His mother always believed in mythical creatures. Every night before she tucked him to bed, she told tales so otherworldly. It enthralled him how she knew all of those beings - their stories and what they are.
That time, Sasuke thought that he lived in an enchanted kingdom, a life of fairy-tale built from his mother's constant stories. Like everything he sees, he hears, he feels - it was all magical. He had everything.
Though, it ended rather early. The death of his family at the age of 7 gave him a melancholic and isolated life as he was illuminated by harsh truths. He unveiled the blindfold of his childish illusions, along it fell that majestic kingdom of his filled by his mother's love and fairytales.
Sasuke sighed in annoyance, slumping at his desk. The storm was especially strong this night as it also caused a black-out through the whole village. He dully watched the heavy pattering of rain outside his window. The wind was uprooting the flowers, almost like blowing the whole field away; tall trees were swaying from left to right; he can see some of his belongings being stolen by the storm but he doesn't care; and all in all, everything was dull and a little bit gloomy. What other things can he possibly do rather than "watching TV"?
His house felt disconsolate and cold. He felt lonely but it's not like he wanted company, he's just bored. He took a pen and decided to do his homework instead - something that he despised to do. No, he was not the type to slack around in his studies and fail. It was just that his research paper was subjected to a topic that he never really liked - Fairy tale creatures.
He frowned. What made that dope of a sensei of his to do such pathetic stuffs? What's the point on learning about make-up stories with ridiculously unrealistic beings? It felt stupid and at the same time impractical. He'll admit that he liked them, but that was long time ago. It all went past him ever since his family was gone... Fairy tales were senseless, nothing but a false hope.
Sasuke stared at the blank paper displayed in front of him, trying to come up with a good subject to start of his research. Writing down with practically nothing, he heard a small yet audible 'thug' at the window in front of him. It wasn't the strong rain. It was something like the sound of being thrown with countless chocolate-wrapped presents during Valentines. Sasuke shuddered at the thought of his fangirls that surrounded his house months ago. It took the authority to drag them away.
As he leaned closer, he saw a blinking purple light. He had to rub and blink his eyes again to make sure that he wasn't seeing things, and he wasn't. It was really a purple light.
The raven-haired boy kept on staring at it, and he swore he saw a tiny head. Maybe it was just an insect, a firefly perhaps, but as he kept on studying the strange light, he was sure he saw a human-like body structure. It was way too big and too different for it to be considered as a 'firefly'.
Out of curiosity, he didn't pay attention nor even care about the strong gust of wind that blew almost everything inside or the pattering rain that jabbered on his face as he slowly opened his window, focusing only at the purple light. He quickly took it and placed it on his desk.
'What is this thing?' he thought, greatly astounded.
He touched it but quickly retracted his hand away when he felt it move. Sasuke's eyes went wide as he watched it stand up and looked up at him. He can't believe what he was seeing. It was beyond of what he imagined it to be, so otherworldly. It wasn't real. He believed it wasn't real but there it was, staring at him with a soft nervous smile.
A fairy...? Or atleast that was what he believed to it be.
It took him several moments to register the situation he was into. He quickly got his magnifying glass and placed it front of the creature. The what-seemed-to-be-a-fairy had a light purple skin complexion dressed in a white flower that looks like a rose petal. Its hair was a shade of midnight blue and her eyes were a strange color of creamy white...Or lavender? But oddly enough, it didn't have a pupil.
Sasuke decided that the "thing" or fairy may be of their female kind, and he was still surprised that it didn't run away but upon his closer inspection, he noticed that its wings were broken in a wrinkle like appearance. She was shivering and kept on hugging herself. He then decided to touch it again, albeit carefully and he saw her wince in pain.
Sasuke kept on watching her, not knowing on what to do with the small thing in front of him. He vaguely remembers what his mother told him about fairies - that they were scary and fierce creatures and that they can be hurtful to any strangers that they may come across. But this, the one that kept on staring at him with her bizarre twinkling eyes wasn't like the ones he heard from his mother's story. It looked like that her tiny face was outlined with softness. Her little smile looked kind. Her eyes didn't show any indication of wild nor fierce nature. Instead, he saw familiarity and gratitude. She didn't even display the slightest sign of fear which the raven-haired boy find really odd and nerve-wracking.
He still didn't put down his magnifying glass as he saw her lips move. It was like she was telling something. Yet, it wasn't audible enough.
"What the hell?"
She didn't do anything after that. She just yawned, curled herself up and slept, shivering at the coldness.
Sasuke was left blinking at the sight. It freaking slept and he still can't believe that he was seeing an actual fairy. He was puzzled as to what to do. Should he throw it away? Report to it to the police? Sell it to the weird voodoo lady down the streets? Or let his cat eat it?
"Tch..."
Hesitating, he then decided to take the fairy in his hands and placed it in a warm pillow in his bed. He took his red scarf and wrapped it around her, making it her blanket.
Sasuke sighed. At least she looked cozy enough. He then lay down beside her, careful enough to not make the little creature wake up. He gave one last look before closing his eyes. Unlike before, Sasuke couldn't see clearly the contour of her face but right now...She looked so peaceful.
This night was mentally exhausting. Not only did it rain and had a black-out but he saw a freaking supernatural being that was only supposed to exist in made up stories! Tomorrow, he swore he'll find answers at some point. This time he'll rest. As he was about to be drifted away to the abyss of darkness, he felt something soft and small in his face...Like a hand gently caressing his cheeks.
"You saved me..."
Sasuke swore he heard something - a small pleasant-sounding voice that seemed tosooth his thoughts. Or maybe it was just a dream...But he didn't care. He didn'tcare about that stupid feeling inside his stomach. He didn't want to open hiseyes. He just smiled in his mind...Because, strangely enough, for the first time,he felt warm
