You decided to leave Sally alone for the day after your quick matchmaking session and maybe I dunno, find Wally?
You wondered who would know where he was and then realised, Eddie! Eddie was delivering mail that morning so he must've seen Wally, right?
You decided to stop by the post office to check with him.
Once you had arrived at the post office you rung a bell on the counter and heard someone -Eddie- shout.
"COMING!!"
Right after that you heard some banging and crashes, then Eddie appeared out of a back room.
"Sorry bout that Y/N! What can I help you with?"
"Did you happen to see Wally this morning?"
You asked.
He thought for a moment before replying
"Hmm.. I think I saw him heading into the forest! If you're going after him be careful though, no one besides Wally goes in there.."
You nodded and thanked Eddie, heading out of the post office and towards a path leading into the forest.
You noticed that it would start to get dark soon so you decided that you would hurry to find him and if you couldn't you would just return Home, he would probably be Home anyway if you couldn't find him.
Whilst wandering and guiding yourself through the endless trees you found yourself in a place that looked familiar. I'm the distance you could see none other than that red house. Home. After just staring at Home confused you could begin to the other houses and stores start to appear in the distance. That was strange.. you had been going in a straight line that whole time. How could you have ended up here again? You decided to brush it off, maybe you did take a few turns you didn't remember taking? Or maybe something else was happening..
You just turned back into the forest again, walking in the opposite direction to the neighbourhood. As soon as you turned around you saw something that was impossible not to see. You saw a big patch of grass, or was like a meadow. How did you miss that? It wasn't even far from where you were standing..
You walked toward the meadows, seeing the sun setting in the distance. Once you reached the end of the woods you stopped. You just stared at the vast land, picking up of some flowers and butterflies almost all over the place. Then, right it the middle of the patch of the giant field you saw none other than your favourite painter. He had a canvas and easel, he was painting the sunset. Still confused on how you missed him in the first place after wandering for so long, you approached Wally.
It's like he could sense you, even with his back turned. He called out to you, simply saying, "Hello, Y/N." You spoke back. "Hello, Wally." You spoke in a firm but friendly tone, walking up behind him and looking at his painting. It was weirdly realistic seeing as his other painting we're usually just doodles or splats of paint on a canvas. But, it did make some sense seeing as he was out here the whole day.
He placed his paintbrush down and turned his head around to you. "Were you looking for me?" He asked. You simply nodded at his words, focusing more on the painting than him. He saw you looking at the painting and smiled wider before asking you something else. "Would you like to be in it? The painting." He asked. You turned your gaze back to him, waiting for a few seconds before agreeing.
He took your hand and guided you over to the area he was painting. He placed you right in the centre, having you stand with your back turned to the easel. He then fixed your outfit slightly to get rid of any wrinkles in the cloth before kneeling to the ground and letting one of the butterflies crawl onto his hand. He lifted his hand to the top of Your head, having the butterfly sit still on your hair. He then smiled brightly again before rushing back to his canvas and making a quick sketch of you right in the middle.
You stood still, a little flustered from this interaction. You were modelling for this guy, that probably means he thinks you're pretty/handsome (¬‿¬ )
