Treehugger

Ren walked outside to see Horo giving the tree in the backyard of Flame Inn a gigantic bear hug. The sight made Ren stop in his tracks. He knew Horo loved nature, but this was ridiculous. This was a full-blown emotional hug, like a hug that says 'oh, I haven't seen you in so long let's go eat dinner and then go to my house'. Mildly (alright, fully) creeped out, Ren took a few tentative steps toward Horo. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Hugging a tree." Horo didn't even look the slightest mortified to be discovered giving a tree a hug. This made Ren even more creeped out, if it was possible.

"You give a literal meaning to the term 'treehugger'."

"Right." Horo gave Ren a look. "Are you a tree?"

"…the hell?"

"Do you want a hug?"

"Of course not! And second of all, trees have leaves on the top, in case you were too stupid to see! Kinda hard to, though, since you're hugging one!" Ren rolled his eyes. Idiot!

At that moment, a slight breeze blew through, scattering some leaves that didn't hold on to their branches tightly enough. As if a sign from heaven, all of them landed on Ren's head.

Before the Chinese boy could brush them off, Horo spoke up. "Well, can I hug you now?" He looked at him expectantly, still clinging onto the tree he was currently hugging.

Ren opened his mouth to protest but decided to give up. "Oh, whatever."
