Chapter 1
Losing is fun
-Randy Random
What could go wrong? Silver thought to himself as he snuggled his face into Tessa’s soft, curly long hair, pulling her back close to his body as his hands wrapped around her waist.
It was early autumn, the weather was cooling, the sun was setting and the tall grass of the temperate meadows provided privacy from the eyes of his father and hers. They were resting after a long day of ’hanging out’ in the wild.
Gone were the days they played hide-or-seek in the forests, tag in the untamed fields or even feeding the rather reclusive herd of Thrumbos they stumbled upon years ago. They were friends back then, trying their best to maximise the fun they had while their parents were not watching. Now they are lovers, trying their best to hide their love from their parents whom they know will disapprove of their feelings.
It was approaching nightfall soon and Silver ‘accidentally’ forgot that he had sword lessons with his father as he was too busy ”finding some daisies in the wild”. Oh well, if the worst comes to the worst, it will be pushed back till tomorrow. Now though, he was trying his best to pretend to sleep, hoping she wouldn’t wake up from her beauty nap.
He wished too hard. Soon enough, as the moon was slowly creeping onto the horizon, she gave off a cute noises like a cat as she woke up from her slumber.
She took one short glance at the moon
“Is it morning yet?” She whispered softly. The sarcasm in her voice, Silver couldn’t hide his blushing cheeks, he really loved her.
”No dear, it is close to morning.” Silver teased back. She smiled and giggled, they really had a sense of humour.
Tessa pushed her body close to Silver’s body, “I wish we can stay like this forever.”
Silver smiled as he pressed his face close to her cheeks, “Maybe we can, let’s spin a tale, tell them that we got lost at night while trying to hide from a man-eating bear.”
”You know that lie wouldn’t work anymore,” She replied as she lightly pushed his face away and yawned, “best to start heading back now.” She said so as she got up and neaten herself.
Silver also got up and pulled his shirt to hide the wrinkles as both of them prepared to leave.
”Same time, same place tomorrow?” She asked.
”Maybe later at night.” He negotiated.
”Alright then, see you soon dear.”
”You too”
Both of them kissed each other a good night lightly as they parted ways. The girl, back to her role as the heiress to the Stellach of the Shattered Empire. And a humanoid mechanoid to his human father with a rather unknown past.
