Two From Different Worlds ( ATWOW FANFIC )

After training walks

Akira's POV

" You're really good at this," Aonung panted. I grinned, offering my hand out to him. He took it and I pulled him up from the ground.

We were training on combat today, using wooden practice spears. And I've managed to knock him down a few times. Lo'ak would be proud.

" Perks of being raised by gangsters, I guess," I shrugged. Aonung chuckled, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

" Training's over, good work, go get some rest," the Trainer said, patting Aonung on the back and giving us a smile. We placed the spears aside and walked off together.

" Want to go for a walk?" Aonung suggested. Lo'ak wouldn't be happy...but what's the worst that could happen, right?

" Sure," I smiled. 

We walked along the shore, the waved rushing in gently, flopping at our feet. We seem distant from the more crowded areas, it seemed more peaceful, with the sounds of the waves, no chatter.

" So, how do you think of training?" he said after a short silence.  I shrugged.

" It's cool, quite fun actually," I laughed softly. He gave a smile.

" You said you were raised by gangsters?" He asked, slightly hesitant. I nodded, sitting down and closing my eyes, letting myself relax.

He sat down beside me, " Tell me about it."

I opened my eyes in surprise. Did he just say-

" Tell me about it, how was it like?" he asked, genuinely curious. A soft smile slowly rose to my lips.

And I did. I told him how the life of getting raised by gangsters were.

" It was hard, but I wouldn't change it for anything," I sighed with a smile. He smiled at me.

"They sound very friendly," he commented. I nodded, beaming.

" They are, once you get to know them," I hummed. His fingers brushed mine when he raised his arm to place it on his knee.

We were sitting with our legs straight, arms supporting. He had one knee up.

" Do you miss them?"

I turned to look at him before looking back at the water.

" Yes...I miss them...a lot, they are my family, and I wouldn't change them for anyone," I breathed. In the corner of my eye, I could see him smile, and he seemed...calm.

" It's nice...being away from all of the trainings...and the duties," he said softly. It was my turn to smile.

" Stressful isn't it," I chuckled. He chuckled along, nodding.

" Yeah."

He breathed slowly, the sound of the waves and his breathing was making me fall asleep.

When I turned to him after a moment of silence, he was laying with his eyes closed, one arm propped under his head.

He seemed...peaceful...relaxed...calm. This was weird, me just staring at him while he lay asleep. But the moment seemed right. I focused onto the ocean, the sun was just starting to set, and everything looked so...beautiful.

It was like all my problems disappeared, and it was just me, Aonung, and Pandora. I didn't want to think of the Recoms or the RDA, or Quaritch...for now...I just wanted to live in the moment.

The wind blew gently, my hair flowing in the wind, my skin cool in the cooling breeze. The water shimmered, and it was so beautiful.

Pandora was beautiful...it was like home.

Aonung woke up after an hour or so, I didn't know how long we've been here.

" Sorry," he said, rubbing his neck. I smiled.

" It's okay, you deserve to rest."

He seemed taken aback by that, but didn't question it. The sky was now a glow of orange.

" It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked, staring into the sky. He nodded.

" It is..." he relaxed his shoulders.

"Thank you." he said. I looked at him, slight confusion in my eyes.

" For what?"

" For telling me, about your life with the gangsters, and for being here," he said, and he really meant it. At least he wasn't being weird about it.

" Of course, thanks for listening, Aonung, and for not judging," I chuckled. He shrugged. We shared a smile and laughed.

This feels like a start of a growing friendship.
