Flying seeds of hope

Chapter 1

- Ocs added.

"After this I won't be a burden" a boy with hair as white as snow itself. He shudders looking down at the lake infront of him, staring at it as it flows slowly.

It's quite, no one to interfere, no one to stop him, no one at all.. alas he fell on the ground due to the starvation catching up to him. "Is this how I die? Not even a delicious last meal to quench my hunger?" He lays there on the ground, not enough power to get up.

"I just want....a family" with those words escaping his mouth he flopped into the lake. In the orphanage a boy once said
"if I ever want a way to die, I want to drown...its peaceful, painless, it may be suffocating but it will end fast.."
"Why would you want to drown tho? I'd rather die of old age"
"I don't know, haha, maybe I just like the ocean.."
"..."
"Neh Atsushi-san...I'm not gonna be able to die in an ocean because I'm already dying with my illness, but, if you want to die a way drowning would be the most painless way.."

He looked at the boy with a confused expression, clueless of what those words ment.

"It is...peaceful.." thought Atsushi as he closed his eyes, only for him to float upwards by a gravitational pull.

"Wha--how?!" He thought his mind must be going crazy from the drowning. Is what he thought. As he reached the surface smelling the fresh breeze and feeling the evening breeze his eyes slowly began to open, perhaps an hallucination? His mind fuzzy, it was only when he heard a loud scream he confirmed he wasn't hallucinating.

"Oi!! YOU CRAZY OR SOMETHING HUH KID?" A voice deepish but scruffy spoke. As he landed on the ground still laying there with his back on it, he tried to make a clear image of the person talking to him as his eyes were blurry.

"Jeez why are there so many suicidal brats these days.... oi, you alive?" The voice speaks again. Atsushi's sight becoming clearer each passing second. "Who...are?" The boy managed to choke out. "Ah good you're alive I thought I'd have to burry you for a second there " the person speaks once again. Finnaly Atsushi's sight was clear enough to see who was speaking to him, he was completely breathless at the sight.

This person was absolutely astonishing, with his blazing red hair and ocean coloured eyes that sparkled in the evening sky. He was an angel, he wore a blue jacket with a red hoodie attached to it, bellow it was a tight light grey shirt that hugged his body perfectly showing his muscular yer feminine like form, onto of that he wore a white tie with unique patterns. His hair was long and there was a pair of shades place on his head, he wore 3 golden rings on his index, middle and pinky finger on both hands. And for trousers just some tight black jeans.

"Shes so beautiful" thought the white haired boy. "Hello? You there"
The man spoke making Atsushi snap out of his daze. The red head extended his arm, offering a helping hand, thankfully Atsushi had just about enough energy to grab his hand and stand up saying, "thank you-- uh- mam?".

"The red head just stared at him as he helped him get up, Atsushi had thought he had said something offensive which he was about to apologise but the red head interrupted him "who you calling "mam" did the water mess up your brain too?" Atsushi blinked in confusion, as he took a look at the red head more clearly and up close he realised this man looked more masculine up close.

"A-ah, i-- apologise, I guess the water did make me a bit hazy--haha.."
The man brushed it off saying "So kid, whyd you try to drown yourself just now huh? " He questions, not taking his eyes off him.
Before the boy could speak a rumbling sound was heard from said guy. Embarrassed he apologises.

"Come with me kid, let's get you something to eat first " he couldn't refuse the boy was starving so he took his chance.

◇

1 bowl turned to 2 bowls, two bowls turned to 5, 5 turned to 10 and before you knew it Atsushi had devoured 20 bowls of udon.
"Ah-- thank you kind sir, I'm stuffed"
He pats his stomach indicating he's had enough.
" wow, 20 bowls of udon in less than 10 minutes, I'm impressed "
the red head chuckles, "so mind explain now? "
his tone now serious, "Uh..its-- complicated?"
He speaks, silence filling the room, awkwardness following soon after.
"You kids and trying to end your lives I swear" the red head cursed under his breath, breaking the awkward silence, "What do you get called kid."
Atsushi blinks twice processing what he had just said
"Ah--its Atsushi, Atsushi Nakajima, Mr--?"
"Chuuya. Chuuya Nakahara."
"Ah, nice name. So um-- how did I float up to the surface earlier?" He asks curiosity filling his mind.
"Oh, you mean my ability?" Chuuya asks turning towards him, his eyes glittering.
"Eh-? Ability?" he asks genuinely confused, Chuuya blinks immediately bursting out in laughter, The silver haired boy now looking at Chuuya with confusion over his face.

Chuuya turns towards Atsushi, realising he is being serious. Chuuya is taken a back
"Y-you're not joking?"
Atsushi shakes his head, very much serious and in a state of confusion.
The red head sighs proceeding to explain what an ability is. Growing up in such a place that abuses constantly, Ofcourse he would have little knowledge on the simplest of things.

"Owah!! So cool!!" His eyes stary, Exactic over the thing called an ability.
"Can you show it to me again?"
"Sure let me-"
Suddenly Chuuya's phone started ringing, cutting him off. He looked down to see who was calling him, as he saw the name on his mobile, he sighed. Turning to Atsushi

"Sorry...i--uh gotta take this.."
"Ah--that's fine" he says waving his hands, "take your time".
Nodding, Chuuya went behind the shoji to take the call. Once he was out of sight Atsushi sighs, slumping on the chair.
"Why is he treating me so kindly, I'm just some trash he picked up on the road...I don't want to be a burden--I mean, thus is the second time he's helping me. I need to repay the favour."

"Somehow--"

Meanwhile, Chuuya picked up the phone call and began talking to who it was
"Chuchu! Hihi!!"
"Ah Ranpo-san.." he sighs
"Do you need something?"
"Yep!! Please get me some snacks at that new café, pleaseee!!"
Chuuya groans clearly pissed off.
"Did you seriously call me just for THAT!?" His tone sharp, shouting a little.
"Ah--chuchu don't be so mad... it will ruin your pretty face!!"
"Get..to the point."
"Alright Jeez....you remember the mission right?"
Crap. He got distracted.

"Ah--yeah- search for the weretiger and bring them back unscathed...yeah I didn't forge-het.." his voice cracking at forget
"You sure you didn't forget~" Ranpo says in a teasing tone.
"Shut up or I won't buy your dumb snacks"
"Ah--sorry, sorry... Chuchu is so mean..." mumbling that last sentence he clears his throat.

"Its fine, since you are already with him" Ranpo explains, making chuuya pause for a moment.
"Eh!? You mean... that kid?" His expression a surprised one.
"Ding ding ding!!"

Chuuya could barely interpret what ranpo was saying as his attention turned to a butterfly, a white one to be precise, how peculiar yet somewhat familiar he thought. He watched as it stretched his wings as it laid on the window, soon after he caught himself staring at it, immediately tearing his eyes away, as he went back inside. The butterfly flying away soon after.

◇

"As beautiful as ever are you not, Chuuya.." a man with hair half, blonde and half white, wearing fancy clothes grinning as he stroked a white butterfly.

"Don't you think?"

Apologies if this seems formal or too verbal, I tend to write formal because I do Essays in English a lot so😭

Also, I'm not too sure if Atsushi was taught wt an ability is, so if he did its quite ooc
