🏳️‍🌈The Witch🏳️‍🌈

(AU idk how to explain! Two boys live in the woods, one a witch and the other not so much. They know of each other, often people are confused by them. I took this from a YouTube short.)

~Nico POV~

"I'm here in search of the witch!" The person at my door said. "Might that be you, sir?"

"No." I stated. "He's over there."

I pointed to the bright house across the street. Will was outside doing some gardening. He looked up and waved.

"Him?" The person said.

"Yeah." I shrugged.

They looked between me and Will a few times. I groaned and closed the door.

{A Long While Later}

I looked outside and saw Will wave someone away. He smiled but it looked...off...Was that person not one of those needy people he loves to help? Did they ask him for something he can't grant? Again? Did they say something stupid to him? ugh! He tries his best...

I stepped outside and made my way across the street.

"Hey, Will." I said.

"Hm? Hi!" The witch grinned. "How are you today, Darling?"

"I'm fine, but are you?" I asked. "You looked sad when I walked up."

"I just..." He sighed. "I wished I could...nevermind. It's nothing."

"You're a sunny witch and live across the street from me." I said. "I think I can handle whatever you have to say."

"It's nothing, Darling." He said. "I think I need sometime alone. If anyone comes by your place looking for me today, could you just send them away?"

"Of course." I said. "If you need someone to talk to, I'm just across the street."

{A Few Days Later}

"Hey!" The random guy at my door said.

"Are you looking for the witch?" I asked. "He's-"

"Oh, I know. He sent me over here." He said. "I asked him to help me find love. He asked me if I liked men then sent me over here."

Will gave me a thumbs up from his porch. I rolled my eyes and slammed the door.

~Will POV~

Nico rolled his eyes and slammed the door. I frowned.

[Flashback to a Few Months Earlier]

I watched the new neighbor take boxes inside. How strange. That place has been vacant for years. No one wants to live across the way from a witch. Did he not read the fine print?

The small, dark-haired man climbed into the moving truck. I peaked inside. I'll admit, he's cute.

"Hello?" I said. "You must be my new neighbor! I'm Will!"

He stared at me a moment. I could practically see the gears turning in his head.

"You're the witch...?" He asked.

"Yep." I said. "A lot of people say I don't look the part."

"You really don't." He replied, looking me up and down. "I expected someone less..."

He gestured to me. I gave him an awkward smile.

"Need any help with your boxes?" I offered.
