Welcome to the 2nd chapter, finally! Things may seem a little rushed, and I apologize for that! So how about Twenty One Pilots' leaked song, amirite?br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /-br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / em style="box-sizing: border-box;"After I had left Yukine in the woods, I started thinking about what to do now that I have to care for two of us when I could barely support myself to begin with. I sighed and rubbed my head, messing up my hair even style="box-sizing: border-box;" /emI could ask Greed to do me favors, em style="box-sizing: border-box;"I begin. /emNever mind. He'd want something in return and he hates me anyways, so. em style="box-sizing: border-box;"I groaned, a headache had started to form in the middle of my forehead. /emWhat else could I possibly do?br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Crash!br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / What the fuck was that? em style="box-sizing: border-box;"I turn around to see a that a particular blond had followed me out of the woods, basically in plain sight. Not only that, we're near Irish villages, not that they could have noticed him as a Brit from first glance, but still, it's style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "What the fuck are you doing?" I growled. "I told you to stay by the lake because you're not supposed to be here."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / He looked up at me with the wide amber eyes I fell in love with. They had a hint of panic in them, yet they also showed determination and style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I won't be bossed around by someone like you. I left authority back over in Britain," he style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Ah, there's that superiority that the British like to show and that made my anger rise and my headache style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "You could get killed!" I snapped. "What made you think this was okay?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / He looked away and bit his lip, his eyes narrowing. I could feel the guilt radiating off of him in waves. I sighed, calming myself down before I spoke style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Whatever. Let's go back to the lake and make you a little house in a tree or something," I huff, my voice soft and style="box-sizing: border-box;" / He snapped his beautiful amber gaze back to me, a look of surprise in his fiery eyes. "Really?" he breathed style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I gave a small nod and walked over to him, offering my style="box-sizing: border-box;" / He eyed it cautiously before taking it before taking it and getting off the ground. When he let go, I felt sparks across my skin where his palm touched style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Once we make quick eye contact, I gestured for him to follow, turning away and disappearing back into the thick bushes leading to the forest. I listened behind me to make sure he's actually following me to make sure he didn't go run off like he did when I first left him. Hearing the soft footsteps behind me, I assured myself that he's following me and I can continue walking. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I take a small breath in and enjoyed the smell of flowers around me. Said flowers are colorful, sprouting out at random spots of the ground. The slight breeze causing the trees to whisper calms my nerves. But my favorite has to be the scenery. The colorful, randomly placed flowers with the beautiful shade of green with the ground make a collage I would love to paint. The trees placed in just the right ways to make it look like there's a small path leading to the lake and the bushes lining said path. Even in winter, when everything is dead, it still makes a beautiful picture. The stark white against the dark brown of the trees has a nice contrast, and the slight fog surrounding everything makes it seem eerie and sad. This area has to be my favorite out of all my other hangout spots in style="box-sizing: border-box;" / A soft grunt and a thumping sound came from behind me, dragging me out of my thoughts. I turn to see Yukine pinned to the ground by a teenage girl with long dark brown hair and dark magenta eyes. She looks to be in a gray overcoat, a pink scarf (I don't know why, it's in the middle of summer), and a knee-length style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Yukine!" she screeched. "I've been looking everywhere for you! Yato and I were so worried!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / The small blond opened his mouth, but got interrupted before he could say style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "You, sir, are coming back to Britain. I can't believe you went into forbidden land!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / She had gotten off him and pulled him to his feet, she tightened her grip on his hand and started to drag him away. Now that I think about it, she had a slight British accent. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I watched in amusement as Yukine struggled out of the brunette's style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Hiyori, stop!" he finally style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "What? Why?" she asked, looking confused. "Don't you want to come back? Yato and I miss you!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / /emSo her name's Hiyori, em style="box-sizing: border-box;"I think. /emBut who's Yato?br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / em style="box-sizing: border-box;" Yukine's yelling dragged me out of my thoughts for the second time that style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "No, I don't want to go back!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / The girl, or Hiyori, looked hurt. "Why not?" her voice sounded small and style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Because, Yato doesn't ever have a place to stay and he's broke all the time. I'm sick of it!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "But what about me? I thought we were friends!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Yukine looked away and bit his lip, the kid obviously didn't have anything to say and I feared he might split his lip open from biting it many times today, so I style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I walked over. "Hey, he obviously doesn't wanna go back, so why force him?" I stated style="box-sizing: border-box;" / She looked taken aback. "Who are you?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "I'm his caretaker at the moment and that's all you need to know about me. If he wants to go back to England, I'll get him there safely. He managed to cross the border and get this far, so I'll help him out and help him cross the border back." I say quickly, not giving her room to style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Now, she started to look crossed and Yukine was starting to shift uncomfortably and anxiously next to style="box-sizing: border-box;" / A thick silence fills the air and Hiyori's magenta eyes narrow. Yukine had stepped back a couple of feet style="box-sizing: border-box;" / She had screeched something and before I know it, I'm on my side and a splitting headache made itself present. I blinked for a couple seconds before the realization that she had kicked me shot through the style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I groaned and rubbed my head, standing up. I've already lost my cool. I give her a sharp glare and I curl my lip. My violet eyes meet hers and before I knew what I was doing, I lunged at style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Someone from behind me had wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me style="box-sizing: border-box;" / "Pride, stop!" the blond behind me style="box-sizing: border-box;" / I froze for a minute, but rage completely took over again and I force myself out of his grip and made my way for Hiyori again, curling my hand into a fist and aiming to punch her style="box-sizing: border-box;" / Yukine got in the way, however and I ended up punching him instead. Once I heard the soft thump of his body hitting the ground, my rage died away and I realized what I had just style="box-sizing: border-box;" / style="box-sizing: border-box;" / em style="box-sizing: border-box;" Yukine looked up at me and slowly got off the ground. Shocked amber eyes met guilty violet ones. I sucked in a breath and started to look away, noticing the bruise forming under his left eye./embr style="box-sizing: border-box;" /em style="box-sizing: border-box;" I felt Hiyori's gaze on me and I glanced at her. She was slowly backing away and once my violet eyes met her magenta ones, she booked it deeper into the forest in which she came./embr style="box-sizing: border-box;" /em style="box-sizing: border-box;" I looked back at Yukine, his once beautiful amber gaze full of shock, hurt, and worry. For some reason, I couldn't stand it and I took off deeper into the woods, ignoring the fading calls of protest./embr style="box-sizing: border-box;" /em style="box-sizing: border-box;"-/embr style="box-sizing: border-box;" /Huehuehue. Don't worry guys, I won't leave you on this cliffhanger for long, I promise.
I'm gonna write another story with this one, but I'm not sure what that's gonna be yet. Don't worry about me changing to italics either, that will be explained in due time, my dudes. Sorry if this seems a little bit rushed! See you in the next chapter, my dudes/p
