1 A beautiful day

The orange and yellow light of the sun sneaking into the room turning everything it touches into golden , kissing her brown skin gently as she painted the white and humming as if she is whispering to the paper saying everything will be okay . Beside her the boy with golden hair was not enjoying his time sitting doing nothing , his dark brown eyes were looking at the young black haired lady wondering about the things they could have been doing at the moment instead of just sitting and painting .

" Sandra may I ask a question ? " the boy asked looking at the paper which was halfway colored , the girl hummed as if she is giving him the permission to ask " How can you enjoy sitting there doing nothing ? " he frowned waiting for their eyes to meet , a small giggle escaped the girl's lips " I am doing something " she said her eyes still on the paper " aren't you , like , bored ? " he add lying on his back sighting as loud as he can as a sign of boredom " why would I feel bored ? I think there's nothing more beautiful than giving a life to something that was blank " a laugh escaped the boy's lips as he looked at Sandra " now you are going to talk in poetry ? you are so dramatic , I don't think putting colors over a paper is like giving life to something . If you want to we can save one instead " Sandra sighted as she put her paper down to look at the tall boy lying beside her " of course going looking for trouble is way funnier " he raised an eyebrow at her " looking for trouble ? saving someone from a killer or a monster that was about to eat him alive , or saving someone that got stuck inside an old castle , or exploring some beautiful yet dangerous places that full of hungry ghosts is not looking for trouble " he said all at one " someone that's getting killed by a monster or a killer is non of your business , exploring some beautiful yet dangerous places ain't fun either , you know why ? " the boy waited for an answer " these monsters that you saved people from can comeback and eat you instead and hungry ghosts will eat you as well , John " the boy now sat down to face her " well you are completely wrong , saving people is the most beautiful thing you can ever do , because you were a reason to continue their life instead of letting them die , and yes it is my business because I have the power to help them , so it's my duty to help the weak ones , and if I am dead because of hungry ghosts then I will die happy " he said again in one breath , now he was annoyed , he never understood why Sandra thinks helping others is lame and useless like a waste of time . He knew she wasn't evil , she did something bad to someone or dare to hurt a fly , yet helping others is also something he never witness . Sandra only shrugged and looked back at her paper " so what do you want to do ? " Sandra asked while putting back her tools in her bagpack , " let's cook something I'm hungry " he said " fine " she answered already standing up making her way to the kitchen .

John never asked her the reason behind her disliking for giving hand to the others , she always cut the conversation if this subject was in it . He tried to understand why but to him saving people is the reason why he is alive , it gives his life a meaning . Sometimes he wonder if she is grateful for saving her that night , although she refused to come along with him she was so ready to die that night , but being the hero he is he refused to let young lady die , especially the way she was going to die . He even brought her to his home , he never brought someone in here , he was all alone and fine with that , although helping others was his pleasure yet having them with him as friends is not something he would ever do , not again , yet he broke his rule and brought her home . He always wonder if someday he was in need of help , was she going to break her rule and give him a hand ? or she will just work according to her rule of not helping people .

These thoughts sometimes keep him awake at night , although he is a hero himself but needing help is not something he denies , everyone is strong but you can't stay strong forever , everyone needs everyone at some point at least . She do helps him in the house chores , she keeps his swords and weapons sharp, she even helps him in cleaning his cuts and heal it , she never went with him on an adventure before , will she be able to save him if he was threatened ? or will she ever tries to ?

John never asked her either , maybe because he is afraid that the answer is 'no' or maybe because he does not believe in words but in actions . So evertime he has this conversation with himself he end it with ' someday I will know ' and fall asleep somehow .

John is a very strong knight , that what Sandra knows , it's not the only thing she knows , John is a very open book , very honest for his own good . but Sandra isn't , she is a closed book , sometime too closed for her own good.
