In another universe

1.

" Never trust anyone my dear aguero."
That sentence still hunts him till this day.

Khun Aguero Agnis an abandoned son from the Khun family, the ten great families. When he was 9, he was thrown out of his family for not participating in school leading him to failing his classes and expelled. His family was not too happy about it, so on that exact day. They threw Augero out, of course aguero did not care he brought it to himself, thus he wandered through the thick white snow, each step he took the snow crunched sounds and his hot breath turning cold at the
speed of light, he has the minimum clothing to survive in such cold situation.

What felt like hours of walking through the snow, he stumbled across a crave. It was dark but right now he needed shelter to survive in such weather. He hurriedly ran towards the cave. Although he was not a big fan of dark spaces, right now all he thinks about is warmth.

He needed warmth for his cold body especially his hands that were icey to the tips of his fingers. He was deep into the cave still running, he did not know how deep he went into the cave but when his energy went out, he stopped and panted, he was tired all he wanted was to start a fire and feel warm but as he looks around he did not find a single material to make a fire, he let out a deep sigh and collapsed on the cold hard stone flooring, it felt like the same feeling when he was back at home. Laying on the titles while reading a book, he missed that feeling, no. He did not miss it, he hated how similar it felt but right now, he could not lift a single muscle in his body. Right now he was laying on the ground, lifeless with heavy breathing.

He's cold. Too cold

It's been a few hours since he passed out. Aguero felt a warm feeling on and near his body, he shot his eyes open and felt a blanket on top of his body. " How did a blanket get here?" He wondered and turned his body towards a flaming fire that he was placed not so close to, " you're awake!" A strange yet familiar voice appeared out of nowhere, aguero froze and turned his head to where the voice was coming from. White snowy long hair with bangs covering her forehead, icy blue eyes same as his and a warm bright smile, blue cloak and a white turtleneck. Ah, he knew who it was. Maria khun, his half sister or his cousin. Technically she was his cousin but ever since his family brought her in, she was his sister, biologically.

" How are you feeling, aguero? I saw you passed out on the floor, are you okay? Are you feeling warm? Please tell me if you're still cold. I'll give you my gloves and coat so you can warm up!", that sweet soothing and calming voice, the voice that makes all his muscles and expressions soften. Augero smiled and looked at her, " I'm fine Maria, but what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?"

Maria let out a soft chuckle and looked at him, " Dear Aguero, school was over an hour ago! I heard you were kicked out of the house and went looking for you! I don't want anything to happen to my baby brother after all!" He let out a soft sigh and glared at her, " Can you stop treating me like a child? Just because I'm younger doesn't mean you can treat me like a child! I'm way more mature than you."

A laugh came out of Maria's mouth and all Aguero could do was to stare at her, " Hey! What's so funny?" He shouted at her angrily, out of all things why was he the younger sibling! If he was the older one Maria could have taken him seriously. " Ahaha! My dear Aguero you're so funny, you're still not matured yet! Haha!" Maria who was still laughing nonstop, Aguero felt his cheeks burning and he crossed his arm, letting a " hmph" escape from his throat. He stared at the laughing figure in front of him, his expression softened by the laughing Maria he was looking at. "So why did you decide to find me?" He asked as the laughing figure started to stop, she smiled and put her warm hand near Aguero's cold cheek,
" I was worried that you won't be able to survive in such conditions, it's also snowing heavily, I thought if you didn't find any shelter you would've died in the snow and it hurt to see you die at such a young age, I care a lot about you my dear younger brother."

He looked at her and a light appeared in his eyes, a teardrop rolled down from his eye to his cheeks and dropped down from his chin. Maria noticed the glistening teardrop from Aguero's eyes and she immediately wiped the tears off his eyes, " my dear aguero! Don't cry, please don't cry."

At that moment he was pulled into a hug and it felt warm and homey, he hugged her back and cried into her shoulder. Maria reassured him that no matter what she would not leave him. From that day, they spent years in the cave together, with each other neither of them were getting tired, all they needed was the other to be by their side.

Or so Aguero thought.
