Unexpected Hero

Prologue

Spencer's perspective:

May this day be better than the previous one. Yesterday that asshole- Todd took my parking space.

He made me late for class. We've been enemies since junior high.

It started out with feelings for the same boy and continues today.

My enemy has a playboy personality. I see him with a new guy every week.

We both study medicine.

Todd's Perspective:

I'm with Daniel. He's handsome and he's great in bed. We are Friends with Benefits. I'm looking for love. Will I really love someone someday?

After the lecture:

I was looking for a place to eat lunch. The only seat left was next to Spencer.

I like to tease him. We even had a fight a few times in high school. He's cute when he gets mad.

I sat down next to him without thinking.

“What do you want from me again?” Spencer asked.

- I just want to eat. I won't do anything to you, I replied.

He calmed down. He's not that ugly at all. Wait, what am I thinking?

I hate him. I have been like this for several weeks. I don't know what's happening to me.

Five weeks later:

Spencer's perspective:

At the University:

I was surprised he was sitting alone. He is always surrounded by a group of fans and seemed to be calm and thoughtful.

Maybe he is sick? Wait, why am I worried about him? After all, we are enemies.

Todd's Perspective:

I'm done with my old way of life.

I've been living like this for two years. I no longer enjoy it.

Lately, I keep thinking about my enemy number 1.

I began to notice his positive character traits:

- he's outgoing

-honest

-clever

- charming when he is embarrassed / mad.

I think I fell in love.

I have to regain his trust.

I understand that he won't trust me so quickly after I've treated him.

I was sitting there in thought when I saw him, he looked amazing.

How could I have missed him before?

Spencer's perspective:

I finished my classes late in the evening.

My car is being repaired.

I was walking back down the darkened alley.

Suddenly I heard someone's footsteps.

I turned around and saw two guys taller and stronger than me.

They were laughing and looking at me strangely.

I didn't feel safe so I started walking faster.

I was afraid they would beat me up or rape me.

I couldn't run anymore. They caught up with me.

They pushed me to the ground and started to touch me. I tried to defend myself, but I was too weak. They ripped my pants.

-Help !!! - I shouted as loud as I could.

-No one will help you, - stated one of them.

I heard someone else's voice:

-Leave him, you motherfuckers.

The attackers turned.

-Oh, isn't it ? campus?

What are you gonna do to us? Will you beat us?

We have numerical advantage, said the second of them.

They fought, and Todd knocked them to the ground.

After a few minutes they ran away.

-Do not move. You are hurt, replied my savior.

I did have bruises and torn clothes. He helped me up and drove me home.

Todd's Perspective:

In the apartment:

I placed Spencer carefully on the bed.

I went to get a first aid kit and new clothes for him.

I have treated his wounds.

What motherfuckers, how could they hurt my cutie? The place of such monsters is in prison.

After treating the wounds:

-Thanks for the rescue. If it weren't for you, they…, ”he began, but was unable to finish the sentence. He cried out.

I hugged him. After a while, he calmed down. I wanted to go but he stopped me.

"Don't go, I don't want to be alone today," he said.

-Okay, I'll stay,-I promised.

I lay down next to him and hugged him.

He fell asleep, so I whispered:

-I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. You are too important to me.

Next day:

Spencer's perspective:

I woke up sore. I still remember the events of yesterday. Todd was still asleep. He's so innocent when he's asleep.

He's not as bad as I thought he was.

I got up from bed.

I decided to make breakfast.

Todd's Perspective:

I woke up. Spencer wasn't next to me. I was worried. After a while I heard noises in the kitchen.

- Hey.-I said hello.

"Hey," he replied.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"A little better," announced the boy.

We drove up to the university.

Other students were surprised that we came together. I didn't care about it. I wanted to be a better person for him. I will look after him from now on.

Lunch time:

We sat down next to our friends. We started talking about various topics. Spencer didn't have the strength to open the water bottle. I helped him. I knew he was still weak after the attack.

“Have you become friends?” Nora asked.

-Todd saved my life. the teenager replied.

“What exactly happened?” Gabriel asked.

I noticed the boy became insecure. It will be a long time before he tells about it.

- It's a difficult topic for him. When he is ready, he will tell about it, I explained.

After school:

Spencer didn't want to go back to his apartment just yet.

He stayed with me for three days.

Five months later:

Our relationship improved. We often watch horror movies and hug each other.

I'll take him on a date. Today our classes were canceled. I called him.

After a while I asked:

- Will you go out with me?

"Yes," he replied.

"I'll come pick you up in an hour," I said.

In the restaurant:

We ordered sushi. After 15 min. the waiter brought the dish. Then we went to the cinema.

After the movie:

"I have to confess something to you, but not here," I said.

In the apartment:

We sat down on the sofa.

“What's the matter?” He asked.

- I like you. I don't know why I didn't notice you before. I tried to fight this feeling, but I can't.

I'll only be faithful to you. Will you become my beloved?

"Yes," he replied.

I kissed him. It was a divine feeling. It was a French kiss. After ten minutes we had to catch our breath.

- I also have to confess to you. The day I was attacked and you thought I was asleep, I was awake. I heard what you whispered to me, he explained.

I was ashamed.

“It was cute of you,” my boyfriend said.

Three years later:

Spencer: 24 years

Todd: 24 years

Spencer's perspective:

We finished our studies. Our loved ones accept our relationship.

Our sex is great.

We slept together after 2 months of relationship.

We are planning a departure from the country. We cannot marry or adopt children here.

My lover proposed to me right after graduating from college. It was at the university.

Everyone congratulated us. Marriage date: May 19.

Eight years later:

Todd's Perspective:

We live in Seattle. We have a baby girl, Maddie.

We argue sometimes, but that's normal in a relationship.

Parents visit us when they have time. They spoil their granddaughter.

Who would have thought I'd fall in love with my enemy?
