Jimmy, empires 2 episode 18

…

Okay but the moment Tango started huffing and separated himself from the ranch house, watching his and Jimmy’s home burn to the ground, my imagination conjured an image (haha sike apparently I conjured a mini fic. why. how did this happen so quickly-????):

TangoTek, a blazeborn, usually has a pretty solid grip on his fire. He’s a very lighthearted Hermit, willing to joke and play around. His anger is quick to rise and quick to fade. Sure, occasionally his hair will spark when he’s especially passionate about a project, or his mouth and nose will puff smoke when he’s annoyed, but Tango very, very rarely emits full Flames when he’s around non-fireproof material. (Of course, his own base and the Nether is fair game. He’s not just going to suppress a vital part of his soul, after all.)

Tango has seen projects go wrong. He’s lost battles, been stung by betrayals, even mourned. Throughout it all, he refuses to let his flames touch the people he loves and their creations, because his friends are so important to him, regardless of the battlefield or the stakes. It’s all just a game in the end, after all…

Tango breathes. He tries to remind himself of that. He huffs, and he stares, and he hears Jimmy’s voice go in one ear and straight out the other. He hears the yelling and the laughing and the taunts and the communicators buzzing and the cows panicking. None of it matters right now. He backpedals, staring at the still-alight ruins that he and his soulmate once called home. He distances himself from the very much wooden structure.

Because Tango is fully ablaze. Full, roaring Flames burst from his core as he seethes. Scar has never had to worry about the unstoppable force that is a blazeborn’s Flames. Scar has gone unchecked, gallivanting around, trying to make Tango betray his soulmate. Scar burned their home to the ground.

Tango seethes, and rages, and burns. He lets Jimmy help him tame the Flames with a special horn and a calm, yet trembling smile. He pulls the Fire inwards until the last sparks are dancing in his hair. The Flames may appear as though they are gone, but Tango merely lets them burn brighter in his core, stoking them.

They’ll come in handy when he returns the pain a thousand fold for hurting his soulmate. And this time, the fire will never touch a hair on their heads.
