Prologue

"I know it's stupid.. But it's awesome at the same time."

"Aww.. C'mon Lukas.." The male drawled out, he stood in front of his window, droplets of rain, rolling down it. He balanced his phone on shoulder and held it secure with his ear. He put on a long black trench coat, it was thick and woolly, perfect for day like today.

"You think everything I suggest is stupid, don't you?" He said, he ran his slender fingers through his blond hair, brushing it so it was spiking up, he used his reflection in the window for guidance. He rolled his baby blue eyes when the person on the other end gave him reasons as to why everything he recommended was idiotic, he moved his phone so it was placed in his hand.

"Alright, alright. I don't need you to lecture me anymore, if you continue to do so I'm going to be late for work." He sighed when Lukas started to blame him for calling.

"Sorry, sorry. We'll continue this conversation later. Vi ses." Mathias shut his phone close, ending the long call, he shoved his phone into his coat pocket. He flicked his wrist so he could see the time on his silver and black wrist watch. He had a few minutes to spare, he went over his appearance one last time before deciding it was time to leave. He closed his apartment door and locked it. The elevator ride was somewhat long and boring, the typical elevator music was playing, he nodded his hand along with the beat. Once he stepped out of his apartment building, he took a breath of the fresh air, the smell of the rain was calming and refreshing. He continued his way towards his office building, which was only a few blocks away, he stopped at the crossing, waiting a few minutes, he checked his watch, it was a few minutes past eight, he was going to be a little late. His boss was not going to like that, his boss was always up his ass when it came to things like this. He look left and right, there were no vehicles coming maybe he could make a run for it. He took his chance. Mathias stepped a few metres onto the road.

A blaring honk from a truck came into earshot. The Dane swore time slowed down as he turned his head to the right, a giant delivery truck was coming full speed at him. This was it, this was the end. He was going to die from being hit by a truck. Suddenly he felt a tug on his coat collar, he stumbled backwards before falling down onto the pathway. He stared at the truck which almost hit him, drive away, he heard the chattering of people behind him. He snapped out his dazed state and spun around maybe to see who saved his life. He only saw stares from people crowding around him, he got a few questions, asking if he was okay, he dismissed them and continued to look around. The crossing sign turned green, giving permission to cross. People pushed past him to cross, he still looked around as if he was lost and forgot where everything was.

"Fuck.." He cussed and put his hand to his temple, massaging it softly. A strong headache came on, he assumed from the shock of almost being hit.

"Mathias.. Are you okay? You've been out of it all day." One of his co-workers asked. The Dane snapped out of his daydream, he looked up at Eduard.

"Hello? Earth to Mathias?" The sandy blond said waving his hand across Mathias's face.

"Hm? Yeah.. I'm.. I'm fine, Edward." He replied.

"Well.. Okay, and it's Eduard..."

They were still there.

He got completely lost in thought, he took a slow sip of coffee, glancing at the top of Eduard's head. The numbers ticking down, were still there. 21 years, 20 days, 5 months, 10 hours, 25 minutes and 50 seconds. What did they all mean? He didn't understand. Mathias completely freaked out when he first saw them, it was after he woke from a nap at his desk. His co-workers were walking around, with clocks above their heads. Most of the time the Dane walked up to them and tried swiping the numbers away, alas it did nothing, all it did was make the numbers phase out and then reappear. He thought he was beginning to lose his mind, he hadn't a idea what was going on.
