#I’d say me and Epel have the same accent but there’s no way he’d have a Floridian southern twang

Thank you Hank Hill

Greetings! I would like to request a story about Sebek Zigvolt and Epel Felmier, being friends interacting. I thought it would be great during Flying lessons, working together for the day, and maybe talking about their insecurities once they are comfortable with each other. Please take care of yourself and do not feel obliged to rush making it. Thank you very much for your effort and your sharings, have a nice day!

Setting: Flying lessons and after

Characters: Epel and Sebek

Lol I’m so sorry I made Epel a little to cocky…

Sebek watched in awe at the other first year zooming by, doing all sorts of tricks.

“Felmier! Get down here now!” Epel stopped and glided down with a round of his eyes. “You know better then to do all that. This is basic flying not a competition. You could injure yourself or others.” Epel put his head down. “Say if you’ve going this much energy why not help out your fellow classmates?”

“Fine Professor Vargas.” Epel walked over to Sebek and Deuce. “So do you guys need help of something? Vargas says I need to help you guys get of the ground.” Sebek replied,

“No I’ve got the basics down.”

“Same here. I’m taking off now” Deuce then as he said took off.

“Then why aren’t you up there?” Epel glanced to Sebek

“I’m simply watching my lord.” Epel looked up to the sky, covering the sun from his vision, he could see Malleus with Lilia flying together.

“So why are you just watching?”

“I’m to be there incase my lord falls!” Sebek continued to watch Malleus.

“Don’t you think he’d catch himself with magic though?” Epel shrugged with an annoyed face. “Come on teach says I gotta help someone and your it. Let’s go”

Sebek thought about it and decided to follow reasoning ‘Malleus is great at everything and Epel was right and would catch himself’. Sebek and Epel took off rising up to the rest of the class. Epel was top of the first years when it came to flying skills while Sebek wasn’t the best he certainly wasn’t going to fall either. Epel started to lay back on his broom,

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? You might fall, Epel!” Epel chuckled,

“You really think I’d fall Sebek? Not likely. I’ve got time to kill since I don’t have to practice.” Sebek saw a shadow go over him and looked up to see his lord, he continued to watch him for a time. Sebek didn’t notice Epel looking at him now sitting up. “Are you still watching ‘your lord’” Epel mocked “I’ve noticed when you do thinks it’s always because of Malleus or ‘I can’t hang out because I have to watch Malleus.’.” Sebek sighed, “I was entrusted with the responsibility to watch over and protect Malleus, out of all the students and people in the world, it’s MY JOB!”

“Why don’t you do things for yourself?”

“I do this for myself.”

“No you don’t. Come on there has to be something that you love that you can’t do because your with Malleus all the time, like a hobby? Don’t you hate that?”

“Well… I like horseback riding and science. I don’t really get to do my club activities sometimes because Silver or Lilia are away.”

“See. I’m sure Malleus is fine for the hour or two your away. Or at night your not with him.”

“But!”

“No ‘buts’ Malleus is one of the most powerful mages in the world i’m sure he can take care of himself.”

After Flying in a study hall

“Your allowed to talk and work out homework with your peers.” Mozus finished.

Sebek went to sit with Epel. One because Malleus doesn’t have this class and more importantly two what Epel said to him before.

“Hello, can I sit with you, Epel?” Epel looked up and patted the seat next to him, inviting Sebek to sit.

“Thanks for sitting with me.” Epel whispers leading in “I suck at history.”

“Well I can help you then, I also wanted to thank you for what you said earlier, It really opened my eyes.”

“No problem, now the real problem is that I have no clue who this guy is.” Epel chuckled.

“I’m better at Analytical magic, but that’s not to say I’m bad at history.” Sebek started to explain. “There we go. Now we’re even, Epel. I helped you just as you helped me.”

“Thanks, but I have another favor to ask, but I’ll ask at lunch.” No sooner did class end.

When class ended the students made their way to the cafeteria for lunch. Sebek usually sat next to Malleus but today he instead looked for Epel. He eventually found him in the courtyard on a bench.

“Hey Sebek! Come on over!” Epel yelled. This startled Sebek because Epel always had a soft and gentle voice, and never did he raise it.” Sebek walked over a sat down.

“So what was it you wanted to ask?” Epel’s eyes lit up, as he pointed to Sebek’s arms.

“How are you so strong, I could never. I thought you were the best person to ask, that is if your okay with answering.”

“No I don’t mind, it’s simple. I train with Silver in sword play almost everyday, run and general exercises each day. Anyone can do it, I find the simplest way is the best way.”

“You say anyone like it’s easy.”

“What do you mean?” Epel sighed the said.

“Well, it’s Vil, he’s always wanting me to be a dainty little thing, polite and sweet, like a princess or something. And it annoys the hell outta me!” Epel’s voice got more annoyed, Sebek could hear a different accent coming out, but before it could Epel finished. “I just… I hate It. I was raised in the country and I wanna be more of a man. That’ all, and I thought you were the best person to go to about it… Cause I wanna be like you.”

“Hahahaha” Sebek laughed out, “Just ignore him, your, your own person. If you follow my advice, well… help me with something I’ll help you. We’ll just focus on lean muscles, that way they don’t show much. I owe you this much.”

“Awesome!” Epel jumped up off the bench ion excitement, he turned back to ask, “Wait, what did you need help with?” Sebek’s face showed a shy smile and a light blush turned his ears and cheeks light pink.

“Well um. I’m good at science, math and most things, but I’m kinda lacking in the creative aspect of life, and I… I’ve been told to be quieter. If you can help me, I’ll help you.” Epel held out his hand, “Right! I’ll try to help! But just so you know you’re a lot tamer than I am, so I don’t know how much I can help.” Sebek told Epel’s hand to solidify their promises to help the other.
