So this is my first fanfiction ever… EVER and I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing so I'm just following my instincts and the things I have learned in English class because English isn't my first language

I'm sorry if something here goes terribly wrong and I'm just a failure… maybe this isn't my stuff and I should get back to drawing, but I'll never know if I don't give it a try… LET'S GO!


For the past two days Berwald had being busy assembling his furniture in the house and trying to memorize the village map he had seen online. His new house was completely different of what he was used to, he used to live in a modern apartment in a tall building near the downtown. This house was quite big for him, but sure he could get used to it. A nice brick house with 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living room with a fireplace and a dining room. Quite nice actually but Berwald decided to buy that house because there was a big forest just behind it. So he could always smell the fresh scent of pines, listen to birds sing and he could always hunt for berries in his free time.

Berwald decided it was time to get out and get to know the town himself, besides the fridge was empty and he was hungry, he hadn't had a proper meal since he arrived. As soon as he come out of the house to pick his bicycle the fresh scent of pines hit him, breathing deeply he looked at the neighborhood. It was quiet but you could see there were families with children who played in the streets sometimes. Berwald was quite jealous, he had always wanted to form a family of his own one, but his lack of social interaction didn't help.

Berwald wandered though the shop aisles picking what he needed in his basket, suddenly he saw a girl struggling to reach a box of cereal in one of the top shelves. He walked upon her, reached the box and gave it to the girl.

The girl picked the box "Thank yo..." her voice was cut the second she looked at Berwald's face.

"Yer welc'om" Berwald tried to be nice and the less scary he could.

But the girl quickly took the box and dashed from the aisle to find her mom. Berwald really tried not to be scary and to be nice to people, but it didn't work. So he decided to end his shopping and pay. As soon as the cashier saw him Berwald could sense he had tensed.

"Welcome, is everything fine? Was someone in the staff rude to you?" said the cashier as he checked the articles and packed them.

"Everthin' fine th'nkyou" Berwald said and paid his groceries.

"Have a nice day" waved the cashier relived Berwald had left.

Berwald felt dissaponted; his new beginning wasn't going as he had planned. He was supposed to be nice and even though he tried people always seemed to freak out when they saw him. He couldn't help it, having a scary face and a rough accent wasn't his fault.

As soon as Berwald arrived to his house, got his groceries into the fridge, but he wasn't hungry any more. He just wanted to forget the first impression he had given to this new town. Where he was supposed to be friendly. He came out of the house again, this time just to get into the forest, where people won't judge him, where he could feel part of something.

He started wandering in the forest, the tall trees let some rays of sun pass though the leaves. Berwald had always liked nature; his father had tough Mathias and him about the trees, the animals that lived in the forest and to identify berries so they could avoid the poisonous ones. Berwald spotted a bush with mature berries, he suddenly felt his stomach growl so he picked some and eat them. He was pretty sure they weren't poisonous so it was perfectly safe. He had some berries left in his hand; sure they'll later be useful so he put them into his pocket. That couldn't be Berwald's new beginning, the new town was nice and he really liked it, but as far as it was going, it seemed it would be the same as always. Berwald the scary neighbor. He just wanted to escape this thoughts when suddenly all his efforts to assembly the furniture made effect and Berwald felt really sleepy. The forest didn't looked as the best place to sleep but Berwald didn't felt like returning home, besides it was steel early so he just sat on a near tree and felt asleep.
