The first time they met was on a night that Luke couldn't sleep. Nightmares plagued his dreams, often about his friends and mother abandoning him and the Bane creatures coming back for him. Sometimes the day he woke up would be re-enacted, but... changed into something more different. More twisted. More... unhappy for the Archetype. Luke shuddered at the thought, getting out of bed. Quietly, he snuck out of his room and headed downstairs. After the years living there, he knew exactly where each squeaky floorboard was and made it safely to the door. Luke headed outside and shut the door quietly. He headed round to the back. Rubbing his arms, Luke silently looked up at the sky. The nightmares weren't the only things bothering him.

He had noticed many students paired together. As in, lovey dovey couples. They were everywhere, holding each other, giving their affection to one another and showing off their love to the world.

Luke wondered what that felt like.

Oh, he did. But who would ever love someone like him? A geeky human boy who wasn't created like normal humans. Luke was teased often for his smarts, which had confused him at first. What was wrong with him being intelligent? Apparently, knowing stuff that could get you through life made you lame. And it was the thing making love impossible for him to find. No one was interested in him lest they want to become unpopular.

Luke remembered something Rani had done before and wondered if it worked.

"I wish I may, I wish I might please find love on this starry night."

Luke raised his eyebrow at what Rani muttered. Her hands were clasped together and her eyes were shut.

"What are you doing?" He asked curiously. Rani turned to him and smiled.

"I was just wishing. My mother told me about that little rhyme you just heard. It may sound silly, but it keeps my hopes up. Reminds me that there is someone out there waiting for me. There is someone who is meant to be with me someday." Rani sighed, looking up at the sky. "And I know we will cross paths one day."

It was worth a try, seeming as how low Luke was feeling. He shut his eyes and thought about the rhyme.

"I wish I may, I wish I might please find love on this starry night." He whispered quietly. Rani was right. It did bring his hopes up high. He smiled softly and opened his eyes before jumping back in slight shock when his eyes met with a pair of equally blue ones. A pale teenage boy, a bit older than himself, stared at him curiously, tilting his head before taking a step back in shock when Luke stared back. They stood there in silence until Luke decided to break it."Um, hello."

"Uh, hey..." The stranger trailed off. "I, uh, I'm sorry for intruding, I just saw you out here on your own and wanted to see if you were all right."

"I'm fine." Luke answered. The boy's eyes were shining in the moonlight, catching Luke's attention the most before his pale skin which contrasted with his dark hair and clothing. "Should you be out so late?"

"Should you?" The stranger smirked, making Luke laugh slightly.

"Okay, you got me there. I'm Luke." Luke held out his hand for him to shake. He did so with a smile.

"Vladimir. Just call me Vlad, though."

"Nice to meet you, Vlad. I should probably head back in before my mum wakes up and worries when she can't find me." The brown-haired male chuckled. Vlad nodded.

"All right. I'll see you around, Luke." Luke turned away and walked out of the back and towards the door. Just as he reached it, he realised something.

"How did he see me from the back yard?" He thought curiously.
