MAGNUS as POND
CARLSEN as PHUWIN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Magnus and Carlsen had been together for three years, their love blossoming more and more each day despite the disapproval of those around them. Magnus, a 23-year-old technician at a tech company, dreamt of becoming an actor but was always too busy with work to pursue his passion. Carlsen, on the other hand, was 21 and stayed at home, supporting Magnus in any way he could.

Every morning, Magnus would wake up first, gazing at Carlsen for a few moments before checking up on him. He would then take a shower, prepare breakfast, and wait for Carlsen to wake up so they could eat together. Their morning routine was a peaceful and loving time for the couple, providing them with a sense of comfort and stability in a world that was often against their relationship.

As their third anniversary approached, Carlsen had been acting strangely, keeping busy with unknown activities and avoiding Magnus at times. Magnus grew worried, wondering if their relationship was falling apart. However, on the morning of January 25, Magnus woke up to find Carlsen missing from their room. Frantically searching for him, Magnus finally spotted Carlsen outside, setting up a beautifully decorated table with food and fancy decorations for their anniversary.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Magnus walked up to Carlsen and asked him what all of this was about. Carlsen simply smiled and said he wanted to have a special date to celebrate their anniversary. After breakfast, Carlsen presented Magnus with a contract, stating that if Magnus passed an audition, he would become a trainee at a theater company. Magnus was ecstatic, as this was his dream come true.

The rest of the day was spent reminiscing about their happy memories and exploring their favorite places together. As the sun set, they returned home, feeling more in love than ever before. They only had one room in their house, a cozy hotel room with a single bed that they shared every night, finding comfort in each other's arms.

But their happiness was short-lived as a sense of unease began to creep into Magnus' mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that their perfect day was too good to be true. Late at night, as they lay in bed, Magnus heard a faint noise coming from outside their room. Curious, he got up and opened the door, only to come face to face with a masked intruder.

Panic coursed through Magnus' veins as he tried to protect Carlsen, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bed. The intruder, armed with a knife, lunged at Magnus, who fought back with all his might. In the chaos that ensued, Magnus managed to overpower the intruder and knock him unconscious.

Shaken but grateful that they were safe, Magnus held Carlsen close, whispering words of love and reassurance. The adrenaline rush from the encounter slowly faded, leaving them both in a state of shock and disbelief. As they clung to each other, the realization dawned on them that their love would always triumph over any obstacle that came their way.

In the aftermath of the terrifying ordeal, Magnus and Carlsen's bond only grew stronger, cementing their love and trust in each other. They knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always have each other to lean on and support them through the darkest of times.

And as they lay in each other's arms, listening to the steady beat of their hearts, they knew that their love was a force to be reckoned with, defying all odds and conquering any obstacle in its path. For Magnus and Carlsen, their love was a beacon of light in a world that often sought to extinguish it, a testament to the power of love to overcome even the darkest of days or maybe it's just what they think but reality is way more opposite of what we think.

*Days after

Carlsen sat alone in his dimly lit apartment, his heart heavy with sorrow and his mind filled with regret. He replayed the events of the past few months over and over in his head, trying to make sense of how everything had fallen apart so quickly.

It all began with a simple contract that Magnus had signed, a contract that would change their lives forever. Magnus had always dreamed of working at a prestigious company, and when he was finally given the opportunity to do so, he jumped at the chance. Carlsen was happy for Magnus, of course, but he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of his stomach.

As Magnus began his new job as a trainee, he became consumed by his work. He would leave early in the morning and come home late at night, exhausted and drained. Carlsen tried to be understanding, to be supportive, but as the days turned into weeks, he found himself feeling more and more alone.

Carlsen, too, had found a job at a local sewing store, a job that was far from glamorous but paid the bills. He worked long hours and came home tired, but he always made time to talk to Magnus, to ask him about his day and show him that he cared. But as Magnus became more distant, more preoccupied with his own success, Carlsen began to feel a rift forming between them.

One day, Magnus came home with news that he had been accepted as a permanent actor in a popular series. Carlsen was happy for Magnus, but deep down, he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Magnus was achieving his dreams, while Carlsen felt stuck in a dead-end job, struggling to make ends meet.

As Magnus dove deeper into his new role, he became even more distant from Carlsen. He would come home late, barely acknowledging Carlsen's presence before retreating to his own world. Carlsen tried to be patient, to be understanding, but as the days turned into months, he felt himself growing more and more resentful.

Then, one day, Carlsen received a devastating diagnosis – he had cancer in his heart and needed immediate treatment. He was shocked and scared, but he decided to keep the news from Magnus, not wanting to burden him with his own pain.

As Magnus continued to prioritize his career over their relationship, Carlsen felt his heart breaking more and more each day. He longed for the days when they would talk for hours, laugh together, and dream about their future. But those days seemed like a distant memory now, buried beneath the weight of their crumbling relationship.

Finally, after a particularly heated argument, Carlsen and Magnus decided to go their separate ways. Magnus left, leaving behind a wad of cash for Carlsen to use for bills and rent. Carlsen watched him go, feeling a sense of emptiness wash over him.

But even as Magnus walked away, Carlsen knew deep down that he still loved him. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were meant to be together, despite the challenges and obstacles that had driven them apart.

And so, as Carlsen sat alone in the park, tears streaming down his face, he made a promise to himself – he would fight for their love, no matter what it took. And as he drove away into the night, a glimmer of hope sparked in his heart, knowing that their story was far from over.

After the breakup, Magnus pursued a career in acting and quickly rose to fame. His charming looks and undeniable talent captivated audiences worldwide, making him a household name in the entertainment industry. He starred in blockbuster movies, won prestigious awards, and lived a life of luxury and glamour.

On the other hand, Carlsen chose a simpler path. He found solace in working at a cozy cafe, owned by a kind-hearted woman named Dunk. Despite his humble job, Carlsen enjoyed serving customers and found comfort in the routine of his daily life. Little did he know that his peaceful existence would soon be shattered by a devastating diagnosis.

One fateful day, Carlsen collapsed at work and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors delivered the heartbreaking news that he had been diagnosed with advanced heart cancer. Carlsen's world crumbled as he faced the reality of his mortality, unsure of what the future held for him.

Meanwhile, Magnus was living a life of excess and indulgence. He had countless girlfriends, attended glamorous events, and basked in the adoration of his fans. However, deep down, he felt a sense of emptiness and longing for the simplicity and purity of his past love with Carlsen.

As months passed, Carlsen's condition worsened, and he found himself in desperate need of urgent treatment. Alone and afraid, he longed for the comfort and companionship of his former lover, Magnus. Despite his fame and success, Magnus couldn't shake off the guilt and regret that consumed him for leaving Carlsen behind.

One day, Magnus received a life-changing phone call from Carlsen's hospital room. It was Dunk, Carlsen's best friend and cafe owner, who informed him of Carlsen's critical condition and desperate need for a family member by his side. Magnus was overcome with shock and remorse, realizing the gravity of the situation and the depth of his feelings for Carlsen.

Without a second thought, Magnus rushed to the hospital to be by Carlsen's side. As he entered the emergency room, he was met with a heartbreaking sight of Carlsen hooked up to machines and fighting for his life. Dunk greeted Magnus with a mix of surprise and relief, grateful that Carlsen had someone to support him in his time of need.

As Magnus signed the necessary documents for Carlsen's surgery, he felt a wave of regret and sorrow wash over him. He knew that he had hurt Carlsen deeply with his choices and was determined to make amends and be there for him in his darkest hour.

The hours passed in agonizing anticipation as Magnus waited for news on Carlsen's surgery. The uncertainty of the outcome weighed heavily on his heart, as he prayed for Carlsen's recovery and a second chance at love.

Finally, the doctor emerged from the operating room with a somber expression. Magnus held his breath, fearing the worst. The doctor's words hung in the air, heavy with tension and emotion, as he delivered the news that would change both Magnus and Carlsen's lives forever.
