Hyro's POV:
I wake up the next day, all the negative thoughts were rushing to my head... I watched the sunset from my bed as tears rolled down my face. Why am I crying you ask? My life is terrible, my parents have abused me ever since my sister outed me at our aunts wedding, my sister has tried to kill me on several occasions, everyone I get close to dies. Must I go on? The reason everyone thinks I'm always happy is as they say 'The saddest people smile the brightest', I don't want people to feel the way I do, So I try to keep the good vibes coming.
I get ready and walk downstairs, my parents were already gone and my sister was passed out drunk so I just left for school.
As I closed the door I noticed something behind my apple tree in our garden, something shiny. I approach it, a topaz sun ring? Reminds me of the ring of Solhuo's legacy. Wait... No way this is the actual ring? The mythology isn't real is it?
***Deity Files 9: Solhuo,
Solhuo is the God of the Sun, Humanity, Technology, Happiness and Ice. A bright and accepting God who gifts humanity with the freedom of day as well as help onvent new tech for his beloved subjects. He is one of the main 12 Oneowan Gods and has a strange love for humanity. His Godly form is a Metallic Gold and White Angelic being with no facial features, although made of metal he is incredibly light. His mortal form is a pale boy with black hair and pale blue eyes, he wears a black jumper with a yellow smiley face on it. Being the god of humanity he has had a lot of romantic encounters, His favourite was a young man who looked passed the fact Solhuo was a God when he found out and loved him either way. And his Beast form is a Phoenix that burns as hot as the sun. He is a bisexual God with a preference of men.***
I put the ring of and a flash of light appears and the temperature gets colder. Multiple images of the God Solhuo flashes in front of my eyes. "Woah..." I stared at the ring, maybe I should keep this secret from everyone else... You know just til I figure this out.
I start walking and put my hands in my jacket. I was walking down the street when someone taps my shoulder. I turn around, and there he was in all his stunning beauty... Otto Harrison. The boy I've been pining over since year 7, and after 6 years he has finally noticed I existed.
"Oh- Hey Otto!" I said smiling. A genuine smile..? Yes I think so. But I can't get too close to him... I don't want him to get hurt because of me.
We talk all the way to school about the Oneowan Mythology. He was talking about a new monster he was working on. He was incredible at this stuff. He is amazing at everything in my opinion... I could talk about his perfection for days. I need to stop, he doesn't even like me... and even if he does I can't let him get in harms way. {This is why you're name sounds like Hero, You're willing to sacrifice your own happiness for others. You are definitely fit to be my Legacy.} A voice sounded in my head. 'Solhuo?' I thought and looked at the ring, all I see is my reflection smiling at me... the thing was, I'm not smiling.
We enter class and it was empty. "Huh. Where is everyone?" Otto asked. I looked around and shrugged. "Shit, It's Wednesday. We don't have class Wednesdays." Oh... I came to school for nothing. I was starting to think I should go home, but then. "So- Since we're already here..." I looked at Otto, he was rubbing his neck and his face was red... was he blushing? No. I must be imagining things... "You wanna like... I don't know- Hang out or something." He asked. I was stood in shock for a good 5 minutes. I don't know what to say... on one hand I really want to hang out with him. But what if he gets hurt... "Never-ending it was a stupid idea." Otto says and started heading for the door. My heart was pounding extremely fast. But... I let him go.
I open the door to my house and a boy with Black hair and a jumper with a smiley face on it was stood there. "Oh my gods- Who the hell are you?!" I ask.
"You're an idiot, you wanted to hang out with him but you didn't- Why?" Then it clicked, it was Solhuo.
"I don't want to hurt h-" I started but Solhuo cut me off.
"And do you not think he is hurt you didn't answer, he wanted to hang out with you, now and back in high school. All you do is run and hide. Take what you want for a change! You deserve happiness, not loneliness and abuse." He had a very valid point... but still. "I knownits hard for you, but just try it Hyro. Or you'll regret it." Solhuo vanishes and I walk out my door and run to Otto's house and knock on his door. A woman opened, I assume it was Otto's mom... but I've seen her before. She was a friend of my mom's. "Oh hey sweetie want to come in?" I rub my arm and shrug. She stretches her arm out to touch my shoulder and I flinched. I don't know why I did that, I'm an idiot, now she'll know somethings wrong. "Oh sweetie... I won't hurt you, your mom and dad are out of line! Being gay isn't a bad thing." I looked at her surprised, how is this woman friends with my mom? "You don't think I'm abnormal..? Or that I'm committing a sin?" She smiled and shook her head.
"Love is not a sin, you can't control who you like. In fact Otto is gay too." She said sounding rather proud of it. I enter with her and she makes me some cookies and milk. She's really nice. About an hour passes when I heard the door open. "MOM IM HOME!" Otto yelled from the doorway. I stood up and entered the hallway. "She went out to buy groceries." I leant against the wall and Otto looked at me confused.
"Hi Hyro? Why are you here..?" He asked. I tried to calm down and talk.
"I-i am sorry for not answering... and I'd love to hang out with you if it's not too late..." My heart was beating faster and faster the more I talk to him. He smiles softly, "Ye sure, I want to show you something." He grabs my hand and leads me out of his house.
