Chapter 1
Meeting
He wants open his eyes but he can't. He feels like he's dreaming. Fading away. He doesn't know anymore. All he can is do is feel. He felt something cold. It was colder than ice. It was slowly crawling under his skin. Then, he was struck by it. Loneliness. He can feel it. Loneliness that he never ever knew. It was piercing his soul. He can't breathe and he choked down a sob. He want to shout 'help', but he can't. Finally, he was submitting to the feeling of nothingness inside him. But then, something warm touched his hands. Like it was pulling him out of his misery. It was so comforting, like home. He never felt this overwhelming sense of coming home but this warmth is. Then the warmth was spread into his chest until it engulfed his entire body. He never want to let this feeling go, so he hold onto it. Then, it was slowly fading. Bit by bit, it grew faint. He panicked. He reached out to whatever it is but he was met with nothing.
"NO!" Nico shouted. He was startled awake by his loud voice. Apart from that he saw his hand outstretched in front of him. Nico flexed his hand, it felt like he was reaching for something but he didn't know what. He wondered why. He took a deep breathe to calm himself down and sagged back to the tree behind him where he was resting. Sleeping under the tree was not part of his plan. Honestly, he was just resting his tired feet from walking and never thought of sleeping but his body actually needed it. Nico opened his eyes and watched the skies above him.
The sun is glaring majestically above the earth indicating the it was the peak of summer in the City of Cycas in the realm of Rothmale where he currently is. The skies is never ending blue and the afternoon clouds are so high and untouchable. Nico scowled at the sun. He was not accustomed to a very bright city but he was glad that the tall big tree hid him from the heat of the afternoon sun.
He was still enjoying watching the afternoon sky when a twig was snapped behind him. Nico was quick to drew his sword and point it towards the source of the noise. The tip of his sword was almost touched the man's throat. The man gestured his hands in surrender.
"I meant no harm. I promise." The man gasped. Nico narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the man in front of him without retracting his sword. The man was wearing a blue shirt and brown short. He was carrying a small bag. His eyes were the bluest that he ever seen, like a clear summer sky. He had a curly mop of blonde hair with a sun kissed skin. Okay, he's gorgeous but that doesn't mean this guy is a threat. Nico glared at the man and slowly lowered down his sword. Blonde head visibly relaxed as Nico was out of the aggressive stance.
"Man, that was so close!" the man exhaled heavily.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Nico demanded at him.
Blonde head smiled brightly at him that makes Nico cringed. "My name is Will. Will Solace. I saw you were sitting here and I just wanted to asked you a question. Oh! and you are?"
"Leaving." Nico scooped his belongings and started to marched away from the cheery blonde. 'Will' his mind supplied.
"Wait!" Will shouted behind him and shuffled next to him. "You don't have to walk so fast, I just want to ask you a question and you were the only one in sight" He made a pleading face at Nico.
"What?" Nico stopped walking as he snarled at Will.
"I'm actually lost." Will said sheepishly. Nico raised his brow at him. "Can you tell me where we are?" Nico sighed and started to walk again. "We're in the kingdom of Rothmale. Those gates were the entrance to the City of Cycas." He pointed the gates where the vines almost ate up the fences. "Now. Get lost." Nico made a shooing gesture to Will and then his traitorous stomach rumbled angrily.
"Hungry, aren't we?" Will smirked at him and Nico flushed.
"None of your business." Nico snarled at the blonde. He stride away quickly but Will's hand caught his wrist. He shivered at the contact and doesn't know why. Nico glared at Will while shoving his hand. "I have an apple. See?" Will offered him a red apple.
Nico stared at the apple then back at Will. "No, thank you." But his stomach grumbled again.
"Come on! You're clearly hungry, your stomach send you a multiple signals already." Will flashed him a kicked puppy eyes. Damn this stomach and damn those puppy eyes! Honestly, he really wanted to eat the apple.
Nico run out of food supplies in his travels and he doesn't have any money left. He really needed to do something to earn just a little bit of money. That is why Nico chose the road to Rothmale because he knows that he can work a little bit here and obtain money. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to accept this apple.
Nico grabbed the apple quickly and mumbled a 'thank you' to Will. He began to eat the apple as they resume to walk towards the gates of Cycas. Will was clearly pleased to see him eat the apple which was a little suspicious. Nico noticed Will was still sauntered beside him.
"Why are you still following me? I answered your question." Nico asked him.
"You did not give me your name yet." Will answered him with a wide smile.
Nico rolled his eyes at Will. "Nope. You will not get my name over an apple." He smirked at Will.
"Then, I'll stick with you until you'll give me your name." Will said it with confidence.
Nico's eyes widen at this."What? Seriously?"
"Yes. So, where you goin'?" Will questioned. Nico sighed. "Is it obvious? I'm going to Cycas."
"What are going to do at Cycas?" Will questioned again. Nico did not answered him. "Can you please tell me why are you going to Cycas? Come on! I gave you my apple. Aren't you obligated to answer my questions?" Will pouted at him. Why this blonde being friendly with him?
"Is this about the apple? Don't worry. I'll pay you back as soon as I can find a job at the city." Nico snapped at him.
"No! I'm sorry!" Will looked mortified. "I'm sorry. I just want a company for a while. Maybe I can join you finding for a job?" He said hopefully.
Nico stared at him. He doesn't know why, but he liked some company for the time being. Will is not a bad choice. He sighed. "Fine, you can accompany me but you can't know my name, though."
Will's smile was blinding. "Okay. I'll earn it. So, can I call you by nicknames? Nico just shrugged. "Okay. sunshine?" Will grinned at him.
"No way! You will not call me that!"
"Brooding boy?"
"Not that either!"
"Pale face?"
"Okay, you're making fun of me."
"No! You're seriously pale." Will grabbed his hand which Nico promptly shoved away. "And your hands are cold like death. Ah! I'll call you death boy!"
"No! Don't call me that." Nico made a face at Will.
"Nope. That's your name until you gave me your name." Will grinned at him.
"I'll never give you my name." Nico muttered.
"What?" Nico was grateful that the blondel never heard him. "Nothing." he rolled his eyes at Will.
"Come on! We gonna find a job at the city!." It's blinding. Will's smile is blinding like the sun. Nico's lips were drawn into a thin line.
