Teika x Nixy

Not Meant To Be

Nix came up for air after her long swim.

"Phew." She said.

She loved to swim. She wasn't talented like most the students here at the school. But she's haired by the school to do all the cleaning.

"I feel so much better." She said as she got out of the pool.

As she dried off, she could hear singing.

She looked out seeing the one person she'd never imagine near her pool.

"Teika." She said.

The tall man looked up to where she was standing.

"Nix." He said.

No smile came from him. But Nix smiled at him.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"I was just hearing your singing voice as I finished my swim." She said.

"And?"

"I love it. You really do have a beautiful voice. You shouldn't be straining yourself over it." She said.

He glared at her. "And you shouldn't be swimming for how long you do, and yet you still do it." He said.

Nix just shrugged. "Well, if you are bothered by anyone, you can come here. Not like I do much talking anyway." She said.

Teika raised a brow at her as she disappeared behind the fence.

Nixy took a deep breath. She always was so nervous around him. How could she do her swimming if he ever came here and practiced his singing?

What had she done? She was so going to have a break down.

A few hours later Nixy was cleaning up the yard.

"Look at her."

"I hear she has NO talent what, so, ever."

"She must be joking if she thinks she'll last long here."

Why did everyone have to be so rude. Looking at her like she's Cinderella or Oliver Twist.

Nixy was talented. But it didn't matter to anyone. All she did was swim. Which was more of a sport.

Her parents had talent, but she didn't get either one of theirs.

She was just, Nixy.

"It's not nice to talk about someone else when they are in ear shot, or behind their back." It was Teika.

Nixy was surprised he defended her.

The other students walked away.

"You didn't have to." She said.

"No one should be behaving like that." He said.

Funny. Since he did that same thing to another girl didn't he?

"That offer still stand?" He asks.

Nix smiled. Nodding to him he walked away.

"Now?" She asked seeing what direction he was walking in.

"Yes. I need to practice." He said.

Nixy finished her cleaning and ran right after him.

"You really don't need to." She said.

He ignored her.

Nixy couldn't help it. As he began singing she lost herself in the sound of the water of the pool and his voice.

There was a few times she caught herself singing along.

"You have a nice voice." Teika said suddenly.

"What? Oh. Was I- Sorry. I keep forgetting my place." she said.

"Place? you are a student here. And a hard worker. You are on our ground." He said.

"I have no talent. I'm not you."

"You do have talent. You just chose to not use them." He says.

"Like I really have any. I'm no singer like you are. I don't make dresses. I don't play any instrument. I don't have anything but swimming. I'm not like you or my parents. I'm nothing special." She said.

"You are a great swimmer. That is your talent." Teika said.

"That's nothing."

"It is. It's something that you are good at. Does it matter if you make the same "magic" we all do?" He asks.

Nixy takes a deep breath. "I'm no royal princess like you are a prince." She says.

"That's not-"

"I'm going to go." She said walking away from the pool. He didn't understand.

Nixy just couldn't do it. She wasn't like all the other girls. She was just not meant to be in this life.

The End

No happy ending for them. Oh well.

Hope you like it though.
