If one day a sudden attack happens on Earth, wiping all of humanity: all crippled and destroyed. What if those who destroyed your planet you live in like the rest of humans were aliens? Sounds ironic, but much to a boy's dismay...He was caught by those aliens, and sent to some place called "Anakt Garden"
On his first few days there, he only felt rage and anger towards everyone and everything; worst thing is that he gets isolated and beaten up everyday! what a pain.
This boy's name is Till.
One day, while Till was roaming around the Anakt garden trying to get away from his lessons he heard giggles, he stopped his tracks and took a peak behind a tree to be met with two girls playing together, one had a black bob cut hair while the other had a pink long hair. Though Till could only see the back of those girl he still remained there watching them. The girl with pink hair moved her body a little same with the girl with black hair, both of their voices or rather their giggling in sync as they play together.
When they both turned around Till saw 3/4ths of the girls' face. When he saw the pink girl's face he was astonished...he's never seen anyone with such a beautiful smile.
He continued to just watch those two girls, admiring the girl with pink hair. He wanted, no– he needed to know who she is.
Soon enough he was caught and was dragged back to the place where he's jailed and isolated with nothing but just himself, this time and day was different though, instead of feeling lonely and alone like the usual he felt a fluttering feeling he didn't know what it was but he picked up papers and his flute and started composing songs to his heart's content.
The 3 days he would look for the girl and watch her in secret and whenever he isn't he'd write songs, though not all of it are dedicated to the girl most of them are.
Suddenly a bunch of Aliens stepped inside the room where Till is and harshly grabbed both of his arms forcing him to stand and forcefully drag him out, all of the students were standing there and he saw the girl again, this time the girl also saw him; they lock eyes and the girl just smiles at him causing Till to blush and look away to the sides just avoiding to look at the girl. He was placed in the line, the instructor or their teacher smiled seeing everyone here is already complete "alright shall we start?" she asked and scanned everyone waiting for their response, everyone agreed and they all spent an hour there just singing.
After all that Till and the other students left, he was all alone just standing there while looking at the ground, or rather the grass he was zoning out only remembering every single detail of the girl named "Mizi". He snapped back to reality and hurriedly started looking for Mizi and there he saw her surrounded with a bunch of students while holding a flower crown happily with a wide smile on her face, it made Till more flustered than he already is.
"Ah my flower crown!" mizi yelled as the flower crown she was holding flew, she chased after it trying to get it. Till was to slow to process and think things so he immediately followed mizi to an unknown place, everything there was dark and eerie.
An Alien then comes out of nowhere in the dark and attacks Till, Mizi watched everything in horror as Till's getting bruised everywhere from the alien barely even having the strength to stand up and fight back anymore.
Rescue finally came and they all helped Till from the alien "are you alright!?" Mizi ran to where Till was looking worried and concern for the guy, Till nodded and blushed knowing Mizi is worried of him and he avoided her gaze as much as possible.
In the other hand another boy named Ivan also attended Ankat Garden. Ivan is a very quiet and obedient child, on top of that he's always favored by the aliens because of his spectacular talent for singing. Ivan was reserved and had no friends nor does he try to socialize anyways.
There are exceptions though, one day after lessons he's seen standing to one place blankly staring at god knows what, then a flower crown flew in front of him followed by a guy running somewhere, a restricted place where no students are allowed to go, he saw what the guy looked like: He had a grey-ish hair and face all battered, he was intrigued and wanted to know more about this oddly weird guy so he followed him inside secretly, then an attack soon came in the guy was now limping and his body was all weak and besides him was a girl that looked shocked and terrified. Ivan just stared blankly with no emotions just watching and observing the grey haired guy.
When he heard footsteps of multiple people he hurriedly went out and went on his day pretending as if nothing happened, still he needed to know more about that guy, he's never been desperate to know someone which he finds odd but at the same time this grew his interest on the guy. And so the next day he looked for the guy only to find him all alone and playing with his flute in a peaceful place, Ivan listened to it waiting for him to finish.
clap clap clap "That was wonderful, I didn't know you'd be this good when it comes to music. You should attend classes more, the teachers there might love you" Till flinched at the voice he hears from behind and turns around to see a guy with black hair slowly get close to him, Ivan sits beside him and looks at him while grinning showing his little fang and his eyes shaped like a crescent "Ivan, you?" he tilted his head while genuinely asking for the grey haired guy's name.
Till hesitated but eventually mumbled out his name, Ivan had to clear everything on his mind and focused on Till's response from how inaudible Till's voice is "Till..." Ivan's grin grew even wider "Till? nice name, wanna be friends" Ivan looked him dead in the eye which sent shivers down Till's spine "Sure?" he probably would leave me eventually so there's no harm in agreeing he thought and shrugged very sure of himself.
Ivan smiled softer this time and the two boys spent their day together, Till didn't know he'd get along with this guy which is kind of unexpected.
A sudden thought flashed into Ivan's mind Till...he's been suffering quite a lot and he seemed like someone that would enjoy freedom only, I wonder if he already tried escaping before Ivan hummed while staring at the dark sky with a bunch of stars shining through his window, he pictured what the earth would look like, the real blue skies that aren't fake unlike those seen in the Anakt garden, he thought about what life were like if he lived in the earth right now, with till beside him and slowly he closed his eyes while drifting to sleep "Till..." he murmured before completely sleeping.
After his dream the next day he visited Till secretly and released him from all the cuffs around him securing so he wouldn't be able to free himself, Till woke up from his nap and saw Ivan infront of him "hey, wanna get out of this hell?" Ivan offered a hand, Till was confused and didn't know what he meant nor does he know what to say so he slowly held Ivan's hand and Ivan dragged him somewhere.
Both of them laughing as they keep getting closer and closer, finally they reach the place where the skies were red with a mixture of yellow and orange blend together shining brightly glimmering on both their eyes not giving a single a care of anything just laughing and enjoying everything like a free soul. Then a sudden realization hit Till sobering him from his drunken fantasy, he let go of Ivan's hand and started slowly backing away "what?" Ivan stopped also looking behind at Till wondering what happened "Mizi...I can't leave Mizi here, I'm sorry" before Ivan could answer Till ran off leaving Ivan there, he smiled bitterly and sighed, he started laughing to himself.
"Of course he wouldn't leave Mizi, how selfish of me to think only about the two of us let alone imagine a future of only the two of us together without a worry of the world" he continued to laugh and eventually went back also.
