RIP Oliver the fish

"I want a perm."
"Whatttt?" Kate said cluelessly.
"I said, I want a perm." I said to her.
"I know from personal experience that it will bring your beautiful hair down into the ground." She said to me sarcastically.
I cleared my throat.
"When I got one I regretted it so, so much." She warned me.
She lifted a hand to touch her hair.
"So can I get one?" I asked desperately.
Kate laughed for a short amount of time and looked at me.
"Really? I mean I don't care just don't bother me when your hair falls out."
I internally screamed.
"Wait I can?" I asked excitedly.
She look over at me past Flora and smiled.
"Don't push it y/n." She told me jokingly.
"Okay, okayyy." I said.
I looked down at the grass while still smiling.
Before I knew it we came to a stop. There we were, in front of a beautiful pond filled with large, multicolored fish.
"Look!" Kate said.
"That koi is like, bumping into the wall." She said to Flora.
"Does that hurt, fishy?" Flora asked as she stared down into the water.
Kate giggled with the little girl. I looked over at Miles who stared down into the water with a blank expression on his face.
"Isn't it beautiful?" I asked him.
He turned his head slightly to see me.
"I guess." He plainly said.
I don't know why I did what I did, but I smiled, really big. Miles stared into my y/e/c eyes as I did the same to him. I felt him caress my hand with his thumb as he held it. I wish I was able to always have these moments with him, just feeling like we only knew each other and nobody else. Something about him just makes me feel so incredible. I just want to be hidden in his arms.
"MILES!" We heard a small voice say.
We both turned our heads in the direction of the voice to find it was Flora.
"It has a fish!" She yelled while pointing somewhere. I followed her finger tip to the area she was pointing at. I was then stunned and felt disgusted to see a crow eating a fish's guts.
Before i knew it Miles let go of my hand and we all ran to the situation.
"Stop!" Flora helplessly yelled.
I even saw the tears in Floras eyes as we ran.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF HER!" Miles screamed at the crow.
Once we all stopped we watched it quickly take flight with a blood stained beak. Flora whimpered and a single tear went down her cheek. I then reached down to rub her shoulder gently as she cried. When I looked up at miles he was staring at the fish while heavily breathing.
"Miles-." Kate got cut off by the sound of squishing.
All of our eyes widened to see Miles repeatedly banging on the fish with the heel of his boot. Blood splattered everywhere and Flora dug her head into my side. When he stopped we were all speechless until Kate spoke up,
"Miles. What are you doing?" She asked with slight fear lurking in her voice.
He looked up at all of us with his chest rising and falling over and over.
"Nothing should have to suffer." He spoke with a mysterious tone.
"Now you've seen the koi pond." He said to Kate mockingly.
Miles walked closer to us all and made eye contact with me.
"That was my favorite fish..Oliver." Flora said while still crying.
I broke the contact and looked down at her. I began to bend down so she let go of me and soon I was her height.
"Oh Flora I'm so sorry.." I said comfortingly as I leaned in for a hug.
Her tears stained my sleeve, luckily I had taken off Miles's sweater to adjust my shirt before. When our hug ended i stood back up and I saw Miles directly in front of me.
"We should go." He said to me.
Before I spoke he grabbed my hand, gently and led me to an unknown location.

"Like this?" I asked him as I gently banged on the drums.
"Uhm, yeah you have the rhythm right just try to bang a little harder."
I tried a little harder and he spoke again.
"Yeah, just like that."
As we continued with the lessons a voice was heard from downstairs.
"CHILDREN DINNER!" We heard a voice say.
Miles then stood up and held out a hand. I gently put the two drumsticks in his hand and stepped away from the drum set. He set the sticks on one of his his record shelves and walked closer to me.
"You're a fast learner.."
