slightly to herself. Was she really that cold? She wondered if it was bad for him. He was a son of the god of fire, after all. She glanced at him before actually following after him. "Halla. Halla's my name."

@Halla Taemin pulled the girl off the ground and once she stood he pulled it back. "You're really cold." He said as he rubbed his now sore hand. He figured it was cause of who her father was and since he needed to be warm it didn't react well. "No problem." He mumbled before crossing his arms over his chest once more and began walking toward the woods. "By the way what's your name?" He asked as he stopped for a minute so the girl would follow him.

@Taemin Halla nodded again in agreement. Yep. It would be bad if they got into trouble. She managed to get into a lot of trouble (mainly because of flooding some rooms) and was now being watched often. Well, she knew when she was being watched and where. She looked up at him and took his hand, pulling herself up. She cast her gaze down. "Thanks..." she said. She realized she had never gotten his name yet.

@Halla Taemin glanced at the girl before sighing and using his hands to push himself off the ground. "I'm heading back." He stated. "You should too since it could get both of us in trouble." He added while dusting his clothes off. Taemin didn't know what he was thinking being nice to a stranger but being cruel wouldn't get him anywhere, but being nice was kind of annoying also. He looked at the girl for a second before extending his hand to her so he could help her up. "Here."

@Taemin "I'm sorry for the stupid question then," Halla muttered under her breath. Her cheeks were flushed as she nodded as an answer to his last question. She shyly hid her face inbetween her knees. "Y-Yes, I am..." Oh why did she have to sleep through lunch time? She sighed and played with the ends of her hair.

@Halla Taemin chuckled but it wasn't really out of amusement, I mean did the girl really just ask him, the son of fire if he wanted to swim. "If I wanted to die I'd jump right in." He said before crossing his arms across his chest and leaning on his knees he was beginning to get really cold. He was thinking maybe he should head back since not only him but both of them would get in trouble for being out this late. He raised an eyebrow at the girl as he heard the grumbling of a hungry stomach. "Hungry?" He asked as he turned his head toward her.

@Taemin Halla hesitated before shaking her head. "No," she answered. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Or maybe you're the one who want to swim?" she asked. Well, that's not really a question. This stranger was a son of Hephaestus and probably wouldn't like water so much. She then looked back at the waterfalls. She pulled her knees in and rested her chin on them. Usually, she felt really sleepy at this time of night, but for some reason, she felt awake. Was it because of her sleeping though lunch? As if on cue, her stomach grumbled, causing her cheeks to flush a deep red.

@Halla Taemin made have not been a big God's child but he sure know what it felt like to have someone expect so much from you. His father's consent pushing him and expecting better from him everyday. He made have seemed like he wasn't listening since he never really looked at the girl beside him but he heard her. "I see." He said with a slight nod. Taemin leaned over grabbing a leaf that had fell at his feet and picked it up holding it between his fingers, playing with it slightly. "You can swim if you want." He said before letting out a sigh. He had saw it in the way the girl moved that she wanted to swim and after he found out who her father was he knew for sure.

@Taemin Halla nodded, sighing. "It's hard. They expect a lot from me," she replied. Yes, responsibilities. It was something she didn't like to have. If she'd have her way, she would make her life in a way which she wouldn't do a lot. She wasn't lazy, to be honest. She just didn't like the consequences that come after it. She... wasn't really good in taking things in. That was one of the reasons she didn't like to talk.

@Halla She was the daughter of Poseidon, that explains why Taemin became suddenly so cold around her. "Poseidon huh?" He said as he raised his eyebrow slightly. "That's can't be fun." He stated before letting himself go so that he could zip his jacket shut. The male knew it couldn't be fun being such a big God's child. Taemin had heard a lot of Poseidon and Zeus along with other bigger Gods from his father saying that if Taemin worked pass his hardest he could maybe become so big. But Taemin never cared about being a big God, he just simply wanted to be what he wanted and follow his passions.

@Taemin "My dad's Poseidon and my mom's Athena," Halla answered immediately. She didn't know if she was lucky that she got her mother's brains and her father's powers. Poseidon was included in the big three, one of the most powerful gods there were. She had sometimes thought that being a child of Poseidon brought great responsibility. But at least, for now, her life was peaceful like she wanted, which she was thankful for.
