Seto tried to look at the ground. But he just couldn't. He kept glancing up at everyone rushing by him. The numbers. No matter how many times Seto blinked or winked they just wouldn't disappear. Of course the tall buildings had no numbers. The city didn't. Just living organisms.
As Seto looked at the ground he saw a dandelion growing through the cracks of the cemented ground. 000:00:00:01. The plant was then crushed by a slender looking man with shaggy brown locks of hair. Seto shuddered at it's death as the man continued without even acknowledging the flower's existence.
Cruel was a good word to describe humans. Yes.
Seto went on his way as merrily as he could, without even taking a glance at the killer. The sorcerer looked at the other people. 045:03:05:05. 004:28:12:45. 122:07:59:01. Seconds after minutes after hours after year.
It was horrific.
Seto got a glimpse of his friend, Ty, who was skipping next to the street. 005:13:27:09. His friend would die in 5 years. 5. He wanted to tell people. But most would call him insane. So he kept his mouth shut. The least he could do was hide his pained expression from the numbers.
Seto scurried down wishing to get out of the crowds. Correction begging, not wishing. That was until a certain male caught his eye. He had blond hair that defied gravity, blue sparkling eyes the color of a deep ocean blue. He had perfect tanned skin and the cutest fa-....what? I'm straight right? Seto questioned. Last time he checked he was.
Either way the young boy was entranced in the new male in front of him. So he followed him. Seto was careful, unlike most. He made sure he didn't seem odd or weird. The brunette froze when he finally noticed the numbers.
000:01:09:00.
The blondie would only live for another hour. Seto decided he would save the boy. From whatever was coming at him. The boy was too young and healthy looking to die of age or disease. The brown eyed boy kept looking around his surroundings for danger.
After sometime the older male began crossing the street. Seto finally saw it. A speeding car.
000:00:00:05.
04.
03.
02.
Seto ran up and tackled the boy before he could get hit. Before either one of them new Seto lay on him, their lips connected in an open mouth kiss. The blondie's eyes widened as well as the 15 year old's.
Seto immediately pushed himself off of him and apologized a profuse amount, standing up. That was until the boy on the ground got up and put two fingers under his chin, lifting it up.
"It's ok," he smiled, "what's your name? Mine's Brice." Seto found himself staring into 'Brice's' eyes.
"S-Seto." The brunette mentally face palmed at the stutter. That when he realized. There were no numbers on the taller boy's head. He looked to a small group of people no numbers. More humans. No numbers! Seto suddenly hugged Brice tight, shocking him.
"Thank you," Seto mumbled into Brice's shirt.
"Uhhh you're welcome?" The shorter boy giggled and pulled away with a bright grin on his face.

Brice and Seto became great friends after the incident. They talked and talked until Brice asked Seto to be his boyfriend, sense he was bi. Seto said yes, realizing he was gay. It had only been two weeks after they met though. Love at first few weeks? Another something to question was that Brice was 21. Seto 15. It wasn't pedophilia but could be accused of such. They kept their relationship a secret.
Anyway at the moment Seto was following his second closest friend, Adam or Sky. Once they reached Adam's bedroom the entered and got on his bed. The shorter brunette raised an eyebrow, saying nothing.
"I-I'm seeing numbers on people heads and it won't disappear."
Seto bit his lower lip. There was no way Adam could ever find someone to save. Or at least that's what Seto thought made them disappear.
"....I had them too....until I saved Brice that is....."
Sky's eyes widened at the very words.
"No way....did you....make...."
The younger brunette kept his mouth shut. Did he do that to Adam? If he did then he's a terrible person. Seto shouldn't have rescued Brice from the gruesome death. But Brice would've died if I hadn't...... Thoughts began swarming into the mocha orbed boy frowned and tried to block the voices in his head that were beginning to fight with each other.
Should he have done that? It is kind of selfish. What if Brice doesn't like him? What if this whole relationship is a sick joke? Seto was snapped out of his thoughts when Adam spoke up.
"Earth to Seto?" Adam questioned, waving his gloved hand in front of the 15 year old's face, worry laced in his expression and voice. Seto blinked a few times before finally explaining.
"The numbers tell you when someone will die," the sorcerer whispered, sounding like he might cry any second. Though his face was solemn. After a few minutes of Adam just thinking of the information given to him his eyes getting glossy.
"Ty's gonna die in five years?!"
Seto nodded slowly, a sorrow sigh tugging at his lips, as he looked downwards to his lap. His head shot up once the 'butter' eyed male choked on a sob. Seto's eyebrows tilted upwards as he wrapped his arms around Sky, enveloping him in a warm embrace.
"Y-you're gonna die in 20 years..." Adam trailed off his tear streaked face getting flooded again.
"And you're gonna die in 45 years, calm down, it's alright," the mocha eyed boy muttered to his friend, patting Adam's back. Sky began crying hysterically and buried his face into Seto's chest.
"So you're going to have to extricate somebody as well."
