People are made out of elements. Some are made of winds and clouds, others made of plants, some made of fire.
then there’s Craig. Craig was made up of all water. As he saw it, life was fine. Elements were usually separated by their element type to avoid accidents, so life was easy.
But it was when Craig and his friends were playing along the edge of the water elemental city, that he met a boy comprised entirely of fire.
That boy was named Tweek. Tweek was an energetic guy, one that Craig had never seen. Afterall, Craig had never seen a fire elemental before. But the light and flicker of flames captivated him. So, they began talking and playing along the edges of their cities.
—————————————————
It’s been years since they met. now, both boys were teens— 17 years old to be exact. And Craig realized he loved that fiery guy, but Fire and Water don’t mix. Touching was enough to cause searing pain. They could never hold hands, never kiss.. but Craig didn’t care. He was just happy to be with Tweek.
and they were sitting in the same spot as always, just on the edge where their cities connected, in an isolated area. And Craig must have been zoning out, watching the way Tweek’s flames flickered and roared to life. Because when Tweek ask a question, Craig raised his head off his hand, moving to actually sit up a bit more properly.
“Hm?”
