The world holds mysteries-both its own and ours.
But if no one knows ours... is it still a mystery?

Tom Riddle was born into this world with hope shining in his mother's eyes.

Namiya was not.

Tom Riddle grew into a natural leader. Even as a child, no one could cross him without consequence.
He fought. He redirected. He willed.

When the two meet, it isn't by design.
It is fate-refusing to repeat the same cycle.

If you wish to stop a burning fire, you cannot simply drown it.
You must wait, watch-and make sure it does no harm.

What keeps them together is not kindness.

It is curiosity.

And what separates them does not exist,
not until one of them decides it does.

Fair warning here my darlings, there will be underage sex.

And btw Wattpad kept switching long dahses to these ' - '. If you see those, it's actually a long dash. I've tried fixing it, but Wattpad changed it again. Hope you don't mind :)
