Brice's POV

3 years old

I looked at the yellow stick with a slightly sharp, black point on one end and a red eraser on the other. I held it between my fingers securely. I glanced at the blank paper.

"Go on Brice", my mother encourages me.

I hesitantly press the pointed part on the piece of paper. I started to make strokes, feeling something to keep going. I did as told, making a person's head and face.

It took me a few minutes until I was done. I looked down at the image I've made. It was the first drawing I've ever made. It was a boy with a smile.

I showed my mother and she smiled happily as she complimented the drawing. I was really happy with it. I looked back at the picture.

I wonder why this magnetic feeling tingle me when I was drawing him.

6 years old.

I took out a pad of paper from the drawer that my mother had bought me yesterday. I quickly grabbed a pencil from the table and sat on the chair with the pad in front of me.

Thoughts of what I should make round up my head. The image of the boy I first drew came to my head. Deciding to redraw him, I think putting a cloak over him would be better and cooler.

I slowly made lines and curves on the paper. It began to take shape. It was the same boy from before; he had a hood this time though. The sketch has improved since I first drew him.

I finished after a few minutes. I was grinning at it the whole time. I kept it since I'm really proud of my work, and it felt like I needed to keep it.

I wonder why I drew him at the first place.

9 years old. (This part is going to be really long)

I sighed in content as I look at me sketchbook. There were many doodles and sketches I've made for the past year. Looking at my past drawings from then and now makes me realize how I've progressed through time.

I looked over at the people I'm sitting with at Lunch. Their all great friends, though, they call themselves team crafted.

There's Adam Sky Craft (Idfk). He has dark brown hair with a small ponytail held with a yellow band. A pair of sunglasses that are over his brown with tinted yellow eyes. A black and grey shirt witch had small white designs. Black and grey jeans, that goes with his shirt. And his well-known amulet that hangs on his neck. Popular for being the heir of the Sky army (I miss being a recruit ;-;), because his dad is the head-leader and founder of it. We call him Sky sometimes too.

Next to Adam is Ty Deadlox. His hairstyle is his brown hair covering his right eye. Both of his eyes are definitely red as I've learned. He wears a white V neck with black on his collar, hem and sleeve ends. Grey jeans. Black shoes with purple. And the black head phones with glowing green circles on the sides that he always wears. Quite popular too, his father leads the Dead army and best friends with Adam.

At the other side of Adam is Jason True M.U. -Which meant 'Minecraft Universe' by the way-. He either wears a spaceman suit or a casual look. Right now, he's wearing his casual one. He wore a white shirt. Over the shirt is his blue jacket with some yellow. It has the yellow initials 'MU' on the right side of his jacket. It also had a darker-colored blue star on the left sleeve. Dark blue jeans and light blue sneakers with yellow stars on the sides. He has a passion for space. Pretty known, since he is also best friends with Ty and Adam.

Beside Jason is Mitchell Benja Canadian Hughes, mostly called Mitch and sometimes ‘BajanCanadian’. He has his usual light brown, blondish hair up like a small quiff, with his hazel brown eyes. The black and red checker hoodie he always wears. Under it is a white shirt. Some slate grey jeans. A pair of red converse shoes on his feet. And lastly his dog tag that's always on his neck. He's the guy who is best in both melee and accuracy, and has good looks that all the girls' crush over.

Alongside of Mitch is his best friend, Jerome ASF Aceti. He's a bacca hybrid. Meaning he can turn to a bacca which has brown fur, canines and claws can be really sharp if he gets mad. Though, in human form he has his ears and tail poking out, and slightly pointed teeth like a vampire's that can be seen even if he's mouth is closed, which is right now. He has dark brown eyes. He's wearing a nice, black suit with a red tie. And some black shoes. He's a skilled axe man, trained in a young age. Some girls consider him 'hot'.

From the opposite side from them is Ian Ssundee. He has brown hair and an already growing beard. He has a pair of shades that are identical to Adam's. He's wearing a black jacket, with a blue undershirt. Black pants and shoes that goes with his jacket. He can make his black with bits of light blue eyes go in separate ways and make him look really derpy; he can even make it better with a matching voice. He also really likes cake for some reason, making him pretty good in baking. He's also one of the funniest guys in the school.

Lastly, the guy next to Ian is Quentin Husky Mudkipz. Just by looking at his name, you can tell he's related to a Pokémon. He's an amphibian, meaning he can breathe underwater and also do some Pokémon attacks of a mudkip. He also wears a suit like Jerome's, but it's a light grey color with a red tie, followed by some black shoes. He gets annoyed when someone calls him 'fish'. He's parents are also both doctors, seeing that he's good at healing and medicine.

I looked back down on my sketchbook, trying to think of something to draw in my spare time. I perk up as I think of the boy with the hood for the 3rd time today. I started to make a base of his head. That's when I get startled by someone calling my name out. "Brice!" I hear Adam's voice. I shot my head up at him. "Yeah, what is it?" I reply.

"What are doing there with your sketchbook?" He asks, pointing at my sketchbook. "Oh, trying to think of something to draw." I answer him. He then stands up from his seat and walks over to me. "Can I see?" He asks. I nod my head at him. Adam has been pretty curious with my drawings since I met him.

I resumed on drawing the boy placing on his eyes that is looking straight as if it was looking at a camera, nose and slightly open mouth. His bangs are just above his eyes. I placed a crown on him and a hood over it, connecting it together with a gem in the middle. I made a bit of shading to improve his features. The rest of the guys decided to get up from their sits to watch me, seeming to be amused at my careful strokes on the paper. I finished it off with my signature next to the drawing.

They all looked over it. "Geez Brice! Never knew you were this good in drawing!" Ian says who amazed at the image I've made. "Yeah, I won't be even able to be close to your drawing skills in a million years!" Jerome adds in.

"Of course, drawing stickmen aren't getting you anywhere near Brice's, Jerome, nor is your coloring skills either." Mitch teases his best friend. The bacca rolls his eyes before playfully punching him on the arm. I chuckle softly at them as I move my eyes back down on the drawing.

I can't really lie; I feel a bond with him.

12 years old.

High school is going pretty good for me. I have good grades. I'm the best in my advance art class. I have a nice group of friends with me. I get to also skip classes sometimes when I have to do something for a school program. The only thing I really didn't like is getting pulled by random girls I barely even know.

At least I'm not the only one in my group of friends. All the members of team crafted are too. I'm just glad I'm not the only one getting suffocated and get crowded by some desperate chicks every single day.

I was currently in my advance art classes. We were asked to draw some kind of character you have to make up that's part or looks part human, with an ability or what your character can do.

The first thought in my mind was... him, the boy that I keep drawing about. I mean, I can give it a shot; I've only shown team crafted about him. He'll be a good one to draw for this one anyways, so why not?

I first make the base with light sketches while thinking of what his whole body would look like. I got the idea of making him a sorcerer; Making one of his arms up on shoulder level and hand open, as if he was casting a spell. I made it more obvious by placing a flame on it.

I think of the rest his clothes while drawing his hood, crown, hair, the gem and his other facial features. I place some shoulder pads on him. I also started to draw a long-sleeved shirt on him with a creeper face on the centre, from my love of a video game called Minecraft. I gave him a pair jeans and black shoes; A silver-looking belt with red fabric around his waist. I then suddenly made a change to his hood, making a cloak instead by just adding a cape connected to the gem.

I finished it all off with lighting and shading. I don't mind using colors for it, since it was not needed and it would take my brain longer to think, making my work take longer.

I finished it with a slight misty effect on the flame and his eyes. I signed my signature on the bottom and it was just in time before Mrs. Kiran went over to me and asked "What's your creation Brice? I would love to see what you've made this time."

I smiled at my lovely teacher and handed her the newly made sketch. She took it and was already fascinated by the drawn photo I have made. Compliments left her mouth with every detail taken.

"Oh my, your works have seemed to truly amaze me every time Brice! Your character is in a lovely mix of simple, yet magical. He seems to be like normal human being, but with magic up his sleeve. The designs are unique and matching. The shading and lighting greatly blends in with each other. Well done, Solace, you have never ceased to fascinate me." She gave me a warming smile while giving me back my paper and I returned it.

"Why thank you Mrs. Kiran, I'm actually really proud about this one." I chuckled to myself, taking a look at my fresh sketch.

"I wonder where you always get these ideas, Brice." She tells. I smiled to myself, "Like a magician, an artist will never reveal their secrets." (A/N: Very true) I replied. She laughs and gives me a nod as a sign of respect.

"I do have a question about your character though," She says. I gave a hum as a response.

"What's his name?"

I froze a bit at the question, his name? What would be his name? I was thinking when a random name came out of my mouth, as if I planned his name already. "Seto," I answered sounding unfazed.

"Seto, Well, what a fitting name for him." She grins down at me and the paper.

I thought for a bit before going with it. It surely does fit him, that's true. I looked down on the piece of paper and my eyes brightened, the name was perfect. "Yeah, Seto," I smile crept on my face.

"Seto Sorcerer."

It's perfect.

15 years old.

I rolled my eyes as the annoying girl beside me can't seem to stop her yapping. I was having a peaceful time getting to my favorite place on my free time with me carrying my sketch book, when a she suddenly came out of nowhere and won't live me alone, not one bit. I've already told her to leave countless of times, but she doesn't want to budge.

Why do females have to be so complicated, especially this one?! (OI, we have standards. Be careful what you say, Brice.)

Luckily, I came by Adam and Ty in the hallway. They were about to greet me when they saw my face of 'Please-help-me' and pain, gesturing to the still talking girl.

They both somehow saved me by Adam pulling me to safety, far away from her, while Ty pushed her out. Ty just kept on literally pushing her and saying, "Leave", "Good-bye", "Your annoying", "He's not you type anyways" and "He doesn't like you.". The girl wanted to be more of a brat and protested against Ty. In the end, Ty was able to win by threatening her and giving the death stare, that everyone knew not to underestimate with, making her run away out of fear.

I sighed in relief as she disappeared, "Thanks guys" I tell them. "It's no problem. Though, thank Ty more who really saved your ass." Adam says motioning to his boyfriend. Did I forget that they're dating? I smiled at the shorter and he returned it.

I was about to leave when Adam stopped me with a question, "Hey, isn't your art class period by this time?" he looks at me. I look back at him, "Yeah, but I've done everything in it already so it's my free time." I tell them. They both nod, "Well, we'll see you later at lunch then!" Adam says. I smile and wave a 'bye' to them as I walked down the hallway.

I went on to go to the nearby forest that's just behind the school's field where gym classes are starting up there and I know that Jason, Jerome and Mitch are right now. I glanced at them, they were lined up, must be track time for them.

I sat down then grab my pencil and coloring pencils when I was met by a certain bacca. "Hey Solace!" I hear. I shot my head up and gave a small wave at him. "Hey ther sexay!" I say my weird quote that I only say to my friends.

"Who called my man sexy?!" A Canadian voice rang through my ears. I see Mitch jogged beside his boyfriend. Oh, yes, the two are also dating. Jerome and I started laughing at the fake jealousy that Mitch gave. "Oh it's nothing biggums." Jerome says as he pecks his cheek making him smile like a little kid.

Jason then comes over to the three of us, "Hey Merome!" he uses the ship name of the two. He then looks at me and grins, me returning it "And Brice." "It's your free time?" I nod at him.

He then looks back at the two who were starting to have a make out session. "Alright you love birds. Stop it before coach screams at us" He tells the two, his eyes rolling.

They pull away and stare at Jason "But its true love Jason!" Mitch says over-dramatically.

He shook his head "Love can go on later, Mitch." The Canadian pouted at this, not happy that he can't show affection to the American next to him.

"Aw, Mitch we can go on a date tonight after school." Jerome coos, making Mitch relax and glance up at him. "Where are we going?" He asks, the idea interesting him. "To your favorite ice cream shop maybe?" he suggests.

Mitch brightened up "The chocolate swirl with rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips?" Jerome chuckled, "What my Mitchy wants my Mitchy gets." Mitch then squealed, kissing his lips quickly. There so cute! Honestly I envy them for being an adorable couple.

"Stop with the cuteness you two and get going" He says, smiling a bit at the couple. "If you're talking about cute it would be you and Tyler Brotato." Jerome snorts, raising an eyebrow at him. The space man blushes at his not-so-secret crush's name. "H-Hey, that was not uncalled for!" He yells at them.

Jerome laughs "Really? You keep talking about him 24/7. On how soft his brown hair is. How you love hearing him when he talks about his favorite books and games. Or how you think it's cute on how nerdy he is." Jason wanted to protest, but no words left his mouth.

"He's right you know." I speak up suddenly. "Don't get into this Solace." He sent daggers at me. I chuckled to myself as I went back to my sketchbook, still hearing their conversation.

"Can you help me with my textbooks, Jay-Jay?" Mitch taunts with a mocking tone of what Tyler calls Jason sometimes. "Why of course, Tully, want a drink too after all that work?" Jerome responds who mimicking what Jason would call Tyler. (I have no idea what to nickname them. I cringed too.)

Jason starts to get even redder, both from being flustered and mad. The couple soon start running in the track field, Jason following behind to chase after them. "Get back here you ignorant beings!" I hear Jason scream at them and I shook my head.

I sighed in happiness once the quiet breeze is all I could here now. Flipping through some pages of my many previous sketches, one catches my eye of the sorcerer's drawing with the lack of color.

I smiled to myself, picking up the coloring pencils I brought with me. Maybe it's time to add a bit of life in the character. Color schemes and ideas were sent to me. But it seemed like my hands already picked out the pencils of what I should fill in for him. The desired were the different shades of purple, red, grey, white, warm beige and brown.

Starting out with his clothes, I did the hood the first. Picking out the grey pencil, I start making strokes on it, slowly filling it up with the said color. I moved the same drawing material to his shirt and pants.

After that, I took the purple using it on the edges of the hood that's not colored, the designs of the shirt and his cape.

I then used the white one the crown some parts of his clothes, belt and shoulder pads.

Next I brought the red to fill the spaces of the creeper and fabric that was above the belt.

I took the brown out, spreading it to his hair and eyes, making the finally have life and meaning.

I lastly used the warm beige for his skin color.

It was then time for shading, using the same colors I have picked out I took out the ones with the different shades for lighting and shading.

It took me a while to finish, but it was worth it once I saw the result. He looked much more alive and vibrant than before. His eyes were warm and comforting that went with his soft looking hair. His clothing went well with what I have chosen that complimented each other. The shading and lighting were perfect.

If I had to be honest, I would like to date someone looking like him. Yes I am gay, just like all my other friends are. The whole school knows about our sexuality, but gave no difference to how people think about us besides from what gender we like.

You might say that dating someone who does not exist and only in picture is crazy to say. But I have heard about people crushing on fictional characters, actors and singers who are most possible illegally younger or older than you, and people also 'shipping' two characters of any gender together either real or fictional. So you cannot tell me I'm weird. But I have to say,

He is quite cute.

18 years old.

Looking at the unreal, but adorable person of a sketch made me think on why I've been drawing him. Ever since I was able to lift a pencil with my bare hands, I've drawn and colored him until to this day. As an artist, you would have a reason why you would, but I don't.

I've grown fond with drawing and showing him in a piece of paper. You could say like a crush. It sounds dumb, I know, but I can't help myself. Since I've develop 'feelings' for the boy. I decided on giving him the traits and personality on what type I like.

Personally, I like the shy, quiet and smart type. I've drawn him reading a book or something, so I guess a bookworm too and because he's a sorcerer. I also like to think he can be serious, yet sensitive and easily flustered too. I think it's cute to think of him to be quite childish.

A sigh left my lips, forming a smi0le right after. It would be nice to have a significant other like him. All my other friends have theirs, Adam and Ty, Jerome and Mitch, Jason and Tyler, Quentin and Ian. (I can't pick between Huskdee and Crundee.) It feels weird to be the third wheel in their relationships, but I would do fine.

The only thing I think is annoying is to have your friends tell you to go out and meet strangers that they think would be my partner, especially when they do so when you trying to work. Don't get me wrong, it's nice of them of trying to find me someone I would like to be with for forever. I just prefer on finding 'the one' when I feel it.

They would ask on what type I like, and I respond on what I made Seto be. I just like him in that way, both personality and looks. I thought if he was real, which is a big doubt, but I can dream on doing everything for him.

Letting out a loud sigh, I place down the slim paper on the desk filled with many more sketches and art materials that I never seem to bother cleaning up, since it would be the same again at the end of the day.

I'm going to meet team crafted for dinner, since its Friday night. It's the day we would meet up all together to a restaurant we would agree in, talk about on what we're up to and maybe go out for movies or the arcade.

I've been a bit off lately. Seeming to doze off and get more distracted then I usually be. The image of Seto being in my mind more frequent than before was mostly the reason why.

My friends would question it sometimes, but they would just think it's because how I got busy with art requests and works that I also get less sleep now. Well, it is part truth, so I went with it. They know I could handle myself with events like these, so no need to have them worry about me.

One question kept bugging me since.

Do I love him?

21 years old.

Walking down a small pathway that lead through the forest was now a usual thing for me. Either when I have art block or just to relax, I go here. It's relaxing and peaceful; it was great for letting out stress too. I brought my sketchbook, a few pencils and another few things in a sling bag, you know, just in case.

I then suddenly hear a shriek and a loud thud. Hearing like someone fell. My instincts were to run to the sound it came from and I did so. Running pass trees, the air swooping by my gravity-defying hair and making sure I didn't let anything fall off my bag.

I stopped my tracks by a clearing. A boy wearing a purple hood was sitting up, his back facing me. He groaned in pain as he rubbed his head. I raised an eyebrow as I looked at the boy. "W-Where am I?" I hear him.

I see him look around, seeming to be confused at his surroundings. "Um... Hello?" I speak up, getting his attention. He flinched and looked behind him, his eyes landing on me. My eyes go wide and a breath was trapped in my throat.

I seem to stiffen a little at the look at his face. He looks just like the character I've been making since, Seto Sorcerer. His hair was the same brown, clothes purple, grey, white and red, skin looking fragile and warming brown eyes. My heart suddenly skipped a beat once I fell in those eyes.

I went back to reality as I see him panic. "W-Who are you?!" He screams, trying to sound threatening, but I can tell he's scared. My eyes softened at him, "Hey, hey. Calm down. I won't hurt you." I say reassuringly at him. His eyes had a bit of doubt at him, but he nodded.

I take small steps to him, trying not to be intimidating to him. He shifts a bit, but I hear him wince. Hurrying to his side, I see a gash on his left leg, through the cloth. It was red and bleeding, must've happened when he fell.

Looking through my bag, I took a clean cloth and a wrapping bandage. I gently took his harmed leg, him not stopping me. I cleaned the wound with cloth. Wrapping the bandage around it right after.

I smiled as his breathing slowed. He looked up at me, looking so innocent. It honestly made my heart pound against my chest, ready to burst. He sent a small smile to me. "May I know the man who helped me?" He ask, voice now soft and welcoming.

"I'm Brice Solace, but call me Brice." I tell him. He nods, "I'm Seto." He responds. The name struck me, just like the drawing. I look at him. If this Seto is the same as what I've been drawing then I must know almost everything about him.

"Are you and is your last name sorcerer?" I say. He looks surprised, "H-How do you know?" he looks at me with fear again. I panic, not wanting to scare him "Hey, it's okay; I'm not a spy or something." I tell him.

"It's far from that." I rubbed the back of my neck. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow. I explain to him on how I drew him and 'made' him. After that, he doesn't seem fazed. A smile was tugging on his lips.

"So... you've been drawing me since you were three? Is that right?" He says, trying to get the term right from me, and I shake my head 'yes'. "That's crazy... and actually really cool!" he says, giggling a bit. I smiled to myself, he seems okay with it. "But, why?" he tilts his head. I shrugged, "I really don't know why." He smiles again "Maybe soon we'll know."

I nod before questioning him now, "Where did you come from?" He hums, "I was living in my lonely tower, when a hunter tried to kill me for a prize. I was able to escape with a teleportation spell... now I'm here. I don't know where I am, so I must be far from my home." He answers, sounding a bit sad.

"Do you want to come with me?" I suggest, I do have a spare bedroom and I do live alone. He brightens up a bit "Would you let me?" I chuckled "Of course!" He stops and thinks about it. "It is kind of lonely back at my place and I really don't know where it is," He glances back at me with a gentle smile "Why not?"

Happiness went up my spine, but my eyes went down to his treated leg, "Can you walk Seto?" He looks down and tries to get up, me helping him up as a support. He suddenly squeaks and makes a sound of pain, almost toppling over if it wasn't for me catching him before he does.

An idea popped in my head, "Here, I'll carry you." I picked him up, bridal style before he could say anything. He squeaks in surprise, quickly wrapping his arms around my neck. "Ah! W-What— B-Brice, No n-need to carry me!" he yells, cheeks red, he's... blushing?

I shook it off as I grinned at him "I insist. It will be much faster. Plus, you're pretty light." I mutter the last sentence, I am surprised he is easy to carry due to the heavy clothing he has. I see him about to protest, but changing his mind and just holding his arms tighter around my neck instead.

Taking his actions as a agreement, I brought him back to the town and to my house, some people looking at us, but didn't question it as they saw the wrapped bandage around one of his legs to answer it.

Apparently I bumped into Ian and Quentin while passing Ian's house, who were hanging out together. "Hey Brice, what's up dude?" I hear Ian call out from the other side of the fence that was a barrier between us. The two went over to normally greet me, but then saw Seto in my arms, whose face was buried in my chest. "Who is that, he alright?" Quentin asked, pointing at the injury he had.

"Oh, yeah, He fell from a tree I found him when I was walking through the forest." I explain to them, nodding at it. "What's his name?" One of them asked. "Seto Sorcerer." I reply bluntly. Knowing that they do know the drawing of the said boy.

They gave me a look at me like I'm crazy, "You're joking right?" Ian looks at me, trying to see any sign of me lying, I wasn't though.

I shrugged and glance at the still hiding boy in my chest. "C'mon Sety, can you show your face to us, please?" I whisper to him softly. I see him shift a bit, looking up at us to show his face. He was the same when I first saw him, except his hair is a bit messier. The couple gasped as they saw his facial features. "H-Hi..." Seto says quietly at him. "Um… Hey there, Seto" The fish says while the other just waved at him.

"Wow. You weren't kidding Brice." Ian finally speaks up. "I thought he was only a drawing." Quentin mumbles, scratching the back of his neck. I shrug again and let my eyes gaze down at Seto who was staring at the two. "Well, Ian and I are going back inside, talk to you later Brice." Quentin says, holding his boyfriend's hand. (Tell me if you want Crundee or Huskdee.) I nod about to leave, but he leaned into my ear first and whispered "He seems your type." I blushed at this and shove him away playfully and he chuckles with a smirk, going back in the house with Ian.

I walk away, shaking my head a bit to try forgetting what my friend said. Friends are just the greatest. Am I right?

I soon reached my house. Placing Seto down on my porch first before grabbing my keys in my bag and unlocking the door open. Picking Seto back up gently in my welcoming arms. I let him lay down on the couch before he sits up and I lock the door.

My eyes look up at Seto who was glancing around the room curiously, for some reason putting a smile on my face. I then speak up to him "You hungry?" he looks at me with a small smile "Oh, yes. Anything is fine really." He responds.

I went straight to the kitchen to make something. I start making a sandwich for him. While deciding to get him a drink as well, I hear a shuffling noise back in my living room. After filling up a glass with orange juice, I take a peek from the kitchen door way to see Seto picking up books from a nearby bookshelf with his powers, the color was purple.

I raised an eyebrow at him, and chuckle softly. He really is a bookworm. Bringing the plate of sandwich and orange juice with me, I walk over to the boy. He reads a book close to his face, a pile of them next to him. I sit next to him placing the plate and glass on the table in front of the couch. He looks up at me then the pile of books at the other side of him.

He blushes a light shade of red of embarrassment. I just chuckled and placed the sandwich and drink down in front of him. He happily eats the sandwich, perking up at the taste. He soon finishes, washing it down with the juice.

I then tour him around the house, letting him walk since the wound was able to heal just enough now, bit still needing a bit of my help. I took him to his room, which we could decorate for him once hid leg is healed. I also brought the books he picked out from the living room to him for his entertainment. Letting him settle down his new home,  he thanks me for the hospitality, which a tell him it’s no problem.

After taking care of my new housemate I went straight to my room. Placing my bag on a table and jumping over to my bed. I sit up from my bed, thinking about the sorcerer who is now living with me. My wishes of having someone like him came through.

A hear a piece of paper from a shelf slip off and fly down in front of me. Bending down to pick it up, I took the drawn picture I front of me. I gasped silently at what laid in my hand before me. It was w colored drawing of how I first met Seto. Him on the ground surrounded with trees. He was rubbing his head seeming to be in pain, but what stand out the most was the red gash on his leg that I treated earlier.

Speaking of the drawing, I haven’t drew him much this day either. I would have him stuck on my head 24/7, but it seemed to have calmed down today.

Is it because I was meeting him today? If it is. Why? Is this a sign of some sort? Or is this all just  a coincidence. It would be to particular to be a coincidence. Then again,  I’m just stressing myself with questions. Probably from the more lack of sleep I’ve been getting.

I yawned loudly. Yeah, I’ll just sleep away the questions. Standing up and placing the paper back on its place again, I rubbed my eyes, getting sleepier by the second. I soon just tucked myself in the comforts of my bed. One though was on my head though.

Is this Destiny?

23 years old

I smiled lightly at Seto,  who was across from me and chatting with Ty. I was with the whole Team Crafted, including Tyler, having fun and laughs. They were really nice to Seto and welcomed him to the group.

Sure they were all surprised when I introduced Seto at first, but they treated him like a family member anyways. It did take him a while to settle in, from how shy he is, but everyone of them were a guardian to Seto.

Ty was the closest and the one who got along well the most with the sorcerer. They were best friends. Mess with one of them you mess with the other.

Adam and Ian were his trainers. They were mostly the ones training Seto how to fight more with both physical and magical. They also thought him how to deal with problems.

Jason was his guider. He showed Seto what’s best for him. He was the one that Seto knows he could talk to when he needed it.

Tyler and Quentin were more if the motherly people to the boy. They always took care of him when he gets hurt. They were the people that Seto could go to for comfort and seek his needs.

The Merome Duo were like his body guards. They were the ones that protected Seto from any harm. Of course,  they would prank him and the rest, but they still do care for him.

Me?  I was a combination of all of them. I am really close to Seto and I  am also his best friend from heart. I reached him the ways of handling a bad situation. I was the closest one he could talk to and his problems. I was always his comforter. There would never be a day without me protecting him from harm. And I was also his secret admirer.

They all soon found out my liking for him after A year and a half, except Seto. I’ve learned that he is quite oblivious at times, I don’t know if I should be happy or not that he doesn’t know my attraction towards him.

I do have my hopes up to maybe have a connection with my adorable housemate. I’ve seen his face redden when he looks or talks to me. He would stutter a lot when I wear something nice or talk to him in the morning from my husky voice. Either that he likes me or I’m just imagining things I’ll never really see.

I look back at a small notepad I brought with me, my eyes widening as I see that I’ve unconsciously drawn me and Seto kissing for the 4th time this week. What the hell is happening to me? My mind just seems to push me around without my control over it when’s it comes to the young sorcerer.

“Hey Brice what'cha doing there?” Mitch asks who was sitting beside me, looking over my shoulder to see what I’m doodling. I scramble to hide it with my hand and pushing his face away with my other one, blushing red. “N-Nothing!” I exclaim, not wanting to let him see even though he knows why.

“Jebus Brice! No need go get all defensive” He laughs a bit,  seeing my tomato face as I don’t respond to his comment. “I already know what it is anyways.” I sighed and closed the notepad, seeming to be a bit of a stressful sigh.

Jerome, who was just beside Mitch , looked over at me with a raised eyebrow and asks “You okay there bud?” I nod in response “Just a bit stressed out about you know.” I make a small movement at that indicated to the clueless Seto who was too distracted with a book he was now reading.

The older male nods, understanding on how I get fueled up with me having a relationship with the magical brown-haired boy. It honestly gets to my nerves and creativity that I even start drawing him and I doing something a couple would do that I don’t even notice once I’m done.

The guys would tease me about it a lot and I was so used to it that I don’t mind it as much as before. Plus,  it’s always banter, it’s really a daily thing for all of us. Non of us would dare try to really hurt someone intentionally.

Adam then stands up, screaming “DANG IT” that the whole restaurant we were in heard him. Apparently he lost a game of rock, paper, scissors to Jason and now has to pay for the fine. And no, he is not mad that he needs to be the one paying, he’s a rich kid to be fair,  he just hates losing to anything in particular either if it was a game or bet.

Jason smirks as Adam swats down a few hundred bills on the table next to the check with a frustrated groan. I rolled my eyes, typical Adam always using scissors that Jason knew he would use. It’s too easy for him and he knew he was going to win.

“Well boys, where to next?” Quentin raises an brow and looks at us all. “What about the park?” Ty speaks up, which kind of surprises me since he doesn’t go out there much because “The leaves messes up my hair” from all the trees that would frequently rain down their leaves. He only goes there in Winter because the leaves are all dead. (Like Adam’s channel.)

But it seems that I was the only one taken back, Seto was too busy reading his book and everyone else thought it was normal, even Adam! Does To like the park now or am I missing something?

We soon left the restaurant and to the evening cold. We all walked down the street to the park,  which is only around a 7 minute walk. I stayed close to Seto, placing a arm around his shoulders making him tense a bit, but soon relaxing and slightly leaning into my warmth. I see Ian smirk at my other side, rolling my eyes and pushing him away a bit.

We stopped by the entrance of the park. Adam leading us to a spot where there is a huge tree that you can sit under in. Seto immediately sat down and opened up his book again.

I thought it was going to be normal when Adam suddenly told me he was going to show his boyfriend someone thing and ran off. “Sky! Slow down a bit! Stop pulling me you dork!” I hear To scream at him as they left. I questioned it a bit, but then again it’s a Sky.

Then I suddenly see Jerome holding Mitch’s hand “Hey guys, me and Mitch wanted go check something out at the other side of the park,  well be back in a few minutes.” He explains before pulling his lover away from the group. Um… okay? I guess? They probably want to make out or something.

I hear Jason whisper something to Quentin and he nods. He then went up to me “Hey Brice, do you mind if we let you and Seto alone for a while? Jason said him and Tyler found something really cool near the flower Arden and I want to bring Ian with me. Is that okay?” He looks at me, his eyes hoping that I’ll say yes. Seeing that I can get some alone time with Seto and he seems that he really wants to I agreed. Quentin smiles happily and pulled Ian with him as they followed Jason and Tyler.

I was now then left with my crush. I started to replay what excuses and behaviors they had. They all looked like they were in a hurry and acting a bit weird. Something is up, I can sense it. Deciding that I’ll ask them all later, I just sat next to Seto,  a bit to close for a friendly way.

He looks up at me and gives me a little smile, causing me to smile at him as well, before looking down on the page he was reading. I silently sighed, bored out of my mind. It would be a good time to draw right now, and it is a nice evening, so why not?

After choosing to take the opportunity to have my artistic side go, I grabbed my notepad from my jacket pocket and two pencils, one for the drawing and the other for the shading. I let my mind wonder what to draw. That’s when I thought of the tree me and Seto were sitting under on.

I smiled widely and took my time on making light sketches for the base of the tree. My eyes sparkling in amusement whenever my pencil would glide down to make darker lines and curves on the trunk of the tree. I drew branches and erased some parts of it to make some detailed leaves. I hummed as I used the shading pencil to take the dark and light aspects to life.

The picture was going great through the process. I felt a pair of eyes looking at me as a draw, but I shrugged it off since its just Seto and he would care for his book more that he has been dying to finish, so I continued on with the lovely image.

That’s when my hand had a mind of their own, it started to make two figures that slowly took shape. The faces started to get familiar, too familiar. One was wrapping his arms around the other’s neck, while it was holding his waist. They were both males kissing each other, eyes closed it bliss. My breathing stopped for a bit as I went back to reality and knew who the two were.

It was me and Seto.

Kissing under the same tree. I bit my lip at how much detail I put into it without even with my knowledge. Its not only just my friends but me as well.  This is getting really out of hand.

I froze as a felt a warm breath hit my neck. I look to my side to see Seto looking at the drawing. His eyes looking specifically at the two characters. Has he been watching me this whole time?!

I blushed red once he faced back at me again with those innocent brown eyes. I bit my lip harder and looked away, embarrassed and him now knowing my affections towards him. He is so going to reject me and never look at me as a friend ever again.

That’s what I thought when he suddenly gently places a hand on my thigh and using his other one to make me look at him. We sat in silence, I was waiting for a rejection, in any type of that matter,  gentle or harmful. I mean I literally fell in love with my best friend who lives with me and who I found in the forest.

He then speaks softly at me “Brice…” I gulped a bit, “Y-Yeah?” I patiently waited for him to say he didn’t like me that way and have my heart broken. But he then asked me an unbelievable question “Do you know why you’ve been drawing me then me and you together…?”

I shook my head and say “N-No, why?” “Maybe because of this.” He says, I was about to ask what he meant,  but he cut me off. My eyes widened at the feeling of warm pair of lips touching mine. I sat there, my heart pounding almost painfully against my chest, not knowing what watr6s happening before I analyzed it.

Seto is kissing me.

Seto the Sorcerer is kissing me.

I realized that his arms are wrapped around my neck. I then bring mine to his waist, pulling him closer. I soon kiss back against his soft lips. I feel him relax and melt under me. I tilt my head a bit to the side to deepen it. As much as I know this sounds really cliché, I felt bliss in my life, I felt like I could do anything with him now with me.

We pulled away for air, just staring at each other’s shinning orbs. I smile adoringly at him, him blushing adorably and pecking my lips. I chuckle and he giggles. “I-I… um, ” he starts “I-I love y—” I stop his sentence with another loving kiss, him kissing back immediately. I break away and grin at him, “I love you too, Seto.” I tell him with all my honesty. He just hugs me and nuzzles his face at the crook of my neck. I hug him back without any hesitation, taking the moment of just us in the world.

I hear a slight squeal from someone and I look up at the direction of the noise. I see the whole Team crafted staring at us two. Mitch and Tyler’s eyes had stars in them with wide grins. Adam and Jerome has a look of Victory. Ty was happily smiling at us with a thumbs up. Ian makes an almost inaudible “Yes” with the ‘s’ stretching.  Jason and Quentin just nods and grins fondly at us. That’s when I realized why they’ve been acting strange. “You’ve been setting us up this whole time, haven’t you guys?” I stare at them with a blank expression.

Japan laughed and said, “Haha, yep! We both soon found out that you guys liked each other, but too stupid enough not to notice each other’s same feelings.” “And it was getting harder not to spill everything and how cute for guys were together since we wanted to make it really romantic.” Jerome adds in to Jason's statement. I shook my head and sent them a smile of thanks, slightly hating them, but are thankful that I have them as good friends.

I glance back down at Seto, who heard everything, and I can tell is now blushing mess. I chuckled and hear “Can we please leave now? I don’t want the leaves all over my hair now since its almost fall!” Ty yell. We all agreed on leaving, it was getting pretty late and we didn’t want to whine anymore.

I smiled as we all have our own significant other, including me and Seto now. I kept Seto close to my like before, except my arm is around the back of his waist now. He leaned on my shoulder and sighed in content. I was happy, happy to have Seto by my side, but not in a friendly way this time.

We all walked down to our homes. All saying good bye to each other and some blessings that were given to us to have a healthy relationship. Soon it was just me and Seto. “Hey Seto?” I glance at my new lover, who hummed in response. “ I wasn’t able to ask you this earlier,” I gleamed down at him “But will you please be my boyfriend?” His grin from before grew wider and he kissed my cheek. “I would love to, Brice.” I kissed his forehead and lead us back to our house.

I unlocked the door and went inside. I locked the door again and we both pulled our shoes and jackets off. I hear a yawn from my Seto and laughed lightly, “Does someone have to go to bed time now?” He nodded and yawned again.

I carefully took him to the bedrooms, about to pass mine when he stopped me “Can I sleep with you,  Bricey?” I stared at him and he was adorable pulling my sleeve with a look of a tired child. “Of course, love.” I simply say before opening my room door for him.

He happily squealed a bit and immediately sat on my bed. He sees a drawn picture beside him and looked at it. I sat beside him and it was a sketch of me sleeping next go Seto with him snuggling my chest. I grinned and he gave me the paper with a sleepy smile and a pink shade of blush on his cheeks. I took the paper and placed it on my desk.

I look back and he made grabby hands at me and I chuckled, picking him up and laying him down with me. He pulled himself closer to my chest and yawned again. I rubbed circles on his back as we started to go to sleep. But that’s when I remember something that he told me under the tree.

“Hey baby?” I say softly at him. “Hm?” “Remember when you said on why I’ve been drawing you then us together?” I tell him. “Yeah what about it?” His eyes move up to see mine at his.
“I think I know why I’ve been doing that since I was young.”

“Really why?”

“Because,” I smiled lovingly at him and I kiss him. Pulling away to say my answer.

“I’ve been drawing my soulmate.”

================================

Ah! Finally! And update for you guys! I’ve been doing this for a month now, and it really took me a while to find myself what to write about it and how to plan it, with my laziness and other things to do, but here it is.

I’ll be getting a Vikklan or The Pack one very soon. This is really long, so I hope this makes up for the long wait since last update, December.

Thank you very much for reading and I hope to get another one out soon in a few days.
Bye!~
