A Magic to Melt A Heart (TinCan)

Chapter 2 - Deception

Tin looked up and saw a short teenager running towards him with a furious look.

"Get away from my Gucci!" Can furiously repeated as he went in between Tin and Gucci.

Can is aware of the identity of Tin since he is well-known in the university. He also knew about the dark rumors surrounding him especially regarding summoned beasts being killed on the spot the moment he sees them. Even if it is only a rumor, Can cannot take any risk.

He raised his head and directly looked into Tin's eyes since he is a little shorter than the ice prince. There was a certain coldness that can be seen in the ice prince's eyes that would make one shudder and cower in fear but not Can. For him, losing a summoned beast is the worst kind of fear that he has. He is willing to do anything to protect his summoned beasts even if he has to sacrifice himself.

Can blocked the ice prince's view of Gucci as he raised both of his arms to the side. He pouted and furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to intimidate him.

Tin was a bit surprised that someone from the university who was not intimidated of him. Aside from Pete, everyone else was scared of him. It was the first time too that someone dared threaten him.

"Is this supposed to scare me?" Tin asked himself.

The ice prince figured what the shorty was trying to do and smirked.

"How amusing," he told himself.

Tin removed the smirk out of his face and returned to his indifferent yet cold attitude.

"The next time I see your disgusting beast, I won't hesitate...." Tin whispered to Can's ears.

Can was frozen for a moment as the warm breath touching his left ear gradually disappeared. Tin walked away and went directly to his car.

The little beast summoner covered his left ear while still dumbfounded and furious.  His eyes followed Tin's movements.

"I already hate that guy..." he said as his right hand formed into a fist.

He calmed himself as he took a deep breath. He then looked down and faced Gucci.

"Are you ok, Gucci?" Can worriedly said.

"You shouldn't just leave like that without my permission. It's dangerous!" he continued.

Can proceeded to hug the cute gelatinous beast.

Gucci who was the main cause of the incident seemed to be ignorant of what just happened. As soon as Tin left the Transfiguration building, he struggled to free himself from Can's grasp as he tried to follow the ice prince with determination. Can let him go since he thought that Gucci was uncomfortable. The beast with an evident enthusiasm with his shimmering eyes started jumping towards the direction of the exit. As he was about to go outside the exit and towards the parking lot, Can caught him mid-air when he jumped.

"Gucci! What are you doing!?" Can worriedly said.

"You went to a different direction. The Magic Beast's Garden is on the opposite side. You silly!" he continued as he tightly hugged Gucci again.

Gucci started whining and struggling but Can didn't let him go this time.

The master and his beast went back to the garden and met with Ae.

"Where did you find him?" Ae asked as he pinched Gucci's cheeks.

"Kyuu! kyuu!" Gucci uttered in pain.

Gucci hated when Ae pinches his cheeks because he would do it really hard. His cheeks would turn redder than his already red skin and he would feel pain. It is just unfortunate that he doesn't have the ability to say any words to make Ae stop.
