Sydney , Australia

Nova is returning home from her work , when she hears some sound like someone is in pain . When she follows the sound she sees an injured young man .

At first she hesitates a bit but notice bleeding from his stomach area , she decides to approach him.

" Excuse me ? Are you okay? Do you need help?" Nova ask the man with worry and hesitation

" I don't need help from a stranger like you " . " Just leave me" he groans in pain

"But you don't seem to be in a good condition , please let me help you " she trys to help the man

"I told you , I'm fine, just leave me alone " he hiss in anger, groans in pain but doesn't let Nova help him . He sees Nova approach him so he yells at her this time . "I already told you I don't need a damn help from a stranger like you " . Nova is taken back as he yells at her

" I don't mean to get you angry , I just wanted to help -" he interrupts her and says

" You think that I care ? I don't need a damn help from a stranger. I told you and especially from an idiot like you "

He tries to stand up on his feet but he groans in pain and fails to stand up, resulting him to fall in his knees. His rude behaviour is making Nova angry

" Don't you have any manners ? Don't you know how to talk to someone who is trying to help you. You're yelling and calling them idiot. Fine I'm going and I will not help you too"

Anger is filled in her words and she left from there but there's guilt forming inside her . Seeing an injured and not helping him. She stops and comes back to him , help his stand up and walk even though he refuses.

" Don't think I'm doing this on my own, I'm just feeling guilty".

He is a bit taken back by how feisty she is in front of him as he rais an eyebrow at her.

"Fine , do whatever the heck you want , but just know. I don't need a damn help from a stranger. I can take care of myself "

He grumbles as he let her help him in walking as he lean on her shoulder. He curse under his breath  , glancing at her face .

" Yeah yeah, I also don't care about you , I care about your injury and please, why do you keep repeating the same thing"

He rolls his eyes at her statement, not giving a shit and remain silent. But he speaks up again

"Of course you don't give a shit about me anyways you just care about my so called injury that's nothing."

He speaks sarcastically as he continue walking with Nova's help towards her house. It doesn't take long to reach them her house. She help him sit on the couch till she brings the first aid kit.

He sits silently on the couch letting her treat his wounds. He watches her every move with a neutral expression on his face. When she finally finish treating him , he looks at his treated wound, she did a simple first-aid that is good enough for his wounds to not hurt him but he won't admit that to her .

"There you go , your wounds are treated, but you should get treated them nicely by a doctor "

"Hump , not bad for an idiot "

"Yeah, not bad for a rude mouth. So a robber or a debt collector?"

Nova ask him placing the kit on its usual place. He let out a low scoff as he hears her call him back as a rude mouth. But misunderstood her question.

"What makes you think I'm a robber or a debt collector?"

"You're not just rude but you don't have brain too. I'm not saying you're any robber or debt collector. I'm asking who did this to you, a robber or a debt collector. The real idiot is you not me"

She sigh cause it's hard for her to talk to a rude and idiot person.

"Hey, are you really from here? Cause I don't think so"

He rolls his eyes and leans back a bit on the couch.

"What makes you think that" he ask her , avoiding her question .

"Cause your communication skills is really bad . First you misunderstood my question, and thought I was referring you as a robber or a debt collector. Was not my question simple. People here usually talk like that, but you failed to understand "

Her reason make him tilt his head to the side as he looks her up and down for a moment.

"Yes , you're right. I'm not from here . I moved here a couple weeks ago "

"And you made a trouble for yourself , what a trouble maker. So are you all alone, by yourself here or ..?"

He is a bit irritated by your words for him .

"Yeah yeah , and why someone like need any help."

"Yeah , and why would someone as polite like you help someone as rude like me ?"

"Oh , thank you for calling me polite and I helped you cause you needed it . Help who need it and you happen to need my help. So what is your name. I'm Nova Everhart "

"Oh , is that so and I'm Lucius Augustus."

It's just a start let's see what comes between Nova Everhart and Lucius Augustus.
