The door knocked. It was pouring outside, who could be visiting under a weather like this? In response, [Name] yelled out to their mother, who instructed them not to open the door if they did not know who was outside (a lesson to be learned by everybody). Their mother opened the door, which revealed [Name]'s best friend and their neighbor: Mabel. She was soaking wet, her eyes seemed red and puffy. Seems like she's been crying. Mabel flinched as thunder struck nearby with a loud bang. [Name]'s mom quickly rushed her inside, throwing a fluffy towel over her.

---

"Mabel sweetie, would you like to stay here tonight?" [name]'s mom offered, drying Mabel off with a towel and hair dryer. Mabel nodded, this wasn't the first time. She felt comfortable here, she has always liked [name]'s mom more rather than her biological one. [Name] cheered as Mabel agreed before running to their room and setting a mattress up for their friend. Mabel was silent. Tears rolled down her red cheeks, sniffling softly.

---

Silently, Mabel sat on the mattress given to her by the [last name] family. [Name] laughed loudly as they jumped on their bed, truly an airhead.

Mabel loved staying with the [last name] family, despite their small home. [Name] waved their hand before her face, snapping her out of her thoughts. They shared confused looks before laughing at each other's silly expressions before engaging in a pillow fight.

A call from [name]'s father announced dinner was ready. [Name] guided Mabel to the dining room table, seated her next to them at the table.  [Name]'s mom handed Mabel a bowl of rice, she thanked her but Mabel didn't feel hungry, she just wanted to sleep. She just pushed the food around, not really wanting to eat it. [Name] pouted at the sight, they used their chopsticks and picked a piece of meat up and stuffed it into her mouth, scaring the living daylights out of her. 

"Don't ever do that again [name]. She might not like it." [Name]'s mother scolded. [name] huffed up their chest but apologized to Mabel, who wasn't listening as she was too busy savoring the food. 

"You make good food Mr. [Last Name]." Mabel complimented 

The man stared for a few seconds before laughing "Thank you dear, but no need to be so formal, you can just call me Uncle [Dad/random male name]." He flashed her a inviting smile. Mabel's eyes glistened before nodding while smiling back.

"Goodnight kids!" the [Last name] parents yelled as they slowly closed the door.

"Night night!" [name] yelled back.

"Goodnight" Mabel's voice was the softest, but she didn't mind. 

"Mabellll?" [Name] whined after their parents closed the door

"Yeah?" 

"When we grow up, do you think we can be like my mom and dad?" The [h/c] child asked innocently. Mabel fell silent, she knew more about love than any other 7 year old.

Why? She's been always reading books.

Books about what? Books to find ways to get her mother to show affection towards her. 

"Maybe" Mabel replied nonchalantly, lying down on the bed.

...

"Mabellll?" [Name] whined again.

"Yes?" Mabel responded, feeling slightly annoyed.

"What's a crush?"

Mabel paused for a while "A crush.... is a strong feeling of love for someone." 

"Then I have a crush on you Mabel!" [Name] smiled. How innocent.

A light pink brushed across Mabel's cheeks as an uncontrollable smile crept onto her face.  "Me too [Name], me too."
