The Moon and The Ocean

A loud sob escaped Ocean's lips and Moon turned her around. She was scared and crying. Seeing Moon, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. Moon felt bad for scaring her like that. He sat on the ground with Ocean on his lap. She kept crying and Moon rubbed her back soothingly. She buried her face in the nape of his neck, inhaling his scent. It calmed her down, Moon smiled, knowing his effects on her. He pecked her forehead and she stopped crying. He rubbed the tip of his nose on her cheek, her cheeks turned pink along with her nose. She was blushing. Ocean had never been with a guy before, Moon was the very first guy in her life. She put her head on his shoulder and Moon inhaled deeply. He was happy that finally he was with his Ocean. He cupped her face and wiped her tears by his thumbs. They both stayed like this for a while. Then Moon made her sit on the ground and went to pick up their bags. He returned with both bags and they spent the next few hours doing homework and preparing for their tests. Moon was attending all of his classes now, principal Albert was really happy seeing this. After when they were done with their studies, they both sat together, talking to each other. It was getting dark, Moon walked with Ocean as he didn't want her to get in any sort of trouble. It was a forest and it was getting dark. They walked back, Ocean waved at him and turned around to leave but stopped in her tracks. She turned back to Moon and went close to him, he had a questioning look on his face as he didn't understand why she came back. Moon froze and his mouth hung open when Ocean pecked his cheek and ran back to the Villa. He touched the spot with the tip of his fingers where Ocean pecked him. He smiled and went back to his Villa. Jack saw the way Ocean behaved with Moon. She came in and greeted Jack and Lora. Jack was happy to see his niece smiling like she used to smile, before her parents died. Ocean had her dinner and then she went back to her room. She changed into a loose shirt and laid down on her bed. With all the events with Moon, she drifted off.

Moon's heart was beating so fast when he reached his Villa. Zeus noticed that, and asked him the reason. Moon brushed it off and went to his room. He didn't eat anything and went to bed. He wanted to see her again, but that could only happen in the morning. Next morning Moon woke up all fresh. He took a quick shower and changed into Black jeans and gray t-shirt. He went downstairs and had his breakfast. Zeus was getting worried about his behavior, Moon used to wait for his brother and whenever he visited, they used to spend a lot of time together. But this time he was barely talking to Zeus. Moon bid his goodbyes and went to his car. Zeus asked his mother in curiosity.

Zeus: What is going on with him?

Maria: What do you mean?

Zeus: Why is he acting like this? Is everything okay?

Maria: Everything's fine dear. Your brother has a girlfriend now.

Zeus: Wait what?

Moon reached first at the lake and was waiting for Ocean. He was getting bored, so he decided to swim in the lake. He stripped off his clothes and jumped in the water. Ocean just heard a splash, like someone jumped in the water. She reached the lake side. She saw Moon's clothes but he wasn't there. She sat on the ground, knowing that he must be in the lake, swimming. Time passed by but he didn't come out. Ocean got worried but she couldn't do anything, she didn't know how to swim. She panicked and started calling him. At first Moon heard nothing, but then she screamed his name and it made its way to Moon's ears. He quickly went out. As he came out of water, Ocean quickly ran to him and hugged him tightly. Moon initially cursed himself and rubbed her back. She pushed him back and spoke in anger.

Ocean: What the hell Moon? What kind of sick prank was it?

anyone that he told his secret to Ocean or her life could be in danger. Ocean went back to home, but she couldn't focus on anything. After dinner she went to bed, she was scared of him. Next morning, Moon had his breakfast and then he left for school. Jack dropped Ocean at school. She ignored Moon all day, he tried to talk to her but she didn't let him. He was feeling really low by the end of the day. He asked Jake to drop him back to his Villa as he wasn't feeling well. Jake dropped him and he went straight to his room. He laid on his bed and drifted off. Zeus came to check on his brother, he was worried. He knew something was off about him. He wasn't eating well, he wasn't swimming, he didn't talk much. He sat at the edge of the bed, Moon was in deep sleep. Zues put his hand on his forehead and realized that Moon had fever. He
