Summertime Sadness [ Mobile Legends Fanfic ]

Chapter 2: Companions

"Did you watch the match yesterday, Alucard? Madness, right?". Franco said to me as soon as he saw he came out of my house.

Franco was a nice big guy. He lived next door to me, in a lovely two-stage-house with his wife and his only son. He said he was a cop once. Rumors said he was once a mercenary doing dirty job for the government. Although his appearance was quite intimidating, he was a very kind man and devoted husband, unlike his wife who was always cold as ice.

And his biggest hobby was watching and analyzing Rugby.

"Number 10 played really well. He carried all the team. I knew he was born to play Rugby. But again, his teammates sucked as fck. Serious, how did they got selected when they didn't even know how to throw the ball properly?..."

To be honest, I was not really into Rugby. It was too violent to my likings. But I loved to hear him rambling about his favorite team even though I didn't understand any shit. The way he narrate the match was very fascinating. He really had a way to get the other's attention.

Out of the blue, there was a young guy coming from Franco's house, catching all his attention.

"Ah, there he is. Alucard, meet my pride and joy, Harley". Franco said proudly and dragged his son to his arm, stroking his head, making his hair look nothing more than a mop.

"Hey, dad don't touch the hair". Harley said annoyingly while trying to break free from his dad's grip. But it was a futile attempt.

"Oh, come on, you used to like it when you was young, Haha.".Franco joked with his son. But apparently, his son didn't appreciate the joke.

"Stop all this nonsense, old man. And stop calling me Haha. I'm so sick of it."

Harley was Franco son. He didn't have any siblings. Being the only child made him a real asshole. He was famous for his reckless and impudence. Yet on campus, he was a chick magnet . Harley the fuckboi-they said. I didn't know what they saw in him but apparently, those young ladies were charmed by his callousness. Oh, and he was good at doing magic too. The girls even called him Oz-the great and powerful. I guessed he did cast a spell upon those girls. Being reckless as he was, I wasn't sure if there is anything he wouldn't dare to do.

"You are coming to school today?" Franco asked, reluctantly let his son go.

"Where else should I go, dad? Final exam is around the corner." Harley said. As soon as being released from his father's vice grip, he took out his mirror and checked his hair. "Geez dad, next time be careful with my hair. It took me hours to get it done". He lamented.

"My child grew up so fast". Franco said, suddenly became too emotional "Sooner or later he will leave me to start his own life."

"Ugh, not again Dad...". Harley rolled his eyes.

"Then he will forget this pathetic dad who always embarrass him". Franco continued his self-pitying monologue. "Then finally I will have to live in solitude till the rest of my life. Completely be forgotten...".

"Geez, Dad, stop it." Harley interrupted before his dad can finished. "I'm still your son, dad. Don't be so dramatic."

"I know, son. But I just couldn't help myself." Franco said and wiped his dried eyes. "Harley, will you promise that you never leave me?, That you never leave this old man?"

Harley rolled his eyes again. "Yeah, dad, I will, I will." He complied. "Great, you embarrass me again." He said under his breath.

Franco mood suddenly lighten up. He grabbed Harley's arm and hugged him again "Ah, that's my boy. Come here."
