Can You Hear Me? (SetoSorcerer) (Book 1)

Chapter 5

Once Harvey left the room, I smiled and lifted up my hands. What had he done to me? I knew it wasn't his magic that did it as he seemed as surprised as I was when I felt his touch.

His hand was the first thing I've touched since he died, with Jordan. My hands would just go straight through him. It's so strange.

I had this weird feeling, when I touched his hand, I felt electricity run through the whole of my body. What did that mean?

I lay down on the bed, curling myself up into a ball. I was glad that I could touch things again, I just don't know how it happened. And the fact that he could see me. I saw the purple mist surrounded the room and tug at me, I guess that was his magic.

I felt my eyes start to droop as I lay on the bed, I don't know how I sleep if I am dead. But I roll with it, it's the closest thing to being alive I can be at this time.

I closed my eyes and let the peaceful feeling of sleep take over me.

-----------------

I awoke to the sound of the door opening, but I kept my eyes shut, just to see what he does. I hear footsteps approaching me, and I feel a hand on my forehead.

I open my eyes, he looks down and realises that I'm awake, he pulls his hand away and looks at me.

"You're so cold." He says, kneeling down next to the bed. Looking into my hazel eyes.

"I'm dead, my blood doesn't flow around my body anymore, I haven't felt heat in a while." I say, looking down at the bed.

"Maybe this will help" he says. And pulls me into a hug, I tense up at the sudden movement, but I feel something on my skin, it felt, warm. I was feeling his heat.

I melt into the hug, wanting more of the heat radiating from him. It was a feeling I hadn't felt for 20 years. I pulled away, realising how weird the situation was, I'd only known him a couple of hours.

He just wants to help me, from what happened before, it's obvious he knows that he is changing me.

I sat up on the bed, giving him room for him to sit too. I leaned against the wall, watching him climb up onto the bed.

"So... We should get to know each other a bit more, considering we're stuck together. Unless you want to move to a different room."

He shook his head, telling me that he was here to stay.

"I read your writing in that book, you just want a friend. And I'm willing to fit that role. I'm not going to abandon you, you aren't harmful."

I nodded and smiled. He wants to be my friend. I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable around him anyway, so it's good to know he won't leave. He held out his hand.

"My name is Harvey."

I held out my hand and shook his, enjoying the feeling of someone else once again.

"From what I've seen, I'm guessing the other boys don't know that apart from Ty?"

He looked at me, shocked, but then remembered and smiled. He brought his legs onto the bed and sat cross legged, facing me.

"That's true, I don't want the others to know. So they call me Seto as a nickname."

I looked at him with confusion.

"Where on earth do you get Seto, from Harvey?"

He shrugged.

"How do you get Dick, from Richard? It's a name from my YouTube channel, SetoSorcerer."

I tilted my head to the side a little bit, making him raise my confusion.

"What is YouTube?"

"Well, it's a site where people post videos for others to watch. I record from a game called Minecraft."

I shrug.

"I've missed out on so much, everything anyone tells me is going to make no sense."

Harvey shook his head. He looked out of the window and then smiled at me.

"It's late, I'll show you the stuff you need to know tomorrow. We should get some rest."

I looked around, my eyes landing on a chair on the other side of the room, I stood up and headed towards it.

"What are you doing?"

I pointed to the chair and he rolled his eyes.

"This has been your room longer, it's a big bed, we can both sleep in it. If that's okay with you..."

I nodded in agreement, the feeling of embarrassment sunk inside me. Wait, I haven't had this feeling for a while.

I climbed into bed and pulled the cover over me. Seto stood up to get changed so I turned and faced the wall.

A little while later I felt the covers lift and a warm feeling surround me. I look to see that Harvey had wrapped his arms around me, wanting me to have the feeling again.

I smiled and snuggled into him, falling asleep with the feeling that I haven't felt for over 20 years....

Happiness.
