Need Some Air

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

School was back in sessions and that meant that some sports were back in as well and the brothers being sport guys that of course meant that they were out on the field. They had track at the moment so were of course down at the track and stretching out. Their power helped them out a lot with the sport of course, with the only huge down fall being that they both had basically really bad asthma. Yet, the boys had thought of something...bad per say that they wanted to try out on Gabriel. She was one of their toys that they called Fire Angel. A girl that they were pretty sure was older them but she was a lot smaller than them and she certainly fell into the category of toys that just didn't know how to fully handle the siblings. Which was fine because the Emory's knew they could be a handful and that was just how they liked it.

"What if she does not even know how to do it?" Jasper asked even if he had been the one to come up with basic idea of the plan, Casper had worked out all the details of it. Jasper just didn't want to end up actually passed out or have someone else do what they wanted Gabs to end up having to do. "Don't worry stupid. I have both of our inhalers. It will be fine worst case." Casper assured his brother and just like that Jasper was comfortable with it and ready to go. They both had planned on using the trick on Gabs, but Jasper would just end up first. Depending on how Gabs took all of it would determine if Casper would go as well. With their plan settled the brothers high fived one another and started to run as fast as they could. Using their power and pushing themselves without having used their inhalers first.

They did stop short just a little bit to prevent the attack from being too bad and made their way over to Gabs who was out on the track field too since she was a part of the club. "Gabs...can't breathe...need...mouth to...mouth." Jasper practically wheezed out as he went towards the girl, falling down to the ground in front of her and rolling over onto his back. "We forgot...our inhalers." Casper added as he too tried to get his breathing under control. This was a very stupid idea, but they were teenage boys and full of them.

[Gabriela Moreau]

Gabriela had a love/hate relationship with being on the track team. On one hand, she loved how the extensive cardio kept her in decent shape and she had to admit to liking the feeling she got after a long, hard practice had ended. During practice, however, was an entirely different story. It, to put it bluntly, sucked. It sucked especially hard during the summer months. Now, as the days were starting to cool and the track season was drawing to a close, the heat wasn't so bad. It still sucked. The long runs to improve distance times, the wind sprints to improve twitch muscles and short event times. It. All. Sucked. But damn did Gabriela love it when it was all over.

Unfortunately for Gabriela, there was still a good half the practice left. She'd been a bit off her game lately, what with the few things that had been going on, but she at least found solace in the focus she could pour into practice. She attacked each training event with an aggression she rarely exhibited. Today's session was more about stress relief than actually getting better at anything and if she had been any larger than her 5'3", 105 lbs, someone probably would've noticed. Alas, this was the bane of being one of the smallest people on the team. She often went unnoticed.

That was, of course, until she heard the haggard, wheezing shout call her name. She'd been doing distance laps around the track and she slowed to a stop, brows furrowed and looked around. She quickly caught sight of Casper (or was it Jasper?) moving toward her before crumpling to the field. Her eyes widened as she attempted to quickly process the information. Gabriela was smarter than such a ploy to work. She had asthma as a young child and knew how it worked. Could mouth-to-mouth even be effective when your airways were blocked? Of course, in her near panic Gabriela failed to think of this.

"Oh my god!" She nearly squeaked as she rushed over toward the boys. "Are you alright?" The dumbest question she could possibly ask came tumbling from her lips. It felt like something wasn't right about the situation but she didn't want to risk someone's life over a bad feeling she had. "Oh, okay!" She nodded quickly, wiping a sweatband clad wrist across her brow before kneeling beside Jasper (or was it Casper?) who lay panting on the grass. Carefully, with a practiced touch, she positioned Casper's (or was this one Jasper?) head properly, took a sharp inhale of breath, leaned down to press her lips around his and exhaled.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

It seemed that this plan was working so far; to the point that at least Gabriela was falling for their little plan. Gabs was not really wrong in what she was trying to do for the boys, but they had asthma and were still breathing. Struggling to breath but they were still breathing, so Gabs just trying to feel his air with lungs when the problem was their lungs were closing off, it was interesting to the boys. Then again, how many people knew how to deal with asthma attacks when someone didn't have their inhaler? Even the brothers didn't know what to do if they really didn't have their inhalers on them. They tended to just work with the other sibling to get their breathing to slow down, or just pass out do to the lack of oxygen and just hoped that they didn't die. The brothers were at least going to give Gabs the benefit in the doubt and hoped that she had just thought of giving mouth to mouth in her state of panic.

Plus she was doing what it was that they had wanted her to do, yet now they were pretty much realizing that this was a bad idea. The brothers didn't even bother to say anything at Gab's question, instead working on getting their breathing under control and feeling the pain of not being able to breath. Yes this was a stupid idea; Casper was going to blame Jasper for not making him see the many flaws with this plan. At least Jasper was getting a kiss out of it, one that he of course returned. Pressing his lips up against Gab's and even trying to sneak a little something more into the kiss before going to roll away. "Okay....score but...bad idea..." Jasper wheezed out as he tried to smirk over his success in kissing Gabs but held out his hand to get his inhaler from his brother. Casper quickly tossing Jasper's his and taking his own as he nodded in agreement with his brothers words.

"Agreed...let no do that...again." Casper said after taking one huff from his inhaler and then took another as he rubbed at his chest. Yes, that had hurt and they both made a mental note to not mess around with their breathing issue again. Even if there was a possibility they would try something similar to this again because they were not the sharpest tools in the shed and they acted on impulse a lot but they would try and remember. "So...how are you?" The brothers asked together as they look at their Fire Angel Toy, still working on getting their breathing together.

[Gabriela Moreau]

Gabriela had, indeed, fallen prey to the twins and their not so brilliant ploy. It should have occurred to her that asthma didn't work they way Casper and Jasper had stressed, but she had, as they'd hoped, panicked and unwittingly complied. She exhaled sharply, attempting to fill lungs that weren't physically able to suck in air. A lesson in futility, to say the least. When she felt Jasper's lips against hers she immediately jerked away. "Hey!" She exclaimed, wiping the back of her hand across her mouth. Her brow furrowed, he mouth remained open in shock as the twins exchanged inhalers and spoke with each other.

It hadn't even been a smart, or particularly clever trick that Gabriela had fallen for. Her head shook as she climbed to her feet and brushed the grass from her knees. "Please tell me you're fucking kidding me." She said, making use of the one f-bomb a day she allowed herself. "This was all..." She shoved Casper in the chest. This, too, was a lesson in utter futility as her tiny form did little to affect the much stronger boy. "You assholes!" She was furious now. Not just at their trick and that she'd fallen for it, but because it was such the wrong way to go about things with her. The twins had, indeed, left her flustered and confused after their first encounter. She couldn't help her mind from drifting to the feel of each of them so close to her as she kissed their cheeks but this? This was underhanded and immature. "Why?" She protested incredulously as her face turned a faint shade of red from embarrassment and anger. Her hands were balled into fists and she stamped at the ground, which did absolutely nothing but make her look all the more comical given her short stature.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Gabriela was quickly pulling away as Jasper kissed her, not even getting to get the full out kiss that he had wanted to get out of this entire trick. It had been a bad idea with a small reward that didn’t really add to the worth of the purpose of the trick. Lesson learned and they just noted to not mess around with their asthma again and just try and get Gabs all hot and bothered other way. Should not be too hard in the long run since it had clearly been so easy last time, but the siblings were wondering just how far they could push Gabriela until she would either give in or break. “Aww, now that hurts.” Jasper pointed out, referring to Gabriela wiping at her mouth, because that was an insult to the more emotional of the siblings. After all, she was wiping away a kiss that he had given her, just for her and she was basically rejecting it.

“Well I certainly hope we are, bad idea or not.” Casper said with a slight chuckle, both their breathing mostly under control now as the medicine opened up their lungs. They also thanked their power for their ability to recover quickly but it was also their power that had caused them to develop asthma in the first place. Casper stepped back a little due to Gab’s shoving him but he just chuckled it off and was not really bothered that much. If he had been expecting it he felt confident enough that he could have held his ground against her shoving. They were very immature boys, a twins set of them since the two of them were only sixteen years old and only had been for a few months now. Since they came into their powers at sixteen and then were brought here.

Plus they had never really dealt with other kids their age like they were now so one could say that they were probably even a little bit more immature then other boys their age. “Easy, there. No need to explode, we were just having fun is all.” Jasper said as he took his brothers hand and got to his feet, dusting off anything on himself. “We just wanted a kiss.” Casper added after helping his brother up and then the siblings were standing next to one another and in front of Gabs. Looking at her in silence for a moment as they leaned against one another. “How are you other than this, Fire Angle?” The brother asked in unison as they started to smirk a little bit.

[Gabriela Moreau]

"No, that's the problem!" Gabriela exclaimed with a disappointed whine to her voice. They just didn't get it. She couldn't blame them, what with having come from a unique background but it was frustrating nonetheless. The twins had, no doubt, left Gabriela flustered and confused in their first encounter and the petite brunette would be lying if she had tried to say she wasn't intrigued and, in a way, fascinated with the young showmen. But this? This wasn't the way to go about things. They didn't need to resort to petty trickery to get her close. She wasn't going to leap into either one of their arms after one encounter, or anyway, but she was certainly closer to the possibility before.

The girl took a deep breath and reminded herself she wasn't dealing with normal boys. "Okay." Gabriela said, visibly calming. "Here's the thing." He large, expressive eyes settled upon the boys. "Girls don't want to be tricked into kissing you." That should've been obvious but it apparently wasn't. "We want to feel desired and we want to want to kiss you." She wasn't quite sure if she was explaining all this in the right way but goddammit, the twins just always left her feeling so turned around she probably wasn't sure what the hell she was saying anyway. "And you were close." She admitted, shrugging a little as she averted her eyes sheepishly. Although she felt compelled to add. "Were[/]."

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brother blinked when Gabriela started talking about there being problem with a clear whine in her voice, communicating that she was upset. Well this had not being the boy’s intent, but it was certainly an interesting reaction to get out of one of their toys. The brothers both ended up leaning on one another as their breathing fully got under control and Gabs seemed like she was about to teach them a lesson. She was right in thinking that the boys were not like any other normal boys out there that she was probably used to dealing with. They were orphans and then they grew up in a circus and had only been out of that life for a few months now. Certain things were still new to them and they figured that you needed to have flash and show when you were dealing with people. They had to be entertained and kept on their toes when they were going to be dealing with The Ghost Boys.

That was what they were raised to think so the snuck they pulled was all for the sake of getting a reaction out of Gabriela and keeping her interested in them as well as them keeping an interest in her. There was nothing worse than dealing with a toy that bored you and Gabs certainly did not bored them, even as she started to explained apparently what girls wanted. The siblings remained silent and just looked at Gabs, blinking as she explained. Alright, so girls didn't want to be tricked into kissing someone. That seemed odd and not as fun, but the siblings could understand it on some level. They preferred to trick a kiss out of someone or just give them one, it was simple that way. Girls wanted to feel desired and want to kiss them. The brothers were confused at that part and it was clear on their face. Jasper raised his hand but going ahead and spoke.

"So wait. You don't feel desired when we try and trick you into kissing us and you don't want to kiss us?" Jasper asked, confused on the matter with Casper nodding in agreement since he did not understand that part. The bother looked even more confused at the last bit that Gabs said. They were close? Close to what? "So you did want to kiss us then?" Casper asked at which both the brothers started to smirk and take a step closer towards Gabriela.

[Gabriela Moreau]

Maybe Gabriela didn't, exactly, word the explanation of her frustration properly but it just didn't seem like the twins got where she was coming from. Then again, in a way, they did sort of call her on her bullshit. Once again, the twins were right, much to Gabriela's chagrin. It may have been misguided and immature, but it did show a desire if the twins would stoop to trickery in order to get a single, brief kiss from her. The fact that they'd actually put themselves in physical danger in the process only succeeded in proving their point further.

Flushing a faint shade of red at Jasper's confused reply, Gabriela exhaled in a huff and furrowed her brow. She didn't really have much of anything in response since the reason and logic of Jasper's observation was fairly sound. "No!" She protested, although the fight was quickly draining out of her. "That's not what I meant." But now even she didn't really know what she had meant. "I-" She stammered and huffed again, her arms folding across her chest. "Well-" She didn't want to admit what she'd felt when the brothers had kissed her after their first meeting but she found it difficult to deny. There wasn't a great deal of affection, really, but there was certainly a sense of attraction and no small amount of lust that accompanied her memories of that day. "Look, I don't know." Her arms dropped as she quietly admitted in so many words that the twins left her thoroughly confused.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers were actually not trying to be difficult in this situation; they were just trying to fully understand. They didn't have a lot of experience with people their age until they came to this school so of course they had a lot to learn. It was one thing to be in front of people in your age group and preforming with time but it was another thing to be actually interacting with them. They could have been going about it all wrong but they didn't care about it too much. They were still having fun and people were still dealing with them so they didn't really see a problem. Plus again, they had wanted a kiss and obviously did something stupid to get one. Something that they should not have done but they were boys and they did stupid things so it happened.

Their Fire Angel was turning red and that just caused the brothers to start to smirk because that had to mean that they were right. At least on some level. She was protesting but it just made the siblings smirk all the more. She had apparently meant something different but clearly was having a hard time explaining it. "What did you mean then?" Casper asked as the siblings still watched Gabs in amusement. "We are waiting." Jasper added after Gabs managed to get out only a few more broken words and what have you. The brothers chuckled a little and gave one another a high five when Gabs admitted that she didn't know. Score one for them. "Well if you don't know, how are we supposed to know?" Casper asked as he and his brother moved closer to Gabs. Casper taking her left side and Jasper taking her right.

"I thought you were older then us Fire Angel. You are supposed to teach us." Jasper added as his hand went to start playing with Gab's hair. The brothers just standing super close and waiting for something, anything at all. Really they just wanted Gabs to explain herself and if she could not then she had to be prepared for them to bother her some more.

[Gabriela Moreau]

Once again Gabriela found the twins to be utterly confusing. It was as if whenever they were around wires in her mind got crossed and she turned into a stuttering, gibberish spouting mess. She flushed a little as they continued to push her for answers. "Tricking a girl into a kiss isn't romantic." She offered, lifting her hand to pull the tie from her hair so she could gather it up and re-do her ponytail. Her mind was beginning to catch up with the situation, making her answers a little more thoughtful and planned. "We don't all like the flowers and stupid poetry thing, but that's better than being tricked.

The fidgeting work she was doing with her ponytail was interrupted as the twins drew closer. Gabriela, as she always did when they were near, flushed faintly. She peered up to each of them in turn and went to say something but she was cut off once Jasper's fingers found their way into the brunette tendrils that now fell over her shoulders. Her first reaction was to push the errant hand away but she didn't. She allowed it, not that she could really prevent it if Jasper really was persistent about it anyway, mostly because it was relaxing. They'd found one of her weaknesses.

Without realizing it, Gabriela leaned a little into Jasper's touch. "I..." She started, but had to pause for a moment as she'd always likened to someone playing with her hair or similar activities to scruffing a cat. She frowned a little and batted weakly at Jasper's hand but didn't protest how close the twins were. She couldn't deny there was an ardent attraction that hung in the air and she felt her heart begin to beat within her chest as she looked up to them. She was at a loss. She didn't know what they were looking for here in the middle of the school's track during practice, but, at least for the moment, she was at their mercy.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"I thought guys didn't have to be romantic with a girl unless they were dating her." Jasper pointed out and he was pretty sure that neither of them was going out with their Fire Angel at the moment. Unless she secrete got Casper alone and asked him out, but then his brother would have told him. That was of course unless Gabs told him not to tell his brother, in which case it was possible that Gabriela and his brother were going out. Yet, he doubted that. Gabs still seemed not the type to be bold enough to ask someone out. "Well, guys are also romantic when they are trying to woo a girl or get in her pants...or both. Right, Gabs?" Casper pointed out and then asked Gabriela her take on it all.

She was a girl and they bother figured by now in her life she would have ended up with someone even if it was just for fun or a quick heat of the moment sort of thing. They found out that she was a college girl after all, which made them feel extremely cool to get an older girl all hot and bothered. It was certainly and confidence and ego boost for the brothers, not that they needed much of an increase to theirs, but it was still nice. "Do you like flowers and poetry?" Jasper asked as he still played with her hair. Both the siblings enjoyed running their hands through a girl’s hair and they especially enjoyed running their fingers along the soft skin girl’s hand. Some guys had soft skin, but girls skin always seemed to feel a lot softer and they loved it.

"We can do the flower part." Casper said as he put his hands together and then pulled them apart from one another after a moment. A small little flower in his hand, an actual living flower, because he liked to use real flowers for his tricks. Sure you had to be a lot more careful with them and use them before the day’s ends or they would look all ugly. This one however was pretty new considering he picked it not too long ago. The brothers looked between one another and then back to Gabs as she still struggled to even form sentences now. "Did we break you?" The brothers asked together with a chuckle.
