Midnight Sparks

The Fairy Doctor

Ezra

The sun peaked through the ever so small crack between the curtains. Ezra was exhausted as he didn't arrive home until 3 in the morning and had now only gotten 4 hours of sleep. Unfortunately, Laura wasn't the type to use 'tired' as an excuse to skip school.

"I've left breakfast downstairs. Don't be late for school!"

Ezra groaned as he shifted in his bed, he slowly opened his eyes but felt like crap as he didn't manage to get a wink of sleep. He spent the whole night thinking about the small light. He hadn't told anyone about his experience cause he didn't know how to explain it himself.

Ezra got up and took a freezing cold shower to help him become fully awake, he put on some jeans with a red sweatshirt, along with a backwards cap. When he went downstairs a delicious breakfast was waiting for him but he wasn't in the mood. Laura had left earlier for work so he took the advantage of Laura being away to only eat an apple and quickly leave to get to school. 

At school Ezra met with Tyler who was beaming with his usual happy attitude.

"Hey! What the....you look depressed."

"I feel like it. I spent the whole night training, I didn't get much sleep."

"Damon beat you too hard?" 

"No I dreamed-" 

Ezra remembered what happened yesterday and his face started to heat up again. He placed his forehead on his locker while he tried to hide the blush that was on his face. "I want to jump off a bridge." 

"Wow, calm down now."

Ezra sighed in embarrassment. 

Tyler watched in curiosity, although he could only see the side of Ezra's face, he saw that the boy was blushing hard and looked embarrassed. It was the first time seeing him in this state and he couldn't help but find Ezra cute. 

"Why are you acting like a helpless puppy?" 

Ezra mumbled something. 

"What?" 

"Because of ....."

"What was that? I can't hear you." 

"Because of Cain!"

"Why did he do something to you?" 

"Yes he did! It's like everywhere I look he's always there. He keeps popping up in my dream vision thing and he acts so nice to me! And it's pissing me off."

A smile grew on Tyler's face. "You like him, don't you?"

A realisation hit Ezra in the face and for a split second he must have thought that he was going crazy. "No! It's just my instincts telling me that he's dangerous to be around."

Tyler looked at him like he was crazy. "What are you on about? The signs are obviously telling you that you like him. Even I think that he's a good guy." 

"I barely know him."

"But you dreamed about him." 

"I-It wasn't like that."

"Then what was the dream?" 

"H-he was just there." 

"Well did he say or do anything?

"No, he just smiled and was his handsome self." 

"Oh so you think he's handsome?" 

"No. I meant that he-"
