episode 1 our meeting?

Krays-

I never thought i would be able to visit above....

I never was alowed to when i was younger it was forbidden for me, while i watched my brothers and sisters walk through the gates to above while i had to stay behind and train....

Was it because i didnt get my horns and wings till i was 6.

"𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘮 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘪 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩" i say as i walk through the gate, all i saw was blue and green light untill i was met with a weird sight.... Was that a ball of fire and why dies it burn my eyes when i look at it. "𝘖𝘸𝘸𝘸 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵" i say annoyed as i blink and looked away aggressively rubbing my eyes"𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙.... 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑠" says a voice behind me, i turn around to be faced with... Oh my god why does he have different colored skin some of it is white while the rest is fully brown?.... And oh my god why does he look just so..... Hot....

Krays-

Well that went well im now walking down third street towards my house and yes this house was originally use for my father snd sibblings but i get to use it.

I open the door to be met with a lavish house and i mean lavish its floors and walls are lined with gold which im not shocked my mum was addicted to gold  and i mean was shes now dead after she betrayed my dad and tried to murder him in his sleep after drugging him now shes dead and my dads in a coma which he is still in after 29 years.

I walk up to a room with my name on it and god dosent this look fucking sick im met with a king sized bed with gold laced silk sheets with very expensive clothes and curtains, i look around and find a bag that has are they school books? Oh god damn it i forgot i have to go to high school, to be honest this will be very different for me in our schools we get taught how go kill and fly while here we learn how to count numbers and read its weird but no body will know i literally cant read english.

Drew-

I’m still standing outside the café, staring at the door Krays just walked out of. A gold bar. A real gold bar. Who the hell even carries that around like pocket change? What kind of person does that? And why did I agree to this in the first place?

I shake my head and sigh, shoving my hands into my pockets as I start walking. I don’t even know where he’s from, what he does, or why he asked me out. Hell, I don’t even know why I said yes. Maybe it was the way he looked at me—like he knew something I didn’t.

I take a turn down a quieter street, away from the city noise. I need to clear my head.

As I walk, I pull out my phone, hesitating before typing:

"So... what’s with the gold bar?"

I stare at the message. Should I send it? Would that make me seem too interested? Too weirded out?

Before I can decide, my phone buzzes. A new message. From Krays.

"It's just money. Do you want one?"

I stop walking. What the fuck.

Krays-

I throw my phone onto my massive bed, laughing to myself. Drew’s reaction was exactly what I expected. Confusion. A little bit of fear. Maybe even some curiosity.

I take off my jacket and stretch, walking over to the tall windows overlooking the city. It’s weird being here, living in this house that was once filled with my family. It feels... empty.

I run a hand through my hair and glance at the school books on my desk. Ugh. I really don’t want to deal with this. Learning how to read English? Seriously? Back home, I was mastering aerial combat by age seven. Now, I have to sit in a classroom and pretend to care about algebra.

My phone buzzes again. Another message from Drew.

"No, I don’t want one. I just... who even ARE you?"

I smirk. Good question, Drew.

I pick up my phone, typing back:

"Wouldn’t you like to know?"

I toss the phone back onto the bed and fall onto the sheets, staring up at the ceiling. Tomorrow’s my first day at school. This is going to be... interesting.

Drew-

I stare at my phone, reading Krays’ response over and over again.

"Wouldn’t you like to know?"

Yeah, no shit, I would. Because nothing about him makes sense. The way he talks, the way he acts like dropping gold bars is normal, the way he asked me out like it was just a casual decision. And now, he’s messing with me.

I should just leave it alone. Pretend I never met him. But of course, I don’t. Instead, I roll my eyes and type back:

"Not really. Just curious why you carry literal treasure around like a wallet."

I hit send before I can overthink it and keep walking, heading toward my apartment. It’s nothing fancy, just a small place with a mattress on the floor and a fridge that barely works. Definitely not gold-bar levels of luxury.

My phone buzzes again.

"It’s not treasure. Where I’m from, it’s normal currency."

I stop dead in my tracks. Where I’m from.

Okay. What the actual hell does that mean?

Krays-

I smirk, watching the little "typing..." bubble pop up and disappear on my screen. Drew’s freaking out. Good.

I can’t help but enjoy messing with him. It’s too easy. He’s so... normal. A regular human just trying to get by. Meanwhile, I was raised in a world where gold is nothing and power means everything. He has no idea.

After a few seconds, my phone buzzes again.

"Okay, I’m gonna assume you’re either a rich kid, a con artist, or some kind of royal. Which one is it?"

I laugh out loud. If only he knew.

I type back: "None of the above." Then, after a moment, I add: "You’ll see soon enough."

I don’t wait for a response. Instead, I grab the schoolbooks and start flipping through them. The words blur together, useless and unfamiliar. Ugh. This is going to suck.

Tomorrow, I have to blend in. Act human. Act normal.

How hard can it be?
