I own nothing. Just random slash. No real reason. Thought it was cute. Review and enjoy.
"Wyatt," Nym said surprised, "What are you doing here?"
I had just walked into Nym's father's bookstore a few moments before. Nym was sitting behind the counter fiddling with a pen with a bored look on his face. It had taken awhile for him to notice me.
Today he had on a pair was brown trousers and a white flowing top. I had to admit he looked good. Not that I thought it was ever possible for the man to look anything but good.
"You said not to wait to see you," I said shrugging, "So I didn't wait."
"I did," Nym said nodding.
Smirking at the younger man I sat on a stool in front of the counter and waited. I didn't really know what was I was supposed to say or do for that matter. I was just glad I was around Nym again.
Nym gave me a smile back before leaning back slightly. My eyes raked over his body until they landed on his necklaces. One was of Cherry Blossoms that wrapped fully around his neck while the other was the orb.
I stared closely at the orb knowing that I knew it. From the moment I saw that orb I knew that I knew it. I knew that it was important. Exactly why I wasn't sure about yet, but I was going to find out.
"Wyatt?" Nym asked confused.
"Sorry," I said shaking my head, "I just…I know I know that necklace."
Nym's eyes widened at that as his hand gripped the necklace tightly. I don't know how it was possible, but the man that I had been talking to was gone. Instead he looked like a fearful child.
What was it about that necklace that made him react so violently? I mean, it was just a necklace wasn't it? Or did it have something to do with whatever Nym actually was?
"Nym," I said softly.
"What are you?" Nym asked stepping away from him.
I opened my mouth to ask what he meant when I saw a small tornado being conjured into the gingers hand. Okay, he obviously knew how to handle himself and didn't know who I was.
Holding my hands up I hoped that he would see that I wasn't going to hurt him. I knew that he couldn't be evil. If he was he would have tried to hurt me a long time ago. No, he was just afraid.
"I'm Wyatt Halliwell," I said in a, hopefully, soothing voice.
"Halliwell?" Nym asked the tornado calming, but not leaving.
"Yes. You know me. At least you know about my family. You know we're good. You know I'm not going to hurt you."
Nym continued to stare at me before the tornado went away completely. Letting out the breath I didn't know I was holding I couldn't help but smile. At least I knew that he was magical.
What exactly was he though? It was possible that he could just be a witch, but for some reason I couldn't help but think that was wrong. No, there was something special about Nym.
"So you know about me," I said cautiously taking a step forward, "Your turn."
Biting his lower lip Nym turned around in a circle a few times. He might know who I was now, but he still didn't trust me. Either he was overly cautious or something had happened in the past.
"I'm a witch," Nym said softly, "And a Wood Nymph."
Everything seemed to fall into place when he said that. The necklace, his name, the way he disappeared in the woods before, and the free spirit his mother was. She was a Wood Nymph while he was half.
Even as I thought this though I realized that I wouldn't have to hide. He knew exactly what I was. And I wouldn't have to worry about him when demons attacked. At least no more then usual.
"Nym," I said smiling, "Would you like to go out with me? On a date?"
Nym continued to stare at me before a smile came to his lips as well. I expected him to say yes, but instead he just stepped forward until we were toe to toe. Once we were Nym threaded his hand through my hair and pulled me down.
Feeling his lips against mine once again I wrapped my arm around his waist and pulled him closer to me. The kiss didn't last long and soon Nym and I were separated once again.
"Okay," Nym said nodding, "When?"
"When do you get off?" I asked calmly.
"Now," a new voice said causing Nym and I to jump.
Spinning around I saw a man in his late thirties leaning against the front door. Like Nym he had red hair and his eyes matched the blue one. Other then that they looked nothing alike.
"Dad," Nym said letting out a soft sigh, "Wyatt, this is my Dad, Arthur Black. Dad, this is my friend, Wyatt Halliwell."
"Halliwell," Arthur said shaking my hand, "Well, at least I know my son's in good hands. You two can leave now if you'd like, but you have to be home before nine."
"Got it, Dad. Wyatt, what do you say? Want that date now?"
Nodding my head I offered Nym my hand and felt a warmth fill me when he took it. I really could get used to this feeling. It was so addictive. No, I never wanted to lose the feelings Nym gave me.
As we left the bookstore I wondered exactly where I was going to take him before I realized that I knew the perfect place. At least it would be if Nym liked sushi as much as I did.
The walk to the restaurant was quiet, but it didn't seem awkward. It felt like something we had done before. I loved just how easy all of this came for us. It was… Perfect.
"I hope you like sushi," I said opening the door for him.
"I do," Nym said nodding his head.
It wasn't long before we were sitting at a table with menu's in front of us. I was finding it hard to focus on the words though. Since I had given Nym my hand at the bookstore he hadn't let it go.
I don't know why it was affecting me all that much, but my heart was beating faster then normal and I didn't want it to stop. Sadly, that's exactly what would happen when we separated.
"Wyatt," Nym said squeezing my hand gently, "Are you alright?"
"Just don't want this to end," I said softly.
"This hasn't even begun to begin. I like to think that you're going to be stuck with me for awhile."
"I can't wait."
Nym smiled happily at me before turning to the waiter and ordering his food. I couldn't help but smile back. It was like he knew exactly what to say. It was so perfect that I was a little worried it was too good to be true.
Even as I thought that I knew that I was going to be risking everything with anyone I tried to date. At least with Nym he knew what I was and could fight for himself if he needed to.
That was one thing that I had worried about when I realized that one day I'd be dating. I didn't want them to get hurt by one of the demons that were constantly coming after me and my family.
No, Nym was a witch and a Nymph. He would easily be able to fight or at least be able to run. Though now that I thought about it I didn't actually know what his powers were yet.
"Half witch, half Nymph," I said after our food came, "What powers come with that?"
"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," Nym said smiling.
"Deal."
Nym smirked slightly at me before placing a piece of sushi in his mouth. He continued to eat like it was nothing. He was the first person that didn't think too much about his powers and sharing them.
I didn't know whether or not I liked that. I knew that if he didn't hide it carefully then he was going to be in a lot of trouble if he ever got caught. Maybe it had been different for him.
"Atmokinesis and Catoptromancy on the witch side," Nym said lowering his voice, "And the normal powers on the Nymph side. Nature Enhancement, Flight, Fading, Power Granting, Water Teleportation, Sensing, and Immortality."
"I need to study more," I said shaking my head, "I have no idea what the first two were."
"Atmokinesis is the ability to control and manipulate the meteorological conditions. Catoptromancy is the ability to spy on people and places or retrieve information by using mirrors."
Nodding my head a few times I realized just how much I had yet to learn. I couldn't make potions or write spells all that well. I didn't even know the different types of powers.
The more I thought the more I started to realize that I needed to do what Aunt Paige did. I needed to learn. I mean, I was the 'most power witch ever born'. It would help if I knew what I was doing.
"Wyatt," Nym said snapping his fingers.
"Are you good at making potions?" I asked smiling.
"Of course. Why?"
