Hey Everyone :) This is a cute little Flora and Helia story that I came up with while suffering from writer's block on another story.

I do not own Winx Club or any of the characters, except my OC who you all will meet :)

Enjoy


They say that time travel is for immortals and fools, marriage is for love sick fools, by what about love? Are we just fools? Are we all just fools in love? In Helia's case, he would be a fool, a fool in love. They also say that love is blind, it can blind us from the things that we promise or the things that are important to us. Helia was blind the moment he first saw Flora. He fell for her, he fell hard, but being blinded at first sight, caused him to forget everything that didn't involve Flora, or dated back before seeing Flora, forgetting everything that he had left behind back home, including Lily.

On Vallisto, a planet that inspires young artists to fulfil their desires of seeing their own works of art hanging in Magix museum. Vallisto inspired famous paintings from the Mona Lisa, to The Scream. In the heart of the city stood a large stone castle that had stood there for hundreds of years. Inside, the castle was home to hundreds of young aspiring artists. This building was Vallisto's most famous art boarding school. Welcome to Artifex, Vallisto's school of art, Helia's old art school.

A young teenage girl sat in her dorm staring out the window. She sat on the window mattress leaning up against the wall. She had long black hair with pink streaks that was pulled into a bun. She had pink bangs that shaped her face. The girl wore a black skirt with a pink bow on the side with a v neck white top tucked in the skit with black ballet flats with white on the toes. She clutched a bracelet that she wore around her wrist. It was her prized possession, she never took it off, and she took it everywhere. It was sterling silver with different charms on it. Some were objects such as a rose, a paint brush; while others had gems on them, but what stood out the most and was sitting in the centre, was a gold heart charm. On the back of the heart had 'H + L' on it. It was the only thing she had to remember him when he had left. She still remembered the last time she saw him.


It was the beginning of summer break. They had spent the day at the park when it started to rain. They had taken cover under one of the gazebos, and that was when it happened.

"I have to go and visit my uncle over the break" a young man said causing the girl to tense up.

"What?" She yelled stunned that he chose now to tell her. "But you said we would be together these holidays. Just us, no friends or teachers disrupting us. We have been together for an entire year, and we would celebrate it these holidays."

"I know" the guy replied ashamed to see his girlfriend like this. "I'm sorry, but I haven't seen him in years."

The girl looked at him. She could tell by his eyes, and his facial expression that there was more to the story than he was letting on.

"I feel like there is something you're not telling me" she said suspiciously staring into his deep green eyes.

She watched his eyes widen slightly hearing what she had said. She looked at him as his dark black hair fell over his face, covering his left eye slightly. She watched his lean, muscly chest, with more muscles that any other guy in the school, hidden under his green shirt inhale and exhale and he thought about what he was going to say next.

"My uncle wants me to visit him so he can persuade me to transfer to his school" he answered staring at the floor, refusing to look her in the eye.

"What!" she yelled. "You can't transfer! What about us? We can't have a long distance relationship, not when we're realms apart" she said as tears began to fall down her face.

The love of her life walked up to her and wrapped his strong arms around her.

"Hey, I'm not leaving you. That school is based on fighting, there is no way I would consider leaving you, or spending more than a couple of days there" he said calming his girlfriend down.

"Are you sure?" she asked leaning against his chest.

"A pacifist at Red Fountain? Like that would ever happen" he joked.

The girl giggled as the guy pulled away and took something out of his pocket.

"This is for you" he said handing her a small box.

The girl smiled and she opened the lid. Her eyes widened seeing the sterling silver bracelet lying in its box. She picked it up and admired it. She loved it. She adored the gold heart in the middle with their initials on the back.

"Oh my, it's stunning" she said speechless.

"I'm glad" he replied placing the bracelet on her left wrist. "This way, you will have a part of me with you while I'm gone."

"You promise you're coming back?"

"Before school starts, I promise" he replied sincerely.

"I love you, Helia" the girl said staring up at him.

"I love you too, Lily" the guy replied and he cupped the girl's face and kissed her.


And that was the last time she saw him. It was now the start of a new semester. She hadn't seen Helia in almost a whole year, without one word from him. She was determined to find out what happened, and maybe, her grandmother's friendly invitation as a transfer student at Alfea was just what the doctor ordered.


So what do you think?

Tell me what you think :) Love it, hate it. I don't hold grudges, but please be nice :)
