"It was you all long."

Des POV

How could I not figure it out? Percy, the Percy I have known since I was four. That was the same Percy as the one I thought I only met five hours ago. Or six...

~flashback

"Who's there?"

I heard a clicking sound, someone was breaking into the house by picking the tumbler. I could tell. That what I did. I was siting in front if the merry-go-round, sketching it. I loved it. So I get territorial over it.

I took a heavy wooden stick and stood by the gate. A young boy opened it. Well actually, I could say he was young because he was older than me. I'm guessing around five. I swung the stick towards him but he caught it with his hands. We both end up falling down.

Geez.

I sprained my ankle badly, but I could bear the pain. On the other hand, the boy was not hurt severely , couple of scratches . The stick fell on my foot, causing it pain, stupid stick.

" Does it hurt?"

" Well it doesn't feel good."

I just had to do that. He chuckled a little and stuck out his hand , I grabbed it.

I stood up. Eventually. It took me so long, we both burst out laughing. He helped me sit down in front the merry-go-round again. He sat next to me, staring at my sketches.

" You do realize you are drawing a face, right?"

" First, offensive. Second, it's the merry-go-round.

He smiled and took the paper from me, and starting pulling his pencil up and down on the sheet. " I know, but if you try to see it differently , you can."

He passed it back to me, my jaw was unhinged . It was........me. I looked at him and back at the paper and back to him again. This continued for about five minutes or so. He laughed loudly, flashing his dimples. There were like holes in his face. Deep ones.

"How?"

That was a suitable question at that moment.

He said, " Although you don't know it, you leave a part of you in your sketches. You just need someone to show that to you."

" So you're implying that I need you?"

" Well, yes ."

I just stared at him, eyebrow raised , looking at his cocky smile. Until he said, " Can I stop smiling like this ? It's really tiring."

We burst out laughing , for the how many time? I lost count . I was four!

We talked on and on, like the best of friends.

" What should we call this place, Des?"

" Uhm, little city of-----------"

" Dreams? What do you think?"

" Well I have to oblige to the great Percy, don't I?"

" Yes, you do."

Thunder roared and we realized it was going to rain up a storm. He said," So we should go, I meet you here tomorrow, same time. Bye!"

I waved goodbye, already thinking about tomorrow . Little city of dreams.

He looked as confused as me, which was good because I don't want to be left alone.

But his face soften and fell, when he said, " You never came back."
