Where Will the Waves Take Us

"Zephyr..." says the male figure in front of me, " You little bugger! Why did you slip out of my hand and disappear like that" he went on to say as Zephyr released his arms from around my neck and gestured to his brother to carry him.

" Welp I best be on my way, it was nice meeting you little one", I announced walking away

"Zulimar?"

I froze. How did he know my name I have never seen him before. I put a calm face and turn to face him. I was about to ask him how he knew my name but he went at it first, "Yes it is you! It's been so long I barely even recognized you. You really have grown-",he continued as I examined evey feature, from his his short charcoal black hair half open and the rest in a small pony tail, the blue dragon tattoo on his left arm, the piercings on his ears, the fact that I only reached the hight of his shoulder meaning he was very tall, and lastly his storming blue eyes. They seemed to be cold at first glance but looking into them for a long amount of time you would realize that they were kind and gentle like the calm before the storm. They also looked like they hid a lot of secrets.

I then looked at his right side eye lid. He blinked and I saw it.

"Aegeus!" I exclaim at I jump into his free hand, rapping my arms around his neck and embracing him in the tightest hug I think I could give anyone.

"Zul... imar... Can't... Brea...th",he tried saying.

I realized it and immediately let go and started apologizing and asking if he was okay.This was like a comedy show for Zephyr, and soon enough Aegeus and I followed down the same path.

Zephyr wanted to go play at the rock pools and catch starfish so know Aegeus and I were just sitting and watching the clouds slowly tuck the gorgeous glowing ball of hydrogen and helium under a blanket of red orange and pink.

"So how as life been treating? I mean besides the fact that you look like you could lift a bulldozer", I exaggerate as I nudge him with my right hand shoulder.

He just chuckled then went onto the explain how the past four years have been. He started of by telling me how Zephyr ceme into the family. He father was having an affair and got the woman pregnant. Suddenly his father was called to do something overseas and never returned. Probably dead or in hiding. The lady had brought the little one to Aegeus and his mother's house and just placed him in their care. Two years after that Ms. Wade had fallen terribly ill and had sadly passed away , l leaving her belongs to her both sons.

A month later Aegeus had gotten his degree in Chemistry and Marine Biology plus became the Captain of the swim team at North East Coastal University. He was supper fast when it came to being in water.

Honestly it's funny we go to the same University but we don't see each other at all. I guess our time slots are different that would make sense.

" Hey remember when we both got our first tattoo. It was on our eye lids.." he looks at me with a smile then stared out at the open ocean and continued, "it was how I recognized you. You were and probably still is the only person that knows my second name so I was able to come to the conclusion when I saw the initials A.Z.W. I am guessing that is how u recognized me as well seeing as to how you only jumped at me after looking at my right eye ",he ended by nudging me with his left shoulder causing me to tip a bit.

I adjusted my seating and turn to him only to be met by his gaze fixated on what was in my had. It was the mysterious shell from earlier on. I was just about to ask him if he wanted it because my shell collection cabinet was already overflowing but once again someone spoke before me :"That would go perfectly your hair, skin and eye color! Would you like he to make a necklace out of for you?"

A smile from ear to ear was beaming on his face and it reminded me of when we were little. Before I could even place the shell in his hand he had already gotten out a midi size spool with clear gut, and a tiny scissors

" 'eriously dude! How in the world did all of that fit in your shorts pockets without falling out?!" I say clearly shocked as I stand pointing at him and the things on the floor . He giggles and avoids the question by asking :"Got any more seashells".

He looks up at me as I rummage through my pockets to find shells that won't give him much trouble but that was a failed attempt. I handed him the shells I found plain and simple which were almost half of them and ran off to go play with Zephyr who was calling me or Aegeus or both of us.
