(PREMANOR AU)

Edgar's POV- my father is holding another party tonight.. I hate parties; they're always the same. Filthy rich people who cover everything up with lies and smiles. I have no interest in going to something like that, so I plan to stay in my room for the rest of tonight- the party starts a bit so I decided to start a new painting.

As I painted I heard the loud voices from down stairs- apparently an inventor around my age was going to be there. I heard presentations and loud laughter- along with the clanging of plates and other tableware. It was muffled from up here but it was nice. I painted in peace, while I listened to the music from downstairs.The peace was soon interrupted. I heard something touch my door knob and my eyes shot open and I looked over. A guy in a brown suit walked in, I've never seen him before...

"Oh- this isn't the restroom I'm so sorry" he apologized

"It's alright" I told him

He was about to leave when he got a glimpse of my painting, "did you make that" his asked with his eyes lighting up

"I did" I smiled back- wait why did I smile...

"Would you mind if I maybe.. sit up here for awhile" the man asked

"Sure I don't mind" I told him, why did I say yes...?

He closed the door behind him and sat down, "jeez everything is so chaotic down there"

"I know that's why I always stay up here" I agreed

"I don't blame you, my name is Luca Balsa by the way!" he told me

"Edgar Valden is my name" I told him

I had to admit he was kinda pretty, I even caught myself staring for a bit. He told me that he was new and was working under a mentor. He said that they would be coming here a lot because his mentor and my father knew each other quite well. If I'm being honest here I wouldn't mind that..

"You know I'm a artist too" Luca said

I turned my gaze away from my painting and looked at him, "you are?" I questioned

"Yeah! Maybe not in the same way as you but to invent stuff! Like uh this!" He said while pulling something out of his pocket

It was a necklace that had a light bulb on it, "look it even lights up" he showed me

"That's so cool, did you make that one yourself" I asked him

"I did! You know what how about this, here you can take it" he told me

"Wh- for me?!" I asked him

"Yeah!!!" He smiled while handing it to me

I felt bad giving him nothing in return so I told him to wait and I dug through my small painting drawer and handed him one of those- it was called starry night.

"Then here you have this" I smiled back at him

"Wow! Thank you" he said gratefully

A bit after I heard someone call his name, "do you have to go?" I asked him

"I think so, it was a pleasure to meet you Valden.. perhaps we could hangout again another time" he said as he left

I wasn't expecting that to happen tonight...

After everyone left I could hear my father and someone else talking downstairs, so I decided to make my appearance and remind everyone down stairs that I indeed still exist.I walked down the stairs to see Luca, he turned to me and waved and I smiled back at him.

I joined my father and he was shocked to see me, " Edgar are you coming to join us? We decided that we're going out"

"Well I uh" I looked at Luca

My father noticed this and said "Luca is coming to"

"Okay I'll go" I nodded my head

My father and Luca mentor got a different carriage than us, we got our own separate one. We were going to a small gathering hall since they had a meeting, it had a ballroom that you could enter too. Luca told me he had to come since this was his ride home.

On the way there me and Luca talked about a lot of things and I learned so much about him. I had to admit he was different, not in a bad way but just the kind of different I longed for.When we arrived at the place we waved our goodbyes to my father and his mentor and Luca took me into the ballroom.

"Wait Luca you wanna dance?" I asked

"I mean why not! A Valden must know how to dance right?" he stated

I looked away and he stared back at me in disbelief.

"Here okay i'll teach you" he said while holding my arm

He ran through the steps with me and before I even knew it I was dancing with Luca. Man did this night take a turn.. what happened to me just staying in my room and painting..

a bit after they came back and told us they were done, this time Luca would be going with his mentor and admittedly I felt a bit... sad? We told them we would be out in a second and Luca told me his phone number while he gave me a goodbye hug.I got In the carriage with my father and I looked away from him.

"So uh Lucas a nice boy" he said

"yeah" I blushed

"I seen you to uh dancing" he admitted

"Oh.. you saw that"

"I did, you know what I would like it if you guys became good friends I think it would be nice for you to go out more"

"I mean I don't mind Luca" I agreed

"Okay then" my father said not wanting to pry anymore out of me for tonight

When we got home I thought about what I talked about with Luca. It was now very late in the evening and I laid in my bed. I looked at the necklace Luca gave me and turned it on. I was shocked by his trinket; it was truly a work of art.I fell asleep a bit after that, holding the necklace. Maybe Luca really was different...
