Chapter Text
"Norton, you stupid ass!"
Naib tried to jump out of the rainbow-colored water. Oh, that doesn't mean the water is beautiful. Precisely it's sewage water and it smells so bad, you can even see a rainbow color radiating from there. And guess what? Yes, Naib was swimming in that pool of water.
And of course all of this was Norton's fault, and that said person just laughs on the dry surface instead of helping.
Right now they are exploring an area called the Golden Wasteland. (After hearing the name at first, Norton's eyes sparkled because he thought he would find a lot of gold. He immediately invited Naib to accompany him to explore the area. Naib of course can’t let Norton wander around a new area by himself, so he agreed to tag along). The Golden Wasteland is a vast desert area with lots of sewage pipes leading to that land, making the water polluted, dark skies covered with smoke, and expanse of sand in green(?) color. Didn't know why it was still named Golden when there was no gold color in it.
They held hands while they flew in the sky, Norton responsible to lead their way because he has a better flight maneuver between both of them. But Norton is still Norton. Because of his fantastic landing, Naib ended up drowning in the waste water.
Naib tried to jump out of the dirty water to the stone where Norton stood. But his wings began to lose light and his strength weakened, leaving him with no energy to jump higher. "Norton! I'm serious! I can't jump up!" he said as he started to panic.
Before it became fatal, Norton immediately pulled Naib's hand, helping to lift the brunette’s tiny body to the dry surface. Naib coughed, tried to catch his breath because of the disgusting smell of the water that filled his lungs.
In the next instant, he started beating Norton.
"Norton, you're crazy!! Can’t you just fucking fly properly?!"
"Well, I did fly properly. It's your fault for landing in the water,"
“I’m sorry, my fault?! You landed on the edge of the land! Yes you can step your feet on the ground, but what about me?!”
Norton just responded to the anger with laughter. Naib huffed, tired of this pointless anger when the said person clearly felt proud for successfully bullying him. So they stayed at that position for a while, Norton’s light shone bright through his wings, warmness seeping to Naib’s body as his almost-dead wing came back to life again. Naib tried flapping it a few times, feeling his body and wing filled with light-- Norton’s light
"Better?" Norton asked.
Naib nodded. "Yeah."
"Let's continue our journey then," Norton extended his hand to Naib, and he accepted it, holding it tight, feeling a reassuring warm sips through their connected palm.
"Fix your landing skill next time,” Naib said as they walk towards the higher ground, seeing the horizon of desert waiting for them to explore.
"I will, I will~" Norton smiled and flapped his wings, carrying them both flying in the sky.
