You were typically a deep sleeper so feeling a nudge on your shoulder followed by a muffled question wasn't something unfamiliar. Shaking your head groaning "One more minute, I'm tired." Turning your head to the side and feeling thick grass hit your face was a shock.. Grass?

Okay, now that was something you were definitely unfamiliar with. You started blinking your E/C eyes open to see not your comfy pillow but actual grass beside your face.

You had to be wrong, another nudge on your arm and a more concerned question above you had you turning your head to look up to see that hovering not far over your face was a young boy with black and green hair blinking at you with concern etched all over his own and shining in his big brown eyes.

You couldn't help it "What.. the... fuck?" This kid definitely looked familiar... You'd seen him before on tv but it wasn't a possibility to be seeing him now.

"I asked if you are okay? I was heading home and saw you laying in the grass. I've lived here my whole life and have never seen you. Did you get lost?" He kept blinking down at you even more concerned.

Rapidly you went to prop yourself up on an elbow to look around and see that you're in the middle of a field of grass with what appears to be an ocean expanding far into the distance beyond that.

Your head was pounding, carefully you brought a hand up to feel for a wound.

Maybe you hit your head or something, careful not to shake it because of the sudden sharp pains. You turn your head to look up at the boy. "I.. don't know how I got here..? Where am I?"

You had a sinking suspicion you knew but needed to hear him say it. "Well this is Whale Island of course! It's a port island for fishermen." That wasn't right, you couldn't be here.

"This is impossible. I shouldn't be here." The boy blinked at you in concern.

".. Maybe you should come with me back to my aunt's house. You don't look well. It's not too far from here!"

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea.. I uhhh-"

"PLEASE! My Aunt Mito might know how to help you! It's going to be dark soon and I don't want to leave you alone out here." Looking around you noted that he was correct.

The sun did look like it was going to set soon and if you were being honest with yourself you really didn't want to be alone out here. Especially in the dark.

You weren't sure where the town was to begin with and you were positive you wouldn't be finding it in the dark. As much as following him to his Aunt's house seemed intimidating, it was probably the safest bet.

"Oh, okay fine. I suppose I'd probably be in more danger wandering around out here in the dark, I'm Y/N by the way. It feels wrong following you home and you don't even know my name"

"Come on get up! It's probably safer if I get back to the house before the sun sets! I'm Gon in case I forgot to mention that before!"

That caused you to force a smile while trying not to freak out, slowly getting up you brushed the grass off gently and began to follow the boy.

You were trying to figure out if this was a prank or if you had finally lost your mind or if this was really happening.

You had been stressed out as of late, maybe you weren't taking your mental health as seriously as you should have been but this definitely seemed more than a little out there.
