ℝ𝕀𝔻𝔻𝕃𝔼 𝕄𝔼 𝕋ℍ𝕀𝕊 ~ M.Rɪᴅᴅʟᴇ x H.Pᴏᴛᴛᴇʀ

Two boys.
Painful pasts.
Absent parents.
Both are hurt by the world.
Evil and good.

But who is evil and who is good, in a world such as this?

"𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏."

One shuts the world around them out, buried in books and knowledge that he'll never need.

The other surrounds himself with friends, striving to be better than the one who opposes him, better than he who killed his parents.

"𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔."

They meet in third year.
A task is given.

"𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑯𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒊𝒇 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒓𝒚."

Two detentions, scrubbing caldrons was never so entertaining.
They bicker like cats and dogs.

"𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆."

Getting along with someone has never been so difficult.
But they'll get there.
