Encounter
A/N: OMG I haven’t posted in quite a while! I am deeply sorry for that. I just kinda lost motivation and myself for a bit. I’ve been trying to continue fics whose series I need to finish but I kinda lost track of where I wanted to go with them. I’ll slowly try to figure them out but in the mean time have this fic. I don’t know how often I’ll be posting so please bear with me. I haven’t written in ages either so this might be very bad. Tell me what you think! x)
Setting: Season 13
Summary: You’ve begun to feel a connection between you and a young man who you have never even spoken to. You begin to see him everywhere you go. When you finally have a conversation he reminds you of someone dear to you. Why do you feel this connection? Are you perhaps the same?

It has been, maybe a month, since I met this guy. He was a bit strange. Like a kid who didn’t know much about the world, but also a man who knew too much. Though, by his happy go lucky demeanor, I would have to guess he was just a kid.
Here I am calling him a kid when I’m not that much older than him. Hell, I might even be younger.
Something about the guy draws me closer to him. If I believed in fate, I might just say our meeting was just that, fate. I mean, I met him a month ago, or rather I saw him a month ago. I had just finished visiting a brand new place, I became a traveler of sorts and every new place I hear about, I go to it. I was at a diner, eating my slice of cake with a bit of hot chocolate. That’s when he walked in. It was a passing glance but...
Something about him.
I didn’t see him for another two days. I was on a very crowded street. What else can you expect from New York? Anyways, I was about to cross the street with a dozen others when I saw him. His neat combed hair just somehow seemed to stand out. He was with two other guys but-
My eyes were drawn to him.
I couldn’t help but want to reach out to him. The the closer I tried to get, the farther he seemed to be. Like there was a force repelling us. Like the same sides of a magnet. Maybe we’re the same, him and I?
Then again, a few months after. I walked passed him in the street. Our shoulders bumped and I turned to face him. Although he seemed in a daze, “Excuse me-” he said. His eyes seemed far away, looking for an answer he just couldn’t quite reach. He also seemed somewhat- sad.
I just stood there and watched him walk away. I lost sight of him and didn’t see him again for another three weeks. Which was today. Earlier today.
I was in a donut shop, getting my daily fix of sweets. My mom always told me I got my sweet tooth from my father. Anyways, I was about to leave when I crashed into him as he was coming in. I dropped my brown paper bag full of sugary goodness.
“You again?” I accidentally said out loud.
He tilted his head the the side in wonder and confusion, “Again?” He questioned.
I shook my head. Of course I would say something weird out loud. “Um. I just. I’ve seen you around a few times and. Are you following me?” I ended up questioning as I go to pick up my bag of donuts.
“Following? No. I am looking for someone.” He responded, matter of factly.
I narrowed my eyes, “Who are you looking for that I always seem to be around?”
He stared at me for a moments, deliberating whether to tell me or not. “A Dreamwalker,” he said finally.
“A what now?” I questioned. He must be crazy.
“A dreamwalker. They are able to see other worlds in their dreams.” He explained as if anything he was saying made any sense at all.
“Ri-ght,” I mumbled, “Well, I’ll leave you to that.” I walked out of the donut shop, donuts in hand, though I was practically ripping the bag with how tight I was holding it. The way he talked reminded me of mom. She always said weird things like that.
“Y/N, the world is a dangerous place. There are real monsters out there. I want you to always be careful... Even angels can be evil,” she’d say.
“How can angels be evil?” I whispered to myself.
She might have been a little, well um, crazy- but she was my only family and I love her regardless.
That’s why it hurt so much when she died. It still hurts. Whenever I remember her or whenever I see a family together on the streets. If it ever hurts to much I go visit her. She’s gotten bigger in the last three years. Which sounds crazy right? Well, apparently before she passed she wrote herself a will. She left instruction to have herself cremated with salt, and have her ashes used to plant a new tree. Which is amazing.
In her will she also left me with everything which, although I was her only child and only living relative, according to her, was still surprising. I didn’t really think about it. She wrote that she hopes I stay living in that house, because “after all it was made for you,” she wrote. “Travel if I want but always- ALWAYS, return to the house every so often
I did just that.
But recently, I’ve been feeling a bit strange. It wasn’t too long before I first saw him when it started. I’d get random headaches that I swear I can here people whispering in my head. There was that one time, where I hadn’t slept much at all, and for a second, when I thought it in my head to be somewhere else, there I was. As soon as I blinked I was exactly where i should’ve been. It felt real, but I know I was probably delusional from my lack of sleep.
Some part of me has started to wonder. Does it really have to do with that guy I keep running into?
Hope you liked it!
