This chapter is extremely short on purpose. I've been experimenting with this style of writing for a while now, so let me know how it turned out. I wasn't originally going to write this- chapter four was going to be about Lukas and Natalia/Belarus's friendship, 'cause they're besties in this. But then I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we delved into the mind of Berwald?" So that's exactly what I did.
Akemi713- Leon is a popular fan name for Hong Kong.
Russia Tashi Lupin- Yes, you may certainly hug Berwald. (I have a feeling you won't be the only one wanting to after this.)
Enjoy!
He's adorable.
That was the first thing Berwald had thought when he saw Tino.
But of course, Tino was scared of him. Just like everyone else.
And he had practically ran away from Berwald.
Just.
Like.
Everyone.
Else.
He didn't blame the other boy. Someone had probably already told him.
About Westwood. About the shock treatments. About how "messed up" and "disturbed" and "crazy" he was. Sadly, it was what his peers knew him for. They didn't know him as Berwald, the boy who read like there was no tomorrow, or Berwald, the boy who would do anything for his younger brother, Peter. Not even as Berwald, the boy who wanted nothing more than to have a friend, just one.
They knew him as Berwald, the boy that 'you should watch out for. Who knows when he'll snap?'
He wasn't sure how much more of it he could take.
Thanks for reading. Since this chapter was so short, I'll try to get another written fairly soon to make up for it.
