Ricky
Ricky tapped his feet on the marbled floor beside the swimming pool. For some reason, he felt restless, as if something had happened. But as far as he know, nothing eventful happened before or in the future so what is this uneasiness that he's feeling right now?
"You're thinking about something?"
Lucas, Ricky's big brother said while walking near him beside the pool. Ricky glanced at Lucas before answering.
"Nothing much, just things."
"You don't wanna tell your big brother?" Lucas grinned.
"Uh- no? Why would I spill it to you?" Ricky answered and Lucas chuckled in response.
Then, they were both quiet.
"Has father and mother gone to work?" Ricky started.
"Yeah. Even though it's summer holiday, they are as busy as ever." Lucas sighed.
"How about you, Lucas? Not working?" Lucas smirked. "I asked for a holiday from father. Gotta accompany my lonely younger brother now am I?"
He said and Ricky clicked his
Irya' is... pretty cute, isn't she? I want a pixie to myself too, not like I can see one XD
NoelDING DONG!The bell rang, waking Noel up from his slumber. He gathered all his strength just to sluggishly drag himself out from the bed and to the main door.He paused for a moment just to gain another strength to twist the door knob and opened it. Then he blinked his eyes and froze when he saw Ricky was at the door, staring at him with a surprised look."You..."His voice trembled then he noticed the golden aura surrounding Ricky was unconsciously trying to reach him and frantically stepped back while hugging himself.Ricky was surprised and also feeling rejected by Noel's actions, but he couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Noel's current state. Just like the night where he realized that Noel was a mage, his glimmering hair stretched until his ankle. His figure though, looked weak and helpless.He looked thinner from when he last saw him over a month ago. His lips were dry, and his face were pale. Ricky frowned as he clenched
Noel"W-What....?"Noel stammered.He stood up and slowly inched away from Ricky as he looked at him in horror. He was really confident that he had casted the amnesia spell on him, why would it not work?"This can't be..."Noel lifted his hand, attempting to cast another spell, even though he know that he didn't have anymore Mana left in him. Suddenly, Ricky grabbed his already lifted arms and raised it above his head, while trying not to be too forceful on his weak body that looked like it could break anytime. Noel flinched when Ricky's golden aura gradually seeped to him through his fingers, and gave up on trying to struggle away from Ricky."Noel, you are my soulmate!"Ricky said firsthand before Noel could chant anything. Noel blinked in confusion."W-What are you saying… so suddenly?" Noel mumbled."Uhm, how should I say this?" Ricky scratched his head with his free hand. "I did tell you that my family has be
(EXTRA CHAPTER)(RICKY'S POV)(THINGS THAT HAPPENED AFTER THEIR DISPUTE)In my dream, I saw a vivid figure of Noel as he reached his hand to me. While grabbing his hand, I noticed that this plump, soft looking hands weren't mine."Griselda."He called with a sweet voice, seemingly to direct that tone to me.Then a sudden realization came to me, that I am probably dreaming as Griselda, the woman that Noel first fell in love with.Time went to fast forward, but I noticed one thing, that is their each meetings were very simple; meet, idly chatted, exchange intimate gestures and part ways. The only different part was on their last meeting, they didn't greet and simply hugged each other for a very long time.Then one time it happened."Should we make the oath of faith and loyalty?"A voice resounded within me. It seemed like Griselda was the one saying it.Noel didn't say anything and just agreed,
NoelIt was the morning after the night where Ricky slept in the bed together with Noel. After waking up, he stretched himself as he yawned.He looked at the side of the bed where Noel slept and found out that he was not there. Just as he was about to think of his whereabouts, he heard clanking noise from the kitchen below and immediately realized that Noel was cooking.He lie down again on the bed with a stupid grin on his face and an expectant feeling as he wondered what breakfast would his soulmate made for him.After rolling on the bed for an adequate amount of time, Ricky decided to sightsee the neighborhood that Noel lives in from the balcony of his room. He did have tea with him there last night but it was too dark to see the surroundings fully. So without further hesitation, he slipped back his white v neck and slid open the balcony door.He took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. When he reached the end of the balcony and he touched t
(Canon)Connor SullivanMy life is grim.That is the conclusion that I got after living for 21 years of life. Look, I didn't say this out of spite or I am downgrading myself, but if you live while being abandoned by your siblings, and even if loved by your parents, it was just not enough because they both are just busy with their work, anyone would think that their life was useless.Well, maybe not as grim as I think it would be. I have friends from my university; a group of four people who shared the same interests in fantasy comics. By being together with them, I don't think that life is that unbearable anymore, and are able to live on.After walking for quite some time, I finally reached my destination; Saint Iriha university. I am a student that major in computer science, and technology class usually starts earlier than any other classes, because of that I would usually went to university early, go to class, and after class, have a breakfast in
Connor Sullivan"Hey! You're here!"I flinched when Ricky Kruger called me."What's up? Cat got your tongue? Don't worry, I didn't bring my gang here, so you can rest easy." He reassured me, and I slowly look up.I sighed in relief when his other ten gang members weren't there with him, but instead, he came to the back alley with another person.A really DIFFERENT type of person from all his gang members or even his fellow jocks.He wore glasses like me, but his style and confidence were apparent unlike mine and any other nerds that I know. Also, he has a straight back.He weaved a smile before walking to the entrance of the back alley and leaned himself against the wall as he waited.I gulped down nervously when Ricky suddenly scooted near me."Do you have a bank account?" He took out his smartphone. "I can't really hand you a literal nine thousand dollars cash straight to your face, you REALLY will get mugged sooner or
Noel"Congratulations, your majesty."Valheiter's voice resonated inside Noel's head. Noel who was reading books behind the reception table in the library as usual, looked up towards the direction of the dragon somewhere in the sky."Thank you. That's rare, didn't expect you to congratulate me."He closed the book on his hands and placed them on the desk."Of course, your majesty. This is a wonderful occasion, worth to be congratulated."Noel snickered. "Well, you can say that..."Shortly after that, the library's surrounding turned silent when Noel immersed himself in his thoughts."Your majesty?" Valheiter's voice snapped him back to reality."Yes?!" Noel jolted."Are you alright? You just recovered from lack of Mana, shouldn't you still be resting?""No, I can't do that. I already took a full month of just to sleep. My credibility as a librarian will be looked down upon if I rest for too long." Noel repl
NoelIt was just a few days before summer holiday ended. Most people would be finishing their homeworks, and some would still enjoy themselves to the fullest.Meanwhile, Ricky and Noel spend their last few days of summer holiday in Noel's house, reading books leisurely.But then, after a few sentences and paragraphs of the early teens book that he was reading, Ricky grunted."Your house is cramped."Noel who was reading a pocket edition fantasy novel turned to look at him, with an eyebrow raised. "What's with that so suddenly?""I mean, the living room felt too small for the both of us. I'm pretty sure my house is bigger than yours. Won't you come to mine?" Ricky closed his book."What's a small living room gotta do with your invitation to your house?" Noel retorted as he closed his book."Nothing, I just want you to come to my house." Ricky grinned cheekily and buried his face on Noel's back.Noel flinched a bit at the
