Petrichor

Darkness with bright flashes of blue filled Tyair's vision while he drifted for what felt like years across the endless expanse of black.

Every discharge of vibrant blue energy that flowed through his vision struck his body with a thunderous clap that sent jolting waves through his skin, with every breath the darkness forced its way into his system. His once dark brown hair becoming dark stormy grey, brown eyes turning a dull azure blue, his well-built muscles covered in smooth brown skin compressed becoming denser and firmer around his 182 cm frame; his rough but charming face scrunched in intense pain while he underwent these changes.

**********

Joseph was just staring.

"What the hell is going on?" he muttered, utterly baffled at the entire situation. Right before his eyes, 'Why the hell is his hair changing color', he screamed internally. Swallowing his hesitation, Joseph slung Tyair over his shoulder before making a mad dash for the open kitchen, he crouched under the island countertop placing Tyair against the cabinet door and waited for the intense rumbling to stop...

...Then it did.

*Tap, *Tap, *Tap

"Move before I kick you", Joseph heard Tyair's very serious threat behind him and did what any other brother would do and farted.

*Pah

A strong kick landed on Joseph's back, tumbling forward into the cabinet ahead.

*Bang

"Hey dickhead why'd you actually kick me that fucking hurt". Joseph protested in outrage.

"That's what I should be asking, why in the hell did u fart on me weirdo". Tyair screamed with a face full of disgust.

After glaring at Joseph some more, Tyair noticed his hair and grabbed one of his locks just staring at it. "So, what's up with that?" Joseph asked, gesturing to his new makeover.

"Idk, but I think I'm gonna dye this, not gonna lie, not really feeling the dark grey", Tyair said dismissive tone and a blank stare.

"I'm pretty sure that's the least of your worries u should run to a mirror real quick", Joseph said while making a face that Tyair couldn't decipher. Not wasting a single second, he rushes back to the bathroom to see what else could be different, but when he gets there, he stops in his tracks seeing his cosmetic changes.

"DUDE WHAT THE HELL!!"

Making his way to the bathroom Joseph hears Tyair's opinion on his new look and he couldn't help but laugh, he personally thought the ladies would like the more exotic look, but he digresses. "Hey just breathe, it's not the end of the world, u can always dye your hair and wear contacts, what I'd be more upset about is the loss of your gains, dude, you look like you went on a hunger strike," Joseph snickered.

"Can you be serious for one second Jesus Joseph", he said rolling his eyes. 

"Don't forget Mary", Joseph quipped.

"You're so annoying", he facepalmed.

*Que Siren Noises*

"What's code black, have you ever heard of that Joseph?" Tyair questioned confused.

Joseph on the other hand had a face whiter than usual with sweat starting line his forehead. "Get your clothes on, and grab anything you mind losing right now!" Joseph said in a voice that screamed urgency while full sprinting towards his room. 

Listening to the announcement and the panic in the voice of his brother, Tyair also sprinted to his room, but unlike his brother, the moment he went to take his first step he shattered the tile underneath himself propelling forward at speeds he could only dream of.

Straight into the wall next to his door.

*Boom, *Crash

Tyair plowed into the wall, almost collapsing the whole thing, if not for him trying to stop almost as soon as he started. After pulling himself out of the indent he made in the wall he stared at it in mild shock, because not only did he move at least 40mph, but he also felt like he could've moved faster if he tried. "Damn, I don't have a scratch on me". While he twirled around observing his body Joseph burst out his room fully clothed face full of confusion.

He had on forest green shorts made of a soft fabric with sneakers to match and a white T-Shirt, "what was that noise", he asked staring at the wall in shock. "Hey, are you ok, what happened to the wall", he asked.

"I just ran", Tyair said blankly.

"Come again"? Well now Joseph was just lost.

After explaining what happened to Joseph, the biggest smile that Tyair had ever seen him create plastered his face in a wide grin. "You got superpowers!" Joseph says with the zeal of a child meeting his hero. "Are you just fast or are you strong too, is there anything else you can do"? Joseph shot out two questions before Tyair could even get out his next word.

"I guess I am pretty strong after all, I don't have a scratch on me and honestly, I have no idea", Tyair said, unbothered by his brother's questions, after all, they both love anime and movies so his excitement for real powers. Joseph slowly circled Tyair eyeing him from head to toe, making sure he didn't miss anything new about his brother's change. After circling him a few times Joseph leaned in close and took a big sniff of Tyair.

"What the hell are you doing", Tyair leaned away shooting his brother a weird glance.

"Hmmm, you smell funny, but it's very familiar where have I smelled this before", Joseph pondered completely ignoring Tyair.

After a few seconds of thinking he finally got his answer.

"Petrichor"! It finally clicked why that smell was so familiar to Joseph.

"What's that"? Tyair was confused because it was his first time hearing this term.
