(A/N Update!! However don't party for too long because who knows how long it'll take me to update more chapters due to my mental problems, but don't worry, I'm fine because if not, everyone will murder me if I don't finish this. So for now enjoy!)
"Rats?"
"It appears so."
The two boys looked at each other then back to rats then back to each other.
"What do you think? Are they causing such massive illness?" Mathias asked.
"It could be." Lukas answered staring at the water filled with dead rats.
"I don't understand. How can rats cause such a thing?"
Silence.
Then Lukas mumled something.
"What is it?" Mathias asked.
"It's the water. They are poisoning the water and people drink it! Quick Mathias! We have to warn the others not to drink the water!"
"Lukas!" A voice echoed, but neither Lukas nor Mathias were able to recognise it.
A young man with brown hair and blue eyes approached the two, bowed down and said:
"Your king is dead. We have to find someone to rule the kingdom of Norway, but we're also scared that the same fate might come upon the next king too. We're suggesting the king of Sweden, he seems healthy. Please consider this suggestion and inform us about it." And with that he left.
The two children just stood there, watching in the direction the message man left in complete silence.
"I'm sorry that your king is dead, Lukas." Mathias said as he took Lukas' hands into his own and looked at them.
"I'm not worried about it. I'm much more worried about my people. What if everyone dies? What if I cease to exist? I'm scared, Mathias." Lukas hugged Mathias holding him like a child who holds their mother in fear of her disappearing if she leaves.
"Don't worry, I won't let you disappear. As long as I am here, you won't disappear." Mathias said hugging the boy back.
They stayed like that for a while. Neither wanted to break apart, but they knew they had to. Lukas had to go back home and Mathias had to make sure no one drinks the poisoned water. So, after getting a good grip of each other, they let go.
"You should go home now, Lukas." Mathias said looking at the boy.
"You too. See you soon, Mathias." After saying that, Lukas left, leaving Mathias alone.
A couple of days have passed since the two last saw each other and today, Mathias decided to call his friends to tell them something...
"So, what do you have to tell us, Mathias?" Asked Tino, kinda worried.
"I wanted to say that you have all been good friends to me so now, if I'm doomed to die, at least I could die happily knowing that you guys know how much I love you all." Mathias said with a smile that, for the first time, didn't show pure happiness, but sadness.
Lukas looked down. How could he say such things with a smile on his face? He tightened the grip around his brother's hand.
Emil noticed it. He noticed his brother's sadness and he let go of his hand and walked towards Mathias and slapped him.
"How dare you say such a thing? If you die, who is going to make out with my brother? I'm still waiting for my nephew you know! (A/N what the hell, Emil?) You think it's easy to listen him talk about you whole day long than you say you'll die and now I'll have to listen to him crying about how you left him! And I want my nephew to be a boy! Do you understand?" Emil screamed and rised his hand to hit Mathias one more time when he saw a smile on Mathias' face.
"Do you really care that much?" He said with tears steaming down his now red cheek. Just how strong is Emil really?!
"Of course we do, idiot!" Said Tino, now crying himself and went to hug Mathias together with Berwald.
The only one not joining the hug was Lukas. He just stood there with his head still lowered. Tino caught the idea that they might want some time alone so he pulled Berwald and Emil away from the two.
When the three left, with Emil protesting, Lukas ran up to Mathias and hugged him.
"Don't say anything like that ever again. You scared the life out of me, I love you so much, you're not allowed to die." Lukas said with tears rolling down his cheek and unto Mathias' shirt.
"I love you too and I promise I'll never say anything like that ever again." Mathias replied also with big tears steaming through his cheeks.
"Let's go join the others, I need to kill my brother."
Poor Emil, he's doomed.
